[Feature Request] - Scan hard drives for matching file hashes

by Guest on 2021/03/11 03:18:39 PM    
Hi Tixati Developers,

Thanks for making this P2P program, I really like it. I sent a small donation last week.
Willing to send larger donations if you can implement any of my ideas?


I found a box of old hard disks. They have old torrent downloads which I'd like to attempt to re-seed.
Let's assume I have the .torrent file so the file sizes, names and hashes will be known to Tixati.

Please could you implement a feature on Tixati where any missing files in the download queue
can be searched locally (USB Hard drive etc) to see if it matches and make a list so it can be copied over and hashed to see if that works?

This would enable to add hundreds of torrents and scan away and see if it finds any matches?

This would save loads of time manually testing.

Thank you

Good day

What I do in such a case is load the Torrent files, then use a duplicate file finder (AllDup is my favorite. But there are many, and any should work for this, really) to scan for files with an identical size, copy them over the incomplete torrent files, and finally force recheck them. If they match, great! if not, no great loss
