qBittorrent official forums

Hey all, i've just started to use qB and torrents in general, and i have an question - if i created a .torrent from a file and my purpose is to upload it on a tracker and seed it , should they both located in a same folder? Because right now my .torrent is located on C: disk and file is located on D: disk.  Should i put my .torrent file to a folder with the file or i can leave it like that?

Your original .torrent file can go where ever.
qBittorrent has its own stored list of .torrent files, but it's hard to sift through since their filenames are their hash instead of what you named them.
