I know you can rename the main folder of a torrent but you're not able not to create it.

Let's say I have a folder "D:\Torrents\The longest name that a folder can have"

If I want to download only the files of a torrent containing a main folder to that specific folder I have to rename the main folder as "The longest name that a folder can have" and download it in "Torrents" folder and pray I type it right.

Also the worst case scenario would be if you want to download only the files/sub-folders to the root directory (C:\ | D:\ | etc) you're just unable to do it withouth creating the torrent's main folder.
