I do not want anything going to my C drive. I've had and used an external drive for all transfers for many years. How do I reselect my regular download folder as the download destination, or at least a different QT download folder on my external HDD?

In the options tab there's a file sharing sub-tab. The download folder is at the top and you can select whichever drive you like.

Thanks Richrod, butno, I cannot change it there. The field will not let me overwrite the existing location nor paste anything. It is unchangeable, which is why I had to ask. Also, there is not a Browse button anywhere which is normally available for this type of field - really makes no sense.

Sorry Richrod, I am wrong. There is indeed a tab for changing the download folder, just not where one would normally expect it to be - tab instead of button. There is much to get used to with this QT version. Thanks very much for the help.
