download-dir stored and used upon torrent add NOT torrent complete

Description
- Set download-dir to /foo.
- Download a torrent
- Stop transmission-daemon before torrent finishes
- Change download-dir to /bar.
- Start transmission
- Let torrent finish.
End result, torrent is moved to /foo, not /bar.
This is asking for trouble. In some case the mount might not be there, disk is full, etc.
I don't think this is expected behavior. Please change so that when a torrent completes, it uses the "current" download-dir.

This is by design. Torrents pick up their download-dir setting from Preferences when they're added.
Think of it this way, what happens if the incomplete dir is changed while a torrent's downloading? Or, if the incomplete dir is toggled while a torrent's downloading? Or if the incomplete dir is disabled, and the download-dir is changed while downloading? All of these actions would lead to problems. That's why incomplete & download dir are applied when the torrent is created.
