Meepugh Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Recently I decided it would be a good idea to organize all my music, so I renamed all the albums and put them in folders with the name of the artists. This took me about an hour. Another hour passed and I finally realized how I had just completely destroyed myself.All my torrents say "error invalid download state" which I would know how to solve, but for some reason whenever I reset the download locations they still have the error. I did not rename or change any of the actual files themselves, just moved and renamed the albums.May I also mention, that I rechecked one of my files and now it says "Error: Torrent file changed".Is the reason this is happening because of the fact that I changed the album titles? If so how can I solve this, I desperately need to keep seeding all of these, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 You CANNOT change ANY part of the files and keep them seeding.Full stop.Period.End of story.Fin.FinalOr any other colloquialism or statement you prefer that means it simply cannot happen under any circumstances.

Meepugh Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Someone mentioned that if I redownloaded all the torrent files I would be able to just add the files to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
