I want a simple command mv ~/Downloads/*.torrent ~/Torrent-Backup/ to be run everytime the system starts up.

But though the commands works perfectly by itself, scheduling it as startup application does not work.

Please suggest.

When you set a command to be scheduled at startup, you should use full paths, not ~:

sh -c 'mv /home/username/Downloads/*.torrent /home/username/Torrent-Backup/'

Replace username with your user name.
