Creating New Torrent

Hello everyone, you have till now only downloaded torrents. Today I am going to tell how to create a basic torrent using bittorrent or utorrent. Steps to create a torrent are-

     1. Go to 'File' menu of your torrent client (works in most clients).
    
     2. Click on 'Create New Torrent'.

     3. In 'Select Source', specify the location of the file for which you are creating a torrent.

     4. Leave 'Trackers' It will be discussed in the next post.

     5. Leave 'Web Seeds' for now. I will discuss them too in a separate post.

     6. Put any 'Comment' if you want to.

     7. Leave the 'Piece Size' to 'auto detect'.

     8. Tick 'Private Torrent' checkbox if you don't want it public.

     9. Click 'Create and save as'

     10. Specify the location.

     11. Click on 'Save' in the dialog box.

That's it. Now you have created a basic UNDOWNLOADABLE torrent (undownloadable means that till any seed is attached it cannot be downloaded). To make it downloadable (without any manual seeding), you need web seeds which I will discuss in the next post.
