qBittorrent official forums

hi,
i am new here. Recency i moved from utorrent to qbittorrent.
I am noticing strange behavior after using qbittorent.
i had .torrent files in a folder x:\folder. files are stored in there after download from website like any other downloaded app or what ever from browser.
Now when using qbittorent, every single .torrent file is gone from that folder x:\folder.
Why is qbittornet deleting source files and moves them arround?
OS windows 10

thanks, and sorry if this was asked.

You can change qBittorrent's behaviour with .torrent files in Options > Downloads tab
