Download folder location and relocating torrents bugs (uTorrent 1.5.0)

#1 When I set my downloads to store in the ~/Downloads folder, I frequently find that uTorrent will ignore this and store them in the ~/Library/Application Support/uTorrent folder instead.

#2 Because the torrents are already seeding by the time I discover this, I right click on the torrent within the uTorrent UI and choose Advanced --> Set Location of Downloaded Files (or something similar, don't have the UI in front of me for reference). This has the effect of moving the downloaded data but not the .torrent file itself.

#3 At least one time when I did #2 but selected all prior to invoking the move, I found that all the torrents I moved were saved within the folder of another downloaded torrent, and not the specific folder I actually chose for a destination. However, as an afterthought, I wonder if I may have selected the proper location for the first popup and then inadvertently assumed that it was the same location for each subsequent popup, not realizing that perhaps it was asking me to save the subsequent files from the stack objects within the subfolder I moved in the first. If this is the case, perhaps modifying the behavior to select the parent folder of the move instead of the subfolder of the previous move might be more intuitive.

I second your issues.

The default download location of <user>/Library/Application Support/uTorrent is not changed when trying to do so.

When I move where the files should be downloaded to, I expected uTorrent to move the files as well. Instead, it moved the first I chose which now produces a download error while the second I tried is not moved at all.

(Edit: typo..)

Update: actually, now, with many minutes passing, the files are in fact moved. Although the first file I moved does not download, the status says the files are missing.

However, issues #1 remains.
