utman Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 When I start a new download I choose to put it in my external hd but while downloading (and sometimes after) I find it on my computer. I don't have nearly as much space there and I don't want it to live there ever. I "fix" it by changing the download directory once it started but sometimes I forget and I always have to wait for the move...I want downloads to download while incomplete wherever I set them to go when they are done. Unless I just never noticed, this was the default on windows...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Set the appropriate locations in Preferences -> Directories, if any value is empty uTorrent will use the default download location for your OS/User profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utman Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Set the appropriate locations in Preferences -> Directories, if any value is empty uTorrent will use the default download location for your OS/User profileBut I don't want it to always use the same directory to download to then move it when it's done. I want it use the same directory for downloading that I tell it to use when it completes, and that would be the directory I give it when the torrent starts. This seems to be the default on windows, unless I just never noticed but I find that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not being a Mac user I don't know what exact options are on the directories settings, but for the Windows client if you uncheck "[ ] Move completed ...." the will stay in the download location.
