You could always try “force recheck” in the torrent application once you finish playing. It’s likely that whatever changes are happening to those files only occurs while the game is open

Yeah I've tried that, it didn't work, I even tried restarting the system before doing a force recheck to make sure they're not open in the background but it still doesn't work.

You could hard link the files that don’t change to a new folder, then copy the ones that do change

I was thinking of doing this too as I mentioned in my other comment, this seems the only option.

It's PornoLab, they're semi private and I've got a solid amount of buffer, but I do wanna seed those small but essential files because I know I'm probably gonna be the only seeder of this after a few years

Is this similar to hardlinking and insta move cause I use Windows ?

I use a cross-seed program that does something similar, it creates a copy of files without it taking twice the space on the disk.

So should I just create another folder and hardlink the game and lib folder there, and copy the rest of the small files into that folder, so the original torrent directory is undisturbed whenever I open the exe in the newly created folder ?

Selfish asshole

Notify me if you find them, I avoid game torrents because of this unpacking shit, I've got Fiber connection and don't need to save any bandwidth.

But because all the big uploaders love compressing the fuck outta games, it just takes up 1.5 - 2 times the space on my disk, can't delete the torrent because I want to seed too.

I believe some uploader on cs.rin.ru uploads pre-installed game torrents as I read about them in a comment. But I wasn't able to find them.

All this has made me switch do DDL sites for games.

Switch to ProtonVPN, they don't have any problem with Torrents and allow unlimited bandwidth usage. Windscribe can go fuck themselves

If you have the subscription active then connect your account with Kemono.su it'll automatically archive all the stuff and will mirror it.

But if your subscription has ended then upload all the files on forums like Anime-sharing or F95zone.to

Also, I don't do moral policing like the other guy in the comment.
