Tensk Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi!I've been searching the forum for this but didn't find anything, though it may be because I actually can't explain myself in just a few words so the search engine doesn't become crazy, however the idea is quite simply.I think many of us download tv series, in which my idea becomes useful at its most (in case any), but it would work for any kind of multiple-file torrent.That is, you are downloading season 3 of YFS (which stand for "your favorite series"...), the whole bunch. Then you see the episodes on their own to download. If add that torrent, it will be a new download itself... and I guess you know where I'm heading.Could it be that new torrent to be checked if any current torrent in the list contains the files it has? I know it's probably a bit hard to program, and it may even break the torrent protocol at some point, but if done, it would be kind of helpful, both for the new downloader as for the other peers, wouldn't it?Thank you for your time.

thelittlefire Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bittorrent doesn't care about files. It is not like Gnutella, FastTrack, ED2K. It is only concerned with pieces. In ORDER to send those pieces you must have the same exact torrent...or magnet: link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensk Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I know, I know, that's why I said "it may even break the torrent protocolo at some point". But the matter is that those files have at least one piece for which you can add some peers this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 It's not feasible and it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
