I recently got into private trackers and currently have around 500 torrents, but I can only cross-seed ~10 of them. I assume this is mostly because the trackers have different releases/encodings.

Is there a way to automatically rank releases based not only on the usual arrstack criteria, but also on whether the exact same torrent/release is available on another tracker?

For example, I don't particularly care whether I get x264 or x265, as long as it meets my quality requirements. If an x264 release is available on both Tracker A and Tracker B, while an otherwise equivalent x265 release is only available on Tracker A, I'd prefer the x264 release because I can seed it on both trackers.

Basically, I'd like cross-seedability to be a preference when choosing between otherwise equivalent releases.

Is there an existing tool/workflow that can do this with Sonarr/Radarr + Prowlarr + qBittorrent/cross-seed/Qui?

I was wondering why the red part of the graph (on /torrents) has been increasing so much recently. It went from 200tb to now 600tb in a month.

My first instinct told me that it had to be because some new content was uploaded, increasing the portion of the red part. This however does not make sense to me, because the total size of the archive remains effectively the same. Could it be that torrents that were in the yellow part have been replaced by new torrents, moving them to red? If so, how does one know if a torrent they are using has been replaced.
