9 years ago To make sure I understand the request correctly, can you please compare it with my example and maybe give a counter example.
Example: You have downloaded the Pioneer One season pack from http://vodo.net/download/torrent/127 (it has 6 episodes and a few small files).
- The episodes have been renamed to something that does not match the original name
- One of the episodes went missing
- One episode is corrupted
- All the episodes NOT missing still have the original filesize
- The small files are gone
- (optional but I think this is a good enforcement) All files have their original file extension
The directory listing might look like this:
- Pioneer one (folder)
- E1.mkv (file, original filesize, uncorrupted)
- E2.mkv (file, original filesize, uncorrupted)
- E4.mkv (file, original filesize, corrupted)
- E5.mkv (file, original filesize, uncorrupted)
- E6.mkv (file, original filesize, uncorrupted)
Episode 3 is the missing file.
AutoTorrent should then be able to ensure episode 1-2, 4-6 are the correct episodes even though one is corrupted and their names are messed up.

Most old content and content that has been curated in to a Library has been renamed, subtracted from, and added to.
To use autotorrent on these files, it would be necessary to check the contents in full using piece hashes. Worst-case scenario, some files are missing or some of the data within the files is missing, but if there is a peer who has the 3% that you are missing, and you have the other 97%, then both could have 100% by 'seeding' the incomplete torrent.
