Title: is it possible to ammend a setlist, etc after a source has been up'd @ LMA?
Post by: macdaddy on December 08, 2006, 08:19:49 PM

i am the original recordist/uploader and i would be the one loggin in to make the changes (if possible)..?

for example, i would be able to upload recordings where the setlist is still partially unknown to me, 'cos i would be able to ammend it at a later date...?

Depends on where you upload.

LMA - easy to change at any time.
Dime - if you load the info file only into the Info File field, you can change it easily without hosing the torrent.
eTree - don't know of a way to edit the torrent without having to start over

In general, you can't modify the files at all after starting to seed via BT.  For BT sites, I usually include what I know in the torrent, and then just update the comments section of the listing to reflect updated information like set list, etc.

Yes, you can do it easily. Takes a few steps, but here ya go:

1. Go to "Edit item".
2. Click "Item manager".
3. Click "checkout".
4. Upload the new txt file to the ftp address/folder provided.
5. Click the link when you're done.

Presto change-o, all fixed. o.
