Combine/Merge multiple torrents into one

mergetorrent combines two or more partially downloaded torrents into a single torrent that is more complete than either of the original torrents. Examples: * You start downloading the same torrent on two different computers and each gets to 50% individually but probably not the same 50%. By combining the results of the two properly, you probably already have 75% and may have 100%. * You start downloading two different torrents that both include the same file. Each gets to 50% on the common file. By combining the common file, you probably have 75% already and may have 100%. * http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/archive/index.php/t-29505.html Solutions so far: * Pick the most complete download. This isn’t a combine and the progress on the less complete download is lost. * Install two bittorrent clients on the same machine and convince the two clients to download from one another on the loaclhost. The network is unused so this should be nearly as fast as copying the file. * Put each torrent on a different computer on the same network and convince the two clients to download from one another. The link on the same network should be very fast. Using mergetorrent: Just select the .torrent file and then select the two partial downloads. mergetorrent will combine them accurately in seconds without a second computer or even loading a bittorrent client.
