Folders issue... How NOT to create them...

[LaughingSkull]

How can I make the program NOT create new folders at the location that I have pointed? This bugs me to no end as the program becomes confused when I move the files later.

[ICleolion]

by taking the new folder name out of the Save As download location in the add new torrent window.

e.g. So instead of this -> C:\TestTorrent

With TestTorrent being the name of the folder being created.

Edit the line to say this -> C:\

That's not really a solution.

Say I wanted the files to be downloaded to C:\. What then?

[ICleolion]

It is a solution. And my example above does exactly what you ask for.

And its not that program that gets confused when you move files, its you who gets confused.

The ideal solution would be for you to not move files around.

Take it easy there, I meant no offence. Sorry.

Yes, the explanation you offered is a solution, but not in all cases.

Say I wanted to download the files to C:/. What should I do?

[ICleolion]

Yes it is a solution in all cases, and for your benefit im going to repeat what i said in my initial reply. In the Add New Torrent dialog. At the top where it says Save As. Type in C:\

Apparently the solution works when you download the files straight on the hard drive, and not in any folder.

But let's say I have a folder "stuff" on C: and want to download the files strictly in it, without creating any folders. The program will create a folder "files" in C:\stuff, though, and will place the files there. So, at the end, the files will be located in C:\stuff\files, instead of in C:\stuff, where I wanted them. What can I do to get around that?

[ICleolion]

type in C:\stuff into the Save As area at the top of the Add New Torrent dialog.

If you are talking about changing the fundamental file structure of the torrent contents itself so that all files are taken out of subdirectories and flat packed in one directory, then you can forget about having a feature like that.

The folder can contain a path too especially with multiple files. If the 'files' folder you talk about is coded in the torrent there is nothing you can do.

You can see the folders that are coded into the torrent itself in the files tab in µtorrent.

Yah, that's what ICleolion just addressed at the end of his last post

But... he... like... didn't... mention how to... like... find that out... using... like... the files tab and all... but don't shoot me... think of my children... which... I might have in the future.
