Description
Hi,
Would be nice to have a few options in the app.
First I would like to be able to specify the Temp download path.
That is, the location of where data is stored (downloaded files and torrent files).
Current all data is stored @ %Temp%\webtorrent
Not good. OS is installed on a small SSD. Will fill up quickly.
So I need to be able to tell it to store files somewhere else (be it another hard disk, network path, ftp, etc.).
Thank you,
Will

Research direction
Start by locating where the app currently stores downloaded files and torrent files under %Temp%\webtorrent. Trace how the application accepts settings and how those files are written. Done means a user can configure a replacement location and both kinds of data use it, including the supported path types described in the request.
