So I downloaded this Pre-Installed game from a respected torrent site. But whenever I run the game, the bottom 5 files get updated/changed apparently. And this torrent goes to the error section in Qbittorrent. Now I have to delete the exe and other small files from my folder and redownload them again through this torrent else this torrent wouldn't seed.

So I would not be able to seed those bottom 5 files unless I have a completely fresh install of the game ? and that means, I either have to unselect those bottom 5 files from my torrent client or create a copy of the game in another Folder so the exe and other python files don't get updated as I play the game ?

It’s 1 gig, you can spare that right?

The guy above me said to copy the entire folder somewhere else instead of Hardlinking, did you miss this ?

Sorry, I checked the wrong column.

Still it's 1.67 gig, a 32 gig hard drive costs peanuts, probably less than you spend in electricity keeping your computer running to seed torrents while you're not actively using it.

Idk if you can even get a 32 GB hard drive anymore. I can only find 64 GB drives for around $14
