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:
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?
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?
I would recommend considering Fopnu, Soulseek, ed2k, and DC++ as alternatives for sharing. It’s only opening the program, choosing the folders to seed and that’s it.
I haven’t been able to share much on torrent because I run into memory issues but on those programs I’ve been able to share a lot, specially in nicotine+ I’ve been able to share all 160 TB with it being as lightweight as ever. And of course I feel safer sharing without a VPN on there since I’ve never heard anyone complain about legal issues.

What reasons are there to change into those? I have been torrenting for such a long time it would be lowkey weird to vhange for no reason.
What are the advantages presented by those?

For me the best is ed2k without locking files (soulseek) or good hubs hard to find (DC++).
man, I remember downloading a movie for a week on ed2k in the 90s on dialup only to discover it was scat porn lol
