Given a folder containing .torrent files S, and a second folder where .torrents (possibly different) have been downloaded D, it identifies which files in S have been downloaded in D.

Further restricyions on the tracker of desired files in S can be imposed.

This is primarily aimed at facilitating torrent seeding migration from a given folder/hard drive/machine to a second folder/hard drive/machine.

Dependencies:

• torrentparse by mohanraj-r which is supposed to be installed. (my fork in case of unevenness).
• pandas, as the set of torrent files is memorized in a python dataframe and thereby queried.

Typical use:

You have an hard drive where a number of torrents have been downloaded and are currently seeded.

One day, you need to migrate this hard drive to a second machine which will handle the seeding from now on.

In order to get on with the seeding, you need to add to the torrent client the .torrent files referring to the downloaded files in the disk.

In the original machine you certainly have a folder where all the .torrent have been cached, hence you need to select all the .torrent files you actually need.

Moreover, you might need to consider just the .torrent referring to given trackers or so.

This small application allows you to do so easily.

• UI is at the moment done via modification of three strings in the main part of the script. This has to be changed with a standard command line interaction.
