You'll also need a tracker, this is a good public one: click me as is this: click me You basicly have to get the tracker url provided on their sites and make sure you put it in the torrent when you create it, Azureus makes it pretty clear where to put it. This doesnt require you to upload the torrent to their site in order to track it so you can just upload it straight to an index site like this but they requires you to upload it to their site in order to track it I believe. Then you can also upload it to other index sites. If you need any more help, let me know

This actually has its own tracker. You just click create torrent, choose the file, and click create. Done, then just upload the torrent file to a website and start sharing/seeding.darksbane said:You'll also need a tracker, this is a good public one: click me as is this: click me You basicly have to get the tracker url provided on their sites and make sure you put it in the torrent when you create it, Azureus makes it pretty clear where to put it.

I didnt click that link based on the url as it looks like somethin I've already seen, possibly because its the same as the link in your first post, though I didn't click it either. Just for the record, not all P2P/bittorrent stuff is piracy, there is plenty of legitimate stuff out there that is not in breach of any copyrights. For example, there are plenty of Linux distributions that are completely free to download and have http and ftp download sites but they also use bittorrent as an option to download their iso's as it saves on their bandwidth. Another use of it, something I use fairly often, is to transfer files to friends, particularly those on dialup as it gives them an easy option to receive files from me with resume capabilities without one of us having to go to the trouble of setting up an ftp server.
Also, just had another thought, Azureus and a few other clients support trackerless torrents, in which case you don't need a tracker, you can just create torrents and upload them to an index site

lol if you look at the bottom of each post some moronic mod has editted all the posts and added in that BS movie for every link.darksbane said:
What an idiot!
There is nothing wrong with posting links to bittorrent clients you stupid moron.
Sure, remove links to torrent sites, but bittorrent clients are perfectly legal and can be used to distribute legal content.
As I said before, Bitcomet is a good program which I like. (have a search)

lol then you're both moronic idiots.playboy2njoy said:
Go have a look on the site itself... www.bitcomet.com ... it is a bittorrent client!
bittorrent is a legal form of distribution depending on what is shared.
The bitcomet site has absolutely no mention or linking to of illegal activities, it is simply a client and the site is simply where someone goes to get this free client.
Hmm, well what'cha know, the site has no hosted pirated material, in fact there aren't even any sites listed on the bitcomet site which have 'hosted pirated material'.
jeez, crazy misinterpretation of weird bureaucratic BS.
edit: Sorry... but I just don't like the fact that my post was editted without my knowledge and without notification for what I believe is a very stupid reason.

This thread was brought to my attention by a user who expressed confusion and concern regarding the rules for this forum.
I have made available a copy of the 'guidelines for moderators' in the forum rules thread.
If you feel that an action taken by a moderator is inconsistent with those guidelines, you should present your case to them in a rational and civil manner via PM. A right of appeal lies to the super moderators, and, at our discretion, to the administrators.
Embarking upon a public campaign concerning your grievances with moderators is strongly frowned upon.

Just my instincts, but the way in which this particular mod editted the posts above leads me to believe that a PM will get absolutely no where.
I suggest the particular mod reviews the so-called 'rules' and actually develops some form of knowledge regarding Tech and 'IT Stuff', particularly determing the difference between what is legal and not.

Hello,treelovinhippie said:
Your posts were edited to allow your discussion to remain while removing innapropriate links. Otherwise, the entire thread would be deleted.
If you had concerns, I left you an edit message so it would not be some 'anonymous mod editing my posts', and you could private message me if need be.
Open abuse of the moderator team does nothing to resolve this issue. I removed all associated links to bittorrent websites, and I was unaware that one of these was not infringing copyright. As this was so, you should have messaged me to alert myself to this error, and I would have gladly put that link back for you.
If you have a concern about how I moderate this forum, which as we have seen was a mistake on my behalf over the contents of your hyperlink, then publically seeking to degrade me will not get you anywhere. I do not see why you couldn't send me a private message, but instead chose to jump to conclusions about why your post was edited.treelovinhippie said:
*shrugs*
If you have further grievances over this matter, please message me and we can talk it through if you would like. I would like to promote as much discussion on these forums as possible, whilst not bordering into illegal material.
Kind Regards,
MedNez
