torrent file, does it make a difference which file I'm saving? I just want to be sure that this "mismatch" isn't going to cause a problem if I need to download the files again in the future.Īny insight would be appreciated. Is there something being added to this file when loading in the client that's causing a mismatch? If so, what is it? And, if I were to save the. torrent file across the board, so there seems to be something added or changed each time I load an "original". torrent file generated by qBittorrent appears to be 28 bytes larger than the original. I've since checked several other files with the same results. torrent generates one SHA1 value, while the file generated by qBittorrent (or uTorrent) generates another SHA1 value. torrent files against it's "duplicate" to compare. Out of curiosity, I decided to check the hash of one of my. torrent files: The first is the file I downloaded from whichever website I've found the torrent, and the second is a file created automatically by the client (for example, C:\Users\\AppData\Local\qBittorrent). torrent file directly (and not opening the download in the client with a magnet link) I end up with 2. torrent file in case it's ever needed in the future.

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find an exact answer to my specific question.Īfter completing a download, I like to keep a copy of the. Hopefully someone can help with this (likely) very simple issue. See post in comments for information regarding solution.***
