  • If you have all the original, unedited files you downloaded (this might mean multi-part rar archives) can either point your BT client at the location or move/copy them to where your client expects them.
    I tend to add the torrent making sure it doesn’t start, do a manual recheck to check it’s working as expected, then start the torrent.

    If you have main file(s) only e.g. .mkv but not the .nfo and there are other seeders you can do the same as above and it’ll re-download - so in my example the block that contains the .nfo along with some of the .mkv will be downloaded. I tend to copy the files over, just in case but I don’t think that’s actually ever been necessary for me.

    Another option is to have the file you care about and have the SRR file to restore the files to the downloaded state - adding .nfo files but it can also put the files back into those annoying rar archives. This way you can be the only seeder without having too many extra files hanging around. These are quite rare though.
