Sure it's OK. If you aren't the original seeder, you should usually let the torrent run it's course on the site you got it from (there are exceptions like when some mega popular torrent shows up - LZ last December comes to mind). If you are the original seeder, then it's really up to you to decide if you want to seed it on several sites at a time or space them out by a few days or whatever.

Well, yes, a lot of users here also have accounts on Dime. But, a lot of users also don't. Dime has a cap on their registration and so sometimes it is hard for users to get an account there. Lots of show are seeded on several trackers simply because many users have a 'preferred' tracker that maybe they check everyday as compared to others that they maybe check every couple of days or once a week.

Thanks for any answers.

Yes, you should make a new torrent to seed the show here with the ttd announce url. Don't try to change it in the .torrent file or you will most likely mess something up (you can't just change the url, there is more to it than that).
