help and make a sad user a very happy camper I've checked all the settings but nothing is checked in that should warrant these problems pls.

Only way to move them then is by clicking the torrent advanced, set download location and move them which is about as far from optimal and fun as you can get. To be sure I get the advanced download window I go into the folder list select where I want my torrents but when the download starts the client puts it into the "Downloads" folder no matter what path I gave it. I can't specify my own download location when adding a torrent. Only workaround I found was installing the beta client which led to my second predicament.
