qBittorrent official forums

There are some cases I am not able to cross seed.
I'm talking about private trackers and identical torrents.
So I already have downloaded a torrent from tracker A and want to cross seed it to tracker B.
When I open the .torrent file I get the message "Torrent Name is already in the transfer list. Trackers cannot be merged because it is a private tracker".
Option to merge trackers to existing torrent in advanced settings is unchecked.
Why doesn't it create a new independent torrent which will contain only the new tracker?
Is there any way to solve this and cross seed?

Have you tried renaming the existing entry?

Yes, but no luck.

2 torrents with identical hash can't be added to one qBittorrent instance. To seed the other torrent, you need to add it to a 2nd instance (Make sure the listening port number is not the same used by the 1st one).
