How to seed files that have already been downloaded

This is a quick guide for users new to Bittorent clients. It explains how to seed files that you already have.

Re-seeding Downloaded Files with Different Clients

Please update

Go to the torrent page and download the .torrent file again (make sure you're logged in before downloading, if not the tracker URL will be incorrect).
Open the .torrent file in uTorrent, but do not start it yet (uncheck the "Start Torrent" checkbox). [Image:Add Torrent dialog window in uTorrent (with "Start Torrent" unchecked).]
Click on the ". . ." button at the end of the directory name display, and brose to the folder where you last downloaded the files.
In Windows Explorer, make sure the filenames in the folder match the filenames in the torrent filelist.
Click "Ok" in the Add Torrent dialog box. The torrent should now appear in your torrent window in stopped state.
Right-click on it, and select "Force recheck". uTorrent will now scan the selected folder for matching files, so if the files are the same and still have the same filenames you should see the progress bar start filling up. [Image:Force the torrent to recheck the downloaded files.]
Let it scan until it says "Stopped" under the Status column. Then start the torrent proper.
1. If the files are 100% verified it should say "Seeding" under the Status column.
2. If there are missing files, or some of the pieces did not hash properly, uTorrent will download the missing pieces before putting the torrent in Seeding status.
You're done - now just let the torrent sit and seed.
