Here's how I managed to seed; I had downloaded too much, and my ratio blocked the download. Then, since I changed computers, I no longer had the updated torrents, so I went to look for the torrents on the same site as the downloaded files (carefully checking the name of the movie or file because if it doesn't come from the same release and the same site, it won't work).
Then you just save the torrent file (normally this isn't blocked for download) in your "downloads" folder.
Then you go find your movie or file that you drag into the "downloads" folder.
After that, you open a torrent in Utorrent or Bittorrent, etc., and the file installs by doing a "check" or "force check"; you see it rise in percentage and it automatically switches to "seeding."
If it doesn't do the check by itself, you can force it by right-clicking on the desired torrent in the Utorrent table. Since I'm prone to frequent power outages, sometimes all the torrents are red, so I select everything and right-click, force the check, and it starts verifying and then switches to sharing.
Be careful when the torrents are already in Utorrent before, it doesn't work; you have to remove them ("remove" only and not "remove delete" or "data" otherwise you throw your files in the trash), "remove" or "annuler" (for the French version) only removes them from the program's list. After that, you put them back by clicking on "open a torrent," and since its buddy the file or folder is next to it, it pulls it in.
For my part, I saw the movie files and others disappear from the "downloads" folder, as if the program was swallowing them, only the torrent files and empty folders of large volumes remain, which is why it's better to save them in another location or on a hard drive.
In fact, the important thing is that the torrent file matches the downloaded file well, and that they are in the correct folder, and especially that nothing is removed from the folder when it comes to folders with multiple files, including subfolders. Sometimes we delete the small NFO files or other movie images, cover photos, etc., and then it no longer matches the original torrent, but you can often uncheck files when downloading the torrent, to only take what is necessary to match the remaining folder, because when you no longer have the option to download the missing files, you still have the possibility to recover the torrents, thankfully.
All this to say that the software designers are geniuses, thank you, gentlemen.
My thing now is that I would like to know how to upload; it's less simple when you've never done it.
