rTorrent - Different default save directories for different autolaunch directories

Question

I've been using rTorrent on my home-server for a while and I'd like to explore some of the cooler features of it. One thing I've had going for a while is an autolaunch directory and a default save directory.

What I'd like to do is set up a autolaunch directory for each linux distribution I seed so that I can drop new image torrents into the related watch directory and have them auto start. The caveat is that I'd like to maintain a very specific file structure on the server, where each distro is saved under a different path.

Is there a way (possibly via the schedule= directive) to have multiple auto-launch directories that will each save to a different default save directory?

Note: I already have multiple rTorrent instances for various reasons, so I'd rather not have to start new instances for each distro.

Relevant parts of .DistroMirrors.rtorrent.rc:

#Default Save Directory
directory = /torrent/DISTRO/iso
#Auto-Launch Directory
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load=/torrent/DISTRO/auto/*.torrent

If I am understanding your question correctly, then yes, you can do this. You can have multiple watch directories that save to different directories.

note: Your version of rtorrent must be 0.7.7+

schedule = tied_directory,10,10,start_tied=
schedule = untied_directory,10,10,close_untied=
schedule = watch_directory_1,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff_1/*.torrent,d.set_directory=~/Download/stuff_1/"
schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff_2/*.torrent,d.set_directory=~/Download/stuff_2/"

This is all from there common usage section of there Wiki. I see most people mess this up by using 'watch_directory' multiple times, which is just writing over the previous write directory statement. Make sure they are each named differently.
