QUERY: re-creating original torrent file

Post by andwan0 »

I want to verify integrity of my data files after a HDD move/failure/recovery (adding to a fresh/blank-slate client).

Some I don't have the torrent file, but instead I have a magnet URL saved in a text file.
I add the magnet URL and no files is displayed. I have to run/resume the torrent, wait a few seconds/mins and it downloads the METADATA (list of files). I then stop and force verify integrity of existing files.

After 100% successful integrity verify check, is it possible to save-as torrent file (includes list of files)? If I don't want to create a new torrent file if it will create a different INFOHASH?

A new hash is only created if you select File / Create Torrent

Use "Save Torrent File As..." from either the File menu or the contextual menu.
