Enabling the "Allow torrents with archived files" would require users to manually un-archive and remove the archived files. A feature for complete processing of archived files is in the "Beta" release phase, at the time of this writing. The "Allow torrents with archived files" option can be used with the "Beta" feature option. Use of both options is intended for testing and to be used by advance users. Neither of these featured options are recommended for new users, or for the first run.

• This step configures the location of where Media Center Master will save a fetched .torrent file for uTorrent to read and process.
• The second location, if left blank, will be automatically configured by Media Center Master.

• By default, this will be the same location as listed in the "Save T.V. torrents files to:" user entry field.

• This location will not be visible until the "Setting and Preferences" window is saved, closed, and reopened.
