      I’ve been a member for 11 years (😀). In that time I’ve had torrent clients crash and corrupt their databases, hardware failures, I’ve changed clients, etc. This means I’ve lost the running torrents and .torrent files. I store the content separately from my BitTorrent clients, I’ve been lucky and almost never lost a video.

      I have several thousand videos downloaded from here that I’m not seeding. I’d like to find a way to seed all those old videos. I’m a software engineer, if I can get access to all the .torrent files I can find matching videos ((by name + length) + md5sum sometimes) and start seeding them again.

      I’d be happy to open source whatever I write so others can take advantage. I’ll likely use Transmission or Deluge, they both have an API. I’ll bundle it as a container so anyone can run it. I wouldn’t re-distribute the .torrent files so there would need to be a way for other people to access them if this is something the admins want to enable.

      Let me know, thanks!
