I know exactly what cross seeding is, just I am not sure about how to set it up quickly. Do you have any good strategy for it? I want to cross seed for 5-6 trackers at least without needing to take too much time for the setup.

Just select the directory the files are in, check Don't Add Torrents Name To Path and Don't Start Automatically, browse for torrent file then add. Right-click it, choose force re-check, then when it gets to 100% hit start.

@gergo: Actually, I'd say choose Fast Resume to skip the hash check altogether. It'll start seeding instantly if it's the exact same torrent, just make sure you choose the correct directory, obviously. That's the fastest way to cross-seed - fast resume :)
If the torrent doesn't get added to your client, it's because the hash info and piece size are identical. It happens to me a lot... Your client will think you're adding the exact same torrent, so it'll do nothing. Good uploaders will randomize the hash info when creating a new torrent, so that even if the piece size is the same, you can still add the torrent to cross-seed since the hash info is different. Unfortunately, not everyone does that :(
I manage to cross-seed up the same torrent to up to 5 trackers sometimes... More is usually difficult since you'll eventually run into the identical hash info/piece size problem :(
If anyone knows a solution, let us know :D I'm sure there's one, I just never needed to desperately find one :D
Never had that problem, has always worked fine, but interesting all the same. If I run into that issue I will address it but until then meh lol.
Fortunately I never got that issue yet, just it's hard to find torrents having active leechers and are available on several trackers.
I guess once you seed the same torrent to ~6 trackers, you'll find it hard to add more trackers beyond that. You'll run into the problem eventually...Quote:
