Multiple torrent download into one

Postby andhee » 10 Aug 2014 01:53

i know shareaza support multiple protocol, but only 1 torrent protocol.. how about support multiple torrent ?!

sometimes we found some torrent from multiple releaser, same content but just different adding on sites info, can we combine this to make more source?

example: a tv series, [eztv] n [vtv] release is exactly the same file n content, but with normal torrent we can only chose one, can we make shareaza download both seed onto same torrent file?

DHT already practically solves this issue.

andhee, this is one of the limitations of first generation p2p. In second generation like G2, this problem is solved.

This is not a problem of first (centralized) generation P2P, this is a problem only of the BitTorrent protocol. In each normal P2P network when you share a file, the hash of that file is computed and uploaded to the network. But in BitTorrent protocol you compute hash of file, put it in .torrent file with metadata (catalog structure, filenames, modification time) and hash of that .torrent file is uploaded into network (Tracker, or DHT). I still don't understand why the least technically advanced P2P protocol is the most popular.
