<p dir="auto">Typically I check if it's still being requested/downloaded. If not, not going to bother. Then I check my local drives, the easiest to retrieve and reseed. After that it's a pain, that means it's been cataloged and archived on one of my other drives, which usually cleans up file names, searches for dupes, and moves them to a categorized directory structure. At this point, I don't think I can help the re-seed requester. But sometimes, I can piece back together the torrent. Not often.</p>

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.</p>
<p dir="auto">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 <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/ianfontinell" aria-label="Profile: ianfontinell">@<bdi>ianfontinell</bdi></a>) 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.</p>
