Magnet links and download folders

[Artess]

Right now, if you download a torrent via a magnet link, it automatically creates a folder with the torrent name with the files inside. So if you download ten torrents with one file in each, you get ten different folders. I think it would be great to have the option to disable this, so that when you download ten such torrents you just get each file exactly in the folder you specified, not in a new folder within a folder. Such folder-ception just complicates things sometimes. And by sometimes I mean all the time.

Does it actually make a folder if the torrent is only a single file?

[Artess]

Umm... okay, I must say I don't really know, because right now it's almost impossible to find a torrent that doesn't have useless txt or nfo file included... and thanks to the great and mighty Magnet Links, you can't really see it until you've actually downloaded one. So apologies if I mislead you there. The point still stands: when you use a *.torrent file it saves the files in the exact folder you specified, but when you use a magnet link it creates an extra folder. Unless, yes, there is a single file. Now that I was able to check, it doesn't create a folder when there is only one file. But as I said, you can rarely find a torrent with only one file in it. And even then you can't name it as you like. Magnet links suck. But this is off-topic, sorry.

if torrent files r going away then magnet links suck and i should go back to ordinary files and download them on Rapidshare maybe...

pity... this was a good technology.

Well, it's still better than rapidshare, unless you pay for a premium account, and even then I'm not sure which is better. Just inconvenient. And I assume the problem is not with the links themselves, but with how utorrent handles them.
