How to reverse engineer a torrent from a file? (lemmy.ml)

Hi,

I've got a file that I torrented (Linux distro .mkv).

My goal is to seed that file again. I do not have the original torrent file anymore because I broke my server (multiple times) and lost data.

Is there a tool that searches for the right torrent? The tool should create a hash and compare the file's hash with all the hashes of all the linux torrents from the sites I use. That's at least how I imagine such a tool would work.

I got the torrent from a good private tracker and I was able to redownload the torrent file for that file but others were from public sources I can't find.

EDIT: Oh wait I get it now. Sorry about that.
