Downloads
Note that any file downloaded through Videora appears in the download ListView. This includes *.torrent files. These *.torrent files are very small files which tell your BitTorrent client where to download the actual files in a torrent (whether they are video, audio, etc). These files are required to initiate the BitTorrent download.
Download Location
For more information on automatically moving your downloads to the folder you want, please see the Download Location Guide.

Download History
The "Download History" a list of all the files that Videora has either automatically or manually downloaded. This list is used by Videora to prevent file duplication. If downloaded files are removed from this list, they could be re-downloaded.
You should remove torrent files that you have completely downloaded peridocially to shorten Videora startup times and memory usage.
How-to: Remove Single Files from the Download History
To remove a single file from the history list AND delete the file from your computer, simply select the file and click the "Remove File" button.
Note that this will delete the file from your hard drive. For *.torrent files, it will only remove the torrent file and not the actual data downloaded through BitTorrent.
