jewelisheaven Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 .torrent files are a FRACTION of the data they are made from. I am not sure but is it possible you need to re-download the torrent from the site to seed it? In that case you need to NOT check the "start seeding" for the create torrent dialog.

jewelisheaven Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yes. The torrent will be the 8 KiB file which you have to upload to the site you want to share the file on. The file BEING shared is 24.8 MiB and seeds just fine from your hard drive as long as the torrent is Seeding in the main torrent pane of uT.

jewelisheaven Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 The site you upload the torrent to knows how to read the torrent, so it will say (wherever it mentions files and filesize) FILE1 24.8 MiB Did you know there's a "creating torrents" guide on the Guides page (linked below)?
