Copy files after torrent downloaded - not the same as move files!! #19139

Suggestion

Dear Support Team, I have a simple network flash drive without torrent function, so I download everything with PC and copy movies/music to my network storage. I don't leech/seed from there, download/upload processes are still running on my PC. I access my network flash drive via smb.

I think a copy feature would be awesome.

Use case

So before start a torrent download, a checkbox should be there. I edited a simple image about my idea. The copy process could be running in sequence, or the copy mode could be set to sequence or paralell too. It's important, because my copy bandwidth is limited.

And maybe the copy process could be visible.

I think this could be a good feature.

Could you do this by running an external program on completion? https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/External-programs:-How-to

A common thing to use that for is to run a copy command to move completed torrents to a network drive. I'm guessing it's common enough though that a setting in the GUI would be useful, especially for less technical users.
