Re: Info on posting torrents?

It is usually good practice to name the checksum and text file with the bandname-YYYY-MM-DD with md5 or txt after it. That way, in case the text file gets separated from the folder, you can easily tell where it belongs. And, actually, it's a good thing to do with coverart also (although put front or back after the bandname-YYY-MM-DD).

I think md5 summer adds a couple of extra lines to the beginning of the md5 file that says "created by md5summer" or something like that and so you need to open it up in a text file, delete that line(s) and then it should verify the files. And you only need to put the contents of the VIDEO_TS file in the md5 checksum. It's OK if you do the text file and artwork, but it's the VIDEO_TS folder contents that we are interested in.
