Creating torrents

The creation of a BitTorrent file is not difficult at all, although it is a little more complicated as compared to creating a directory on your hard drive. When creating this particular directory, it is not a simple point and click as it is with sharing a directory to normal Windows protocols.

When creating a BitTorrent file there are three things which you must they are mind at all times. The first item that you must remember is that you have to have a tracker for your of BitTorrent file. You will also need access to a Web server in order to upload your tracker file to, so that others may download your particular, BitTorrent file directly from your computer. The final thing in my source member is that at any given time you that to have at least one “Seeder”. A “Seeder” is a computer on the BitTorrent network that has a complete BitTorrent file that is available for download. While on the other hand, you also have what is known as the “Leecher” which are peers on your network that only have parts of the complete file.

In the earlier years, right after the release of the original BitTorrent software, but the process was fairly difficult, requiring one to offer their own tracker, as well as their own “Seeder”. Since then, various communities have blossomed throughout the Internet offering servers in which you can upload your tracker files to, so that others may visit the server and search for your particular tracker.

In order to create a BitTorrent file, you must firstly decide which file you wish to share, as it can either be a single file or a directory of files that have been zipped. Another thing that you must remember is that common sense states that you do not zip and already compressed file. If you haven’t already compressed file or multiple parts of a file compressed, and simply place called the compressed files or file parts into the directory that you wish to share utilizing your BitTorrent software.

Once you have decided which file you would like to share, you simply open your BitTorrent software up and click on “Make Torrent”. This will give you an option to select your BitTorrents directory so that you can share with the world. You’ll then have to enter a tracker announce URL. You can choose your own URL or choose a community, but keep in mind that most communities also wants to see the original BitTorrent file to ensure that it does not have any viruses in it.

Your next step is to select the size, or let the software select automatically for you. The smaller the size of the more efficient, however, it also creates a larger tracker file, as well as slows the download time. When dealing with a larger final try not to utilize small file blocks.

Then click to go ahead and create a file, and upload your tracker files to the Web server that you specified earlier. From that point forward, you must leave your computer on, as well as keeping your BitTorrent client software often, until there is at least one other “Seeder” available. The reason for this is if any point in time, your “Seed” is to longer available, the entire downloading process will fail.
