I agree with you that it is a new seed in the sense that somebody has to seed a new torrent, but I thought the term "reseed" was reserved for filesets that have identical flac or shn fingerprints as those from a previous seed...or maybe even identical wholefile md5s for all of the music files...

I would go as far to say that if it is a true reseed in the way I would use the term, there should potentially be others with the same file set that could (theoretically) jump on and help seed at least the musical portion of the fileset (ignoring info files, artwork, etc.)...

If I am wrong about this and I am in fact nitpicking about the definition of a "reseed" please let me know
