I'm sure that this is a newbie question that has been answered before I did do a search for the answer and didn't find it so perhaps its so totally obvious that no one has even asked.

I recently setup rutorrent/rtorrent on an openSuse 12.1 server I'm using as a local seedbox since I have a pretty good connection, this functions well and does what I have wanted to do.

I recently downloaded a torrent from a site and the poster named the torrent file "torrent". Being that this torrent is something that I have the intention to seed for a fairly long time (books) I want to rename the torrent to something meaningful so that I will know what it is without having to remember what it is. Like: "Pulp Magazines 1950-1960 (pdf)" instead of "torrent". While I can always stop seeding it the way it is and make the changes I want to it and then post it (even give credit to the original in the comments) to me it just doesn't seem like the right thing to do when someone else when to the trouble to create it and then post the original but gave the torrent a meaningless name.

<vent>How freaking redundant, meaningless and useless to name a torrent with the a useless name.!</vent> I apologize my OCD is kicking in.

There must be some way to deal with these goofy things that get done sometimes by well meaning folks who were just not slamming enough neurons together when they did something. We've all done it.

The other clients that I've used in the recent past have had this sort of function but so far I haven't found it. I don't want to rename the files in the torrent and though it would be nice a nice touch to rename the directory it isn't completely necessary but I would like to rename the displayed name of the torrent in the web interface or rutorrent if nothing else.

I'm guessing that I'm just missing the option or not seeing it.

Thanks for your help
