Possible to choose destination of download in WebUI?

[osen]

I've configured uTorrent with Web UI on my server and it works great, BUT, is there any way to choose a destination folder on the server? I don't like to have everything in the same folder, for example, I want one folder for Linux iso's, one for music, one for movies and so on. Is this possible? Am I missing something really simple?

Any input is appreciated.

There is no way to specify the destination at the moment, though the ability to do so is most definitely being discussed. There are some privacy/security concerns related with simply allowing the entire computer to be browsed remotely, after all.

Wow, thank you for the fast reply

Yes, the security of course crossed my mind, but is it really necessary to browse the entire computer? Would it not be possible to assign some folders that would be accessible from the Web UI? For example \\Server\Downloads\Music(\Movies and so on ...) You would then be able to choose the destination from those folders only.

Yes, that's one of the proposed solutions, but at this point, nothing's final.

This was over 2 years ago now, has this been implemented yet?

This feature would be great, close to a must have for me.

µTorrent 3.0 supports defining of specific download directories allowed to be selected from WebUI. It is not yet implemented in the WebUI frontend.

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=75444 it can show the list of defined folders, and even search similar subfolders in them

Developers, plz... Add this functionality. It needs at almost each torrent!

@Ultima reg "µTorrent 3.0 supports defining of specific download directories allowed to be selected from WebUI."

Is there a public location for this info, or only available to you ?

I desperately need this, so even a command string would do for my uses...

It is not yet fully implemented. The preferences Ultima refers to simply indicate that this is coming.

In the preferences you can specify a folder to move completed torrents to, and there is a checkbox to append the torrent's label to the path. So as a workaround, you could label the torrent through the WebUI to get it a sub folder.

Download uTorrent Linux server 3.0 and read the readme file. The webui API is documented there including the new stuff you need.

Awsome !!!

download_dir works but not sub_path. Guess it will be available in uTorrent3 soone

Thanx for the info, can dev my system for it solong

[matejdro]

So any news about that?

I don't need to browse folders, just little textbox when adding torrent, specifying where will be data stored.

Actually you can do this with the help of my command-line utility. It lets you specify download dir for a specific torrent submit, like this:

utorrentctl.py -a file.torrent --dir /home/user/downloads

It will temporarily change dir_active_download setting to your value and will change back after submit. I use it as a part of batch job that submits all *.torrent files from my local download dir. The utility is here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=85684

If you can get to the torrent quick enough (small torrents) or set them not to start automatically then this works thanks!

Will there ever be the option to move the location of downloaded torrents by labelling them AFTER download?

Would be a nice quick way for me to tidy up all the downloaded data that is in the default directory.
