Are there more than a program folder and whatever one calls the torrent folder for Tixati?

After a recent near meltdown I think it is a good idea to have the program and files on a reserve drive (not necessarily the backup) in case of a system snafu.

The goal would be to have the OS, Tixati and files in reserve to keep the torrent going.  Or would it simply be a matter of reinstalling?

You can have the files wherever you want. Check out Settings/Transfers/Local Files. Also right click a torrent or file and look at your choices under location or click the tab options and local files, that from the transfers view.

Just my personal opinion programs should always run on the main drive. That said Tixati has a portable version you could run from a out drive.
