How can I merge two torrents?

Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:42 am
OK, I'm downloading two torrents. One is a subset of the other. The files are the same name, size, and content. I'm pretty sure they both came from the same source. Both are partially complete and both are extremely large (many gigabytes).

How can I merge the two torrents so the smaller torrent feeds it's data into the larger one? I don't want to throw out the smaller one and it seems a shame to download blocks I already have.

At the moment this isn't possible. You could have hack something together with symlinks, but I would only do that for files which are fully downloaded.

Thank you for the great application and for responding. :)

It's no problem. I was just looking for an opportunity to save bandwidth. :)
