As a messy short-term workaround, I've been able to change the save-to
location by picking 'other' from the drop-down box in preferences,
selecting the desired folder (e.g. Downloads), and editing the
'Location' string to make sure there's no suffix at the end (e.g.
'Downloads', not 'Downloads/xxx'). Then pressing ok.

For me, if the string isn't edited manually it auto-completes to the
nested folder, so even if the Downloads folder is clicked on, the
location string becomes 'Downloads/xxx' where x is the destination
folder of the previously added torrent.

Hope that makes sense. The same steps also work for moving an individual
torrent through the right-click->'set location' dialog.
