> got the error with the folder anywhere but
in the original location where HTT created it

So the original copy on your computer works? Even in offline mode?
If you copy it to a different place on your computer, does it still work in
offline mode?
> I think I have a setting off for the download in the first place. Just
don't know where the setting is.

In the download folder HTT stores the download settings in a special folder
called hts-cache.

If you open the hts-cache folder, you should see a list of files like this:

doit.log
new.lst
new.zip
readme.txt
winprofile.ini

The download settings are in winprofile.ini and doit.log.

Can you copy and paste the content of those files here please?
