download folders
well as u know we can specify where to download torrents
what would be cool if we could do this
example... i normally download to C:\downloads
but i wouldnt mind seeing this
label - videos / location is c:\downloads\videos
ie making a label would make a folder instead
or if i have an external hd
make a label called external then it would be instead of c:\downloads
it would download to my external hd
for example d:\
doesnt have to be labels..
could be groups or something
i would love to see this feature so i could then instantly download to my external
rather than downloading torrent... then moving it to external
This is in the 3.3 alpha already. Check it out. :)
It’s done with labels. Look at the preferences!

This feature is either extremely Unobvious, or it was pulled from 3.3. What happened? Whats the plan?

Dunno if this makes any difference commenting after this is completed, but a feature related directly to this:
Moving completed stuff to their labeled folders AFTER completion if you forgot to label them. Right now it's not possible and it's really irritating to an AD/HC person like myself that does other stuff a microsecond after clicking download on a torrent. -

This great, but the web client needs to allow a label to be specified when adding a torrent.

Oh so I sh!t brix when I saw this email... then I got really sad when I realized I wouldn't be receiving these upgrades because everything since 2.2.1 (build 25302) is absolutely terrible :(

If this *were* to be implemented, better exploit symlinks; I don't want duplicate files.

The "Append Label" option is not good enough for me, I use a hierarchical folder structure. This means it's not enough for me to move a torrent to a directory designated by its primary label, I need to sort it further down the ladder into a subfolder.
Example:
X:\ - The default download location
X:\Music - Where "Append Label" would sort my torrents to
X:\Music\<Artist> - Where I want to sort themI'd like to see a similarly structurable tag system, and the ability to sort torrents into directories based on the tag tree.

I downloaded direct to an external that was partitioned for 2 computers (Which naturally had subfolders for each category and a sort folder.) But recently it started acting up. All the activity fry the poor lil guy. 430 G of music movies programs dead on arrival. I was wondering if there was any external that would be resistant to this. Terabyte of space is preferable but not a must!

I would love to have something linking the label to a predefined location, I download things in different folders based on what they are and usually this is tied to the label I add to them. Having to search through the incredible mess that the download location history field is each time is just useless and annoying...

I save my torrents to another system on my network for download. It would be great if utorrent would auto label my torrents if I saved them in a sub-folder in the auto load folder.
I.E.
firstfile.torrent -> c:\torrents -> Don't set label
secondfile.torrent -> c:\torrents\music -> Set label to "music"
thirdfile.torrent -> c:\torrents\movies -> Set label to "movies"
fourthfile.torrent -> c:\torrents\games -> Set label to "games" -

+1 it works for new torrents now as long (as you can label it quick enough)
can we expand this to handle already downloaded files as well. -

You can move completed torrents using the "append torrent label" option. However I find if you add a label to a completed torrent it doesn't move, this should be fixed in so it'll move them automatically.

based on label *and/or* tracker!!!

Maybe the new save path can be set when the first label is selected. So when "C:\Download" is the default, and a new torrent is asking for labels, and I choose "Music" the save path would change to "C:\Download\Music" and then other tags would be added as wanted.

This is a feature that should have existed in uTorrent since version 1..It's a lot of hassle to always browse to directory u want to store your downloaded torrent to. Downloadingh everything to one dir creates a mess after just one week (at least for me)

this would be awesome!
even if you could just move whole labels at a time rather than having to go through each one individually.
(ie, right-click label A then click 'set download location..' to have it automatically move ALL the torrents under label A to the specified directory, rather than having to assign the folder for each torrent [which can get frustrating very quickly].)it would be great to have a default directory for each label, rather than a subdirectory with the label's name, with unlabelled torrents or torrents belonging to an unspecified label going to the default directory.
ie,
all torrents under label "Music" go to "F:\Music"
all torrents under label "Videos" go to "D:\Videos"
.. everything else goes to default directory "J:\Downloads" -

Under 'Directories' in the 'Preferences' menu, you can set your subdirectory if you tag the box labeled 'Append the torrent's label'. You still have to assign a label. Which makes it up to you how you want to set up the subdirectories by setting up your own labels. By Content, Tracker or something else.

Yep totally agree... stumbled on this one to!
You should be able to create categories and specify a folder, a name and maybe a color to it. This categorizes your torrents and uTorrent puts them in the right folder.

+1 definitely.
On external 'A', I have [anime from one tracker], [music from second tracker] and [anime from all other trackers]
External 'B' houses [music from all other trackers], and becomes the storage for [games] after they're removed as torrents(with the possibility of being added again later).
Internal drive has random applications and games downloaded to desktop before being flung to different C: folders.If I could have a setting where a label downloads to a specific folder, this would save the mind-numbing task of sorting through 90 relocations at a time.
