Torrents are great, they are the best way to share large files with your friends, or even with people you don’t know at all. But surprisingly enough, not many people create torrents when they need to share something. I have quite a number of friends who know how to download torrents, but when they need to send me their latest 200MB picture collection, they ask me to transfer it through the MSN / email.. wth..
It’s not that I have anything against msn (although the file transfer sucks), but why don’t just use BitTorrent technology? Especially if you want to send something to more than one person, or if you want to share high quality movie RMVB files, because then you can share the bandwidth.
So how do you do this? Well it’s very simple. Open your favorite BitTorrent client and do the magic trick:
UTorrent
1. File > Create new Torrent (or CTRL + N)
2. Select the files and or directories
3. Trackers: This is probably the hard part for most people. But it’s pretty easy, just put in one of the popular public trackers. You can use one or more trackers, but in general one is enough.
BitComet
1. File > Create Torrent (or CTRL + M)
2. Select the files and or directories
3. Select “enable public DHT network” from the dropdown box
This way you can be your own tracker if the public tracker goes down.
4. Tracker server and DHT node list
5. Save the torrent and send it to your friends
Azureus
1. File > New Torrent (or CTRL + N)
2. Tick “use an external tracker”.
3. Select single file or dicectory, click NEXT and point to the file or directory you want to share, and click NEXT
4. Do NOT tick “private torrent”
5. Do tick “allow decentralized tracking”
6. Save the torrent and send it to your friends
