"dissaperead torrents" reupload torrents not available when searching for them

kco

I've some dead torrents which, when I look for the torrent in the tracker are not available anymore. I were available I would download the torrent and seed them from there.

I've got both, the torrent file AND the torrent "seeding" in the client.

Which are my options on those cases?
Can I simply reupload the torrent I've got? (how?)
Do I have to start from scratch loosing potential seeders?

@kco check the tracker status inside the torrent client.

If it says "unregistered torrent" or "404" that means the torrent was deleted. If you have the files you might be able to reupload them, but tha'd require you to create a new torrent file from scratch.

Although it's important to say that if it got deleted once and you reupload it, it will probably get deleted again. If you receive multiple torrent take-downs your account will be restricted, so only do it if you really need to boost your ratio.

@ianfontinell Thats what the client reports. Just to be clear, there is no way to know if its "dead" ok "killed" (by takedown) from the client side right? Because in that case, I simply will delete the torrents as you suggest.
