I implemented a quick hack to download TV shows to separate folders based on the series name and season (e.g. /Lost S05/). This allows programs like Transmission to automatically download the videos there (trashes the torrent once it's finished as well). This suggestion covers one of the requested features(download show torrents to separate folders).
Then media center applications like XBMC, boxee, or plex can easily catalog the videos and add meta information etc.
I want to take it a step further and provide configuration options for each show you are watching (by default it could download to "${BaseDownloadDir}/${SeriesName} ${SeasonNumber#}/ShowTorrent.torrent" (/Users/ddaniels/TV/Lost S05/Lost_S05_E01.torrent).
I attached the SVN patch that hacks in the file name you can see the changed
