RiMMER Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hello to everyone!I'm not a newbie, but I couldn't solve this thing I'm just about to ask.I've downloaded a torrent - 10 avi files. Then, I've renamed the avi files according to more official naming system, but the files itself remain untouched (crc).How can I seed them back into the same torrent, whilst having their names unchanged?eMule can do that for example, it doesn't care what file name you've got, it works by hashes. uTorrent should be capable of that too.Thank you for your answers!RiMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll get closed under "previously requested". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Emule is more of a general-purpose search-able network -- lots of identical files might have different names.BitTorrent (µTorrent in particular) is more like a specialized download "accelerator" application -- you are downloading files BY NAME.It's like comparing apples and oranges.You can rename the files back to their original names and re-seed them...I've done that a lot myself without problems.

slipstream Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 BitTorrent (µTorrent in particular) is more like a specialized download "accelerator" application -- you are downloading files BY NAME.Not correct. In torrent you are also downloading/sharing BY HASH (except that instead of individual file hashes it is an overall hash). That is why DHT/PEX/LPD, MAGNET links and renaming of single-file downloads are still possible. Impossibility of file renaming in multi-file downloads is just a misfeature on the client side.

The8472 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Well, if it's important to you you can use Azureus, it provides the necessary features to rename/retarget files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Seconded. Azureus has a feature to rename/retarget individual files in multi-file torrents.http://azureus.sourceforge.net/changelog.php2.3.0.6 - November 22, 2005# Core | Ability to rename and redirect files within a torrentBTW this feature was already requested earlier:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=264180Renaming files is on the todo for 1.8. Retargetting, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 The paths to the files (including the filenames) are hardcoded into the torrent. Changing the files requires either changing the .torrent file itself. Or keeping a ghost of the paths of a torrent in the resume.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
