Auto-Ingest to RESEED old .torrents and directories even if they are renamed #21199

Suggestion

Auto-Ingest to RESEED old .torrents and directories

Let the qBittorrent auto-ingest old .torrent files only if the contents is found in the old directories given to the app.

Give it a directory with .torrents and miltiple directories of downloaded stuffs, even if the stuff is with different filenames already, let the qbittorrent automatically ingest reseedable torrents.

Let the qBittorrent easily update any tracker URLs and passkeys before starting the torrents.

Let the qBittorrent find reseedable contents even if they are extracted , archived.

Use case

Reseed a massive multi terabyte collection of stuff probably 50 TB +

Some of the stuff has 0 seeders on the trackers so I can save it.

Extra info/examples/attachments

Additionally. Let the qBittorrent monitor the Requests section of each tracker to auto-find the requested stuff in the local directories ?

But what if the qBittorrent can find reseedable stuff without giving it .torrent files rather giving it the tracker web site URL so the torrent client can see torrent names and file details - let the client find reseedable stuff without touching the .torrent file.

Because for some private trackers (click ones) it will be mandatory to download the new .torrent file which has very custom announce URL per each torrent.
