Adding two torrents for the same file but diffrent trackers

[Jay-C]

Of course it is. You're describing how it's implemented now, but that doesn't mean it have to work like that. Or is there something in the standard that prevents the client from treating two torrents with the same infohash as individual torrents? If so please enlighten me.

I don't remember where I saw the change but this is a Libtorrent matter so far I know and having 2 torrents loaded (private tracker) works with libtorrent 1.0.11. Maybe I miss a port of the story here but the below scenario works for me:

- add the torrent from private tracker 01, wait to the en of the download
- add in pause state the torrent from another tracker, point the destination the same file (be very carreful here) and force-recheck+resume

This way I seed for both trackers w/o issue and avoid ratio possible miscalculation (if the second tracker is simply added to the tracker list of the 1st)

Same problem in 2024 here using Deluge 2.1.2.

I've got a file from a tracker A :



And I want to seed on a tracker B (which contain exactly the same file) so I download the .torrent on the tracker B and add it to my Deluge client.

But the torrent already exists, so I can't add it...

This implies that they are most likely public torrents (given the same infohash) - if the private flag is not set, simply add the tracker to the already seeding torrent.
