If you find a torrent with the exact same files, yes you can seed without downloading first. What I do it's to start the new torrent so it create the files. Pause the torrent. Overwrite the created files with the files I already have. Then verify the torrent. And finally resume it to seed.
Yeah basically just make your torrent client think it downloaded them already.
From my experience if you already have the files there it will just start seeding right away automatically once it confirms the files are already present. I guess it varies from client to client.
