Defined downloads folder not working

[rooj]

Hi,

First time poster here. So greetings!

I am using 4.4.5 and cannot for the life me to get qBT to save downloads to the folder I have specified in settings. Everytime I download a .torrent file, it tries to download to my D:\Downloads folder, not my D:\Torrents folder. I have my default save path correctly set to D:\Torrents in the Tools | Options | Downloads | Default Save Path.

If I use magnetic download links, it always downloads to the correct location, so the issue is only happening with .torrent files.

Can anyone help me with this at all?

Thanks in advance!

Stuart.

Do you add .torrent files from a watched folder?

[rooj]

Yes I did. I have a watch folder in Drop Box so I can add to it from anywhere.

Select your watched folder in options and on the right click "Options..."

You are a genius! Thank you! I didn't even think to check there. I've been pulling my hair out over this for months now.
