Thing is that the split files are generated and updated completely automatically on the servers so I wouldn't be aware of the exact folder structure of each; I suspect however that the update folders would need to replace the respective images in the main megapack folder.

To be honest, the easier way to solve this would be to make sure that all the images are in one folder and one folder only, as there's a fair few things that could go wrong in trying to maintain the images in the folder structure I believe you have at your end.

But if you post the screenshots later on I'll do my best to help when I get home from work


Couldn’t get it to work adding a config file into each folder so I’ve bitten the bullet and deleted all folders (need the space!) and have started the torrent download! Hopefully it’ll finish before fm20 is released! Cheers for your help

Without seeing all the contents of all the folders and with all the good will in the world, I've a bit hamstrung in what I can deduce of the setup at your end. There's a reason why the whole megapack is in one folder, after all

Can you give me screenshots of all the folders please? Ideally showing clearly how many images are in each folder (you don't have to show all the images [in fact, please don't!] - but I would need to know how many there are).

You have extracted the downloaded files, by the way, right?


Thanks, I’ll take a screenshot after work. Essentially though the folders are all in the right place (I’ve sampled moving a single file and config file into the correct folder and that works fine) but there are 13 ‘sortitoutsi-xx’ folders within the correct folder,each of these containing a ‘faces’ folder with all of the files within these. Hope this makes some sense but I will send a screenshot later there are roughly 10k files in most of the folders I believe with less in the update folders but again I will confirm later.

Appreciate your help

Adding a config file to each individual folder should theoretically do the trick, as long as you change the interface preferences as per the screenshot in the OP.

The issue would come when you download update packs, as you would have to manually copy/paste the respective files into the correct folder. I would recommend having all the images in one folder anyway. It really shouldn't take that long to move images from folders which are in the same path.

How many images in total do you have across all the folders?

P.S. The good thing about the torrents is that they don't have to be downloaded in one go (in fact, they're designed not to be downloaded in one go!). So you can just leave it downloading overnight or whenever you're not using the internet, and it'll eventually get there. Up to you, naturally.


Thanks for your reply!

I attempted moving all of the files into a central folder last night but I only managed to move one of the folders worth of files (10k ish files) in about 4 hours! Whereas moving the entire folder takes a matter of seconds...

I’m not sure how many files in total but I have downloaded all files and all update files so I believe 200k+

Could the fact that I have the individual update folders within the same faces folder be causing the issue do you think?

Thanks

hello!

I’ve downloaded the individual files onto my MacBook and extracted however I’ve extraced all of the files individually so I have 13 separate folders. Apologies if this has already been fixed elsewhere but I couldn’t find anything.

Is there any way to make this work without manually extracting/merging all of the files into one?(I’ve tried but it is taking a LOT of time!)

I’ve tried adding a config file into each individual folder but still no joy.

My internet is really slow so I would struggle to download the full torrent.

Thank you!
