and yeah you're scenario is tres weird. seems like you're totally over-thinking it. can't really wrap my head around what you're trying to do.

i'm super crazy high right now and not sure i get your question, but i have a dedicated downloads-only internal HD that runs torrents all day long so it doesn't interfere with the primary internal HD that my apps run on (saves wear and tear, and if that drive fails i don't lose any important data). every once in a while i'll move finished downloads onto a dedicated external HD that only holds media.
the external you can unplug and stuff without affecting downloads or apps...
make sense? (or help?)

vvvvvismith - this works if I stop seeding some stuff, but I like to seed eeeevrythingismith
- a lot of it I'm the only seeder, but I can't just pick and choose because my internal hd can't hold much more and there are almost 2k foldersismith
- almost 2k folders. i.e. too much of a pain to organize for meismith

maybe set up a partition on you main drive and use folder shortcuts to access the external drive's data?
- this is close, but I'd also like it to copy the data from those folders being accessed by the computer (onto the partition)ismith

Say I have Cog open– 50 songs or so. If I hit "Eject Lacie HD," a window comes up that says it can't do this because Cog is currently accessing these 50 files.
What I want it to do is when Cog loads these files for it to copy all of them to a separate folder or virtual disk that's stored on my internal HD. So when I hit eject Lacie HD it will do so and I can continue listening to my music. Cog will think it's still connected to those files on Lacie HD but they're actually on Virtual Disk 1 or whatever when I unplug it.

I the case of Transmission, I'd like it to remain open so I can still download stuff to my internal HD, but when they're complete and I reconnect to my external it should copy them over and resume seeding everything on my external.
