you can specify it in .rtorrent.rc

Re: Simple rtorrent question

... and you can search the net for example rtorrent.rcs. I like to keep my .torrent-files and the torrents in seperate directories.

If you decide to move a torrent when it's already open, first close it (^K), then move it with ^O. Then you can rehash (^R) if you're paranoid and have the CPU-cycles (and disk IO) to waste, and start it again (^S).

Consult rtorrent(1) for further details.
