Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/issues/95

The options in my config.json file are being respected for torrents added to the web gui, but when the peerflix server is restarted, the torrents that were previously active do not use the options and revert to default. Newly added torrents will respect the options, but then after a restart they again do not.

My use case is that I set "tmp" to an alternate directory to download torrents, and when I add a torrent, it initially downloads to that directory, but if I have any torrents in my queue, and I restart peerflix-server, the torrents persist, but they re download to /tmp/torrent-stream

It seems that when the server starts up and adds back torrents from the previous run, it doesnt use the config.json options.

Thank you for the quick fix, and also thank you for building such an easy to use gui and api for peerflix!
