So, I'm finished with downloading Ubuntu 12.04 torrent. I used rtorrent for that. After it's finished, I closed the rtorrent. Now, I still has the torrent file and I want to seed it without redownloading the iso file.
How can I accomplish that with a command line program? uTorrent can do this kind of thing easily, but I want a simple command line.
I tried rtorrent as well as aria2c, both didn't work out my purpose.

This works because the bittorrent client does a hash check of the downloaded data, recognizes that the download is complete, and automatically starts uploading, correct? – xdumaine – 2012-07-23T01:08:24.690
That's right. :) – Michael Hampton – 2012-07-23T01:10:14.700
Actually, it works! I forgot to ignore the rtorrent unfriendly-seed-config. But aria2c prompted to redownload and overwrite the downloaded data before it can seed the torrent. – pepito – 2012-07-23T09:35:30.293
Simply adding a session directory to rtorrent is the very 1st thing to do when setting it up, and makes the whole thing a non-issue. – pyroscope – 2012-07-23T18:34:56.477
All right, thanks. I'll read about rtorrent session things. – pepito – 2012-07-24T11:35:42.543
