  • True of course. If you look at my comment though, I haven’t said that speed is the point of the command line. Just that Linux users are obsessed with it. For most users most of the time, the repetition/automation is not the point and ability to write scripts is not the most important thing. And you can combine tools with GUIs as well, it’s just slower. Same with reliability, GUIs don’t have to be and usually aren’t unreliable, so command line only has the automation and speed going for it.

    you only need to remember few letters of the command

    I believe that is exactly the problem in this thread. The command history only works if you remember in the first place.

















  • I’m pretty sure most torrent applications have a “set location” button on the torrents, which automatically moves the torrent to the location you choose.

    I know that qbittorrent also allows you to rename files and folders within the torrent.

    The only thing that I have not seen possible is to change the directory structure within a torrent - i.e. move files one directory level up to “flatten” it. If a file is within three nested folders, then it is always like that, but you are able to change both the file and folder names, just have to do it from within the torrent client so that it can pick that change up.

    But what you can always do is use filesystem links instead of moving the actual files around, keeping the actual torrent files in some invisible data directory and only “operating” on the links. Works more or less well depending on your OS :D
