Windows 10: BitTorrent: How To Keep Record Information of Downloaded Torrents?

This is what I'm worried about:

Anyone know if it's possible when there's only one seeder for that seeder to change the data contents of the torrent?

 

Update:

I've completed downloading the torrent now.

Can anyone suggest a way for me to check that the files within the torrent are unmodified?

 

I know in Vuze you can export the torrent details, but i have not tried it so not sure what info it export (right click and then advanced)

I have only used private sites in the past, with them it is not possible for a seeder to modify the file and keep seeding it, once you modify it the tracker marks it as invalid and seeding stops

 

Your reply is much appreciated!

I'm also using Vuze.

I'll try "exporting" as you say, but I've never seen this option before.

I'd be forever grateful if someone could post other ideas.

 

hi there guys..

about the use of the magnet link and then saving the torrent file generated: are you sure that hose torrent will have real info inside? I knew that if using magnet the torrent file stored by the client were useless, and I tried to restore a few interrupted downloads using torrents file saved by the uTorrent and there were no peer found, no trackers at all!

I reinstalled Windows a few days ago and I had downloads not finished yet, so searching google I read that I should have found those magnet link again..

 

Hi there

@brainvision

Why not use Torrent Project Website -- enter your search name and then copy the meta data from the description.

You don't need to download the torrent to get info - it's all displayed -- but if you DO download these days always use the magnetic link and depending on your torrent client you might need to load torrent via URL link or whatever

I use DELUGE - right mouse click on the magnet link --> copy link location and then in the deluge torrent client simply add torrent via URL. The URL is the link you copied from the "copy link location" in the magnet link.

If this site blocked by ISP simply use TOR / VPN - although there's zillions of LEGAL torrents out there - Linux distros are often for example distributed by Bit torrent to save load on servers so why a SEARCH facility should be blocked -- well I suppose these days even POSSESSING info is getting to be controlled - even if you do NOTHING illegal with it !!!!!.

For example I'm looking for info on a Renaissance Rare Classical Musician - GESUALDO

(yes this search site even has info on the most obscure stuff and it's great and simple)





cut and paste the Torrent contents into a spreadsheet -- Job done !!!!!!!

(don't actually copy the Contents itself --just the text plus the file sizes)

Now if you need to re-download / find the torrent again you've got all the info (including trackers if you want) and can see if it's the same one as you started with.

I just had the idea that I could use an app to record a video of me downloading the .TORRENT file.

I could use an app like 'FRAPS' I guess?

Would this be better than storing information about the torrent in a .TXT file?

 

I thought using something like 'FRAPS' would save time and be a more effective way of making sure that the .TORRENT file was safely downloaded into Vuze?

 

One other big problem:

I'll be in trouble if a torrent tracker goes offline permanently as I won't be able to access the information like the number of snatches or user comments about the torrent...

 

How can I export the torrent details in Vuze?

 

Not sure if it gives the info you need, but this is how to export from Vuze

Right click on the torrent and select Advanced



from the next options select Export



Then chose how you want to save it
