Hmmmm, well, I've always used a default data directory. This is the way I have it set up for me.

When I download a torrent file, I have it save it to my Music / Downloads folder (I do that with my browser)

In Azureus, Options / Files, I have Save to default data directory checked and I save to Music / Downloads

Then in Options / Files, I have Move completed files checked and I save to Music / Downloads Completed and I also have move .torrent checked there

When I offer up a torrent here, I start my folder out in Music / Downloads and I put my .torrent file in there also.

That is what has worked for me.
