Enable different extensions being added as alternate source

Post by Cyborg » 2004-08-26 20:40

Hi...

When I download a .mpg file I can't add .mpeg files as alternate sources because dc thinks it's a totally different file. Same with .avi and .divx.... Some stupid people even renames .avi to .mpg, but it's still the same file (according to TTH, size and filename).

Please use the TTH instead of filetype when checking if the search match is the same as the queue item.

Thanks.

Download Queue > Right Click > Search by TTH :)

And if it's autosearching...
changelog from .402 wrote:* Matching by name removed for queue items with a TTH root (for autosearches)
