Hi, I found an issue. When I download a file and I go to see "Contents", if I deselect a file that would be downloaded(for the case of a movie, there's the movie and a few .srt files), once the download is finished, if I look at directory where the file was downloaded, it shows me the files that I didn't want to download.
In a few words, Qbittorrent downloads files that I deselected in "Contents".
I find Qbittorrent a fantastic software, in fact I find it the best, but please...try to fix this issue.
Thank you. Whitehatckerch

In the future qbt will hide those files.

Duplicate of #2659

Version 4.0.x is released. It uses libtorrent 1.1.x which puts the unwanted part files in the hidden file
".<torrent_hash>.parts" which is put in the same folder as the root folder(if any) of the torrent.
For the moment it's not possible to put that file somewhere else.
