Hi guys,
I recently downloaded a movie (We're the Millers) to my seedbox and now I want to continue seeding it on my HDD (since I'm running out of space on my box). So I grabbed the file via sftp and placed it in my qBittorent download folder. However when I try to add the torrent to start hash checking it simply creates a new folder called "" inside the movie folder (i.e. We're.The.Millers//We're.The.Millers.mkv) and starts downloading the movie from scratch. Try as I might, I simply can't change the download location to just "Downloads/We're.The.Millers/We're.The.Millers.mkv". Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

If I choose any other download location it does not place the "_" folder in between.
The movie .mkv is in its own folder and it's in Downloads. What I would like is for qBitorrent to recognize the file already exists instead of redownloading it again. Here are a few more pics to show what I mean:

This is how I've set up my import settings

It immediately starts downloading...

...and creates this directory...

...inside of which is the exact same movie file again which it is now downloading

Hope this clears up any confusion
Thanks again

EDIT: forgot to mention that the same thing happens even if I use the import torrent wizard from the file menu. I point to the torrent file and the download folder, and it creates the "_" folder anyway. I've also tried enabling and disabling the "Keep incomplete torrents in:" option both in both cases the issue persisted. I feel it's because of the apostrophe in the name and this is causing issues in some way.
