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:
- The bot identifies the title (TMDB lookup, just like an upload)
- It searches the tracker for a torrent matching your file
- If found, it downloads the
.torrentfrom the tracker into the archive (<archive>/<TRACKER>/) - 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".
