Azureus Folder Names

    Lets put it this way for argument's sake. I have a folder that I am seeding on 1 site, called "Fedora4", containing the 5 Fedora CD images. There is another site that has a different torrent for these same files, but the folder in which they are held is called "Fedora Core 4 ISOs" on this site. I want to seed onto this site also.

    I've searched far and wide with regards to solutions, but I just can't find one.
    It seems a little stupid that, despite having the exact same files, I can't seed because they are in a differently named folder. Is there a way around this?

    Azureus 2.7.03 Beta 7, Win Server 2003 SP1, NTFS (if that makes a difference)

    Thanks,
    snappieT

    if you have the space you could copy the folder, rename it, download and point new torrent to renamed folder, probably :/

    Not an option I'm afraid. At ~ 100GB wanting to seed, and not much free space...
    There has to be a way. Bittorrent is a smart protocol, the designer can't have overlooked this. And the Azureus developer certainly can't have looked over such a simple concept.

    Might be possible to get a .torrent file editor to rename the saving folder? I don't think it's actually possible with the clients.

    Aha, that did the trick! It's a pity that no client implements it.

    Anyway, for those that want to know in future, MakeTorrent is the answer. Choose the "View/Edit" tab at the top, open the torrent, and change the "Name" (not the filename) to whatever the directory is called. Reload in Azureus, sorted.

    Beware, however, of trackers that identify by checksum (majority do as far as I know). Change part of the file, and you have to change the checksum. Do that, and the tracker rejects. Pity.

    Thank you Wolverine
