My problem is that the file I download is not in the right format, doesn’t have any metadata embedded, doesn’t have subs embedded, and doesn’t match my file naming convention. In fact the way media is packaged, I don’t know how anyone that cares about these things is able to seed.

You see, the problem is that radar and sonarr move my files into designated folders. That is a good thing, but it also makes it so that my download client can't find it again to continue uploading.
I have now set it up so that I keep a copy in my downloads folder for a week, but I don't have the space to permanently keep two copies of all my downloads.
It would be great if radarr could tell my download client where the file has moved to so that it can keep on seeding indefinitely.

If I have had Radarr and Sonarr rename all my files and move them. Is it still possible to seed them? Do I need to package them as torrents again?

Unfortunately, I am behind CG-NAT, so it always barely uploads anything.
I wish it could work like WebRTC or Tailscale. There could just be servers like the trackers, but to help establish this direct connection between peers.

Being behind CGNAT unfortunately my seeding is limited...
No, I don't like using a VPN with PF... If I spend money, I do for Usenet....
I always just let the open trackers roll
I try but it shows 0 active peers and doesn't upload.
There is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you'll get a connection.
I have a seedbox and have been using private trackers for well over a decade. I seed forever, or until I need space.
When I cannot find something on one of my private trackers I do look on public trackers. I find the experience lacking.
My issues with public trackers:
-
Search sites are sketchy af. Between pop up ads and fake direct download links, it can be challenging to find whatever you are looking for.
-
Files can be poorly tagged or completely named wrong. The number of times I have downloaded not porn only to find porn can be counted on one hand, mostly because the other hand is busy.
Anyway, I will gladly seed until the end of time if a public torrent search site exists that can get me the content I want without making me need a shower after.

Jackett solves that issue
Try rutracker, genuinely a excellent public tracker. Entirely in Russian but Google translate deals with that easily.
