theres probably a tutorial for this.

but w/e.

File>Create Torrent.

then select the files you want to transfer. hit create and save as. send the .torrent files to your friends. and start seeding. (under options theres the start seeding button)

im not sure but the dht should take care of connects your friends together.

DHT would be pretty damn slow, since AFAIK µT doesn't bootstrap it with your IP in the .torrent.

I'd suggest instead doing what vectorferret suggested: track the torrent using the internal tracker. You can do this by setting the tracker URL to http://ip:port/announce, replacing ip:port with your IP:port. Once you've got the .torrent sent out to your friends, you might want to change the IP to 'localhost'.

there's a great tutorial on this

Nice link, that. I've got to say, I think that it's only really useful if you seed with µTorrent, since most other BT clients don't have an integrated tracker.

Also, Firon, that's quite impressive.. I'm surprised that peers would be able to find each other so quickly. Wouldn't requests have to be routed through a lot of other nodes to reach each other..?
