I was thinking perhaps a dedicated machine with perhaps a load of HDDs in it.

Curious if anyone has an idea on how to efficiently mass seed.

    Private tracker and seed requirements is the reason that comes to mind for me. Back when I was on a private tracker some 20 years ago I would get the torrent file and the actual data from a friend so I could seed it without having downloaded it.

      Yeah, but you’re gonna be competing with all the fastest seeders with popular torrents on private trackers from my experience so you probably won’t get much of any upload credit until the hype dies down. If you need the credit and have the file already somehow I would even suggest bringing a torrent back from the dead that has a leecher or two trying to download.
