metzeltiger Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hello,I think that if you disable the checkbox which says "Store .torrent files in" uTorrent really shouldn't save a copy of the .torrent files anywhere. At the moment it stores a copy of any torrent loaded in the uTorrent directory which I personally don't like.I've got my own seperate folder for storing all my torrents. When I download a .torrent from a website I save the .torrent in that folder and then double-click them to be loaded into uTorrent. If i say uTorrent to store the .torrent in that directory (so that it doesn't put a copy of the .torrent in the uTorrent folder) uTorrent notices that there already exists a torrent with the same name and creates a new .torrent with a ".1" added a t the end of the file name.I don't see the use in that since it's obviously that this is the same .torrent.So I think uTorrent should either really NOT store any .torrents anywhere when this option is deactivated or should at least not create a copy of one and the same torrent if it already exists in the specified folder.

chaosblade Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 uTorrent needs the copy in order to maintain the list between sessions. They are usualy deleted when you remove the task, so i dont think its much of a bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenan Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 are the .torrent files stored in Documents and Settings***Application DatauTorrentsupposed to be aumatically deleted when you remove the task? Its not happening for me.Even if i chose Remove + .torrent it doesnt delete it from there.I'd like the option for it to not store the torrent in the utorrent directory or to delete it automatically when i click the remove button.

ScubaSteve Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 it wont remove the torrent from that folder when you remove just the task. you have to right click and click remove + delete torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenan Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 yeah, its just bothersome to click remove + delete .torrent for every file, itd be easier if there was an option for a default action when clicking remove.i didnt know about this and when i checked the utorrent dir it was full of old torrent files :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethg Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 yeah, its just bothersome to click remove + delete .torrent for every file, itd be easier if there was an option for a default action when clicking remove.I think this is a reasonable idea. Have a checkbox in setup with the default behavior of the remove button being remove task + .torrent file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zodium Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I agree. In general, I think all possible behavior should be able to be set as the standard, unless for some mysterious reasons this will cause a significant increase in ressource usage.
