So, yeah: Do you save your torrent files or delete them after you’ve added them to your favorite torrent client? Why? Not the underlying data, just the torrent files themselves.

I’m undecided. I figure if I save them and back them up to an offline/offsite device, then I can (mostly/hopefully) recover from hardware failure by simply re-adding all the torrent files to my favorite client. The downside is deciding how to organize them.

I’d love to hear from the community on this.

    I stay away from torrent files, preferring magnet links only. Seconding the other user’s suggestion of backing up appdata to preserve your torrent library.
