Originally created by @r0ckarong on GitHub (Feb 26, 2014).

I add a torrent to the client. In the download dialog I select "Create Folder" from the location menu and create a new folder. The created folder is then shown as the download location in the dropdown menu. When the torrent starts downloading though, the files are actually stored in /tmp/. This means when I close a finished download my files will not be in the location that I expect them to be. This could mean loss of data if the system is rebooted in between.

I am guessing that you are on linux and using a libtorrent version < 0.16.13.
See #994 for details.
