akaidiot Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 This will defenatly be a uTorrent unique feature. And useful & cool too! So for example all TV-episode torrent on my TV-torrent tracker will have the TV episode folder as default download folder and my music trackers torrents will have my music folder as default etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teloriun Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Although i like the idea... how would the client know what went where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaidiot Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Well, it has the tracker address, right? So only make it possible to make rules with regular expression. So for example: When the tracker URL includes the string "oink.me.uk" the default folder will be my music folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teloriun Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Might work on a tracker which is dedicated to specific things like your oink example..but what about trackers where you can get varied items from software to music to games? Like i said, its a nice idea... maybe some boffins out there have some more ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrinkols Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 You could have it check the files. If tracker is oink.me.uk and file extensions include mp3 then put it in music folder. Good idea, although I don't know that i'd use it. It would be nice to keep things sorted for trackers that you upload and download often. Especially if you could have it move the .torrent to the same folder (or different one for that same tracker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Personally, I think this feature request would fall under the category of stuff very few people want and most people won't use. Having a centralized download folder gives you a lot more freedom in deciding where things go, and would be plenty better than setting regexes as download folder rules. uTorrent is a BitTorrent, not a download organizer, so I don't think this feature is applicable to it.EDIT: whoops @ typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Are trackers speciallized by content? Not really, so it would make a poor criteria and it would just increase the hassle of moving files around.How do you organize your MP3s, just as an example? There are so many ways that I just don't see a program doing this for me. We all have our personal way to organize files within folders, so any criteria would always fall short and would not satisfy anyone. I've seen a similar request based on another criteria but honestly, all this managing of files on folders is just too complex to put into a little program.

sputnik Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Are trackers speciallized by content? Not really, so it would make a poor criteria and it would just increase the hassle of moving files around.Not really? speak for yourself. i am using 3 trackers, and i would love te ability to not mix the download form them in one folder, since they are so different.all in all this would be a great feature.

I have several torrents set up to use 5 public trackers. I've seen many torrents that come with several different trackers already in it.If organizing is so important to you, just rename your torrents and destination directory to begin with [tracker.site.org].This is a niche-option at best. Unnecessary.-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have to agree with Smoovious and slayers on this matter. It's a very very specific feature with many quirks and very tracker-dependent.Personally, I dont think it will be all that useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esculap Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 i definitely vote for category download folders; i have 1000s of downloaded torrents, unsorted; imagine how easy would've been if i had them sorted by categories tracker specific folders would not help too much for the reasons stated above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Covered under "per label" options (do another forum search). Thank you for searching the forum, but resurrecting a 2 year old thread makes it just likely to get sent to the trash bin. I await per-label options with baited breath as well. Uhm, I have 4200, err 4201 torrents loaded right now, and well they are loaded into up to 18 different "categories" a.k.a. user labels. That suffices but I agree being able to automatically set settings similar to those already enabled, but for label would be highly useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartakus Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The app in my signature should cover most people's needs when it comes to organizing and unpacking your downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esculap Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 @ jewelisheaven : i agree with you, but the fact that ppl are talking about this feature since 2 years ago (i read this post at that time too) and the feature is still missing makes it a reason good enough for an update; that's why i choose to actually post here@ Spartakus : (off-topic) i tested that app and doesn't satisfy my needs; it needs too much memory to run properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 @jewel: I know this is off-topic and hate to be old-fashioned/a grammar nazi, but... incorrect usage like this and this really gets my goat so here's a tip I hope you don't mind: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bai1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peterson Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I want this feature for a movies tracker.The download directory selection popup on adding torrents is out of the question, that's too annoying.So now I end up using Set Download Location a lot more than I would need if a simple tracker check was done when a torrent is added!
