TLDR: Is there a way I can just choose files to seed automatically instead of downloading again first?
Pretty new to using torrents and I have a bunch of files I’ve been able to download over time through magnet links. Some of which I was unable to seed for long periods of time so removed but would like to be able to still seed them again.
It doesn’t look like I have torrent files for them and I tried copying the. Torrent file to another folder when using magnets to see if I could get it from that. I was able to get some from that but it seems to just start a Download again. Can anyone explain this process a little bit better for me so I can offer up my files at later times too?
I’m willing to take the risk. It’s like saying “your web browser supports WebGL”. Unless you’re on Opera Mini or something text-based or ancient, we can assume it’s true.
How does changing an extension break verification? It’s just a rename again. I have successfully changed an extension using qBittorrent before and the check passed again. Via its web interface, even!
And no client hashes filenames because they just aren’t what is hashed. I think even TUI ones have internal support for different filenames even if they don’t have a rename function because you can reach limits of your filesystem (path length, character support etc.)
