I would love to try that, can you share a quick and easy breakdown of how I would do publish that?

ipfs add -r mydir/

(Add a file to mydir/)

ipfs add -r mydir/

That's it, two different hashes, different contents, but intelligently deduplicated so you only need to download the diff if you already have the files in the former.

That's not much different than changing my files, making a new torrent file with a small blocksize and having users use that.

What is the benefit here?

That the old seeders can seed the new stuff without knowing about your new torrent.
