Description

This is going to sound a bit confusing at first, but bear with me:

In addition to the current workflow for downloading files, implement the following -

On each indexer, create a new setting which specifies if an indexer should be used for downloading AND seeding, or just seeding.

Once that's done, the normal download workflow continues - (item picked, downloaded, etc.)

Once the file is downloaded /completed, search each indexer that is marked as "seed only" for the exact file that has already been downloaded. If it exists, download it at add it to transmission.

Transmission should then see the file already exists, add the second torrent, but should automatically verify local data and begin seeding.

This allows a user to not just download a file, but to auto seed it on other trackers where they might be worried about ratio.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing download workflow and how indexer settings are represented, then inspect the Transmission integration. Define how an indexer is marked for seeding only and how a completed file is matched and added to Transmission. Done means seed-only indexers can be searched after a download and matching torrents begin seeding from the existing local data.
