Thing is, I have the batman series from the 60s that I downloaded a long time ago. I deleted the torrent but I want to seed again because I remember it having like 1 or 2 people seeding and I have better internet nowadays, I have two questions on this:

Is there a way to find the torrent directly from metadata on the files or some other way instead of having to search on sites until I find it?
If I were to find a different upload of the same files, can I just verify the files I have and start uploading directly without having to download them first?

What reasons are there to change into those? I have been torrenting for such a long time it would be lowkey weird to vhange for no reason.

What are the advantages presented by those?

I haven't been able to share much on torrent because I run into memory issues but on those programs I've been able to share a lot, specially in nicotine+ I've been able to share all 160 TB with it being as lightweight as ever. And of course I feel safer sharing without a VPN on there since I've never heard anyone complain about legal issues.
