Seeding Already Downloaded Torrent

[Downloader123]

Hi,

Well i tried it once and it works but i'm not sure if it's against the rules for private trackers ....... so i downloaded a movie file from TB (torrentbytes) ...maintaining a ratio there is very easy cause of all the seeders ...so after i had seeded it to above 1 ....i deleted it's torrent file ... downloaded the torrent of that movie from TD .... when i added to the torrent client it performed the hash check since the torrent was already downloaded from TB and it was exactly the same torrent with same number of rar files and names it immediately started seeding .......... so from TD i downloaded nothing but seeded back like 500 mb .............

Logically i think this should be ok cause i'm not sharing some website's torrent on others ......i'm just using a torrent downloaded on my computer to seed to other trackers ........

So is it ok and if yes the next question is can i seed the same file to 2 different trackers simultaneously .....

[maverick_andy]

more than OK. U can seed it boy

[NPAX1]

yes you can seed the same files to more than one tracker at once.

[Downloader123]

thanks guys ... this will really help me maintaing my ratios ........

[1000possibleclaws]

you can seed at both places at once, don't even wait until you reach one at TB. dl the TD torrent file right away

Almost every tracker allows this

[BOOM]

Some bt sites don`t like to see u seeding torrents downloaded from other trackers.

^True dat. Can't generalize with this trick.

[ProActive]

its allowed and not against rules.

its very usefule in case of torrents marked as "scene"
Cos they are excatly same in each tracker.
so in SCC as there is free leech now for 0day - leech from it and seed on TD or TL and see ur ratio ^^^

As mentioned, some allow it and some don't, you will find the smaller the site the more strict they are in not allowing this, you will even get a warning at some places, but the big sites can even promote this activity as it speeds up the distribution to their members.

If the torrent is a scene release.
You download two torrents from two different sites.
Verify you files on two different torrents.
If passed,seeding this two torrent at the same time.
(unless the site don't allow this,please read FAQ/RULES carefully)

Even if the site don't allow, you can be a uploader at different site to upload new torrent (Some sites will allow everyone to upload,some are not)

My opinion is that you should wait to reach 1:1 at the first tracker b4 adding other announces. The reason is that often, the same files have a slight diff. When this occurs the new added tracker starts seeding but the initial gives an error, so u will screw up ur ratio.

Happens with utorrent and transmission.

Best way around that is to watch during the hash check. Once it notices that the files are different for some reason or another stop it. Select don't download for those files and then start seeding.

Partial seeding is still seeding.

I have used this to build up ratio on sites that its hard for a home user to seed at. Works very well, but as most others have said make sure its ok on both trackers that you are doing this type of activity.

Sometimes download a sample of a movie torrent and you'll be having a partial seeding. It's great! x6 of Sample Size. :D Goodluck! ;)
