magnet links - multiple torrents with the same name

Recommended Posts

When downloading multiple torrents with the same name through magnet links, the second torrent gets a serial number (say downloaded two torrents, both named "SomeTorrent", the second one will be stored as "SomeTorrent1.torrent"), but the folders to which it will try to download the files will still be "SomeTorrent", overriding and colliding with the files in that folder.

It gets worse if both torrents has files by the same name (even if different sizes). One one torrent had finished, the other torrent begins and overrides the file already there.

It's not really a bug. You can do this with non-magnet links too.

The uniqueness check is only done for the infohash itself. If you have two torrents writing to the same files, it's just sort of your problem to deal with. :)
