| In order to share a single file or a file-set on the [[bittorrent|BitTorrent]] Network, the person who wants to share the content (and who will be the initial uploader/[[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#seeds|seeder]]) has to create first a small file called a "//.torrent//" file (e.g. //MySharedContent.torrent//). This file contains [[wp>metadata]] about the shared files and the eventual [[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#tracker|trackers]] for the torrent (such as [[wp>Hash_code|hash]] value, file size and name, [[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#tracker|piece]] size and hash, tracker IP etc.). | In order to share a single file or a file-set on the [[bittorrent|BitTorrent]] Network, the person who wants to share the content (and who will be the initial uploader/[[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#seeds|seeder]]) has to create first a small file called a "//.torrent//" file (e.g. //MySharedContent.torrent//).

| In order for the others to be able to access (download) the content you want to share they must possess the //.torrent// file you have just created for that content first. Therefore you'll have to make sure that you propagate it through some means. The most used and easy way is to upload the //.torrent// file on a [[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#torrent|torrent]] index web site, from where other users who are searching for the respective content will be able to download it and after that, their clients will automatically initiate BitTorrent downloads from you, by using the metadata information contained inside the //.torrent// file to locate the eventual tracker and eventually you as a seeder as well as the other peers in the swarm. | In order for the others to be able to access (download) the content you want to share they must possess the //.torrent// file you have just created for that content first.
