For a video that posted by the KTR scene group, was used by both RARBG and N1C to create torrents (V1 format).

now both of it are stuck at 90%+ due to age, is there a way to swap their data ~~to bring the progress to 100%~~?

thanks.

If they're supposed to be binary-identical data (same file checksums), you can use BiglyBTs Swarm Merging feature - without manually copying (which isn't as reliable due to the start/end of the files not bordering on the chunk boundaries.

If they've been modified in any way though, this won't work. However, you might be able to use its Swarm Discovery to find other torrents with the same data and complete with Swarm Merging.
