Quick Torrent Client Question

i've always thought you could run several torrents with the same exact hash as long as they are renamed differently. i might be wrong tho.

utorrent identifies torrents with the hash value and not with their names

then i guess an error message would pop-up saying that the torrent i'm trying to add is already in the list of torrents, right ?

well i m not sure but whenever i tried to do that a pop up appeared sayin "the torrent u r trying to add is already running are u trying to load trackers from it?"

Correct, and you'd be asked to "load the trackers from it", which you shouldn't do. The only solution would then be running separate instances.

If the hashes are different, just follow this tutorial:
