Re-seed Tool for Windows users
-
This tool is intended to easily start re-seeding files that you have in your storage and that are not currently being seeded.
What it does:
It uses a tool called Everything to instantly fetch a list of all existing files, and then performs a search for matching filenames and sizes present in the torrent file.After adding the torrent file, you'll see a list of all its content, and a search button. Once you hit search, it will send the signal to Everything looking for matches.
When matching files are found but they fall outside of the expected torrent's folder structure, the app allows you to copy or move your existing files into a valid structure that will allow you to start seeding it.
If it finds files within the original torrent's folder structure, it will show you an option to copy the path so you can easily add it to your torrent client. If it identifies an installation of qbittorrent in your machine, it will also show a button to start re-seeding the file automatically.
Currently, it is possible to start re-seeding a torrent even if you don't have all files, but in this intial implementation, it will try to download those missing files. To get around this, it will require a more complex qbittorrent implementation that relies on the WebUI, which is something most users don't even have enabled by default.
Some important notes: this is a standalone app, you don't need to have Everything installed to use it. If you do have Everything installed, you can still use this app, but it will not make use of your existing instance or its database.
Everything is built exclusively for Windows, as it relies on the NTFS Master File Table, a massive index of all existing files. This allows for instant indexing, so even if you have dozens of Terabytes of files, it will take only a few seconds to load everything.
Since there is nothing similar to the MFT for Linux or Mac, this tool will stay being exclusive for Windows.
