@ricky Thanks, I got it.
- check that file names, sizes & paths/folders are identical to the thing I already had
- switch to uTorrent Classic
- remove old torrent
- download/add GT torrent with "start" turned off
- Force Recheck
- Start
@ricky Thanks, I got it.
I think I see how to do it in "uTorrent classic"... but it involves downloading JohnDoe's torrent and I will not be able to try that until tomorrow.
P.S. I am using "uTorrent Web". I've gathered that I may be better off on "uTorrent Classic", am trying to install it now
Consider this scenario.
On piratebay, I get a torrent for Mary's Recipes. (made-up name)
It finishes. 4 files of a certain name, type/format, sizes and content.
On gaytorrent, I see that JohnDoe has a torrent for that exact package of Mary's Recipes. (Same 4 files by same name, type/format, size, and probably-identical content.)
I want a way to become a seeder of JohnDoe's torrent, without having to first download his content. I want a way to link JohnDoe's torrent to my existing files, have something do a quick hash or something to verify identical content, and (if verified) proceed directly to seeding, with NOTHING added to my download stats.
How is that done?
