It 100% is. STOP DOING THIS. You are NOT seeding the original files. You are 100% poisoning the swarm. You WILL get banned, and it will be your own fault.
If someone inadvertently did this because they recently started transcoding their media library (...that would be me...), and didn't think about the seeding torrents, can you do anything to mitigate such bans?
transcode to a copy of that file
treat active torrented files as "do not edit"
Yes that's what I'm supposed to do from now on...I'm asking what I can do so I'm "un"-blacklisted/banned, if that has happened because of my previous mistake.
Nothing. It’s an automated. Just stop doing it and it’ll decay with time.
Excellent, thanks
I'm delighted to hear that I'm not alone 😅
