After leeching I changed names and want to seed
« on: January 09, 2010, 01:54:31 PM »
The topic is a short version of this:

First of all I wanted to thank old Box aka New BakaBT for great quality controler!

Im trying to sort my anime/movies (its 2TB) so its alot of work, and im trying to standardization (sorry if i used this word wrong - english aint my native lang) the name of files like this: crc is in [...] or (...), name of group that sub/rip is in [...] and its on begging of file name, aditional info of codecs/quality is in (...) etc. I know that I can reseed something that I only change name of folder that it's stored in, but if I change name of a file (not adding or deleting any, just changing name) can I reseed it somehow using Baka torrent files? So I can have sorted animes and still seed them to other ?

Im thinking about something working like proxy/redirections ?! between TorrentClient (utorrent) and files on HDD - something that will link "old" name, to "new" name of file?

Hope I made it clear, and thanks for replay

redirections are a huge problem if you are using a windows OS - your only feasible option would be to use the relocate feature in utorrent (rightclick on file -> relocate) - but you would have to redirect every file individually.

Dont relocate option need to have same names of files like in orginal torrent?
So you saying using Sybolic? Links in Linux would workd? i think there could be a port of that for Windows ? - if i would make link after link from hand i would do it so its not problem.

no, only "Set Download location..." requires the same filenames, relocate can point to any hash-identical file anywhere.

yes
i think there could be a port of that for Windows?
doubt it
if i could make link after link from hand i would do it so its no problem.
then you got your solution right in utorrent ;)

MANY MANY THANKS. but, i'm mayby alittle blind but i got utorrent 1.8.5 and when i click on torrent i got relocation for folder but when i click on torrent (1 file in torrent) i dont see relocate option ? could you be more specifice where it is ?

edit: is it the last option when i click on file in torrent ? when torrent is stoped?  if so then sorry but i got my lang version and its was translated like "move file" not relocate ;)

YOU MADE MY DAY ;) - i can now start reseeding my collection when I will sort them all <3 thanks ^_^
