Aren't the files matched by checksums though? I.e. you have a checksum and that's how tracker knows what you want?

I guess GP meant that torrent client could e.g. pad a file on disk (safest option) and store that metadata along with original hash. Hashes would not change over the torrent network, but would be different in other networks
