Our tracker does check info hashes to see if there is a duplicate so there's a good chance he's providing extra information and things of that nature to make it better.
From the looks of it, even if he just simply downloaded it and repackaged it, they've done a better job on the information provided than that of the original.

The hash is different because the person who uploaded those torrents on Box changed the name of the file folders in the those torrents and since chunlee's are just re-posts of those they have different hashes than Khymer's originals but the same as Box.

In the end, box users are doing _exactly_ what chunlee is doing, taking someone else's bulk torrent or some group's entire release, and making yet another torrent from it. I can't see why box users would be complaining about chunlee's method when it's the same they use. |
1. When I was referring to official releases I was clearly talking about Khymer's torrents on DAT, not anything on Box.(And there are several groups that use Box as there official BT tracker like a4e and AHQ but it's not really relevant to this topic)
2. No, chunlee is not doing the same thing as the people on Box. They are downloading files from here and creating new torrents on Box(different hash, no DA tracker). chunlee is taking those torrents and adding DA(and other) tracker(s) to them. They still have a working Box tracker in them. Do you see the distinction? He doesn't need to seed them because they are already seeded on Box and if you download his torrents you are really downloading from Box users either directly(through the Box tracker in his torrents) or indirectly(through DHT or other peers who are connected to DaT
and Box). Do you get it now? Or do you really think someone with DSL can seed 500GB worth of torrents or try to seed several multi-gigabyte complete anime series at one time. I doubt if even a Japanese user with 100Mb symmetrical fiber would attempt something like that. A little common sense is all I ask.
If you guys don't mind chunlee flooding the tracker with (mostly)re-posted torrents then that's fine with me but
they are (mostly)re-posts not new local torrents.
