Description
If two torrents contain the same filename or directory name transmission gets very confused - data actually gets overwritten which is very bad.
In certain use-cases this is *not* an exception or a bug in the creation of the torrents.
An easy fix would be to introduce a global flag that when set caused transmission to include the torrent hash in the download directory of the torrent. Simply choosing the download directory as suggested in #1496 won't work since that implementation assumes a fixed number of directories to choose from on the transmission server.

This is moot now that users can rename torrents on their own, so duplicate foldernames can be handled manually, much cleaner than having hashcodes in the filenames in the users' Download directories...

Bug #5592 points out that renaming torrents is not (by itself) a sufficient fix: user may not realize the overlapping folders' names until it's too late.
