So far I've only run into this with public torrents. Most of the time all my private torrents see little to no traffic. Its probably not the best idea to try and seed everything on the front page of a tracker, but older torrents which would have to be searched for are probably cool to just seed 24/7 without them competing over each other.

Might be worth it to give dvd flick a shot. You can play tetris while its authoring.
You make a good point, but I don't think I've ever seen a v2 torrent in my life.
That script makes this a lot more convenient, thank you. As far as adding trackers, I'm not sure if there would be a way to compress them, which is what I was going for with the infohash encoding. If you try to encode a whole magnet link in base64, it ends up being a mile long with all the trackers added in (most of which do not connect). You could just encode the infohash of the magnet, but thats going to kind of defeat the point and confuse people. I don't notice a difference most of the time with or without trackers, but if you need them, you can set qbittorrent to automatically appened trackers to torrents.
Yep, filesize is probably going to be your best bet here. Just keep in mind site sometimes report filesize differently, so a lot of time you'll have to guess if its close enough to be the same file, also factoring in other stuff that get packed like cut samples or tracker promo txt's.
I miss the old malwarebytes. Used to actually be good, and the serial keys I found actually used to work :( CommonSense 2023 works a lot better for me these days though, that and ublock origin.
eac3to to demux video and audio, mkvtoolnix or mkvmerge to remux to mkv. edit: You need to extract the dirs from the iso first though, you can use something like 7-zip for that though.
From what I have read on the upcoming implementation on i2p in qbit, I do not forsee it being adopted by the core torrent user base. The main issue I have with it is that while you can download from clearnet peers, you are only able to seed to other i2p peers. This completely eliminates any adoption by anyone using private trackers. Its not like the guys in brazil are going to jump through an extra hoop to hide their ip since they never needed to in the first place, so they can be ruled out for adoption as well. What I really fear is that its going to create a completely unnecessary schism in the userbase with a sort of 'leechnet' walled garden of i2p users which would hurt the greater availability of seeders. I also haven't gotten a straight answer from anyone how ports are going to work in i2p, since normally its imperative to have a forwarded port in order to be a full participant. Unless i2p users can seed to clearnet users without issue, I am going to be worried about the impact on torrent health as a whole.
Unless something has changed since I used it, you'll need to set PIA to wireguard only, and the adapter shows up as wg-pia. (or similar)
Would anyone be interested in an additional .csv spreadsheet that got posted? It probably is mostly duplicated with this list, I've also got a short list that was just saved as 'arthouse.txt' and a bunch of miscellaneous .torrent files that got posted, most of them are porn though. I was going to roll everything up into one torrent (including this and the sql file), which would be about 2 gigs. Might be some that fell through the cracks, but I'm not up to the task of sorting.
So, you have content of the torrent, but don't know the original torrent it goes to, right?
The first place I'd look would be bitsearch.to. It's a pretty extensive dht network crawler that actually has a lot of rarbg archived. Be warned, you can't use .'s or a few other 'special' characters, just replace them with spaces. If that fails to find anything, theres also btdig, but at this point you will probably want to install a program called jackett to search all public sites at the same time. Hopefully that would be a good tool for you.
When you find the torrent the file is from, you may need to find additional files, like advertisement txt files for dead torrent trackers. You may have some luck finding these in other torrents, you just have to match the filesize really.
If there aren't any seeders whatsoever, magnet links won't work. You will have to try and find the .torrent manually. You can pretty often find these on caching sites. The three I know of are itorrents.org, torrage.info, and btcache.me. Hopefully one of these still has the file.
When you go to add the torrent, set the stop condition in qbittorrent to files checked. This checks the integrity of the files you have on disk against the torrent you opened. Just be sure to save it to the same folder. If it checks without a hitch, you should be able to start seeding. Remember to port forward!
eac3to will let you extract the mt2s files into their individual parts (video, audio, subtitles). You can then use mkvtoolnix to remux them into an MKV. MakeMKV works fine imo, but I read some vague waffling on a private tracker forum that it messes something up that eac3to doesn't.
