Hi,
I installed qbittorrent to my truenasscale and created a dataset for it like;

wd -> wd -> downloads

After a download finishes for organizing i try to move files to a directory like wd->wd->movies which i havent created a dataset only a directory from samba share. However it acts like it is transfering it through lan and takes time. Any other file transfers from any folder in wd->wd->... is almost instant. What should i do in order to transfer files under "downloads" dataset to be instant? Should i remove "downloads" dataset and create the directory from samba share? (will qbittorrent work?) or do i have to create datasets for every directory i want to transfer files?

I think the situation is:
Transfers between datasets require a copy.
Within datasets, then the metadata pointers can just be changed.
