schnurlos Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Read this:http://www.utorrent.com/torrent.php and search for "The Source"Here is where you specify the location of the content you wish to share. Before selecting the path chose whether you are sharing a single file or multiple ones. If you are making a torrent with more then one file those files must be located in a single folder, with nothing else in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 schnurlos what is the skip files field then for?maybe pelo wrote/borrowed the guidetext before that field in the gui was introduced?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyflip Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 thanks. i understand that, all the files that i want to share are in that directory, although there are a couple of files i would like to omit. if that guide says "with nothing else in it", then why have a "skip files" field anyway?

Ultima Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The description is in the user manual ;\The Skip Files field allows you to skip files using specific filters. This field only gets activated if you use the Add directory button. Wildcards can be used to specify multiple files.WildcardsIn several places in µTorrent, wildcards can be used in place of normal characters in order to specify a set of files that contain the characters beside the wildcards in its filename. The following may be used in those situations:* (asterisk) to match any text of any length? (question mark) to match any single character| (vertical pipe) is an "or" conditionalExample: *File?A*|File?B* matches any file that contains File?A anywhere in the filename (where ? is any single character, such as a space or an underscore), or any file that begins with File?B in its filename (again, where ? is any single character).

Ultima Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 It was an example, and you missed the explanation for it (I said any file that begins with File?. But you're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
