How to Create and Upload a Torrent File

Torrents are the best way to share large files with your friends or with a large group of people and sometimes even with the people you don't know.

• Whenever some of my friends want to send me a large file they find it very difficult.They upload files on some Cloud service providers like Google Drive,Dropbox ,Skydrive etc ,which are again allow limited size for free users.Although they upload files to these cloud service providers its again a hectic process to download these large files as the net can get disconnected anytime and you have to start over download the file again.So , the best way I found is share files via torrent.
• Most of the people know how to download torrent files but are not aware of how to upload a file on torrent and share it with your friends and public.In this tutorial we will be looking into a step by step guide on how to upload a file on torrent.

Uploading a file on torrent is not same as we upload file on some networks like Google Drive or Dropbox. Torrent Technology is a little different from others so here we have to follow some different yet easy steps to upload a file on torrent.

Things you need:

• You need a torrent client either Utorrent or Bittorrent (If you are new to this go for utorrent which is a light weight torrent client)
• You must have an account on some Torrent site where you want to upload the file.Here lets take the example of kickass.to .
• And obviously you need some file to upload.

That's all you need to get started uploading files to torrent.

Step by Step Procedure to Upload and Share Torrents:

• Open your torrent client ,say for example utorrent
• Click on File-->Create new Torrent (or CTRL + N)

• Select the files(to upload one single file) and or directories (To upload a folder)

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.

Here are some good trackers you can use:

http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce
http://www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce
http://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
udp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
http://www.sumotracker.com/announce

Put one of these in the tracker box

Note:The latest torrent clients will automatically suggest some tracker.In case its already filled then you can simply ignore the above step.

• Do NOT tick the private torrent box (unless you’re using a private tracker)
• The hit the button Create and Save as and save it to your desired location.

• Now you can share this torrent file with your friends.If you are sharing this file only to a small number of people then you can directly send them the .torrent file and they can start downloading the file.
• Or if you want to share this publicly to a large number of people then it is recommended to upload this .torrent file on some website.
• Here for demonstration purpose I am choosing kickass.to but there are hundreds of torrent sites.
• Go to kickass.to and register a free account over there.
• Then you must verify your email address in order to upload files on this site.
• Just go to upload selection in the website and choose your category.
• Then you can upload the .torrent file which you have saved previously.

If you are using some other torrent client like Bitcomet or Bittorrent then the steps are almost similar.

That's all friends if you are facing any trouble in uploading and sharing files via torrent then leave a comment I can help you.

Bittorrent Technology Reviewed-How Torrents Work?

World Wide Web is full of so-called „Torrents“, internet users often speak about “torrent files” and use different portals to find them. Let’s go a little bit deeper into the past and understand what is really meant under this term.

Bittorrent working model

What is Torrent file and how it works?

Torrent is an unofficial term used for BitTorrent. Bittorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol that works without the need for a central server. This means that not a server is responsible for sending you information, but you connect directly other available network members to get data transferred. In other words, BitTorrent’s “swarm” consists of many personal computers connected to each other directly through BT protocol.
This technology was developed by Bram Cohen in April 2001. Just some years after launching Bittorrent became one of the most popuar ways to transfer huge data between computers. Today it can be used by anyone without limitation by operation system, internet speed and computer knowledge.

Traditionally, a computer becomes a Bittorrent member by loading a file with .torrent extension into his Bittorrent client. After importing the client connects the user with a tracker. The tracker is a special designed server that gathers information about all connected computers from the swarm, files available on their machines, IP addresses etc. The main role of the tracker is to allow the users to connect to each other and to transfer binary data from one machine to another.

Once connected, a Bittorrent client begins to download files from other members in small parts. After some parts are downloaded, the client starts to share with other users connected to the same swarm. The main advantage of Bittorrent is that users share already transferred parts with others directly during downloading. This technology provides a one of the fastest way of content spreading all over the unlimited number of computers. This way of sharing increases the download speed in x times. If 5,000 people download the same file, it can take minutes to download gigabytes of data.

Important: Bittorrent client never downloads a file from a tracker server. The tracker is only responsible for managing the connected users from the swarm and establishing connection between them, not for transfer real files between single members.

What is needed to start torrenting

Primary there are two important things needed to start downloading files using Bittorrent: a Bittorrent client and a torrent file. You can find many different clients for all operation systems by searching in internet with Google – all of them are mostly free of charge. You will need a torrent search engine to find good torrent file. There is a huge amount of different niche related sites that offer torrent files for download. Just search in Google for the site that would suit your needs.

Never ending discussion

It’s well-known that many people use Bittorrent to download pirated movies, music, software, books, games etc. Because of its bad image many voices say that Bittorrent was specially developed to support piracy, that the technology should be declared as illegal and that it needed to be shut down.

Let’s go to the past and see what was the main aim of Bittorrent Inc. to develop this protocol. The motivation was to create a system that would be able to handle unlimited amount of data using the resources of clients’ computers and not of a central server. In this way many companies could save money on expensive server costs. BT protocol should be a an ecological way to save resources of our planet. While one user receives information from another user, he uses resources of his own machine to retrieve the data. This is the main advantage of BT technology.

Some good examples of how Bittorrent can be used:

The games publisher Blizzard uses Bittorrent protocol they have integrated into own client to distribute updates their games like World of Warcraft, StarCraft II or Diablo 3.

People all over the world can use Bittorrent technology to distribute big sized files to unlimited numbers of other people without paying for the server hosting bandwidth. This is a big help for the smaller movie companies, music labels or game publishers cause in this way they reduce their costs. WikiLeaks uses Bittorrent to distribute data, Linux uses it for their ISO disc images. Bittorrent can be also used for synchronizing of files between several computers, for live broadcasting and streaming of videos to the large audience of viewers. There are many other examples that can be mentioned to underline the Bittorrent’s importance for the digital industry.

Conclusion

There could be many opinions about Bittorrent and the ways it is used now for. You can love it or hate it. But the main point and this is also the important one is that Bittorrent can be assigned to the outstanding developments of mankind of last years - technology that opens new possibilities and way of distributing of digital information all over the world without high investments into expensive hardware.
