WebTorrent can't do that at the moment, but it'd be a nice feature. |

Fair enough, I'll have to think on how I want to move forward here. Thanks for the clarification. |

No issue, just a question. And this may be based in my ignorance of torrents in general, but:
For the application I'm building, it'd be preferable to rename files after downloading, but continue to seed them. I know that in some graphical BitTorrent clients it's possible to rename a file and continue seeding it, but I'm not sure how I'd go about specifying changed filenames via webtorrent. I see the option for setting the download directory, but that's not quite the same thing. Is there some magic sauce I'm missing here? Would webtorrent search that directory for content-identical files rather than searching by filename?
