rockrabbit Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've searched the forums and see this is a common issue that utorrent is not downloading to the correct folder, but instead to ~/Library/Application Support/uTorrent.This is highly annoying and I've yet to see a solution to this problem.I've run both 1.0.X and am now running 1.5.4 hoping it would solve the issue, but alas no!So please, if anybody has found a solution to get utorrent to download to my specified folder location instead of the users folder, please please please share how to do it!Many thanks!

kaws Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Open up the beta and look at the settings. The beta has access to settings including where it downloads to and where it will move it to when it finishes downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvo64 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I seem to have a similar, if not the same issue. I upgraded today from 1.0.3 for Mac to 1.5.9 Beta. I then went to the preferences> Directories. 'Put new downloads in' was already set to 'bittorrent', my default folder for all BT downloads. I checked 'Move completed downloads to:' and also set that to 'bittorrent' (the same folder' but checked 'Append the torrent's label' and then went through and set appropriate labels for all of my torrents. I assumed this would move files from the default 'bittorrent' file to 'bittorrent/label name.' However, when I checked a few completed torrents a couple hours later, they had been moved to '/Users/myusername/Library/Application/uTorrent/label name.' I've since created a new folder at 'bittorrent/finished' and set 'Move completed downloads to:' to that folder to see if that changes the behavior. I left the 'Append the torrent's label' option on. Will update when another torrent completes.Also, using OS X 10.5.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvo64 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Ok, the torrent that just finished moved itself to '~/Downloads/bittorrent/finished/label name' like it was supposed to.This should be the desired behavior, one would think. However, what I was hoping was that I could have torrents start in '~Downloads/bittorrent' and then have completed files moved to '~/Downloads/bittorrent/label name.' For my purposes, that's the desired behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
