The previous thread was very long time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0 :)

i've either misunderstood, or got you confused :)
ok, you upload the .torrent file (nemsfunnygif.torrent) you created to demonoid. demonoid asks you to re-download the tweaked .torrent file (nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent). you do this, and you add it to transmission.
what does transmission say about this .torrent file? 'downloading' or 'seeding' status?
by the sounds of things, you've downloaded nemsfunnygif-[[Demonoid.com]]_6075453.4782.torrent to the transmission watch folder, and it's auto added it to the default download location, and not /c/media/gif/. thus because its pointing to the wrong location, it's attempting to download the files again, and not use the ones you already have.
just to be clear, the 'create torrent' process is completely seperate to transmission; it doesnt do anything in the background. it's essentially 2 independant packages in 1 download/addon. it mearly creates a .torrent file. once you've uploaded it to the tracker, this .torrent file you have created can be deleted.
this is where transmission remote comes in.
download the demonoid .torrent file, add it to transmission & pause it. Now use Transmission Remote to move the torrent data to /c/media/gif/, and resume the download. this should verify the files found at the new location and start seeding it. aslong as your pointing the torrent data to the correct location, then it should have 'seeding' against the torrent in transmission.
alternatively, move the applicable gif folder to your default transmission download folder. this will save you having todo the Transmission Remote step.
