Every single video I download gets passed through Handbrake and, if larger, reduced to 720p because on average I can cut the filesize by over 50%. I simply cannot afford to buy enough storage to keep everything in its original format. As such I delete all reseed requests without even looking at them.
What I could do is upload a new version of each request in my post-Handbrake state (assuming I didn't delete it for not scratching that itch), but before I could do that I'd have to look closely at the request and also search the whole site to ensure I wouldn't be uploading something that would fall into the definition of a duplicate. If it turned out to be viable, I'd then have to go and collate all the files into a suitable folder structure, create thumbnails for it all (which is much easier now thanks to @ianfontinell) and then create the new upload. It's more work than one might think, and far easier for someone else to do if they still have the original files.
