    • RE: Qbittorrent is now better than Utorrent

      @bi4smooth Thanks for taking the time to make a response, unfortunately the "Set Location" in qBitorrent is not what relocate in uTorrent is. uT allows relocating and renaming the individual files, within a torrent, not moving the whole torrent.

      To use Relocate in uT, one right-clicks on the individual files (you can do one file, or multiple), choose Relocate, and then you can move it to any drive, and rename it to whatever you want. After that's done, the local uT database maintains the new location of the file(s) as a layer of abstraction, and the torrent remains unchanged. So I can move and rename a file within a torrent to my own preferences, instead of the original torrent creator's, and still continue seeding. Which is why I still have torrents seeding that are 10+ years old, and when you've made extensive use of the feature, you kinda get stuck because unravelling it all would take hundreds of hours.

      If you're interested in more details, the abovementioned GitHub issue explains it detail, as well as the various workarounds, and explains why the issue is still open after eight years. To the best of my knowledge, no other client at present has this capability.

    • RE: Qbittorrent is now better than Utorrent

      Glad to hear that the client is improving. What has always stopped me from using qBitorrent is the lack of the relocate feature that uTorrent has. I have moved and renamed the majority of most seeded torrents, and there isn't enough value in trying to workaround that when uT still works.

      If you don't know what I'm talking about, this has been discussed on GitHub for 8+ years. Hopefully one day the feature gets picked up by someone 😊 .
