Roland may have recompressed the files; the torrent hash was
different,
and it was in 512K blocks rather than the 256K blocks of the
official
torrent (which may also change the hash?). Also nobody is
seeding his
torrents (maybe the tracker entry
https://tracker.mxchange.org/announce
in his torrent files doesn't match the URL he suggested of
https://tracker.mxchange.org:443/announcement).

Yeah, I seem to have missed the original email... I did not get
any impression that he recreated the torrents.
But I added his tracker announce to the official torrents I'm
seeding and it works fine.

Aha, I see now - he had a list of torrents on his site that were
unofficial.
I also see that while I added his announce URL to the official
torrents, and my client seems to report that they are working, it's
possible that it's really not working as I see zero seeds (including
myself), and zero peers.
Yeah, sorry. It could actually work if Roland added our official
torrents to his tracker rather than creating new ones. I guess that
didn't occur to him?
