How to merge 2 torrent DLs into 1 ?

Hi folks. Anybody has a clever idea for this?

I have two different .torrent files which reference the same content (meaning the files are bit-for-bit identical). Unfortunately the directory names and file names are slightly different. It just so happens that both are not 100% available, but for some files the available parts in either torrent would complete each other to 100%.

If the directory names and file names were the same, I guess I could just download both torrents to the same target directory on my harddisk and uTorrent would automatically add the parts together after they passed the checksum test.

But what can I do now that the names are different? If I hex-edit the .torrent file, I change the info-hash and so won't be able to connect to other users with this torrent, right? So what else can I do?

Otherwise I could just download the files and merge them manually with a hex-editor, but this is obviously quite a tedious process (find overlapping parts, etc.)

Thanks a lot!
