I have lots of torrents downloaded through transmission, which I would like to continue seeding through i2p via the XD client, without having to re-download the files. How do I “move” my seeding to i2p? Do I have to upload the torrents to an i2p torrent tracker, or can I avoid that?
Would you recommend this in the first place?
Sorry for the stupid question folks, help is appreciated, even if not specific to these clients. Thanks in advance!
Doing so would help with the download speeds for other users.
P.S I’ve enever used XD. So I can’t help you out there, but it seems like a very bare-bones torrent client. qbittorrent recently added support for it but if you’re running a headless server, XD doesn’t seem like a bad option. Github says it has no DHT support? Not sure if that’s the best option, but good luck with it.
I’ll try qbittorrent too, just I was attracted to XD as it only supports i2p and it therefore claims it can have no ip leaks (ik that probably doesn’t mean qbittorrent is insecure). I guess the only way would be to upload to the torrent tracker, thanks!

Correct. To be fair both XD and qBittorrent don’t support DHT over I2P so they’re kind of on the same level there. I think (?) neither support PEX over I2P either though I’m not 100% sure on XD about that.

There are open trackers on I2P e.g http://opentracker.skank.i2p/ and http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/ both trackers don’t have a search interface though, so probably people won’t find your torrents unless they are very popular. You can upload the torrents to http://tracker2.postman.i2p which has a good interface.
