Do you save or delete your torrent files? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 save them cause ive had an issue where qbittorrent removes all my torrents on startup (with the flatpak version) so it's easier to just readd the torrent and keep seeding
