Pomoc 15.7-777 - first steps - how to pick folder per each torrent?

Bezan · 18 Październik 2025

Hi,
There is default folder as /share/Media. Inside I have more detailed split like: Movies. Cartoon, Series.
Is it possible to pick appropriate folder per each file I drag&drop to rTorrent?
If so, how can I do this?

SiewcaRyżu · 18 Październik 2025

either autowatch or autotools plugin or
look in rtorrent.rc for current watch folder and adapt config per your needs

why do you need to pick each time new folder for each torrent?

torrenting on NAS or any other server IS&MUST be different than on a PC
Podpowiedź - The difference between torrenting on a PC and NAS - Common issues, Best Practices
torrenting on NAS/server = full automation ---> just download and done
torrenting on PC === add download, where to download, create folder, monitor downloads... and other unneccessary steps

rtorrent is primary designed for those who understand the difference and wont waste a time

if you really need to create new folder each time, then add them manually

if faster you'll understand then difference, then faster you'll like the benefits (and i'm talking about all possibilites that gives you NAS)

It is not about creating new folder each time.
Just to categorize downloads into Movies / Cartoon / Series

Probably it is close to "labels" or automation but need to ready about this.
If it is just matter of putting .torrent file into appropriate watch folder or add label to this file (somehow) it is no problem.

Do you have any tutorial how to achieve this?

Then create labels you want and assigng them to torrents:

When downloads is complete it will move it to label directory ex.: /share/Rdownload/complete/FILM/

OK, and how to set this "FILM" label on desired file?

jerry1333 · 19 Październik 2025

Right click on it or select it when adding torrent.

Or just save .torrent into watch/film

Thanks

Just side question.

Why after each rTorrent startup it set default download folder ?

I adjust it to: /share/Media/
each time and each restart it is as above

Make share Rdownload and manually point it to your desired location.

Bezan · Wtorek o 20:31

What exactly do you mean? I have shared folder "rDownload" but do not want to use it as default one

SiewcaRyżu · Wtorek o 20:35

then you have problem as mentioned

Good luck and good night

Ty speak polish?
Bo ja don’t understand sth

/share/Media nie jest katalogiem nawet wpisanym w domyslne ustawienia Rtorrent, chyba ze cos mieszałeś

/share/Rdownload jest głównym operacyjnym katalogiem - tak jest i tak musi pozostać.

Dzięki temu upgrade, reinstalacja pozwala userom zachować sesje.

Bezan · Wtorek o 20:42

Ja polish tak

Czyli nie ma opcji by zmienić domyślny katalog, gdzie rTorrent ściąga pliki?
/share/Rdownload średnio mi pasuje
Wszystko mam już ustawione pod: /share/Media

Mogę ręcznie w "Inne" domyślny katalog pobierania" dać /share/Media ale to jest nadpisywane przy każdym restarcie

Jak tobie nie pasuje to Twój problem.
Możesz utworzyć Rdownload na woluminie w którym masz media i sobie symlinki pod linuxem zrobić
