Agreed, it's cool that you can reverify a torrent from 3 years ago and make sure the data on your disk isn't lost or damaged.

- account42 1y agoThat's useful if you did not prepare for that eventuality. But if you do want to store data long-term it's better to generate error-correcting codes like PAR2 so that you can actually recover partial errors without having to rely on seeders being available - and when you do that you no longer need the torrent for verification.
