In case your someone who uses torrents to download Linux distributions, and you've just installed a new Linux distribution, and you've lost all your Transmission data for all the Linux distributions you want to seed to others....

Check out https://cross-seed.org

It scans your hard drive for the ISO files and searches each of the sites you're a member of for the .torrent, then automatically re-adds it to Transmission, when setup and run once from the CLI.

I think the general use case is, you download a distro from somewhere else, you can seed it on another site. But it works great for this.

Looks like Minerva is not better than anyone else when it comes to checking the DATs (special kind of files containing basically hashes).

Give me your tips for good public torrent sites that often have a good selection of British telly too.

I have a few places that are my go-to but I feel like there are better options out there.
