https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5230 "Thanks for the suggestion, but Transmission's not going to get into the task of changing a torrent's file hierarchies" --jordan ** Bug watch added: Transmission Trac #5230 http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5230 ** Also affects: transmission via http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5230 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061429 Title: Enhancement: allow extration of single files from folder Status in Transmission: Unknown Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Some torrents represent folders containing files (e.g. Fedora or openSUSE installation ISOs). Usually I only want a single file or two from this folder when I download such a torrent, and would rather than Transmission dropped those files straight into the download area, rather than re-creating the folder and putting the files in there. (E.g. downloading the file openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso from the torrent openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso.torrent still creates the directory openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso and places the file in there.) This request should probably go upstream unless it was fixed there very recently.
