Indexing of Torrents

Indexing your .torrent files are an important part of sharing any piece of data utilizing the bit torrent network. The reason for this, is that the indexing websites give you a place where you can store your .torrent files so that they are easily accessible to others. Each and every .torrent file that is stored on any given indexing website, is also added to the database so that one may actually search through that entire database to find that particular file that they may be looking for.

Not only do these websites allow for your .torrent file to be indexed, they also give you an ability to share information regarding that file. On top of all of this, the various indexing websites also track to file automatically for you so that you do not have to. They maintain information regarding the availability of any particular file including the total number of seeds currently available as well as the number of leechers in the swarm.

A good, strong file also has many comments left about the file that can include information like if the file has a possible dangerous virus, any passwords necessary to open the file once downloaded, as well as information from others regarding how they felt the file was after downloading it.

All of this combined plays an important role in the livelihood of any given torrent file. For a file to stay strong and last, you need others in the bit torrent community who are always willing to share information regarding their files. That is what the whole thing is about, the absolute freedom of experiencing the world all from that small corner of your home without having to worry about boundaries or limitation. Bit torrent client software allows one to be part of one of the largest anonymous communities in the world. You can very easily find yourself sharing files and creating friends in almost any country in the world that has a publicly available internet access.

It all comes down to the indexing of your .torrent files. Without indexing them in the various online indexing websites, how can you share what you have to offer? The truth is, that you cannot. Otherwise, it is not a publicly available .torrent file, it then becomes a private tracker. Unless in which case you have already determined that a particular file is to be a privately shared one, but if not, you should always index them. You do not have to add your file to multiple indexing websites, only one of them. Most bit torrent client software will from there, then create a unique hash key of that file, so that even if the .torrent file is lost, the downloading can continue.

The concept behind the hash keys are simple. If you have ever noticed that on a particular website, the file that you have decided to download only reports so many seeds and leechers but then once you have started to download you notice many more than were actually announced. What happens is that when you are connected to another computer and downloading a file, the client software is making a network with other computers that may not have that particular file. It then finds another has key that is exactly the same but the .torrent file is named differently. Although it is possible to have multiple different files having the same hash key, the possibilities are very slim. It is these individual hash keys that allow your software to find other computers with the same file as some people like to rename files and re-index them on another or the same site under a different name and title.
