so i have downloaded 4.2 gigs of a 4.3 gig file using bit torrent then it stoped and i look at the peer list and nobody has the full file, they are all stoped where i am, is there a way to start useing a diffrent torrent file without restarting my download? I can find the same file at diffrent search sites, where they have the full download. I have just spent a week downloading this shit and i don't want to start over.

It needs to be from the same torrent I belive.

Well, if the data is EXACTLY the same, then you can probably use a torrent from a different tracker. Every file has to be the exact same size, same name, same capitialization, same everything!

4.2 gigs is nothing...it took like 3 or so weeks for Cart to download all 16 seasons of the Simpsons....at one point we thought it was never going to finish. 38.5 gigs by the way. Just restart with another one that has better health.

how do i do that without restarting?

When you open a new torrent, point it to the previous torrent's directory. If you're using a good torrent client, it will check the file hashes and if they match, contine from there.

sometimes it's just the folder name that's different with the same torrent on different trackers.

where did the torrent sticky go?

I just bought a used CD that is less than perfect, so I figgured I already own the copy, I can just dl the torrents. I use torrent spy and it tells me I can't search for depeche mode. Its protected. What should I do? I need the whole album....Thanks in advance

Don't give us that crap. Who cares if you own it or not. Who do you think we are, the feds?

Haha, owned.

I find that if you wait someone will eventually seed again. I had a CD missing one 256kb segment sitting without a seed for about a week before it finished. If that's not your fancy then I know that Azureus let's you switch to another tracker for any torrent on one of the dropdown menus it has.
