Creating a Bittorrent File for Sharing on a Peer to Peer Network...

First off, make sure your file (s) is clean! Don't upload thrash, virus, adware or malware! People will hate you, forever!

Next, if you have a video you want to share, the best way is to set up a torrent file and upload the torrent file (NOT the video file!) to a tracker. Without going in too much detail, torrent works by sharing the video directly from your hard disk to the folks who wants it.

These are the steps:

1. Download a bittorrent agent. My favorite is μtorrent. Its easy and its safe. It does not have any viruses, adware or malware.

Double click on the μtorrent icon and you'll see this:

Cool hah?

2. Now, click on "File" and "Create New Torrent"










3. Then you will get this screen:

This is where you specify the file to be shared, and μtorrent will create the torrent file. The first thing you do is to specify the file to share - click "Add file" or if you have copied an entire VCD or DVD to your hard drive, click "Add directory". Next: Add the tracker ("A BitTorrent tracker is a server which assists in the communication between peers using the BitTorrent protocol..."). You can use any of these trackers:
  • http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce
  • http://www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce
  • http://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
  • udp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
  • http://www.sumotracker.com/announce
  • http://pirates.sumotracker.com/announce
Just copy the whole address of the tracker such as http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce and place it into the tracker
