Set location, works at half

[Jorman]

Hi, I just compiled qb 4.1.3 for debian stretch (9.5) with libtorrent 1.1.9
Then I manually added this configuration piece

[BitTorrent]
Session\DisableAutoTMMTriggers\CategorySavePathChanged=false
Session\DisableAutoTMMByDefault=false
Session\DisableAutoTMMTriggers\CategoryChanged=false
Session\DisableAutoTMMTriggers\DefaultSavePathChanged=true

Now, I've to download one very big torrent, 2,247Tb and I need to download it directly to an external hd, but I can't make it works.
Pre-allocate disk space for all files is always disabled for all this test
/data/Download -> default download location
/data/Download/temporary -> default temporary location, because Keep incomplete torrents is set
/data/External-USB -> the external path where I want to put the new download
So I tried:

1. Normal download to default path and when downloading, right click on torrent and set the new location -> don't works, the path on the ui are updated but the file was not
2. During the add of the torrent I directly select the external path -> don't works

I tried with and without Append .!qB extension to incomplete files option

Maybe I misunderstood this feature, I apologize if is the case

Anyone can help me to make this possible, I only want to download directly to the External path

Have a good day, Jo

/data/Download/temporary -> default temporary location, because Keep incomplete torrents is set

The files will stay there until the torrent is completed.

Hi
If I disable the Keep incomplete torrents in function?
That will prevent this or there's nothing to do?

[thalieht]

Yes it should.

[Jorman]

I'll try thanks.

Ok tried so, with:
Keep incomplete torrents in -> off
Pre-allocate disk space for all files -> off
Append .!qB extension to incomplete files -> off

If when I add a torrent I change the default location, when I start the download, the file go to the default location, then if I set the new location, the file will be moved!
If when I add a torrent and I said to not start the torrent and I leave the default location, I see the torrent paused and if I set the new location before starting the torrent when the torrent start will be downloaded directly to the new location.

This is what I found, I don't know if is normal, in my mind if I move the download location, even if there's a temporary folder, the file must be moved even if the download is not finished.

When you set torrent location you just set its target location. It doesn't affect data from temporary folder.
