Reseed requests and mangled filenames
-
so I get a reseed request in my inbox and am almost positive I have the file, but searching my storage turns up nothing. So many times a torrent will save with a filename such as -4574047396370800991.mp4 or simply "vid" or something else that has no resemblance to the actual torrent name, what can you do?

When you download a torrent and open, it shows folder and the title name content and size ...
Look for torrent folder title that exactly matches ...
Copy the folder containing files to other folder directory to avoid corrupting files during re-check process ... -
@MontanaJones I often can't find the files I have previously downloaded from a torrent, but my torrent client (utorrent or qbittorrent) has stored the exact size of the file. which is often over 10 digits long (over a GB) such as 1,238,415,876
If it were possible to search for torrents by just the file size, it would almost always find the exact torrent you were looking for so you could download it again. -
@john32123666 Sometimes they download to their own folder but often times they end up in the general download folder. Sorry but I don't have the patience to be making a bunch of new folders etc. why can't they just have the correct filename to start with?
