Hey guys,

So yes, i have been toying with this for about 2 hours now and still am not able to solve this. I got this code directly from rtorrent's wiki and after extensively searching via google, still nothing.

The thing is that rtorrent displays this message :

Code: [Select]
Event 'event.download.finished' failed: Cannot change the directory of an open download atter the files have been moved.
This is my .rtorrent.rc entry:

Code:
system.method.set_key = event.download.finished,move_complete,"execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,/home/myname/rtorrent/finished;d.set_directory=/home/myname/rtorrent/finished"
What should I do?

Edit: Solved it.

Apparently a different command has to be used for rtorrent 0.8.6 and up.

Anyways, here is the new command to be used:

system.method.set_key = event.download.finished,move_complete,"d.set_directory=/your/directory/here/;execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,/your/directory/here/"
