Request to add new mode, or perhaps modify "Normal" mode
I was reading the working modes on the main readme and realized that there is a particular use case that would be very useful in being added. Some trackers, for some reason, have slightly altered root folder and/or filenames, but will otherwise hash check as an exact match.
The strings are only a few characters off, for example tracker A's torrent will download as 'hello.there.2005.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.AAC-BoldOne.mkv' and tracker B's will download as 'hello.there.2005.1080p.WEBDL.x264.AAC-BoldOne.mkv'
The dash is missing from WEB-DL in tracker B's download. I understand the hash_size working mode could be used against this, but seeing as these strings only have a small hamming distance of differences, it could be worked into the Normal mode in order to avoid hash checking the files.
Thank you for reading.
The original reason for not using edit distance was that "Episode 2" is 1 edit from "Episode 3" - if it all came down to space characters, then we might just strip them.
The current algorithm is https://github.com/JohnDoee/autotorrent/blob/develop/autotorrent/db.py#L284-L288 - your suggestion might as well just be stripping all spacers and turn them into
hello.there.2005.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.AAC-BoldOne.mkv -> hellothere20051080pwebdlx264aacboldone.mkv hello.there.2005.1080p.WEBDL.x264.AAC-BoldOne.mkv -> hellothere20051080pwebdlx264aacboldone.mkv
