Download overwrites files on same folder #176

When downloading torrent files that uses the same folder as output, the files are overwritten by the other torrent download.

For example, if I am downloading episodes 1 and 2 on separate torrent files and they both happend to store on the same folder, episodes 1 and 2 will overwrite each other even though the file names are different.

If a torrent is a multifile torrent, it uses the "name" of the torrent as the folder in which it stores all files.

i could see where two separate torrents share the same "name". But that would be really unusual.

The torrent is not a multifile torrent though. It contains a single file inside a specific folder. Unfortunately, other related torrent files will share this folder name. For example if I download Naruto.S01E01 and Naruto.S01E02 with a pre-programmed 'Naruto' folder, both will go to the 'Naruto' folder but will overwrite each other even though the file filenames are different. Inside the 'Naruto' folder, I will get Naruto.S01E01.mkv and Naruto.S01E02.mkv but with the data of Naruto.S01E02.mkv on both files.

I've tried it with more than 2 files and it happens every time.

try renaming the folder it is downloaded to. as in one per episode.
