seeding the same file but with different names?

(1/1)

isukianime:
I have a couple hundred GB of anime that's available on here but have different file names. I know their similar since the checksum at the end of the files is similar. Do I have to rename the files to seed? Is there an easy way to do that?

blubart:
if the files are the same you can seed them without renaming. it takes some work tough - as you will have to (at least in utorrent) relocate every file of the torrent manually to its new filename (rightclick on the file in the files tab -> relocate).

Or use your system's symlink equivalent (shortcuts, I believe).

my guess would be the op is using windows, which is clueless about symlinks prior to Windows Vista (shortcuts are not comparable, and useless in this case) and a pain in the butt to use starting from there.
