Package: bittornado-gui
Version: 0.3.11-4
Severity: wishlist
On a big torrent, say a season of a TV show like MST3K, it's nice to
be able to seed from a few files you already have (e.g. downloaded
from usenet) without having bittornado scribble over the head and tail
of the files where pieces overlap with files you don't have.
Basically, I'm looking for a read-only option. Or even for bittornado
to not have problems if I chmod 444 my files that already have
known-good MD5 hashes.
This would be like never-download, except it would seed the good
pieces from the file, and wouldn't unlink it when exitting.
Another nice thing would be a was for bittornado to save the rest of
the pieces that overlap with good files into the neighbouring files,
even if they're set to never download. (So it doesn't have to
download them again if I re-start the client and the cache has expired.)
Even better might be an option to ignore pieces that span files you
don't have (and are set to never-download). It sometimes happens that
you download a file from usenet but it's suffered some bit-rot, so you
want to use a torrent to fix the erroneous bytes. But the pieces at
the head and tail get re-downloaded unneccessarily, just because
bittornado can't know that they're ok, because the checksum is for a
piece that spans a file you don't have.
Anyway, I want to be able to partially seed a torrent without having
my already-good files messed up, at a minimum. If I chmod 444 them,
bittornado still tries to write, but it gets an error and stops.
