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.

Choose a db you’re comfortable with, create structures in it that represent your files and their location in your filesystems, add more structures that represent metadata and then query it when you need to find things.

It’s what phones do.
