Qbittorent 3.3.4
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

In qbt preferences, I have specified download locations for 'Save files to' and Keep incomplete files' and these settings work fine for files downloaded via .torrent files. However, when downloading files from .magnet links, the settings are ignored and the files are downloaded to /temp, where they stay until manually moved.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't always the case...

I think this is already solved in the long overdue v3.3.5. I'll try very hard to release this weekend. If problem persists, please report the problem again. Thank you.
