Sharing already downloaded torrents through i2p (transmission --> XD)? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have lots of torrents downloaded through transmission, which I would like to continue seeding through i2p via the XD client, without having to re-download the files. How do I "move" my seeding to i2p? Do I have to upload the torrents to an i2p torrent tracker, or can I avoid that?

Would you recommend this in the first place?

Sorry for the stupid question folks, help is appreciated, even if not specific to these clients. Thanks in advance!

If you can find the same torrent already existing, you should be able to add the torrent, paused, then copy the file to the empty folder. Force a recheck and then it should hash check the files.

Not specific to XD as I dont use it, but has worked for me when changing trackers. I havnt tried when downloading over different protocols, but it should not make a difference.
