What would be the best way for this? Since I download most of it from torrent, I am thinking of having it on torrent as well. How to make sure it gets the exposure it needs (i.e. seeding)?

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

Looks good to me... I'd be happy to take some feedback tho

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I'd bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers... Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won't be allowed

Does the filesize change much?

I was able to shrink down the whole thing from about 120GB to 90GB
