Originally created by @altosch on GitHub (Jan 17, 2014).

Since upgrade to 3.1.4 downloads are stored in wrong location. I have set "Save files to location: /home/myname/Torrent" + "Append the label of the torrent to the save path" but downloaded files actually are in /tmp/some-bunch-of-random-numbers-and-chars.

So I have to right-click -> select "Set location..." and find the right place by hand.

I'm currently using qBittorrent v3.1.4 on Ubuntu 13.10. Downloaded from hydr0g3n/qbittorent-stable PPA.

My guess is that you use magnets + libtorrent < 0.16.13. So this is a duplicate of: #994

Yes apparently it's the same problem. My libtorent is 0.16.11.0 and I use nothing but magnet links.

Alternatively, you can use this ppa which provides libtorrent too: https://launchpad.net/~surfernsk/+archive/internet-software

Be sure to purge the our ppa+installed qbittorrent
