qBittorrent's Advanced Saving Management explained
Today's update to qBittorrent 3.3.5 introduced a feature called Torrent Management Mode to the Bittorrent client to improve torrent organization.
The program offers two options when it comes to the saving of torrents which it calls Simple Saving Management and Advanced Saving Management.
Simply Saving Management or manual mode associates the file path with the torrent in qBittorrent and that is it.
Advanced Saving Management on the other hand uses the file path and a category path if a category is associated with a torrent.
What this means is that you may use categories in the application to categorize torrents on the hard drive.
Advanced Saving Management
If you associate a video torrent with the video category, it is automatically added to the video subdirectory associated with that category once downloaded.
So, instead of ending up with a large list of files in a single root directory, you may use the feature to sort files automatically based on categories.
The default mode is set to manual which means that qBittorrent won't use category names to sort torrents.
To change that, it is necessary to make adjustments in the application's preferences:
- Launch qBittorrent and make sure at least version 3.3.5 is installed. You can verify the version with a click on Help > About. A click on Help > Check for updates runs a manual check for updates which can also be useful in this regard.
- Select Tools > Options, or use Alt-O, to open the preferences.
- Switch to Downloads when the options window opens.
- Set the "default torrent management mode" to automatic.
You find additional options underneath which you may want to consider changing as well. When Torrent Category changes, When Default Save Path changed, and When category changed can be set to relocate affected torrents, or to switch that torrent to manual mode instead.
If you want to use the new saving management feature, set each preference to relocate torrent as it will adjust the torrent automatically on the hard drive when you make changes to it.
Setting categories
You set categories by right-clicking on a torrent or a selection of torrents, selecting Category from the menu that opens, and either picking one of the existing categories, or selecting the new option to create a new one.
If you have made the adjustments in the previous step, the files of the selected torrents will be moved to the category directory automatically.
Additionally, you may set a category if a prompt is displayed whenever you add a new torrent to qBittorrent. You can use it to pick an existing category or create a new one for the torrent, and the target directory reflects that change automatically.
Now You: What's your take on the new option?
Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
