continue a download with a different tracker?

**worldpease** · 03-29-2010, 07:24 AM

Ok lets say I started downloading a movie with this one tracker, but then someone else uploaded it to a new tracker and at freeleech.
Since I've downloaded quite bit of this file by now, is it possible in uTorrent to continue downloading the rest of the file from the new tracker? if so, is it fair?

Yes uTorrent can continue as long the file is exactly the same (size, rar/unrar), and its fair. its all about sharing

As long as you don't add 2 trackers to the same torrent,its fine

Yes it worked! actually the thing that worried me is that in trying I might end up overwriting what I already had downloaded, so I just copied the partially downloaded file to a different drive and it worked, uTorrent just re-checked for a while and then continued precisely where it should.

lol I know, somehow I had that same thought since the beginning, because I do remember doing that before, but with public trackers.

Ok then guys, thanks for the help

Stop the torrent, remove it from the list (don't delete the files, of course), readd the one from the new tracker as stopped, do a hash check and wait for it to finish. You can resume your download now. Note this will only work if the files are the exact same ones for both.
