This is mainly for cross-seeding, basically having two torrents in the client.

SiteA has - linux.exe 1kb
SiteB has - linux.exe 1kb

However after downloading the torrent from siteA I am sometimes not able to cross-seed to siteB since this comes up



is there a way to evade this and successfully cross-seed? what causes this?

Maybe they uploaded the very-same torrent?
In this case, what if you just add the other tracker into the tracker list?

(The torrent only changes physically if the piece size is different or if it was made with a different libtorrent, etc.)

It seems to be working (seeds/downloaded and status) but I wonder if this can get me in trouble with the site.

No.
The tracker software is incredibly dumb. The reason you can add it twice is just simply because the torrent was simply re-created. They get it from site X, open their client or libtorrent and create a new torrent and then upload it to site Y.

This only creates extra work with no benefit. It's just another weird quirk of the p2p community.

Well, according to the mods it is consider ratio cheating.
What's the best way to upload from site x to site y while creating a new torrent for site y?
