Not workg default folder and the selecction folder wen add torrent, always download to /downloads/complete

[jjaviercs]

I've been looking for a solution to the problem I'm having where RuTorrent always saves files in the .../downloads/completed folder, and I've read about it on many sites, but I haven't found a solution. I've set the following paths on my device:

-v /volume1/docker/rutorrent3/data:/data
-v /volume1/docker/rutorrent3/password:/passwd
-v /volume1/docker/rutorrent3/downloads:/downloads
-v /volume1/video:/video \

I've set the default folder in Settings > Downloads, under Other, to /video, but when the download finishes, it always changes to /volume1/docker/rutorrent3/downloads/complete. The same thing happens if I specify /video when adding the download.

However, if I choose the "Save to /video" option after the download is complete, it does change, so it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it?

I am experiencing the exact same issue. It seems impossible to disable the forced move to the /complete folder.

I have spent a significant amount of time trying to override this behavior, but the container seems to ignore both environment variables and manual configuration. Here is a list of things I have tried, none of which worked:

1. Environment Variables: I set RT_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE=/downloads/Temp (and other paths) in docker-compose.yml. The variable appears correctly in docker inspect, but rTorrent still moves files to the default /complete folder upon completion.
2. Config Overrides: I tried adding method.set = cfg.download_complete, "/downloads/Temp" to my .rtorrent.rc to override the bootstrap settings. Ignored.
3. Disabling Events: I tried to unbind the move command in .rtorrent.rc using method.set_key = event.download.finished, move_complete, "". The move still happens.
4. Autotools: Even with the Autotools plugin configured to move files elsewhere (or disabled entirely), the internal container logic seems to take precedence or conflict with it.

It appears that the image's bootstrap scripts (or .rtlocal.rc) enforce a hardcoded logic that overrides any user settings regarding the completion directory. Is there a way to completely disable the built-in "move to complete" feature so we can handle file paths manually or via plugins?

Try just removing those lines from your rtorrent.rc?

RT_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE is not a documented env and you can't override bootstrap paths since they're constants.
