Hi, let me know if this is obviously stupid and won’t work. I’m an old pirate but obviously still pretty uneducated. I’ve got a dead torrent that’s a collection of roms. 4 seeders, 800 abandoned peers (ungrateful basterds). Seeders are rarely online or can’t provide more than 8% after a week. The roms are pretty mainstream and it’s strange for this torrent to have been abandoned.
If I can find find the exact releases of as many roms as possible in the collection from other singular sources, can I resurrect this torrent by just copy+overwrite into the unfinished folder? is it that simple or is this hubris? am I too old to be this stupid?
I believe the 99.3-99.7% that means it’s the right hash, but because it doesn’t have the start/end of the next/previous file, the pieces that contain the edges of the rom aren’t complete (torrents are devided into pieces of 1MB/256kB/8MB/…)
Could also be a small metadata error in the file though idk much about
