  1. If you're going to keep Folder and "File/Folder" split in the Add dialog then you need to have it retain the \ at the end of the folder side or it always goes one folder higher ever time. Also, it shows the same folder multiple times in the pulldown, instead of just moving the old instance up in the list. I've got the same folders like 40 times.

    Agreed. I posted a topic as a bug report on this issue, now I don't know if I should have posted it here or there.

    I believe there's something wrong with the behavior of the new "Save In" and "Name" fields at the AT dialog, presented on the latest 3.2 beta builds.

    When I add a torrent, the AT dialog show me two fields:

    Save in: which is the directory in which I want to save the files.

    Name: Which is the name of the subfolder that will be created inside the "Save in" directory and contain the downloaded files.

    When I add a second torrent, the Save In dropdown list should be filled with the path to the directory that I pointed on that same field for previous torrents, but instead it is showing the path that I pointed + the name of the previous torrents downloaded.

    For example:

    I want to add a torrent named Torrent1.

    At the Save In field, I point to X:\Downloads\Music

    At the Name field, there is the name of the torrent, Torrent1

    So the files will be saved to X:\Downloads\Music\Torrent1

    Perfect, so far.

    When I add a second torrent, I click the Save In dropdown expecting to select the same previous folder X:\Downloads\Music, so that I can add Torrent2 to it, and then the files would be downloaded to X:\Downloads\Music\Torrent2

    But instead, utorrent shows me X:\Downloads\Music\Torrent1 as a Save in option, so I have to either select this option and delete the Torrent1 part of the path (to avoid my files being saved to X:\Downloads\Music\Torrent1\Torrent2), or I have to manually select the X:\Downloads\Music path again.

    I believe this totally disrupts the two separate fields function, and because of that I understand that this is a bug.

    I think the "Save In" dropdown should show only the exact paths that I selected for that field, so I can easily select different destinations depending on the type of torrent that I'm adding, like:

    X:\Downloads\Music

    X:\Downloads\Movies

    X:\Downloads\Games

    Or didn't I understand the function of this new "feature"?

  2. I just installed Vuze to test, and it does exactly what we are asking here. From the AT dialog (using a magnet link), you can see the files that you are going to download, and select the files you want BEFORE actually adding the download to the queue.

    Loading contents from magnet link:

    Let the user select the files BEFORE starting the download:

    Too bad that Vuze is full of bloatware.

  3. So you are willing to give access to your hard drive, to other users, so they can "Query torrent file contents", if you already have the .torrent file?

    If I click OK at the AT dialog, won't it somehow load the torrent contents anyway? (and show it at the Files tab) Why can't this be done at the AT dialog, before clicking OK?

  4. I agree that a button at the AT dialog would be the best option. Something like "Query torrent file contents" button, followed by a loading spinner (like suggested above) would be perfect for me. This gives the user an option to start the download right away (as it is today) or wait a few seconds and check the contents of the torrent before starting it. This is very useful to identify fake torrents (passworded .rar file inside) or simply to avoid those torrents with several zipped parts when the next torrent on the list has the complete single file that you want.

    I'm glad to see that A LOT of people feel annoyed by the current implementation too.
