partial reseed?
-
Is the a way to reseed just a few files out of a torrent without it trying to redownload the full torrent?
I downloaded 1 video out of a torrent that had hundreds. If i got a request, how can i reseed only that file i have? Because if i try to redownload the torrent it will try to make me download all those files.
Im currently running Vuze 5.7.7.0

@Lancej Add the torrent to your client as you would if you were going to reseed the full thing, but before you start it go in and select the files you're not going to seed and select the option to not download them. Varies by client, but in BiglyBT it's under the Priority heading in the right-click menu.

@frostycab oh ok so basically the same way that i cherry picked that file i would to the same for reseeding.

@Lancej Pretty much, yeah. If you originally selected files to not download the torrent would still have moved into your seeding area once those were done. You would be seeding just those files, so in effect you ARE seeding, but you're not a "seeder" as sites like this define the term. After all, you're still seeding files even if you're still downloading them as long as they are generating upload traffic too.

@Lancej But if, after you downloaded the file(s) you moved them somewhere else other than where your torrent client normally downloads to, don't forget to ensure you've pointed to the correct location.
I normally first make sure the torrent doesn't start automatically, then do a "Force Recheck" so the torrent confirms it sees the file(s) you're trying to seed, and only then "start" it.

@Kevin4fm Yea i will usually remove them from Vuze, rename them and stick them in a catalog folder so my Stash can pull Metadata. ok ill give that a shot. thank you guys for the help.
