When I add a new torrent and uncheck some of the files that I do not need, кtorrent still partially downloads some of them. I know that this is the limitation of bittorrent protocol and it's ok for me, but I do not want to see these files files in a destination folder because they are trash, don't need them, and sometimes they are confusing (e.g. if their names are not very informative). Moreover, even in this case rtorrent creates a full directory structure and all the files from the torrent for no clear reason.
This may be solved by moving the parts of unneeded files to some temporary folder (ktorrent does that), or by appending all of them to a single temporary file in the destination folder (like utorrent does). Both ways have have their own advantages.
I think, if you implement this feature, many users will be very grateful to you, me for sure.
