I put the wrong name with the first reply. I do use qBittorrent. I did your suggestion and it still didn't work. When I download the file after uploading it, it gets stuck on "stalled", so I do not know what is going on.
When you add the torrent from the website, you need to change the save path to where the files are. You are the only person with a complete copy of the files in the torrent, so if you don't point the torrent client to the files that you created the torrent from, it will stall.
This is what you need to change when you add the torrent:

When the torrent is set to save in the correct folder, qBittorrent will quickly check the existing files, see that they match the torrent, and show a progress of 100% and that the torrent is seeding.
