If you've ever wondered how to create a torrent, you've come to the right place. This article will explain how to create a torrent and use it to upload whatever you want to people all over the world!how to create a torrent

STEPS:

  • Investigate your torrent client. Most up-to-date clients can make torrents, some may not be able to. For a client that can create torrents try µTorrent for Windows, Transmission for Mac or Deluge for Linux.
  • Select the option to make a new torrent file. This is usually located under the File menu and named "Create New Torrent" or something of the same meaning. If it is not in this location try looking under other menus or the toolbars. If you are still uncertain, check the official website of your client for more details.
  • Select the files you wish to be in the torrent. If you will have several files consider arranging them all first in a folder, so you can simply select that folder to use as the torrent contents. The name of your torrent file will usually be the name of the file or folder in it. You can easily rename the file afterwards.
  • Enter a tracker. A tracker controls the transfer of data for your torrent. A tracker looks similar to an ordinary URL. A list of trackers is available here. If you want to index your torrent on a torrent downloads website then you should use the tracker owned by that website, as not all indexing sites will allow external trackers. If you are using a private tracker (You probably are not.) then be sure to tick the box to mark it as private. Do not tick this box otherwise.
  • Add any additional information. You can add a comment for the torrent if you wish. The piece size should be left at the automatic setting unless you know what you're doing. Once you have filled in all the required areas create your torrent. You may be asked where to save and what to call the .torrent file, or you may have been asked beforehand.
  • Now that you have your torrent file open it ready for seeding. Some clients have a seed mode specifically for this. If you do not seed your torrent it will be useless because nobody can download your files.
  • Share your torrent. If you are making the torrent so you can send a friend a file, just send them the .torrent file. If you want it open to the public to download you are best listing it on a torrent download website. Once on such a site find the link to add or upload a new torrent and fill in the required information. You will probably be required to register if you have not already. Once people start downloading the torrent off you it will gather more and more seeders. If you wish you can stop seeding once the torrent is "stable" or continue.

TIPS:

  • When submitting your torrent on a website, give it a descriptive title and description and place it in the best category. This way it will be found more easily. Check the comments for your torrent incase other users have questions regarding your torrent.
