| 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.

| After that all that's left for you to do, is to upload the //.torrent// file on one or more index sites and wait for other peers to find the stuff you shared on that site, download the //.torrent// file and start downloading from you. Therefore, don't forget to leave your client and the task running continuously for a while (at least until you can see another one or two additional seeds created inside the swarm). | After that all that's left for you to do, is to upload the //.torrent// file on one or more index sites and wait for other peers to find the stuff you shared on that site, download the //.torrent// file and start downloading from you.

| | <html><span style=color:darkred;font-weight:bold>Attention!</span><br></html><file>If you upload your torrent on private trackers' index sites you'll be required to re-download the .torrent file you |
| | uploaded and add it in your Task List before being able to seed (at least most of them will ask you this). |
| | That is because they modify the .torrent file and embed pass-keys in it in order to permit access to the tracker only |
| | for their members. |
| | |
| | Therefore, make sure that you remove from your Task List the task which was added when you clicked on the "Make Torrent" |
| | button. |
| | After that re-download the .torrent file which you uploaded to the index site, then in the Task Properties dialog |
| | that pops up, point it to the location where the files of the torrent reside and after the automatic hash-check that |
| | will follow, it will be added as a seeding task in your Task List.</file> |
| | **Therefore, make sure that you read very attentively the uploading rules for every index site you will use.** |
