Stats completely out of proportions...
Al_Sleeper:
Public torrents in general have nothing to do with public versions of BakaBT torrents. The latter are in fact just private torrents with a special tracker url.

buchno:
If you insist on seeding the same files at different (private) trackers, you can do it by pointing the two torrents to the same location (follow the relocation steps in the wiki), or to simply symlink the files from the first torrent to the second one's folder (which I do).
Although, I don't know if your torrent client will support loading several torrents with the exact same files, or if it will insist on copying the trackers over to the existing one. I know rtorrent has had some issues loading other torrents with files of the same hash, but as far as I'm concerned, they're solved by now.
megido-rev.M:
Provided the torrents are not identical, they should be able to involve the same files at the same time.

To be completely sure, it'd be best to have two clients running at once. Some clients don't like it when you try to overlap files in torrents.

Why even bother signing up for an account then?

The actual reason is that you end up seeding to two different swarms. The BakaBT swarm is entirely isolated from the rest of the torrenting world, for a good reason - on any torrent, the total amount downloaded within the swarm should always equal the total amount uploaded, with a small margin for random error. If you start seeding to another swarm (like Nyaa) and report your stats to BakaBT, your numbers will become more and more suspicious over time, and if you leave it going long enough, you could potentially exceed the total amount ever downloaded within BakaBT on that torrent, which would be interpreted as evidence of stat-hacking.
