Bug Description

The option to have a copy of the .torrent file in a directory. This is useful if you want to find an old torrent and also handy if you use multiple BT clients across different OSes. This is a nice compliment to the feature of starting .torrent files automatically.

I'm really missing this feature. I hope it will be implemented in next release, so I can switch to qBittorrent.

With what name should the torrent file be saved?

Is this OK if I use <info_hash>.torrent instead of the original name in order to avoid having files with the same name?

I think it's better to use <name>.<info_hash>.torrent or even <name>.torrent only, and ask user if there are conflicts.

It might just be me but this doesn't seem to be working, I have 86 torrents but only 55 .torrent files :S
