Suggestion

v4.4.5 + v.4.5 beta Win10 64
At present there's no feature to relocate separate files within one torrent. This feature was realized in uTorrent 1.8.2 yet in 2009 however.
It does not move files already downloaded; it only changes the download path or locates files that are missing.

Use case

In current realization it's impossible to change file structure within a torrent.
It may be useful in case user would like to change file structure, to distribute files to several folders or to rename folders.
A perfect usefulness example is music torrents. Different musical torrents creators sometimes use there own rules of folders naming. Without implementing this kind of feature it is impossible to change folder names without changing contents and to keep on seeding.
