Why are you trying to mass seed popular torrents? You'll just wind up splitting your bandwidth per torrent so much that people will go to other seeders. If you do less popular torrents you may get less activity but you'll seed a higher percentage each time and probably be doing more of a service.
Not OP, but this is solid advice that I never would have considered
Private tracker and seed requirements is the reason that comes to mind for me. Back when I was on a private tracker some 20 years ago I would get the torrent file and the actual data from a friend so I could seed it without having downloaded it.
Yeah, but you're gonna be competing with all the fastest seeders with popular torrents on private trackers from my experience so you probably won't get much of any upload credit until the hype dies down. If you need the credit and have the file already somehow I would even suggest bringing a torrent back from the dead that has a leecher or two trying to download.
