I have some answers, but not solutions (yet).
It appears they are starting up the rtorrent deamon with the -n option:
That option does this according to rtorrent help: "Don't try to load ~/.rtorrent.rc on startup"
I think normally that .rtorrent.rc is where these kinds of settings would be. I kind of agree that its lame that ruTorrent is not able to push settings changes into the rc file, or really I guess rtorrent is probably to blame for not having a way to push changes of the session back into the rc file. so the GUI is mostly useless for a lot of the settings other than temporary basis, it would appear.
I'm not sure at all where to put the settings you want if not going to load the rc file or whether there is a systemside default rc file that can be read, I'm looking into it.
As for as /c/media always being the default location, this is also hard coded into the startup script with the -d option (see above), so edit that script to change the default download location to something else you want or remove it altogether.
