Version: 3.2.3 (using KDE 4.3.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages We can modify directories and files names before downloading. But how to rename files after/during downloading? We can move it to another folder but cannot modify. The good if we can rename files from "Files" tab in Info window. By double clicking with pause (first click, pause some time, second click), or from context menu (add entry "Rename" to the list ..."Dont load", "Delete file(s)", insert_here, "Move file"...), and maybe rename by click F2 key (if file is selected).

It would be very useful to have these feature, because right now, it has to be done in the torrent opening dialog, before downloading. I think if the feature to move the data to another folder exists, then why not an option to also rename the files? It is useful to continue seeding the file, and at the same time, to have it ordered in the hard drive. As a workaround it can be done manually with some care: Quit KTorrent rename/move the files, edit ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/torXX/file_map Sart KTorrent where XX is the number that correspond to the torrent you want to edit. You can find it with: grep related_words_from_the_torrent_name ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor*/stats Source: http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3171
Author (Joris Guisson) said to me that the problem is to rename files without stop seeding. Now it's possible to do this by steps: 1. Stop seeding torrent 2. Rename/move (are the same actions) files 3. Start seeding torrent I think, it will be good to implement in that case and maybe after will improve to do those actions without stopping torrent. What do you think Joris?
