<![CDATA[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

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.

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.

Varies by client, but in BiglyBT it's under the Priority heading in the right-click menu.
