sync .torrents which are seeding to actual data

[das329717]

How do you guys sync what actual .torrent's are seeding and loaded vs what data still exists on the drives?

I think I have stale data laying around using wasted space where .torrents have been deleted and aren't seeding anymore.

in other words, how do you find data which resides on your HD's but the .torrent doesn't exist and the torrent client isnt seeding that data?

thanks for all answers.

i typically search through the data by hand. if you use your watch folder and the torrents are named you could simple do an ls of watch and match the torrent names to folders in your downloads directory.

Assuming you don't do autotools incantations and the like...
