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?

  1. Not as far as I know, but you should be able to find it based on the folder or file name relatively easily. Btdig.com might be of help here.

  2. Correct, assuming the files match. I’ve done it a number of times when setting up Transmission on a new device while I still had my files and the .torrent files or magnet links for them.
