When i manually choose to which folder download torrent sometimes i need to not create subfolder and download files exactly to folder i choose.
I suggest to add a checkmark "Create subfolder" and if this checkmark is deselected do not create subfolder.

PR from 2015 and still not realised...
This feature is much needed besause after transition from uTorrent i need to periodically redownload some updated torrents and i can't select folder to rehash because qTorrent do not allows me to use already created folders.

After moving from uTorrent I was disappointed to find out that this feature was missing.
A semi workaround for me is:
Say your music folder is D:\Music. The torrent you downloaded has main folder and many subfolders. You can set D:\ as the destination folder, and rename the torrent's main folder to Music. This way the torrent's main folder isn't created.

@B0rnSlippy Thanks for "solution" =) It's good enough for not very frequently updated torrents!

Yes this would be very useful but it seems that they stopped trying to develope this feature.
The "solution" is not so good because it works only in manual mode.

I'm having the exact same issue like IronMan described on forum.

Workaround in this particular case is to go one folder up in hierarchy and rename _ to needed season.
