If you have active torrents they will finish in your old location.
But you can move them if you right click on the torrent and select "Move Data"

Settings -> Configure KTorrent -> Application -> Default Save Location

Just tried that and works. Moved my uploading torrents in another folder and set it as default save location.
Downloaded a new torrent and it goes to the new folder.
Yes, you need to restart KTorrent after the change to make it work :)

...or choose to have no Default Save Location, (leave the box blank) in which case you'll be asked where to save each d/l. I save according to content, and each type of content has its own directory within a separate partition, and sub directories to further refine within each type.

KTorrent always pops up a window with options when you add a new torrent.
In this window, you can also change the save location for the current torrent.
