Thing is, I have the batman series from the 60s that I downloaded a long time ago. I deleted the torrent but I want to seed again because I remember it having like 1 or 2 people seeding and I have better internet nowadays, I have two questions on this:

  1. Is there a way to find the torrent directly from metadata on the files or some other way instead of having to search on sites until I find it?

  2. If I were to find a different upload of the same files, can I just verify the files I have and start uploading directly without having to download them first?

    If you find a torrent with the exact same files, yes you can seed without downloading first. What I do it’s to start the new torrent so it create the files. Pause the torrent. Overwrite the created files with the files I already have. Then verify the torrent. And finally resume it to seed.
