[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 413538, member: 84335"] interesting q. I will watch this thread with interest as personally Ive never heard of anything that will do this. My HTPC is in a different room to machine I do torrenting on so, and the htpc is power-managed so its sleeping when not in use (ie its drives, where I store movies and tv are not accessible when asleep) I usually wake it up and send all the downloads to it when they complete, via network or vnc I guess my setups pretty standard, a folder for movies, a folder for tv shows - each folder managed by its respective plugin in MP With bulk renaming of stuff like tv series I use lupas rename, so I can just enter the format/convention for the file names (one which My TV Series plugin will recognise) and have all the files renamed in one hit. With movies, if the filename looks like it will be difficult to parse, I just rename them manually I guess for your situation a torrent client that had multiple "completed download" folders would be ideal (one for movies, one for tv shows), but the issue will still be that some torrents (tv shows for example) will download to a folder/subfolder, and some will download to root (no standardisation in this regard) For example I just downloaded Greys Anatomy Depending on the torent source, downloads arrived as \completed\s05e05.avi or \completed\greys anatomy\s05e05.avi or \completed\season 5\s05e05.avi My fault I guess for using multiple sources, but there's no single torrent for season 5 yet as its not finished playing. Makes any degree of automation tricky though with this situation. This added to the fact that some of the files were "grey's" and others were "greys" (My Tv Series only recognises "grey's" as valid When you consider all the variables it makes automation a fairly complex prospect I guess as far as the Moving aspect goes, a simple batch file would do it. Could even be run on a schedule. The renaming aspect would be tricky to automate though I think Anyway probably too much detail here but you did ask what people were doing! :) :) gl with it [/QUOTE]
