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.
That would only help if they are still seeded when you need them. Torrents for something like individual TV episodes usually won’t have seeds for very long after the season pack gets released.
