Introducing different handling to metadata files. #1079

Open kz6wk9 opened 3 years ago

kz6wk9 commented 3 years ago

Introducing a parameter to set the directory to store the metadata files generated by rtorrent when a magnet link is passed. Until now the metadata files are treated exactly like any other download (in the users perspective), these changes aim to set the default to store the metadata files inside the '.session' directory and, as the user wishes, the location can be changed either using the 'metadir' command inside the ncurses interface or in the configuration file, or by passing the '-m' flag as a parameter to the command line.
