arick Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have a partial download of a very large torrent that I want to provide to my son-in-law. I want to send what has already been downloaded, but I also want to include the associated torrent file so that he can finish the download. Between uTorrent and BitTorrent, I have changed some of the configuration around a bit, and with all the torrents that I have queued up, I have not been able to figure out which torrent file is associated with the partial download. If I can find the torrent file that is associated with the partial download and include that on the HD that I am shipping him, I am hoping that he can finish the download (he is a very experienced BitTorrent user). So I have two questions:1) What is the minimum that I can give him, that will eable him to finish the download,2) How can I identify the particular .torrent file that is associated with a given download?More Details:For Christmas, I was planning on sending my son-in-law a download of the entire Batman comic book collection, which I have been downloading for the last month or two. I have managed to pull down two of the three major collections, but the third collection, which is MTCDC-NMC 08 Batman A-Z, is not going to be completely downloaded in time. My plan is to copy all of the downloaded folders onto a USB 3.0 drive and send it out. However, that will leave about half of the last collection only partially downloaded. He has a much, much better internet connection, so I figure that he can probably finish up the download a lot faster then I have been able to download, if I can also provide him with the .torrent file that is associated with the download that is partially complete.

Harold Feit Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 You can probably just copy the magnet URI (from the right-click menu) and give that to him as a shortcut or in a text file to start the download. Then, once it populates the files on his drive, he can stop the torrent, copy the files over, and force a re-check to get your partial files over to his setup.

arick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Umm, that is a good idea. I will tell him to try it out. I will post his results.BTW: I have run into this type of situation a couple of times, where it would have been handy to be able to locate the .torrent file that is associated with a given download. This would be a nice piece of information to add to the "Info" tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
