Yes, this won't be useful for speed.
But it will be useful for health and appearance of health.
So a torrent that has no seeds because it's missing "RARBG_DO_NOT_MIRROR.exe" can be filled in quickly and have proper seed info.
Also large seasons can be filled in. They get corrupted at later episodes because people will prioritise the first episodes then the seeds can jump.
So anyone filling in the later episodes through single episodes torrents might repair the season torrent.
It'll allow over lap between torrents only differentiated be a missing RARBG.txt if they are both fragmented.
There's always been talk of allowing a torrent to have files added to it. It's be interesting to see if this might be useful client side to do this in a Claytons way.
Personally I don't think it's useful for Linux isos. Not sure on this. Do Linux isos get unhealthy?
- em-bee 6y agopatch releases, especially security patches would only have a small number of changes that might allow me to take a full new release but only update the changes to the release i already have. but it would take some handcrafting to make sure the new files are at the end of the ISO so everything else stays in place. technically this should be possible since ISO should allow for adding files given that it was designed for write-once media.
