Comment 6 for bug 70423

This is a major pain.
The Windows version of Bittorrent knows everything it needs to resume a torrent.
Isn't there some way to painlessly get similar behavior ?

If I have two different instances of bittorrent both asking for a meta-file, even presuming I know what they want is a .torrent file,
how do I know which .torrent they are looking for ?
What if I have 10 .torrents in a directory, but only 3 represent active downloads,
What happens if I pick the wrong one ?

If I am downloading something that took 3 days so far and something interrupts the process, I really do nto want to have to start over
