Title: Couple of Bit torrent questions...
Post by: macroint on February 19, 2005, 09:29:04 AM
Once the torrent is created, do I need to keep the shn folder or can I go ahead and delete it...?

Is it considered poor BT etiquette to create a single torrent that contains both the opening band and the headliner? Seems like the easiest approach and a good way to keep them together.

first, you do need to keep the folder to seed the music from....the torrent just hashes the files, but it still reads the data from the shns or flacs that are in the folder

second, i think its up to the seeder.  i would do it seperate, but i've seen it done together.  probably depends on the band too.  who is it?

It was more a generic question...not thinking about doing it with anything I've got yet. But thanks...
