Creating and uploading a torrent.
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 7:51 am
Very seriously confused about what to do after creating, and uploading, a torrent to a website.
The confusion comes from not actually knowing what to do, once a torrent is created and uploaded.
Do I leave Deluge running? Do I add the torrent that I created from a very large Iso file on my hard drive, to the "download" list? Do I "pause downloads" by hitting the pause button so that I don't start downloading other pieces that become available from my torrent, that other people are downloading? Do I MONITOR the torrent in the downloads window?
Do I select the "tracker" selection in the nav pane on the left hand side, but NOT downloads? None of that really is quite explained, or easy to find.
I'd really appreciate some help. Just to re-iterate, I have absolutely no trouble creating a torrent, adding a proper tracker, and uploading the torrent at all. It's the "after uploading" part that I don't quite get.
Regards,
Marsh
