Thread: Cross Seeding Utorrent 2.0.4 & 2.2 - "The torrent you are trying to add is already...

Okay - I have cross seeded in the past and have never had this issue appear before; I know other have. What is the work around?



I'm using Utorrent 2.2, I was using 2.0.4 and just upgraded to see if that would help.

Any thoughts?

Thx all -

Try changing the .torrent filename.

I did... added some things - renamed it entirely - nothing. Any thoughts? I have cross seeded about 6 times so far and this is the first. Same sites too - I'm stuck.

When I download a torrent my OS asks me where I want to put it and gives me the option to rename it before saving. It seems to me that torrent files are automatically associated with your client. It should ask you to merge the files, you should be clicking "no". I don't use windows or uTorrent, but the problem is with your torrents having the same name. Find a workaround that will let you change the torrent name before you download it. It can be a simple change like:

Torrent-Invites.the.movie.staring.oki[2010]-OKI.torrent
to
Torrent-Invites.the.movie.staring.oki[2010]-OKI torrentleech.torrent

You can do one simple thing.. Open the properties window of existing running torrent, then in add the new tracker in the trackers tab. Problem over.. :)

Yeah lol. That's what you want to avoid! Having 2 trackers on the same torrent will send wrong info to each one and you'll get banned.

It's been awhile since I used it, but uTorrent keeps a list of active torrents in a binhex file, so you may have to delete it from uTorrent [just don't delete the data file!]. Then download [if you don't already them] the torrent files from each of the trackers. if the names are the same, re-name them before loading either into uTorrent.

i had the same problem.

renaming the torrent or the download folder didn't help. i deleted the torrent from uTorrent and then started the FORCE RE-CHECK.

but before doing so, you better check that the trackers list in your utorrent doesnt have the same tracker in them.
