Storing client and torrent data separately

[FIGBERT]

Heyo!

Is it possible to store client (meta)data (like .torrent.db and friends) in a separate directory from torrent downloads? I'd like to throw the client metadata in a temporary folder, and the torrent data in a user-determined location. Additionally, is it possible to set the download location for torrents on a per-torrent basis?

One workaround I've thought of to fix this issue as I currently understand it is to download everything in a temporary directory and then copy it out once the torrent is done, but that feels quite janky.

Thanks!

For storing the metadata separately, override https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/[email protected]/storage#PieceCompletion in your storage configuration.

For modifying storage configuration to handle torrents separately, or to change the default paths etc see:

• DefaultStorage in https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/torrent#ClientConfig
• Storage in https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/torrent#TorrentSpec which overrides the above
• Provided client storage implementations like for files that provide options to configure directories on a per-Torrent basis https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/[email protected]/storage#NewFileClientOpts
