Default can i join two torrents which have same content?

hi i am dwnloding a torrent which i has reached 99.6% but now there are no seeders and i am stuck.
the same torrent is avalible on other sites and they have many seeders.
1. so is thee a way i can join the torrent of the other site with my 99.6%
status??

2. can i merge the new torrent with my existing one.the name of the torrent on both sites is exactly the same,and the number of files and size is also same.

and also n general if a torrent is avalible on 4 sites and for example there are
10,15,20,30 seeders for that torrent on the 4 sites respectively.now if i dwnlod a torrent from the 1st site i get 10 seeders only.and if i dwnlod from the 4th i get 30 seeders.is there a way i can merge the torrent from all 4 sites so that i get 75 seeders(10+15+20+30) at once.

You can copy the trackers from that site and paste them in the trackers list of the bittorrent software.

^^That won't work if the piece size is different in the 2 torrent files.

Just remove the first torrent from the queue, and start up the new torrent file. Choose to save it in the exact location of the first torrent and it will pick up from where it left off. You will lose a bit of data in the process (incomplete pieces) but not too much.

You are right but that worked in my case.I revived atleast 2-3 downloads by that method.Though some trackers were rejected.

so keep searching for your file or just work with those which are available.

BTW.It will work with that cd-key also(purely speculated situation)

The new torrent will just ignore the txt file and download the main file only.
