Move torrent data file On Complete
My specific request is the ability to specify a destination for the data file after download is complete.
The default action would be nothing, and I could imagine having "favorite" locations where you could have the file moved after completion.

This already exist if i am not mistaken.
Check in system preferences under the groups section. In there you can set up groups and specify a place for those file belong to the group to go when done downloading.

I'm using Transmission 1.5.1 (7958) on OS X and don't see the groups option in the Preferences area. Can you provide a screenshot?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
Groups are only enabled on the nightlies = 1.60 pre-beta Transmission =)
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
and 1.60 is only for Mac OS X 10.5.0 or higher
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
I did not know that. I downloaded the latest nightly to build my menulet version of transmission and in there it reported it is 1.50+ if i remember correctly (not near my mac right now).
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
How do you make it work with the latest nightlies build (1.51+ (8045))?
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
I would like this feature also. I would be able to download files to my internal HD then transfer them to my external HD automatically. Instead of having them download to the external HD which makes transmission hang =(
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
This feature exists. You can check the "Keep incomplete files in" box and then select a folder. So when you start downloading the saves the torrent into that folder and then when it is complete it transfers it to your download destination.
Re: Move torrent data file On Complete
The problem I'm encoutering is when transmission doesn't wait till all files are complete. It appears to be moving each file in a torrent as it completes. This causes torrent expander to get triggered as soon as the first rar is passed resulting in an incomplete attempt to unpack. The torrent then goes dead because I'm using destructive mode.
PS I'm using destructive mode becuase my source never has leech. It's only a seed. This means I have to go in and manually nuke the archives.

This sounds more like a bug than a feature request.
