    Really? Have you @Lookout tasted utorrent skip hash check function???


    I hope qbittorrent will support cross-seeding in the way like utorrent does. qbittorrent does not support cross-seeding if 2 torrents have the same content but not the same folder name, utorrent does this very good !

    Ok I didn't try hash skip to be honest but Qbittorent is open source and ad-free you can develop whatever you want to qbittorent. Its also seperating torrents with trackers and you can also install tons of plugins to qbittorent you can also search torrents from it.

    OK.
    qbittorrent is very good. I like it.
    Honestly, I'm suffering from what utorrent is offering now, ads... sometime force recheck... but I must use it because it supports cross-seeding much better than any other torrent clients.
    Hope that qbittorrent will support more on cross-seeding, for example the case 2 torrents have the same content but not the same folder name. It's an annoyance when you love two sites and you have the content but you can't seed that content on another site just because those two torrents don't have the same folder name and qbittorrent does not support such that cross-seeding. Isn't that a waste of resources?

    Edit:
    - I don't have the habit of using different torrent clients on a location.
    - I've not tried qbittorrent plugins that support cross-seeding, and even not known whether there is such a plugin or not.

    Any suggestion?

    Can you try this video I think it aldready has this feature

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vek_WNWS9n4

    And if u want to cross-seed diffrent named folders you can add the tracker url down to that file i believe.


    Another way :

    On Linux filesystems (ext?) you can do this with hard links. This will add another filename for the file "The Movie 720p.avi":
    ln "The Movie 720p.avi" "The.Movie.2012.720p.avi"
    You can delete either one of them without losing the file.
    To find out how many hard links point to a file you can use stat:
    stat "The.Movie.2012.720p.avi"

    Found this from reddit.

    Maybe you don't know how trackers work with .torrent files or how torrent files work in such cases that you mentioned.
    Most simply, if you change the folder name of a torrent, its .torrent hash will be changed. You can not seed it on the originally-downloaded tracker, not to mention seeding on a target tracker where you want to cross-seed. Those trackers will send a message notifying that the folder-changed torrent not registered (because .torrent's hash changed).
    A tracker tracks a .torrent file's hash, when a hash number not registered, tracker will considered that torrent as not registered. Sure that, if you change the folder name and create a new .torrent file, the hash of that newly-created torrent will be different to the hash number of those previously created with the same content (the original folder). (Even with a folder, you create .torrent files with different piece size, each .torrent file will have a different hash number)
    So the only way that works in such cases is that torrent client supports seeding with a different folder name without changing anything related to a .torrent's hash.

    P/S:
    - I'm not good at listening to English. But from what I understand from the video above, that tutorial does not help me in this case.
    - However, changing the tracker announce link of a .torrent file does not change the hash of that torrent.

    Edit:
    Please tell me if I'm wrong and there are different ways that I've not found from the tutorial.
    Sorry if I'm wrong with something else too.

    I am currently using qbittorrent and mostly satisfied with it. I do a lot of cross-seeding on many private trackers without much problems but when two .torrent files have exact same hash (hash of the .torrent file and not hash of the content), it won't accept it.

    The only glitch is that magnet links don't work for me; it stalls every time while downloading torrent metadata. It may be specific to the version I am using (3.3.something) and may be resolved in newer versions.

    Interesting topic. I've been using utorrent at home as well and reading the comments here it looks like qbittorrent has a bright future ahead of it. So i have a couple of questions for qbittorrent users which mainly have to do with full automation.

    1. Does it have a flexible RSS downloader? And by flexible i mean as robust and user friendly as utorrent's
    2. Does it offer an option to run a file/app/batch upon torrent changing state?

    I know i can install it and find out but i would like to hear opinions as well.
    PS. Sorry for hijacking the thread
