    Now about seeding from 2 IPs at the same time, I know some trackers do allow that but maybe not all... here you may have to check beforehand.

    About cross-seeding:
    Dear ganja, you have to do it manually.

    When I first started cross-seeding I did exactly what you did, and I got the same message you did (in utorrent)
    So I thought my only choice was a second client, which I did and it worked.
    But then... it dawned on me!!!!! I didn't have to do that, I could add the tracker manually!
    You do not add the torrent file a second time, you add the tracker on the existing torrent!

    You right-click on the torrent you wish to cross-seed → edit trackers → add tracker and you add "tracker B" manually.

    "tracker B" → copy it from another torrent you're already seeding on Tracker B because it has to have your passkey.

    Hope this helps!
    Private trackers prohibit this for the reason Squidgy wrote above. I'll go with the 2 clients way.

    Well, you know how I got the idea? (wasn't mine really...)
    There were some uploaders who were uploading on multiple trackers, and if you'd check the tracker list you'd see all the different trackers there.
    How do they get away with it if it's not permissible?

    Edit: Although I see your point! Definitely the stats won't be correct...never thought of that!
    If it was public trackers its okay. In most tracker rules theres something about it.
    Here's REDs rule -embedding non-Redacted announce URLs in Redacted .torrents is prohibited. Doing so causes false data to be reported and will be interpreted as cheating. This applies to standalone .torrent files and .torrent files that have been loaded into a client.

    Your client basically reports the upload to the trackers, if you have 2 announce URLS you're uploading to both but reporting the same amount to both. So you might upload 2gb - 1gb to RED and 1gb to OPS, but you would report 2gb to both.
    Smaller trackers might not be monitoring to see if people are incorrectly reporting, but its definitely possible to check and the decent trackers will be able to tell

    hello @ganja7

    I personnaly never have had issues on cross-seeding, or on merge trackers with others since I used qBitorrent, and since I drop down utorrent.

    qBittorent is a universal client accepted by most of private and public trackers, even with chinese web site with magnets ^^

    best of luck so

    No, it's not public trackers and yes, they are small trackers, maybe that's why I didn't have any problems.
    All in all, I'm only cross-seeding a few torrents.
    When I first started, I put them on 2 separate clients (and left them there)
    Then I discovered the "merging" possibility and did that with the next couple torrents.
    Never thought I could be cheating, that was not my intention...
    So now, I'll put those two "offending" torrents on different clients and that will be it!
    Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
