majestrate commented 6 years ago

would the files stay in the download directory or no?

smlrrlms commented 6 years ago

no, not enough space. "ln -s" or dynamic folder select for every torrent... Also files are in different folders on another physical drive...

majestrate commented 6 years ago

Right now it's a copy then delete, Would it help if I made it a move instead? That would cause problems for directories on different filesystems however.

Can do symlinks just fine just thinking if that's the right thing or not.

move or symlink are both nice. copy delete sucks (os will do that anyway, if its a different mount)

majestrate commented 6 years ago

alright, i'll have it do a move instead.

majestrate commented 6 years ago

looks like the current code does a move not a copy delete, forget when i added that. still want a symlink option?
