Move finished downloads manually with utorrent...

[11Iceman11]

Hi all...

the problem i have is when i finish download of some torrent, i manually put him from etc. Movies (if it had Movie tag) to more specific respected folder on my Computer with explorer. When i do that, utorrent can no longer find the file for other users to upload it, ofc, and it gives error...

if u would implement some kind of File/Move torrent location from within utorrent, then utorrent will know where that torrent is after moving...or on torrent that i allready moved via explorer something like right click/show new location...

sorry for my bed english, hope u understood...

+1 .. simply moving a single torrent is way too hard with the current release

(find torrent in large list of seeding torrents, stopping it, opening download location, navigating up a folder, cutting it, opening new explorer to destination, pasting it, waiting for move to finish, navigating to the new folder, copying the file path from the address bar (b/c uTorrent isn't using the correct select directory API flags in windows), pasting the path into the move to dialog box, hitting enter, starting the torrent again, and then closing the 2 explorer windows which wouldn't otherwise be needed if there was a simple move tool or if a re-check append the torrent's label was available)

should be: click move, navigate to folder, hit enter

or, right click, select "Re-check append the torrent's label"

I used this function in other torrent clients prior to switching to uTorrent as I also use organization for torrents I keep and continue hosting for a long time. Manually moving and restarting the torrent is a pita when you do a lot of torrenting.

It would be fantastic if this could be used on multiple torrents, to select a group of torrents on your uTorrent list and move them to a single folder.

+1 have needed this feature for ages, I have seen threads about this feature years ago and we still don't have it.

Ideally this would copy the TV/movie/music/whatever so that you could organize the download but continue to seed the original source.

I would likely add a portion to the existing Directories dialog. Have an option that says "Also copy completed download to" allowing for a root path and option to "Append the torrent's label"

This would allow users to have say R:\Media\TV, R:\Media\Movies, and use apps like MetaBrowser, Ember Media Manager, XBNE, etc to automatically update the media library keeping things organized. Meanwhile, uTorrent is happy to reseed the original source.

The other option would be a move using the same idea, however if I were uTorrent, I wouldn't rely on the fact that other media managers didn't modify the source data in a way that made the torrent unseedable.

It would provide a great increase in usability! ("simply moving a single torrent is way too hard with the current release"!!!)

+1, would love see this feature implemented

Also registered to +1 this. I moved my whole media dir to a new drive and uTorrent didn't know where they were. I had to edit the resume.dat with the bbencode editor.

definitely would make life easier.. it's easy to hit save without remembering that the location's been set to another folder, too.

Here's what I'd like:

1. Select one or more rows

2. Right click, click "Move Data..."

3. Select target drive + folder

4. µTorrents pauses seeding, moves the file(s) in the background, then restart seeding

This exists in 2.2. Set Download Location does this now.

Relocate on the Files tab too.

Would be nice if it hit skip hash too since its probably complete anyway since before the move.

Also is there any way to upgrade to 2.2 without having to pick the file beta-install down, and then enter all my 400 torrents again?

[Firon]

You won't lose your settings on upgrade.

I've developed an application that predetermines the destination folder and then launches uTorrent. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Your application will fail if the torrent is a movie compressed in a RAR archive. Torrent determination based on filetype is not 100% accurate.

In addition, I don't like the fact .torrent files need to be associated to your application instead of µT or another BT client. Yours is not a BT client.

Torrent determination based on filetype is not 100% accurate.

That's why the actual algorithm for determining the destination is based on an external script, so it can be easily modified.

Take for example "Predators.2010.720p.BluRay.x264-METiS.torrent". One can check if the name contains "720p", it could be a movie. One can also observe that there are 94 files names "metis-predators-720p" but with different extensions (all starting with r*), so one can assume it's a multi-part RAR archive. Given the fact that the all "metis-predators-720p.r*" files have a total of 4.3 GB... you could assume it's a movie.

I guess you see my point, my approach is to encourage users to come with solutions for various torrent types. For the moment, 90% of the cases are covered for me by using the simple script provided with the application.

In addition, I don't like the fact .torrent files need to be associated to your application instead of µT or another BT client. Yours is not a BT client.

That's true, but you don't really need to associate it with the .torrent extension, you could just make it monitor one specific folder and it will automatically load the torrents from there.

I checked that. it works. what would be more user friendly is a windows explorer like interface, with icons, and the ability to drag and drop.

even the thought of it thrills me.

in windows 7 the detailed view lets you filter files, i.e. with a few clicks you can find, e.g. ms word documents created in the last month and the name of which starts with a T. and this is not a search feature. it would be perfect for utorrent.

maybe it could be imlemented as an app. the actual location of the files of the torrents could be shown as if it was a property of the torrents, like file name, file size, modification date, creation date, size, etc.. The actual folder structure could be in a tree view, and multiple torrents could be selected and dragged and dropped to any folder of choice. in addition to the folder structure there could be a list of favourite folders, so one doesn't have to browse to one folder to another back and forth every time.

not bad, eh?
