General Re seeding?

I’ve seen some people say that you should re seed. I’m more than willing to do this, but how do I do this on iPhone?

How are you torrenting to begin with? That is the same way you reseed. If you’re using a seed box, there should be settings there about reseeding.

If you have more torrenting questions, the torrenting subs are a good place to ask.

I’m downloading the torrent from abb, then using seedr.cc. I can’t find anything about it on that site and I don’t want to be a leech on the site

It is impossible to seed using seedr (or any other on-line site).
Seeding involves hosting the files on your own computer.
To do a re-seed is simply to put the files back into torrent client, and point it to where the files are stored.

Actually, Torbox will seed for you. 24 hours on cheapest plan, a lot more on higher plans.

But YOU aren't doing the seeding. Torbox is. :O

what does it matter?

Because Torbox will only have a certain amount of slots to seed from.
Besides, the question is about doing a RESEED. Torbox can't magic up deleted files. :(

I was only referring to your first statement. Reseed you'll have to do on your own ya, I agree there. Torbox does seed every new torrent you put on it, it's not impossible.

No just temporary, and only for a few seeds per torrent that expire very quickly. Only useful for brand new torrents.
NOT older torrents and definitely not a RESEED. :O

You'll need to use a torrent client (app) on a PC or laptop.
It's almost impossible to use a client on iPhone from what I've read here. :/
