Instructions for creating torrent files with uTorrent

During the use of BitTorrent, sharing is just as important as when you receive signals from others. The following article will show you how to create and share data through self-created torrent files using the popular uTorrent program .

Research about the tracker

Before creating a torrent file, you must ensure that the shared file complies with the rules of the tracker. Here are a few points worth noting:

- Read carefully the documents and terms agreed on the tracker system . A certain tracker only allows and accepts media data licensed by Creative Commons, so check this out carefully. Besides, there are a number of other laws related to the quality of media files (mainly music and video), search information tags included . Depending on the tracker system, rules violations torrent usage will be removed, and the relevant person will be banned depending on the level.

- Reread the rules one more time : this process is also important to ensure that you receive the notification path of the tracker, often listed in the documentation, FAQ or in the main articles.

- Be ready to start seed : most trackers hope that users will seed at least twice the file upload capacity, or continuously within 72 hours. If not, try to wait until you feel fit to upload your torrent file.

Check the terms and conditions of use if you share your own work. Ideally, take the time to consult Creative Commons Licenses to be sure of what you can share or not.

How to create torrent files

- Start seeding: start the seeding process as soon as you create the torrent file

- Preserve file order: change the order of arranging files in the same folder

- Private torrent: Remember not to select Private torrent if you want to upload it to the public tracker system

When you have completed the steps above, click the Create and save as button . and name the newly created torrent file. What you need to do now is upload this torrent to your tracker system, usually a new post on the forum or personal blog, with complete details attached. Besides, be extra careful when you plan to move the original file or turn off the uTorrent program, you will no longer have a seed.
