Prompt to save in different location

[Koesherbacon]

Maybe I'm just stupid and can't figure out how to get the uTorrent OS X client to do this, but no matter what .torrent file I open, it begins to automatically download to the default folder (~/Downloads).

Is there a way to be prompted for another destination folder in the OS X client? If there is not a way to do this in the current version, that is something I definitely would like to see in the next version of the beta!

Thanks!

ops... I've posted the same request 2 minutes after this threat! Sorry, admins!

Um there is an option, go to the utorrent menu bar then preferences then downloads then at the bottom it has the default download location (which you can change)

Update: My Bad!

No, the request is for µTorrent to ask every time a torrent is added, not just to allow a different directory to be used.

[circa86]

not only that, you really need to be able to filter out what files you need to download from a torrent. there is no reason this should not be included.

basically everything the windows version of the app can do, the Mac version should definitely be able to do. no reason at all why that shouldn't be possible.

[Koesherbacon]

Right, those two features are unfortunately not part of this current version of uTorrent. I'd love to keep trying uTorrent for Mac but right now it is still missing some essential options that Transmission has. Right now, uTorrent just doesn't seem to have the same "umph" that Transmission has.

Remember, it's only a beta.

Wait till they have the full release...

[bhast2]

this feature should be top on the list as I will stick to transmission until this gets added because i like to save stuff in different spots

and I don't want to have to manually move them kinda pointless

But great release I have been waiting for this forever and hope that a update comes soon

I have no idea why this wasn't included. I tried the alpha and never even started a single download when I saw this wasn't possible. I have all of my different types of media in different folders (audio, video, etc). I'll have to stick with Transmission for now. This Sucks. Big Time. :mad:

+1 for this 'feature'.

[kinatas]

you can actually do this, it's just not as comfortable as having a dialog every time you load a .torrent file..

from preferences->download disable "start transfer after opening each torrent file", open up a multi-file torrent, go to the "files" tab in the info panel and set priority to "don't download" for the files you don't want to get, start the transfer...

as for the download location you can still change location from the preferences->download tab before opening a new torrent... it's not really comfortable but right now it's the only way to do it btw if a torrent were already downloaded (for example if you're transferring completed downloads from transmission to utorrent), choosing the same location as destination folder automatically re-checks contents and resumes/starts seeding... I guess it's an accettable compromise while waiting for a stable release...

anyway having a dialog window every time you open a torrent would be great anyway, so this is definitely a +1 to the request

[Paskal]

I'll try to ut it into my own word..

I want to add my old torrent(from Vuze for exmpl) into my new loved app(uTorrent beta) and I want to start it seeding right now!

So I wish to have an option where I can choose the download directory manually for each torrent. Each torrent.

[kinatas]

you mean each file inside a torrent? like, for example in a music album with 10 different MP3 files, having the ability to save those 10 mp3s in 10 different locations?

[Paskal]

no-no.

I meant per each torrent.

Thank you for correcting me)

[antikorr]

It's kinda strange indeed, that this obvious function hasn't been implemented. Hope, the next beta will solve this annoying issue. Cheers!

[filipesmg]

I think I'll stick with utorrent. I've started a 170Mb file at the same time in Transmission and utorrent. When utorrent finished it, Transmission had only downloaded 50Mb.

[antikorr]

Gee! filipesmg's post is the answer to the number of Mac users, sticked with Transmission and asking 'What's so cool about uTrorrent afterall?'. Well, now this cool difference seems to be pretty obvious, huh.

[mrt2]

+1 for this feature!

Also thanks soooo much for this. I've been waiting forever!

I really appreciate all the time and obvious hard work that went into creating this app. I"m going to stick with Transmission as my primary right now just because of this essential feature mostly but once this is added I am switching right away. Thanks again guys!

[fjckls]

This option is very cruical, hope U-team will add it to next release.

Thnks for all work! Can't wait for proper release!

[Matt63]

I agree - a prompt window when a torrent is opened so you can choose what to download and where to save it would be a lot better than the current way.

Think I'll have to try filipesmg's test to see if it works for me. If it does, then there's no way I'd go back to transmission!

[disco2000]

Ah I just made the exact same request in another forum.. I can see a lot of overlapping threads being made here..

anywho, yes +++1 for this feature.

[jorgp]

+1 for this feature also

[groovenu]

+1 for this one too - it's nice to be able to pre-sort video / audio / programs.

[Rickard]

+1

This is a deal breaker.

[Drama]

sorry for the dubblepost. +1 on this feature.
