Firon Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Well, µTorrent has a read-only hash check, so as long as they stopped it before it started downloading if they made a mistake, they'd be fine.Also, Windows is not case sensitive (for compatibility reasons), so changing case would have no effect.

c4rypt0 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 interesting i never knew that about windows.If the idea is of general interest i can come up with a few other ways that users change the filenames fo quick checking.Another intesting include would be season and ep number checking (which uT must have code for already as past of its RSS parsing). This is a common user filename change option which is a pain in the arse when trying to seed something you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sektor Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 c4rypt0 is right, utorrent could check the first words of the file and the episode number, removing any word separation...tv show - [1x01] should match tv.show.1x01 and tv_show_s01e01, that would help people reseed a torrent if they have the files renamed and burned to dvd...

GaMatecal Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ok, instead of CRC or any other check, THIS FEATURE can be added. Possibility of comma's, apostrophe, exclamation marks, spaces replaced with periods or underscores, should all be taken into consideration.

Honeyfrog Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 utorrent could check the first words of the file and the episode number, removing any word separation... tv show - [1x01] should match tv.show.1x01 and tv_show_s01e01,The first and last examples won't match due to the extra "s" and "e" and absense of "x".This, IMO, would be a big pain in the ass to develop, and the tweaking would never end. The only way to make it really work would be to generate a continuously updating database of hashes for every file on one's system, then compare them to what's broadcast by other clients. -- but then it's eMule and not uTorrent.

GaMatecal Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 You try and rename over 50 files to match the seeders files... very annoying. I wasn't going on sektor's post, as that is unlikely to do, but transfering files over iroffer (irc dcc bot) will replace and delete special characters.
