Reseed

-reseed puts content you already have on disk back into seeding, using torrents that already exist on the tracker — nothing new is created.

How it works

unit3dup -reseed -f "/path/folder"
unit3dup -reseed -scan "/path/library"

For every video content found in the path:

  1. The bot identifies the title (TMDB lookup, just like an upload)
  2. It searches the tracker for a torrent matching your file
  3. If found, it downloads the .torrent from the tracker into the archive (<archive>/<TRACKER>/)
  4. It hands it to the torrent client, which resumes seeding using your local files

With multiple trackers (MULTI_TRACKER list or -mt) the round is repeated for each one.

What it's for

  • Resume seeding releases you had already uploaded, after switching client or machine
  • Seed existing releases you already own identical files for
  • Migrate across OSes: torrents created on Linux reseed on Windows and vice versa

Video content only

Reseed works on movies and TV shows; documents and games are not involved.

Messy titles

If the folder name isn't enough to identify the title, add -notitle "Real Title".
