This is a known limitation. web seeds currently only allow redirects of the 
entire directory, not individual files to different locations.

currently this is done by replacing the web seed entry in the torrent and 
retrying. i.e. the whole directory of files still needs to be intact for this 
to work. supporting redirects of individual files is a bit more complicated, 
the mapping of file index to new url would have to be remembered across 
connections and honored.

patches are welcome!
