every once in awhile i get a bug up my butt about sharing my massive, curated library.. but every time i get distracted by the volume of steps it would take to create the necessary shit to seed and then find a place that would even take those seeds to index.

ami doin it wrong? why is it so hard? napster was easy.

It's easy. Create the torrent, upload it to a public tracker. Or send it to your friends. Or post the magnet link and rely on DHT.

what are the best tools to automagically create 40k torrent files from their xml metadata. are there tools to automatically bundle seasons/shows/collections?

Maybe you want something like a command line torrent client?

Get a filepath list of all the files you want to torrent, and use a text editor to paste the torrent executable and arguments to turn the file list into a script file, then run it?

I understand that Deluge can be operated via command line. https://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?t=47831 I'm not sure whether that works on platforms other than Linux.

You should probably talk to the tracker admins about before you do this so that you don't get mistaken as some kind of attack.

im all linux, and have a deluge container already working through a vpn.. a scripted solution with symlink to an attached, read-only volume of my library kinda sounds like a start.

if anything, this all proves my point. its not easy to 'just create a torrent and upload it' as mentioned upthread
