So first you'll want to get the torrent and download it from a tracker (obviously not the tracker you want to cross seed to)
After it has fully downloaded go back to SCC or whatever tracker you want to seed to and download the .torrent file.
You'll need to make sure the file sizes and amount of files are the same, in this case we see they are
Original downed files


Torrent files on tracker I want to cross seed to


Open it with utorrent and point it to where the files already are. Should do it automatically...

It will start a hash check like below


once finished with the hash check it may download a few Kb's of data and start seeding, as you can tell I'm seeding the same files to 4 trackers.
Sorry for the lame tut, but hope it clears it up

it was definetly not lame... it was great and well explained though screenshots...i now understand completely and i appreciate ur help...thank you verry much...

now i have one more question....will SCC ban me if i cross seed on there?

Nope, they will only ban you if you edit the file to add more tracker urls. But that isn't applicable here so you have no reason to worry about being banned.

awesome...thanks again..


just a quik review....so i download torrent file ABC from tracker 1* containing file 1 which is 2 gigs and file number 2 that contains 1 GIG

I then finish the download and start seeding..

i go to tracker SCCC and download the exact same file MEANing it contains file 1 which has 2 GIGs and file number 2 that has 1 GIG both named the same by the same release group etc..?


BUT SCC wont count my download that i downloaded right?

SCC will only recognize the upload??
as soon as i download the .torrent it will go into seeding phase right away?

thanks

then i go

Yep. Just watch out for rar sizes, if they differ or one tracker has rared and the other tracker version is unrared then it wont work.

And it will start seeding back once it has finished a hash check.

i tried it but it starts downloading again....

When you load up the 2nd .torrent file in utorrent, are you pointing it in the location where the files are saved to?

Actually, PM me with the torrent and trackers your trying this on.

thanks alot staffrodore i wish it would let me rep u some more....pm sent

All solved :)

I forgot to mention you need the whole torrent for this, not part of it.

If you think about it what your doing is making the same seeding problem for someone else, its not helping the community.

You get the file from a diff tracker so you can seed on a harder tracker but If your not getting the file from that tracker, then noone can seed to you so your just moving the problem from yourself to someone else so they have to find it on another tracker.

Eventually noone will be downloading on the tracker as all upload (as they go it somewhere else)

So bad news for the tracker community
