For a video that posted by the KTR scene group, was used by both RARBG and N1C to create torrents (V1 format).

now both of it are stuck at 90%+ due to age, is there a way to swap their data ~~to bring the progress to 100%~~?

thanks.

Yes you can add it but it will not let you edit lines of code. And no the data is stored in hex format, it can't be read binarily, have you ever tried to open a media file in a text editor?

I can open it in a text editor just fine. And you can edit it. In fact, in my example file I used I see big sections of "0000" compared to other sections that look like "712c 10a3 14bb 2980 0005 1c46 25b8 0040".

I'd post some screenshots but lemmy gives me errors. But that might actually be viable, the more that I think of it.

Well, good luck manually editing a picture/video I guess

I believe in that case you may be able to merge the two files by dumping a hex of each, then running a diff on the two hexes and substituting valid hexes into any zero blocks.

I'm actually kind of curious about writing a script to handle this now that I'm presented with it. Can you link the two torrents for me so I can take a crack?
