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!
