Seeding

I downloaded music, and want to reseed but I have occasionally changed folder names or recently started using a new torrent. Is there anyway I can reconnect my seed to the torrent I originally used, or will I need to go through the seeding process in the FAQ? I am really dumb with this stuff and screwed the seeding thing up a few times trying to figure it out. I probably don't understand the directions.

    If there's already a seed of that show, then no, do not re-upload it.

    By renaming the folder, that will cause the .torrent file hash to conflict with the folder you're sharing and it will break. If you want to seed (and you should!), you need to at least leave a copy of the original data in its original form somewhere, and point your torrent client at that so it can properly match the directory and contents with the hash in the .torrent file.

    Hope that helps!

    Yep, thanks, I'll keep the originals from now on.
