For a video that posted by the KTR scene group, was used by both RARBG and N1C to create torrents (V1 format).

now both of it are stuck at 90%+ due to age, is there a way to swap their data to bring the progress to 100%?

thanks.

    Not same in 2 torrents, Putting one into the other and check it will only give me 0% of the results.

    cuz before posting torrent, RARBG will make changes to the source files, such as filling in its site address in the video attributes, while the seed published by N1C is the source file of the publishing group, and was not modified.

          Maybe you could use version control like git to merge the files. But resolving any merge conflicts would probably be impossible.

          I’m a bit high and just spitballing. Hopefully someone will come along and tell me how stupid the idea is and why :D

              I easily handles pictures and soundfiles. I see no reason why I wouldn’t work with video files. In the end, everything is a text file.

                It can recognize if a non text file is there or not, or if the size has changed but not much else. And the big difference is most text based formats are binary while media files are not

                  Just for the fun of it I tried. You can add video files to git, no problem. Gives “large file” warning, but that’s no problem unless you’re trying to look at a diff with GUI client.

                  Everything is a binary file if you go down deep enough.

                    Yes you can add it but it will not let you edit lines of code. And no the data is stored in hex format, it can’t be read binarily, have you ever tried to open a media file in a text editor?
