Unable to select 'Other' save directory
When I open a new torrent file, I am unable to select a Save As directory other than those listed in my history.
If I select "Other..." it does not display a Finder window. If I continue and hit save to "Other..." it attempts to start downloading, then fails.
Any ideas?

Re: Unable to select 'Other' save directory

Re: Unable to select 'Other' save directory
Any news on this item?
I am facing the same issue in 2.0.1, however, the "Other" option will no longer proceed to commence downloading. An error is displayed, but no option to manually select a directory.

Re: Unable to select 'Other' save directory
I've been having this problem for the past few months.
I'm currently using Version 2.0.2 (26717), I just recently upgraded to this but was originally using 1.5 when the problem started.
This is very inconvenient, makes it very hard to stay organized.
Why is there no solution for this huge problem?its been over 4 months since this thread was started...and its gotten over 900 views, clearly this is a problem for a lot of people.
wtf

Re: Unable to select 'Other' save directory
Having this same issue as well. Recently switched from a PC to a Mac and it's frustrating! Might consider using another torrent client...

Re: Unable to select 'Other' save directory
Hi
Same problem here Mac Version 10.8.2 uTorrent version 1.8.1 (28758)
But I am unable to find the directory for the settings file you just said. I can get to the library and application support file but the utorrent file is not there. It is only there if i find it thru utorrent using the directories file. but when I am there i am unable to drag anything anywhere or delete any files.
I have been having this problem for months.

B: It hasn't reached the time limit.
