Hi,

I’ve got a file that I torrented (Linux distro .mkv).

My goal is to seed that file again. I do not have the original torrent file anymore because I broke my server (multiple times) and lost data.

Is there a tool that searches for the right torrent? The tool should create a hash and compare the file’s hash with all the hashes of all the linux torrents from the sites I use. That’s at least how I imagine such a tool would work.

I got the torrent from a good private tracker and I was able to redownload the torrent file for that file but others were from public sources I can’t find.

    Your better off looking on the sites you are on and going through your history and redownloading the torrent file and have your client save it in the same place where the file is on your HD. It’ll verify the file and reseed. You cannot recreate the original torrent file from the files that were in the torrent the best you candko is create a new torrent file to distribute the file. Which isn’t what you want to do…
