#0: The answer should theoretically work if the file hosted on torrent and Direct Download Link (DDL) is same, i.e. No Differences in Hash [NDH]. I'm considering three scenarios. The rests are left as an exercise for the reader. Follow the procedure below:
Scenario 1
Your torrent has only one file and DDL is a single link with same file-type too.
If the DDL (ending with .mkv/zip/avi/exe
etc.) has no waiting mechanism or obscure URL (like Google/One Drive, Dropbox, etc.), then you can burn the download link to a seedbox like Burnbit. Copy the URL of DDL and paste it in Burnbit. The process is straightforward and mentioned there step-by-step. Let it process and there you go, a new torrent has been created. Download the torrent file and merge the trackers into your original torrent (automatically done by some torrent clients once the file is opened).
#1: Note that this new torrent might be having a new torrent and file name. So before merging, change your old torrent's name and file name into the new one. Also choose recheck the torrent
in your client for New Torrent [NT] so that, it can resume from where OT left your files.
Scenario 2
There are multiples files in the Original Torrent (OT) and multiple DDLs are available.
If such is the case, then after accounting #0, burn all your DDLs into Burnbit. Burnbit only allows single file burning, so you have to repeat the steps for all the DDLs and download the torrent files. Open the new torrents and specify the Custom Download Location (CDL) to where OT downloaded its files, to each of them. It is possible that the files are not stored directly at CDL but one level after it (a new folder). Consider the file tree in this and this torrent to understand more.
#2: Repeat #1. If all goes well, you'll be having your OT downloaded successfully.
Scenario 3
The OT is an archive and has single/multiple files inside it. Your DDL is single/multiple links but is not like final OT archive.
Ascertain #0 somehow. Our goal is to collect all the DDLs under one hood and archive them remotely. The requisites are:
- a web hosting space with enough size to store your DDLs,
- file upload with unlimited size or at least enough to upload biggest DDL in one go into your hosting space,
- FTP access with remote upload to hosted domain,
- Multi upload file sharing website like Multiupload.bz (MU).
Google for them, and you can find many free hosting schemes that can offer you such features (1-3) and setup finishes in few minutes. Do read their FAQ and Terms and Conditions (T&C) before using them to avoid account suspension or legal trouble.
Once you have your hosting space setup with domain and FTP credentials ready, head to MU, create an account, log in, feed the FTP details into the desired format here in required FTP field. Do check that your FTP is working with correct permissions via an FTP client like FileZilla. Now,
- save the details and head to home page for file upload.
- Choose
Remote Upload
and enter DDL link (one link only).
- Check
FTP Upload
amongst many options below the URL field and uncheck the rest.
- Click
Upload
and let it do the processing.
If all goes well, your DDL will be downloaded remotely into your hosted space. Check through FTP client/CPanel that it went well. If yes, then repeat 2-4 for all other DDLs.
Now that we have all the DDLs under one hood, lets make it similar to the OT by renaming and structuring the files and the file tree. Latest CPanel (web hosting) comes with file archive and extract feature. Archive your files the way OT has. I'm aware only of .zip
support. Next step is to just burn this file into Burnbit. To burn it requires its URL which can be obtained by opening your domain (from web hosting) into a web browser, browse to your files there and copy the link of the new file by right-click -> copy link location
. Your hosted domain may look like this.
Burn this copied link into Burnbit and now you have a fresh torrent at your disposal. Keep in mind #1 for successful torrent download.
#3: It must be noted that except the optional FTP client and the Burnbit torrent files, exceptionally nothing new is required to download and everything is done remotely, thus, saving the questioner's bandwidth.
#4: The methods possibly won't work with download links that requires user interaction (time wait, captcha, etc.) or with obscure links that do not have certain filetype at the end of URL.
