Reseed request
#1
Is there a polite and helpful way to request reseeding?
I sometimes find I am with a group at >90% waiting days for a seeder to pop up. 
It's a shame to abandon. One doesn't want to pester. What is the safe protocol?

Sometimes - again sometimes - the seeder cant be found by trackers given. I have had mixed results using:
https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

And adding the latest list of trackers.

Also:
Some large torrents can take days to download. Upload speeds can be throttled, and speeds can be intermittent.
I have had a 2Gb file take a week to complete.

I don't know if other uploaders would be pissed, but as far as I go you can also just PM me...

Anyway, I found the files on my old external hd, recreated the torrent - turned out the hash was different (I guess added metadata?) anyway, I uploaded the new torrent - check the the other thread

DHT should (ideally) make you find the seeds regardless of trackers...

Yea, that adding trackers practice is generally an extreme last ditch effort to pray for that one peer with DHT turned off not already announcing to any of the trackers already listed.
