You do not have to. If you do not use Tor Browser, you do not have to do anything. Tor is built into RS.

Unfortunately, I can only do this because ISP in my area blocks Tor's links. If I could use Tor Browser, I would be able to utilize its bridge function and thus connect to the Tor network. If you can provide a way to do this, I would really appreciate it!

I'm not sure, I fully understand this. Your ISP cannot block any Tor links, because the .onion links are supposed to be encrypted.
Your ISP can theoretically block Tor entry points, but in this case, neither the Tor browser, nor RS will work.

RS has its own Tor server, so you do not need Tor browser to access RS peers via Tor.

If you want to use RS over Tor browser, you can configure Tor browser ports under RS Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration, but in this case, to use RS, you must always have Tor browser running. And it generally makes he configuration more complex.

does anyone know how to make retroshare not use your regular C drive for temp data storage? it seems to be clogging up my main drive.

Hey, Im runing into an issue on retro share. I downloaded an rscollection and took the file into my data on retroshare. The collection consists of 10Gb of MP3s. I selected two of them and clicked on download. Now they are in my Downloads Tab stuck on 0% with the status: Waiting.
What can I do to make them download or listen to them?

You need more contacts (Sources) unfortunately not many people use retroshare these days.

Is it at all possible to recover the password to a RS account if you've forgotten it?

I think, only the hash is stored, so, not possible.
