Mechwarrior5 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 So about a month ago I started downloading a torrent with no seeders and just hoped one would come on. About a week later I started downloading 3 different torrents with the same files that each have the same issues. Anyway a seeder popped up on one of them and finished one of the torrents yesterday, and I'd like to seed to the other 3 torrents.Whenever I try to replace the files with the finished ones uTorrent will just remember the progress it had and assume that it still needs to download the files. Is there any way to force uTorrent to assume the files are finished?The files are identical with the only differences being what text files come with the torrents, but those really don't matter.

Make sure filename and path is identical, relocate if needed. But that torrent with text file, if the text files wasnt downloaded, maybe not 100% finished after recheck because of missing pieces.

Mechwarrior5 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've tried forcing them to recheck but it still considers them unfinished. The files are exact duplicates but from different torrents. I'd just like to seed to the others since there's people who have been waiting over a month for seeders.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 The files are exact duplicates but from different torrents.If the re-check doesn't declare them complete, this statement is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change to 99% usually cause by smaller file size in unfinished torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beasly Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 putting ketchup on ice cream isn't that great an ideaAlthough it's not the norm, it is however delightful on top of certain flavors of ice cream!...Each palete may have subtle differences and reactions to the flavors. You may be pleasantly surprised.Do a blind taste test on strange tasting combos and see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindowsStar Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Ok, with all that is said here it is not possible. Is there a way to add this feature to the software?? I too would like to help others out with a torrent that is no longer working and no-one is seeding. I have all the files and would like to add them so others can download them. ?? Feature add??
