getting started

[rolloks]

I have just started to d/l but can you advise how to upload ? thanks

If you're asking how to upload your own (new) content, see this guide.

If you're asking how to upload whatever it is that you're currently downloading, you don't need to do anything -- µTorrent already does it automatically for you while you're downloading.

i just started and finding it diffcult to do any thing.

[Ultima]

Have you read the beginner's guide and the user manual (F1 in µTorrent)?

[rolloks]

Thanks for the links, it looks complicated I am using BitTorrent do I need to change to utorrent??

[okanya chika]

i downloaded utorrent but it doesn't run on my system. am using windows vista

[rolloks]

I am running Vista as well, so I take it that you need to d/l utorrent,

rolloks, ignore okanya, as they are thread hijacking against the rules of these forums.

BitTorrent is just uTorrent with (unwanted?) extras...

[rolloks]

Switeck I will check the links you have given thanks.

I have installed "MakeTorrent v2.1" but still can't get the hang of uploading a torrent on the instructions on FAQ it say's [however, torrent communities have sprouted which take care of many of the details of running a tracker]

so do I need one (tracker) if so how do you get one? The same applies to a web server do I need and if so how do I get one?

I have d/l about 1GB and u/l zero I feel guilty! Why can't uploading process be simplified??

You can create a torrent from within uT... Ctrl-N new torrent dialog

[rolloks]

Thanks I opened the new torrent page OK, will work through the rest

Famous last words eh! btw I also found on BitTorrents.

I get the window Create a new torrent then Select Source > add file > I chose the file [in this case flute concertos-Vivaldi Stamitz] this then goes to the folder > I click open, it then shows all 9 tracks. This is where I get lost, in the new window 'select a file' I can not select all ?? But on the lower right of window is a button ( all files) which does not seem to do any thing for me so I select 1 file only, I am now taken back to the "create a new torrent " window >save . Repeat for track 2 . Now in the main torrent window I have the 2 tracks the 1st shows -seeding the 2nd shows seeding

Each shows 100% highlighted. On the speed bar at the bottom I have selected upload.

Nothing happens, also I have not added any typed info for torrent as there was not a window to use, I am not stupid but also am not a computer nerd so why is it so difficult?? The instructions are any thing but clear, like all things "its easy when you know how" very frustrated.

Further developments : I have had a modicum of success, I chose a piece in 1 longish mov and created a torrent, I then got as far as uploading to site but it would not u/l until seeded, how [in simple terms] do I seed a torrent?
