I am a previous user of utorrent and one feature I have noticed that I cannot find is mark files with different extension until downloaded. Like utorrent would mark with .!ut or something like that until the file was completed, then it would set the correct extension. I love that feature but cannot seem to locate it, I download many files and sometimes I end up checking for them remotely and seeing the.!ut in the directory would let me know it was not ready. Am I missing the feature somewhere or is it not built in?

Like what I see in Tixati so far!

Thanks all,
Later

instead of using crappy file extensions for incomplete files, Tixati uses 'move on complete'. just set a folder to move complete torrents to and then you know if it's in there it's done.

Tixati uses 'move on complete'...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not good solution for at least two reasons:
1. If you download a big file, for example HD movie with size 30...40 GB. After finish there is appreciable load on hard drive when moving file.
2. 'Move on complete' requieres permanent control of temp folder content, because old tasks are not deleted often.

As a result "mark with an extension" is much more convenient.

Ok, cool thanks for the answer, will set that option.

This function was requested by many users before and I hope it will be added eventually.

+1 for this too.

Depending on where one is moving, a move can be a simple change in the folder information and can be instantaneous as no data is physically moved.

I recently downloaded a 6 gb .torrent to S:\ drive but it also put 6 gb on my C:\ any body have an idea where that other file may be? I have looked in Program Data, Users, Program Files(86), Program Files and Windows with no luck.

I also went to Control Panel>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden Files in hopes it would reveal the file but still coming up dry.

Well it could be the temporary files Tixati stores on your computer while downloading the files, but they shouldn't be using that much room.  Check your Incomplete Piece Storage Location, found in settings under Transfers->Local Files.  Other than that, I'm not sure what Tixati could have done to add anything to your C drive.

try searching the C:\ drive by filename
since it appears to be a complete 6gb set of files you should get a match and location that way

I'm not sure of this forum’s etiquette.  Should I be starting a new thread to second this idea?

When you set a folder to move on completion, it doesn’t move it until all files are downloaded.  If just the extension changes, you can see which files are done as they finish.  Allowing scripts and automation to occur.

As an example, when downloading a series of videos, I can have my computer exclude .ti! (or whatever) files when it sync’s to the Hard Drive attached to my TV.  With the first video of the series set to high priority, I could start watching it before the rest are done downloading.

Hopefully this is something you consider implementing.

Please and thank you.
