ermi Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Latest stable uTorrent. (3.1.0.26671)I decided to do a clean "install" with a blank settings.dat in the same folder for portability.Now, when I download a torrent (or a magnet) I never get asked for download location. Instead, files get saved to the default C:\User...\Downloads.I skimmed through the settings and couldn't find an option to change this. Am I missing something obvious or is there no such setting?

ermi Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 There's this setting "Show a window that displays the files...", but it does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ermi Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yes, that was it. Thanks.But I must say this is not intuitive at all. A setting in the preferences should handle this functionality. Specifically, a setting under "Directories", with a checkbox like "Always ask for location of downloaded files" or something like that. And it should work regardless of the "Toggle Torrent View" setting.Just my 0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyril Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hey folks. I have the same problem as Ermi. All of a sudden i cant choose where to put my downloads. What is that "Toggle Torrent View"? Ive found a button to the top right corner that sais that, but that only changes the view of the list, nothing more.. It still autostarts the download to "C:\Users\Desktop\Downloads\" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermi Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think you need to have two things enabled to make it work:1. the classic "Torrent View"and2. "Show a window that displays the files..." in the "UI Settings" in the preferences.So yeah, it's a bit clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
