ajones81 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 You want to add the same torrent with the same content twice just so that you can use two separate trackers - one with each instance? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 So his dl/ul stats aren't duplicated to both, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heem Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Because I can't use multitracker in same torrent. The tracker's site not allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khyber Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Same "problem" for me.Sometimes I upload the same files on two different anti-leech-trackers. I organize my torrents in groups, so, different groups for the two anti-leech-trackers (just to keep things clear and well arranged).When I load a .torrent file from tracker "A" into uTorrent, I don't get any errors and everything works fine.Next, I want to load exactly the same .torrent file (at least the "content" is the same, the tracker differs, of course) from tracker "B" and then get the "The torrent that you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?" error...Is there a way to bypass that error or an option to disable this check?Thanks in advance!

DreadWingKnight Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 No there isn't a way to bypass or disable the check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 If you disable the prompts for adding torrents the dialog will not come up as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khyber Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 @jewelisheaven: How to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Uhm, well I'm talking about during automated downloading or command-line adding (afaik ALL manual additions popup the box), BUT the two options I was talking about are "show a list of files" and "always show dialog" under Ctrl-P -> Downloads...Please note this popup is USEFUL, as it tells you and shows you (if the torrent is in the current view... use "ALL" category view (F7) to ensure this is the case)...where/what the torrent is. uT uses the INFOHASH to check the content so it's guaranteed to be what you're looking for Obviously you like it, you downloaded more than 1 torrent for the content.

rrmorton Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi everyone,I'm having the same problem as the original poster so I was just wondering if anyone has a solution or a work-around. I want to share a torrent of the same folder on different sites with differing trackers. When I get this message: "The torrent that you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?" I can click Yes and presumably screw up my already-existing-and-properly-functioning torrent. Or I can click No and it simply won't put the torrent in the list.Altering the name of the torrent file won't work either since utorrent just loads the name of the folder I want to share instead of the full name I used when creating the torrent.To make matters more confusing, I've inadvertently managed to get this to work on a few occasions. In other words, sometimes this prompt will come up and sometimes it won't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.I suppose I could copy and paste a new version of the folder elsewhere on my hard drive but that seems like an unnecessary waste of storage space.Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 No there is no workaround. Torrents with the same infohash are only listed once. I believe it's default to add each additional tracker on a separate tier so you don't lose data transfer. Getting it to "work" the way you're asking requires changing the infohash.. which means it won't work on the tracker anyway.That or you're not explaining exactly what you want to do...

rrmorton Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks for your help. Bear with me. I have no idea what an infohash is.Let me run through what I'm trying to do in more detail.I want to share a folder on SITE A so...I select Create New Torrent. I click Add New Directory.I point it to a folder called FOLDER A.Under torrent properties, I put the tracker information from SITE A.I click Create and Save As.I name it "SITE A - FOLDER A"I upload the torrent to SITE A. It shows up in utorrent with the name FOLDER A.It works like a charm.Now I want to share the *same folder* on SITE B. I'll need to create a new torrent with different tracker information so...I select Create New Torrent. I click Add New Directory.I point it once again to the folder called FOLDER A.Under torrent properties, I put the tracker information from SITE B.I click Create and Save As.I name it "SITE B - FOLDER A"Now when I save the torrent and utorrent tries to add it, I get the message: "The torrent that you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?"If I click No, it cancels the torrent and I'm stuck.If I click Yes (which I haven't tried to do) I assume it will copy over the tracker information I entered for SITE A with the new information from SITE B thus killing the first torrent I got working at SITE A.As I mentioned, in the past I've gotten this to work (sharing the same folder on different sites) with no message prompt. Utorrent shows multiple torrents in the name list that have the exact same name and they're all working at different sites. I have no idea what (if anything) I did differently in creating those torrents to make them work. Does it have something to do with these mysterious infohashes?Thanks again.

jewelisheaven Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think you're just a bit confused, and that's alright When you make a torrent from data... say the OpenOffice torrents... It doesn't matter how many sites you upload it to. As long as you don't need to re-download the torrent for sites b, c, or Z it's all the same torrent.The fact uT pops up this dialog is proof of that. It's the same torrent so there's no need for you to have to listings inside uT OR to have two copies of the data "infohash" is a combination of hash (because that's what it is) and info (the info dictionary to be precise).. which is what makes each torrent separate and able to be tracked by the trackers so everyone knows what they're sharing.It's not your torrent creation that's different... it's how the sites distribute their torrents. To make sure the info dictionary and therefore infohash is different many sites add data there. This goes back to previously.. if the sites where you have multiple listings require you to re-download the torrent, that's probably what's going on.Can I ask why you want all torrents to behave this way? Are you having trouble with the torrents themselves on these sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmorton Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes, I am confused! TERRIBLY CONFUSED! Thank you for helping.Hmm, well one of these sites does say, upon uploading a torrent, "You will need to re-download the torrent blah blah blah." So I guess you're right... that's what is causing my confusion. But how do I proceed?My thinking was that I needed to create new torrents each time because the tracker information or the tracker's announce urls need to be different for each site. I don't understand how one torrent pointing to a data folder can work across different sites if each of those sites requires different information in the Torrent Properties: Trackers box.Thanks again for your continued help. I'm starting to understand this stuff better but I still don't know how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 There's a nice simple and graphical way to check You see Bencoded file editor below? Go there, download the recent version, unrar it, and open the exe. Or open it twice.Then you stick in one of the torrents (the one you made, or the one that doesn't need to be redownloaded)... and stick the one from the private tracker in the other instance. Scroll down to the "info" dictionary (it has the + next to it). Notice how there's extra stuff for the private tracker? That's why the infohash on the General tab is different and uT has two places for it.Being new you should get the µManual, and check out http://xrl.us/BTFAQ and http://xrl.us/BTTerms . They along with the glossary in the manual should help you with the jargon you see on here. And the Manual is how to use the uT GUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmorton Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Okay, I'll look into it! Thanks for your help.Verily, you are the type who doesn't give a starving man a fish, but a fishing pole instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The point still stands, if the site doesn't require you to re-download the torrent, and it asks "combine trackers" you just say yes and keep the torrent going.Where it is the same content in the same format but different sites you have the option of adding the torrent with Ctrl-D to path to the directory before adding it... or you just click drag or Ctrl-O and right click advanced set download location to the existing data's path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 So indeed there's no problem with trackers which don't require re-download, and all torrents which do show up separately? I do my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
