Creating the TorrentGo to File>Create a Torrent (or, click on the 5th icon from the left in the toolbar near the top of the Azureus window, the one that looks like a piece of paper) The Create a Torrent Wizard will appear.
Options Available:
Use Azureus Embedded Tracker: Enable this if you wish to seed this torrent from your own tracker. Disable this by selecting Use External Tracker if you want the torrent hosted from other tracker or trackers. If this option is enabled, then you will find your own announce URL already entered in the Announce URL field below. This is for your convenience.
- Correct answer: DISABLE
Use SSL: This is normally disabled. If you feel you must enable it, please ensure that all the relevant SSL details in View>Configuration>Tracker are configured correctly, otherwise this torrent will not work. Please see ThisFunnyWord for more information about what SSL is.
- Correct answer: DISABLE
Use an external Tracker: Enable this if you wish to host this file from another tracker that is not your own. You may enter the Announce URL of the external tracker in the field labelled Announce URL:
Add Multi-Tracker information to the torrent: Please note, that even though it appears that you are unable to select both to Use Azureus Embedded Tracker and Use and external Tracker, both may be included in the .torrent file if this option is enabled. Multiple announce URLs may be added further on.
- Correct answer: ENABLE
- External Tracker URL:
http://www.mindwarppavilion.org/ezt/announce.phpSingle File: This option is for if you wish to share only one individual file.
- Correct answer: IGNORE
Directory: This option is for if you wish to share a directory of multiple files. Multiple files in random directories may not be shared, if you wish to share a group of files, please make one directory especially for them, or put all the files you wish to share into one existing directory. Please also ensure that there are no files in that directory which you wish not to share. If you are on a Mac, "Directory" is the same thing as "Folder", so choose Directory if you wish to share a folder with more than one file in it. Otherwise, just choose File. Important: If the file or folder contains an application (software), it is a good idea to either "zip" it, or make a .dmg file of it (on Mac OS), to make it less likely to become corrupted whilst it is being shared.
- Correct answer: SELECT
Comment: If you are anything like me, you may find it difficult to resist commenting about anything that comes your way. If this is the case, or even if there is some note you wish to make about your .torrent which you want all the people in the swarm to know, please type that comment into this field provided. If any of the peers are using Azureus, this comment will be displayed in the General tab of the specific torrent view. A note about the Comment field: If you enter a comment, and then come back to it later by pressing the Back button, the text you entered before will vanish. So please enter your comment carefully, and try not to go back to that view in the Wizard, or you will need to enter that text again. Hopefully this will be fixed in future versions.
- Correct answer: IGNORE
Choose a file/directory: You may enter the full accurate filepath, or you may press the browse button to choose the file or directory which you wish to share. This information will not vanish when you navigate back and forwards using the Back and Next buttons. Please note: Please ensure that the file or directory you are choosing has no spaces or funny characters in it, and no dangling spaces at the end. These can cause serious problems for some OSes, and not everybody sharing the file will necessarily have the same OS as you. So please use only letters and/or numbers in the file-name.
- Correct answer: BROWSE and then SELECT THE "DAID" DIRECTORY
Choose the torrent file to create: The actual .torrent file will be generated and saved in the directory you choose here. You may use the Browse button to select the location for the .torrent file to be saved. Piece Size, may be left at Auto, or you may select a piece size if you have a reason to.
When the message "File saved." appears in the window, you may close the window.
That is it! That's all you have to do, in Azureus, to make a torrent that will work on MWP. Go back to Torrents | Upload, fill out the upload form, attach this .torrent file, and you are done.
If all of this is still too hard, follow the above steps and e-mail me the .torrent file. I'll fill out the upload form and upload the .torrent file for you.
