Why does BitTorrent not ask me where to download files, or which files I want to download?
If you would like BitTorrent to let you select files to download before it actually adds the torrent job to the list, make sure you enable the Add New Torrent dialog. If BitTorrent adds files without asking you anything, then that’s because you set a default download location, and so BitTorrent assumes you would like to download everything to that directory. If you want BitTorrent to always show the dialog when you manually open a .torrent file, then make BitTorrent always show the dialog on manual add.
