Saving TTD- part 2, need help re-seeding the gigs

I have created the free Seeding Helper program to let you easily seed from your collection even if you renamed the folder and/or files.

You just need to install and use it. The response to the releases has been underwhelming, as if few care if this special place goes away. I know of no other torrent site with a historical archive of gigs posted, 1:1 honor system ratio (if connectable), and a free program to help re-seed gigs.

Surely a few dozen collectors can re-seed the shows they have in their collections that they acquired via other generous seeders?

Go to this page to see gigs you have from TTD members that Seeding Helper can help you re-seed. It takes maybe 30 seconds per gig once you get up to speed:

I changed the results pages to show only connectable (not firewalled) leechers and also added direct torrent file links, saving you time by not having to open the thread and scrolling to find the link.

Seeding Helper can be used to resurrect an inactive torrent by allowing a collector or other user to re-seed a new torrent thread. All is needed are the files from the collector, new torrent file creation, and some copy/pasting to the new torrent thread page from the inactive torrent page.

One other TTD member is trying to save the site by seeding gigs. I created a special torrent listing page just for him: it omits gigs he's already seeding plus only shows connectable users in the seeding counts which shows him exactly which gigs to seed, thus speeding up the process.

If anyone with space and unlimited bandwidth wants to help seed, I can create a special torrents listing page for you too.

Should I try again to create a 32bit version of Seeding Helper? Is that holding anyone back? Anyone have a used Mac they can donate to me? I'd like to learn MacOS and create a Seeding Helper for MacOS.
