If you try to download a single-file torrent with magnet link with embedded name, e.g.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5ZKUZWEBW24Z4DWJGZWHE2CLKTV4JXEU&dn=20140207%20Sochi%20otkrytiye%20igr.ts
It would always be downloaded to /tmp/magnet_id/file_name
But if you remove file name from the magnet, e.g.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5ZKUZWEBW24Z4DWJGZWHE2CLKTV4JXEU
everything works as it should. You can download the file wherever you want.

Steps to reproduce:

File → add link to torrent
Paste magnet with embedded name (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5ZKUZWEBW24Z4DWJGZWHE2CLKTV4JXEU&dn=20140207%20Sochi%20otkrytiye%20igr.ts)
Select download directory (/home)
Press OK.

Expected result:
Torrent file downloads to /home

Actual result:
Torrent file downloads to /tmp/ee554cd881b6b99e0ec9366c72684b54ebc4dc94
