Bug Description

When changing the download location via the right-click menu a torrent's directory structure is not accurately preserved.

For example:

A torrent contains /torrent-name/files and /torrent-name/sub-dirs/files and is saved at /media/disk1 resulting in /media/disk1/torrent-name/files and /media/disk1/torrent-name/sub-dirs/files respectively.

After changing the location, to /media/disk2 for example, results in the top directory of the torrent being eaten/swallowed/memory-hole'd/etc.. e.g.: /media/disk2/files and /media/disk2/sub-dirs/files rather than /media/disk2/torrent-name/.....

I do agree that this is needed. qBittorrent should not strip the root folder from the torrent file itself and should be smarter about it. I'll make sure to fix it in v3.0.0.
