The problem seem to be present on more platforms as well?

Description: 1) Set option to download torrent to a sub folder depending on "label"

1. Application window: qBittorrent 3.1.8
2. Menu: Tools->Options...
3. Object: Container
4. Select: Downloads
5. Grouping area: Hard Disk
6. Grouning area: Save files to location:
7. Mark checkbox: Append the label of the torrent to the save path
8. Button:[ OK ]

2) Add a label

2. Tab: Transfers
3. Heading: Labels
4. Mouse: Right click (on free area)
5. Popup Menu Select: Add label...
6. Window: New label
7. Field: Label:
8. Keyboard: MySubFolder

3) Add a torrent and set the label

1. Add a torrent
2. Mark torrent in list
3. Mouse. Right Click
4. Popup Menu Select: Label > MySubFolder
5. Note! Adding a label here doesn't work

4) The download will begin and the files will be placed in a sub-folder with the same name as the selected label.

1. Open the folder to check where it save the files²

5) Shut down qBitTorrent and restart it again.

1. Menu: File->Exit

1. Select the same torrent in the list again
2. Bottom area
3. Grouping area: Information
4. Label: Save path:
5. Note the path
6. Double check where it actually save the data now¹!

Q1: Why doesn't it continue in the sub-folder even though all messages inside qBittorrent state that it download to the sub-folder?

You now have two sets of the same file Q2: Which one has been downloaded?

This might all be a followup of ticket #79. Lets see when #79 is fixed.

[Silvan Scherrer]

please redownload latest qbit 3.1.9. It should fix #79. and eventually also this problem. I didn't try it so far.

I can confirm that this has been resolved with the re-release of qBittorrent 3.1.9

1. The startup time has been reduced to 0 as it instantly resume the download form where it left of.
2. All files remain in their sub folders.
3. Have tested variations to the description above and it behave as desired.
