How to create a torrent

Multe persoane m-a intreaba cum pot crea si ei un torrent si sa il trimita unui prieten, asa ca m-am gandit sa realizez un tutorial

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 its pretty easy, just put in one of the popular public trackers. You can use one or more trackers, but in general one is enough.

Put one of these in the tracker box

4. Do NOT tick the private torrent box (unless youre using a private tracker)

5. Save the torrent and send it to your friends

This way you can be your own tracker if the public tracker goes down.

4. Tracker server and DHT node list
Again, This is probably the hard part for most people. But its pretty easy, just put in one of the popular public trackers. You can use one or more trackers, but in general one is enough.

Happy sharing. Note that you dont need to upload the torrent to a website or a tracker. This means you control who gets the file and who doesnt, and it wont be visible to others!.
