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 ?
Sure ok. These filesystems are certainly superior in the ways you’ve described, but unless you were already considering changing to an fs like that, it’s probably not an appropriate solution to this simple problem.
Fair, but it’s something painless do to next time someone might be installing a new system or migrating disks. Until not too long ago I didn’t know about these kind of options, so just knowing is a good first step even without further action
Yeah I agree with you here, your comment definitely has helped me finally make the switch (mentally, at least) to btrfs. I was a slow hold-out on ext4, but my next install I’ll go the butter route.
