Changing the file

[goldenstar]

Hi

I put say movies, audio, etc into a folder called say...

Movie of the day....

that goes into a folder called U Torrent in my Documents

I then make a torrent .. browsing for that exact folder.

I get the torrent into the u torrent folder and post it to perhaps a few

torrent sites.

As far as I can figure, everthing will be ok and will work as long as that

file is left there untouched.... it will seed for people around the net.

that's great.

The thing is, I put some links to mega upload in a few of my files

and as you know the site has been zapped.

Would it be ok to go into those folders and delete the mega upload links and put in new ones say media fire ?

I d be slightly changing the file, but surely it will be ok if the file

stays where it is and the file name is nt changed in any way .

.....

Hi,

If you change the files you are seeding,you must create a new torrent file.

Otherwise people can only download 99,9% of them,excluding the files you have changed in that folder.

I'm 99,9% sure of it.

Cheers!

all Id be changing in there is the url code ...

deleting the mega upload and putting in

media file url.

the name of the file wont be changed .... it will still be in the same

folder in my documents.

Surely the torrent is like an address.... that pinpoints the file sat on my

computor so people can home in on it and start downloading it.

am I wrong ?

Incorrect. Torrents are a snapshot of the files, including their contents. You cannot change anything.

You have to make a new one.

deleting the mega upload

this will work

and putting in

media file url.

this doesn't work

I'm collecting bootlegs and the holy law is:

"Never touch the folder when you start seeding!"
