Hello,

I have been DLing and Seeding for a long time now, but I am needing to make a torrent. Now all this will be for is me and 2 friends who are not local. I have the data and I have the create torrent box open and the data selected, but from there I am not sure what else is needed.

Do I need a tracker, or WebSeeds? This is not meant for public distribution, just fairly large size file sharing.

What all is needed for this?

THANKS!

Thank you, sorry I forgot to RTFM.....

Leads me to another question or 2.

I got my IP and port from a couple of those whatismyip type sites, and they all agreed, but when I loaded it, and I can select open container file and its all there, it says Offline (Timed Out). How am I timed out from my own external IP?

Which also leads me to my second question, which has to do with my internet as a whole. I have SBC DSL due to lack of options at this point and time, 3mb down 1mb up.(I know it's horrible). About once a week I have to reboot the modem and my router to keep internet speeds usable. Since uTorrent is on 24/7 could that be the problem, or are there some settings I should generally avoid which can make your internet service just awefull? Previously the speed hadn't been a problem, aside from hindering my ratio due to upload speed, however, I built a new system and went from XP32 to 7 64, and went from uTorrent 1.8.2 if memory serves, to the current version as of 2 months ago (2.0.4) and also immediatly started having these issues. Thoughts?

**Edit**

The find my IP site said my port was 56202 and the Setup Guide says im 31207, how do I know which is correct?
