So I downloaded this Pre-Installed game from a respected torrent site. But whenever I run the game, the bottom 5 files get updated/changed apparently. And this torrent goes to the error section in Qbittorrent. Now I have to delete the exe and other small files from my folder and redownload them again through this torrent else this torrent wouldn’t seed.

So I would not be able to seed those bottom 5 files unless I have a completely fresh install of the game ? and that means, I either have to unselect those bottom 5 files from my torrent client or create a copy of the game in another Folder so the exe and other python files don’t get updated as I play the game ?

    It’s 1 gig, you can spare that right?

    The guy above me said to copy the entire folder somewhere else instead of Hardlinking, did you miss this ?

      Sorry, I checked the wrong column.

      Still it’s 1.67 gig, a 32 gig hard drive costs peanuts, probably less than you spend in electricity keeping your computer running to seed torrents while you’re not actively using it.
