Hey I'm new and I searched the forums but couldn't find anything on this.
I use Azureus for torrent sharing and recently I've been having a lot of problems with the same error of my files being "corrupted", followed by Azureus re-downloading the torrent I already have. I've read on other forums that itunes automatically rewrites the id3 tags, which causes the files names to be inconsistent. The torrent community I'm a part of requires users to maintain good ratios. Because Azureus keeps re-downloading the files, I'm in jeopardy of having my ratio lowered too much and getting booted.
Is there any way to stop itunes from rewriting the tags?
 
iTunes rewrites the ID3 tags specifically to make piracy more difficult. If you are up/downloading copyright free file (i.e. your own recordings) I suggest you use a different MP3 encoder.

If you are up/downloading for the purposes of piracy, you'll get no help here.
