Bug Description
After starting a torrent that contains a folder, any subsequently started torrent downloads are saved within this folder.
(Edit -> Preferences -> Downloading -> Location -> 'Save to location' is also updated to this new folder)
This leads to infinitely nested downloads.
Eg:
└── Download1
├── Download1.avi
├── sample.avi
├── Download2
│ ├── Download3
│ │ ├── Download3.avi
│ │ ├── Download3.jpg
│ │ └── Download3.txt
│ ├── Download2.mp4
│ ├── Download2.jpg
│ └── Download2.txt
└── Download1.txt

Andrew, thanks for reporting this problem.
This sounds a little like https:/ /trac.transmiss ionbt.com/ ticket/ 5246#comment: 9, which was fixed in 2.77. Could you try upgrading from https:/ /launchpad. net/~transmissi onbt/+archive/ ppa/ and see if this resolves the problem?
