I'm not sure if we have the same definition of a "completed" torrent, and we should decide on that first. Does a torrent with only a few files selected (but each of these few files fully completed) count as "complete", or does it have to have all files selected and complete to count as "complete"?

This is a really good question (although not related to this topic, but rather to the current "incomplete folder" implementation) that worths a separate Issue. Do you mind creating it?
IMO, if "atomic unit" is torrent then only fully downloaded torrent should be considered as "complete".

This has implications on how moves should be handled for completed torrents, depending on whether or not any file was unselected for download, among possibly other things.

Do you mind creating it? IMO, if "atomic unit" is torrent then only **fully** downloaded torrent should be considered as "complete". This has implications on how moves should be handled for completed torrents, depending on whether or not any file was unselected for download, among possibly other things.
