loyferns Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi guys,Firstly, keep up the good work..Utorrent is a rockin clientJust a quick question, ive downloaded a file and ive moved it from the default folder to another folder. I dont see any upload activity on that file ?How can I make a folder that is a shared folder, i tried goin through preferences and tried changing the "Location of Downloaded Files" folder, but cant see any option to specify the shared folderThanks,Loy Ferns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 BitTorrent doesn't have a concept of "shared folders." You share only what you've downloaded, and only if the torrent for the respective data is started.http://www.utorrent.com/guides.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 LOTS of active-but-no-peers torrents plus DHT active might be similar to sharing alot of folders full of files. But it would certainly be inefficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitch Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 But what you can do is use File - Add Torrent, then upload to a public, no registration tracker like http://tracker.prq.to/announce, or just upload the .torrent to one of the trackers with a web interface.

Honeyfrog Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 IMO, the far-and-away best method of sharing a large amount of unrelated stuff (especially tiny stuff) is eMule.Hmm...that reminds me: The latest version of Azureus has, I hazily recall, a setting one can click while creating torrents to make them compatible with ED2K and other networks. (I have no idea how it implements that...I suppose it generates a .torrent file which also has the characteristics of a ED2K "collection", or uses 9.87mb piece sizes or some such. I never played with it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Honeyfrog,none of those, such "compatible" .torrents would just embed ed2k-hash keys for all listed files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
