Description: Hi, when i download a torrent, can i choose download folder location? or move after it download a torrent?

tympanix commented 4 years ago

Torrents will download in the default directory. That means, there are no advanced options when adding a torrent. If this is a feature in qBittorrent Web UI, then Electorrent would also be able to implement that feature.

fferraro87 commented 4 years ago

Yes that's a feature that is already present in qBittorrent Web UI but it isn't supported on electorrent right now

fferraro87 commented 4 years ago

i see on torrentq.js data.save_path and that's maybe folder location right? @tympanix

tympanix commented 4 years ago

Yes and no. That is the save location, yes, but it is information coming from the api and not something you can chose or edit. If you wish to have a look at the implementation have a look at https://github.com/tympanix/node-qbittorrent

reconman commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-(qBittorrent-4.1)#add-new-torrent specifies that the parameter savepath can be used.

Now it should be possible to specify the location.

I would really love to have the torrent dialog implemented in Electorrent! Currently I can't choose what parts of the torrents I want unless I use QB's web interface.

Any updates on the subject matter?

tympanix commented 3 years ago

No progress yet. I would want this implementation to be somewhat generic, so that other clients could benefit from this.

I have a few hours a week (if at all) to work on features. At the same time the Electorrent code is getting older by the day and needs tidying up.

I would love to help! What should I learn so I can succeed in making this work? (I'm a game dev, specifically Tech Artist and programmer in C#)

I want to bring the whole torrent open dialog to the program (choosing what files, category, tags, target ratio and location)

tympanix commented 3 years ago

The technologies used are Javascript, HTML, CSS/Less, AngularJS, NodeJS and the Electron framework. PRs are appreciated. The hardest part about this implementation is that it should be rather generic so that every client could take advantage of the functionality, not just qBittorrent.

swannie-eire commented 3 years ago

I would like this feature also for Qbittorrent

dansauve commented 3 years ago

I would like the feature also for Transmission. Thanks

reconman commented 3 years ago

@dansauve I would recommend using https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui, since it's made for Transmission and works great.

Thanks for the reco. I've been using that one for years but I get weird hangs in it all the time when adding torrents... the UI just locks up for 30-120 seconds and usually comes back, but it's annoying. I always thought it was just the client (Transgui) itself but wonder then if it has to do with my server? Transmission runs fine but it's an old Synology DS212+ so it's slow hardware and usually have ~200 torrents going in seeding... Anyway, I thought it was Transgui and that's why I've been looking for an alternative (not to mention Electorrent has a nicer, newer looking GUI ;)
