![]() ![]() "Relocate this torrents data"/"Set data location" and "Add a torrent for seeding" should be top-level gui commands. What I'm saying is that failing to provide with a clear solution for an important use case is simply bad interface design. The reason for that, is because the functionality for doing that is not advertized, not readily apparent. It was a mystery to me how I could keep sharing those files. With bittorrent, I downloaded a few torrents, moved the files to the place of my preference, and that was that. ![]() There is uncertainty here and a cloud of mystery surrounds the 'sharing' aspect of torrent applications. ![]() The latter option is not meant for adding torrents that have already been downloaded, so either the user will give up and stop seeding, or try it and discover that it actually works. A new user will start looking for a way to relocate a torrent's data, but will only find "remove torrent" and "add torrent (no default save)". Apart from being not the quickest solution, it has three drawbacks.ġ) it will cause the torrent to rehash unless you check "skip hash check" (but who knows whether the hashing is needed?)Ģ) it will erase the download/upload figures for this torrent, and hence reset the ratioģ) this functionality is not apparent. The way it is now, I have to delete a torrent, move the files, and add the torrent again using the new directory. However, I cannot find this option anywhere (1.7.2). The request was for an integrated way to move a torrent's data to a new location.įiron replied that one can move the directory manually, and then use the "Set download location" option to redirect a loaded torrent to this new location. This topic is quite old but it is still relevant, perhaps even more so now. ![]()
