You're going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?
Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode
Yeah, a lot of private travelers will not accept doubly-lossy encoded files as a rule. So you can't just go from 264 to 265. You need the original lossless file.
To OP, yeah, you want a seed box. Both to pin the file up and host it for a while, and to preserve your anonymity (the original seeder is under particular scrutiny.)
What's a "private traveler" out of interest?
It's a typo, supposed to say "private tracker"
