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.

    From public trackers, should be as easy as creating a new torrent with some popular trackers out there. The file you have is the same as others so they should be able to find you via p2p, I think? Or if you have qBittorrent, it has a torrent search function, maybe the original torrent is in there.
