do you guys cross seed and how?

Getting Started | cross-seed

WWW.CROSS-SEED.ORG

 is the best resource for figuring out what setup works best for you. Cross-seeding works if the same torrent is uploaded on multiple sites, so it's no good for seeding a new release that's only on one tracker, but is useful for building ratio.

NO

Yes, and the how part is up to you considering all the many ways cross-seed can be configured. I recently set it up on Windows and do basic torrent search. I'll do more automation later down the line once I order more storage.

Yes, in fact when I first join a tracker, instead of allowing searches and rss, I setup cross-seed to do a full search on the new tracker of everything existing thats seeding and cross seed to it, so I can get a healthy upload before I start downloading. This has served me well over the last little while

cross-seed.org is the best one

Can someone explain the usage of hardlink in torrenting with example, I already know the use of symlink and use it often.

[CineMax]

Link Shell Extension (LSE) is really a useful extension in windows that helps in proper management of torrent you cross-seed on multiple trackers. @hOpe I don't know how to use hardlink, other than it points to the link and not the file itself, it is a low level concept.

There's a tool called CrossSeedAutoDL that uses Jacketts to find similar matches to the torrent you want to cross seed. There is also SeedCross which is based off of that tool, but it's a web UI.

Yeah I do. I'm currently have 15k torrents in my Qbittorrent. However, this is all done manually.
