Question about torrents for you guys..

I have a file that's downloading suuuuuuuuuuper slow and it appears only one seeder. If someone else begins seeding the same file somewhere else, do i have to quit the current torrent and leach onto the new torrent? Or does it automatically connect? Will my partial file begin redownloading at the same point because it's the exact same file?
If someone else starts seeding the file through the same tracker, then you don't need to do anything, you will connect to both seeds.

If someone else creates a new torrent that uses a different tracker, and you want to use that instead, then you will have to stop your current download and grab the new torrent. If you set the download location to the same place as the old one then it should continue from where you left off.

I don't know if you can have two torrents writing to the same file at the same time.
