Sometimes (too often) torrents are made with a folder that contains files.
It would be nice to be able to download only the file and not the folder.

Let's say i save all movies in D:\Movies and i have a category "Movies".
With automatic system i just select the category and the torrents saves the files in the correct path. But if the torrent have been made with a folder,inside D:\Movies i would have a folder and not directly the file. Every time i have to download these torrents i delete them from the client and i stop seeding because i can't have subfolders here and there in explorer.

This is not a must have featuer but it would be very nice to help poeple keep seeding torrents.
