Taiga: Specify a folder for automatically downloaded .torrent files

Created on 20 Jun 2015 · 6Comments · Source: erengy/taiga

Currently it seems that all .torrents files get saved to "%appdata%/Taiga/data/feed/[random string]". Would it be possible to implement an option to save .torrent files to a different folder?

Is this still on the table for an upcoming release? I handle all of my torrents through a remote server, and being able to have Taiga automatically load up .torrents to the networked watch directory without a script would be a treat.

Could you explain your use case? Is it because you'd like to save the files to a folder monitored by another application? If so, is it not possible to make it monitor multiple folders?

That's exactly it, while monitoring multiple folders would be possible in that application, it uses those folders for the download location and tagging as well. So it's more of a limitation of that app itself, although I'm sure others could find some use for this option too, assuming it's not too hard to implement.

Another reason would be saving torrents to a networked directory, where it could be handled by an application running on the remote machine.

Although that could be handled by scripts, it'd definitely make things easier.

This feature would be great. I use a seedbox - having a folder somewhere a bit easier to find through the ruTorrent file browser would be nice...

I would like to add that this would be great to have... Right now I have to right click, view torrent info, copy a magnet or torrent link, log into a WebUI for my torrent client which is hosted on my server on the other end of the house, and paste it into there and wait.

I set it up this way as some torrents take too long to download and I don't like keeping my desktop on while I am asleep, thus setting a torrent client up on a server in another room is an easier option.

While yes I could technically point the torrent client to %appdata%/Roaming/Taiga/Data/Feed, that in it self becomes a security risk as I would have to share that directory.
