Create magnet link with uTorrent?

[znour0]

Is it possible?

[moogly]

Yes. Right click on a torrent job.

Copy Magnet URI... copies a magnet URI link to the Windows clipboard for the selected torrent job(s), multiple URIs separated by newlines.

And you can add some parameters to the basic magnet:

yup, thanks! Think, it is best add an menu item "Create magnet link..."

Why? There's nothing to really "create" -- the magnet URI it's already deterministically known, so all that's needed is for µTorrent to copy it into the clipboard, hence the name of the menu item.

I want to share a file, i just want to publish the magnet link somewhere without create a torrent for this file before.

In another works, how to get a magnet link from a file stored im my hardisk.

It's possible?

Thanks

Not with torrent clients.

You MUST make a torrent file.

[Ultima]

You have to create it because other users need to be able to download the info dictionary from you, and the only way that's possible is to have a copy on hand to send in the first place. Magnet URIs aren't purely self-contained.

@jeronumo

In case that's what you intended to say... You do not need to upload the .torrent file anywhere if you give the hash with the URI magnet link format to others BUT of course you will always need to create the .torrent file before, otherwise how would you get any torrent hash. I hope that makes sense to you.

Hi, I need the dummies guide for osx.

I've opened utorrent, gone file > newtorrent > add directory > selected the directory

Left everything default (start seeding is on)

Create and Save As

gave it a name

it puts the warning up, please give a tracker. Don't want one, as we're using a magnet, so click ok to continue without tracker.

It reads the file and adds it to my list of 'all' and 'completed'.

At this stage, right clicking on the file in 'all' list doesn't offer me a magnet uri.
