Is there any way to track back to the original site a torrent came from?
Back in February of 2014 I downloaded a few torrents of Pokemon episodes subbed (this was when they were hard to track down, now it seems like a lot of sites have them). They were downloaded individually from this site. I sort of forgot about watching them and the series so the site was erased from my history due to age and BitTorrent deleted the torrents along with all others I had (update maybe, it doesn t matter).
Recently though I found them all in my computers Roaming folder. Now I want to find the original site which the file name unfortunately given no indication of. Searching the file name doesn t work either because all of the sites torrenting the episodes use it.
I m looking for another hard to find subbed anime (Hamtaro if anyone can help with this too) and I figure this site could have it since it had Pokemon when no other site did but I need to know if there is some way to track it back through the torrent file.

A torrent file usually doesn't contain any information about where it came from, so if you're just going off your local files, there isn't really way to tell.
The only chance you have is if you still have some entries in your browser's download history log. You might be able to copy the download link of the site from which you downloaded the torrent from there.
