I tried everything... doesnt work... its so complicated now, is it me or it was easier few months ago ?

If you think about what using a torrent really is, then re-seeding shouldn't be all THAT complicated.

Remember, tho: a torrent file is a DESCRIPTOR of content (including a checksum to ensure validity). Whether you have created the .torrent or not, the fact is: if you add a torrent to your client, and the content is ALREADY THERE, you will immediately begin to SEED that torrent.

Now: already there has to be an exact match! All the folder and file names have to match, and all of the file-part-checksums have to match! But if the contents check out, re-downloading a torrent is a re-seed!

Mind you: because this is a private tracker, and therefore your ID has to be added to every seed/leech activity (for accountability), you actually re-seed your uploaded torrents!

• When you upload a new torrent, the tracker builds a NEW .torrent file (not the one you uploaded) that you have to use to re-seed your torrent! Otherwise, it's never seeded to begin with.
• Because you're downloading a new .torrent file for content you already have, you're techincally re-seeding your upload!

If you're still having issues, contact the HELP DESK. Staffers there are usually helpful!

If I have downloaded multiple collections of files, eg "Mix 1", "Mix 2" and "Mix3", and then I've combined all the files into a single folder on my local PC (eg "Mix Collection"), can I still reseed one of those torrents in the future?

So I would download the torrent again, then point it to the entire "Mix Collection" folder, then confirm all the files of that original collection… Would most torrent apps ignore the unknown files, realise everything has been downloaded, and then start to seed?

Yes.

If you download a new torrent that matches exact content you already have, you can point it to your existing files in order to share, but torrents with more than one file will have their own folder, and some Torrent programs might not let you specify a different folder. In that case, you can make a new folder that matches the new torrent's settings (and also make sure the file names and file sizes are exactly the same).

So I would download the torrent again, then point it to the entire "Mix Collection" folder, then confirm all the files of that original collection… Would most torrent apps ignore the unknown files, realise everything has been downloaded, and then start to seed?

Once you have received a re-seed request, how can you indicate that you are re-seeding?

Find the file in your computer [hard drive/internal/external]
or the location where you had downloaded before if you still have,
download the torrent file from the system message that was sent to you,
copy the torrent folder/file name if it has been change,
relocate and copy if the name has change and rename,
then force re-check it will seed if the client is present or there are active peers…

BTW here is the answer from above mention by one of the staff...

Thanks! I have a question. Based on your instructions it does not seem possible to rename torrent files and reseed them, correct? My torrent library is very organized. But, people's torrent naming on this site varies widely and… just aren't useful when you have a large download collection.

For example: If were to download a torrent for the film Splash Tops, I'd receive a file named "Splash Tops VHSRip" at which I'd rename it to something I could actually search for on my computer like "[Mack Studios] Splash Tops (Aaron Austin, Blade Thompson, Brett Ford, Chip Matthews, Derek Masters, Jake Andrews, Tom Katt, Mark Steel)". The file could be completely unaltered itself, but since I changed the filename I cannot reseed. Has there every been an initiative to encourage a common naming structure?

I would like that, too, but it seems impossible even to enforce less complicated things like no duplicate torrents or adequate descriptions.

You can still reseed, just have to change the name of the file back to exactly what it was.
