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!

Yeah the thing is that transmission sadly does not support using a proxy (therefore no i2p/changing to i2p trackers) so that sadly would not work (except if I got it wrong). Adding the torrent link as-is would not work through an i2p client as it only supports torrents inside the i2p network, and the torrents I have are from clearnet ~~(can I add the torrent file, though?)~~. Sorry if I do not make any sense, but thanks I'll try it out anyway!
