Tixati download files not folders

This is where the software will store small fragments of downloaded pieces before they are complete. The data is stored separately because only complete pieces can be hash-checked for integrity, therefore it would be dangerous to save this data into the main downloaded file. This location should have at least MB of free space available otherwise data may be lost between sessions. The user may choose to use the most recently selected folders for a shortcut list, or a custom list of folders.

When using the customized option, the 'Clear' button will be replaced by the 'Customize' button which will open the Customize Location Shortcuts window. If this option is active, a transfer that has previously created it's files will stop with an error if it can not find those files the next time it is started.

This prevents re-downloading data that may simply have been moved to a different location between sessions. If this option is not active, the transfer will simply re-create the files from scratch and start downloading from the beginning. Using this option will help prevent disk fragmentation on certain older filesystems, but will also cause a delay when new transfers are initializing due to the need to write out the entire file with zeroed data to the hard-drive.

Only use this option if you are sure you need it. Tixati cannot move torrent to the Win7 libraries f. Windows default "Videos" folders. It is grayed out. Pete, many thanks for your explanation. I didn't ask the question but I certainly appreciated the answer : The one thing I have never understood about torrents is how to keep a download recognised by Tixati so it is available for uploading.

If I move things manually out of a download folder, it's no longer recognised as it was before I moved it. But what if I have something I downloaded earlier or ripped myself and I want to put it into a folder where Tixati can make it available? If I haven't saved the torrent file on download, is there a way to get Tixati to recreate it?

Where would I put it so that the file can be uploaded , but not downloaded again? The one thing I have never understood about torrents is how to keep a download recognised by Tixati so it is available for uploading. Where would I put it so that the file can be uploaded, but not downloaded again?
