How to change passkey on 12k files ?

Post by mister158 »

Hi guys, sorry for my poor english, I'm French.

I urgently need to change my passkey on 12 000 torrents in qbitorrent on windows 10 64.

I find the way to change one, using the tab tracker and dbl click in the annouce but when I try to do that on a lot of file it does'nt work, only one file is changed :(

Could you please, explain me how to do that (with a simple english please ;) )

Yeah, it's broke such that you can't change a lot of torrents' trackers at once.

Been an issue report at Github on that for probably 5 years now. :(

ok I have done it, has a barbarian directly in the file using notepad ++.

but !!!

the change is effective but if I look at one torrent, in the panel tracker, on the line of the tracker it's written : not working.

if I stop one file and relaunch, it works good but if I try to do this on the 12  000 files it does nothing :(

Editing .torrent files that way or qBitTorrent's resume files may be corrupting them due to them containing pointers which expect data at precise byte intervals which change if you add or remove even a single byte from those files.
