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?

It depends on your client, but yes, it can be possible to recreate a folder/file/naming structure with the exact same files, load the torrent without starting it, force recheck, and then you may have some metadata type files to wait to download before seeding, but you’d be helping the network a lot.

Edit, but you need to find a torrent that has the exact same files even if it’s not the one you originally downloaded from.
