This thread is a step-by-step guide that will guide you through the process of creating a torrent and sharing it with others. It's quite easy!

Step 1

Download the latest version of MakeTorrent (currently v2.1) here : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/burst/maketorrent-2.1.exe?download

It wil list many different mirrors/locations to download the file from, simply choose the location closest to you to get the fastest speed (although MakeTorrent v2.1 is only 394kb so it won't take long regardless).

Once the download finishes, install the program by double-clicking the file.

Now click install and you're done.

Step 2

Now that you have the application installed that creates the torrent file, you will want to get the files you plan on sharing all together in 1 place.

If you don't already have a folder to store the file(s) you plan on sharing/seeding, create one, I usually do it on the desktop because it's easy to keep track off.

Now that you have your folder, drag and drop the file(s) you want to share into the newly created folder.

OPTIONAL: If you'd like to help us and increase the exposure of TheNudeBoard and thus increase active members who post pictures, consider adding a link to TheNudeBoard.com inside the torrent.

It’s easy, you can simply drag the icon to the left of TheNudeBoard (in your internet browser) into your newly created folder and it will automatically create a shortcut to TheNudeBoard. We greatly appreciate your support if you choose to do this! :)

^Drag this icon into your newly created folder

NOTE: Before going to the next step you may want to consider using WinZIP or WinRAR to compress the file(s) to lower the overall filesize which in turn is lowering the size of the file other peers download. I will ammend this guide soon with a more in-depth guide on how to do this. In the meantime, it's pretty self-explanatory, download WinZip (http://www.download.com/WinZip/3000-2250_4-10404821.html?tag=lst-4-1) , choose your folder and click compress. Compress your folder after you have already put all of the files you wish to share in it.


Step 3

Ok, so you have everything together that you want to share/seed, now lets create the torrent file. The torrent file is the actual file you upload to other websites/torrent trackers that others download which allows them to connect to the torrent.

Launch MakeTorrent…this is what you’ll see :

You have your choice between Simple and Classic. I personally prefer Classic.

After choosing 'Classic', click ‘dir’ (or ‘file’ if you aren’t creating the torrent from a folder) and browse to the folder you created and click ok.

Next you are required to fill in the ‘Tracker:’ field with the tracker you are using. A BitTorrent tracker centrally coordinates the P2P transfer of the files among users(seeds/peers).

A few recommended trackers:
http://tracker.prq.to/announce (this is thepiratebay.org tracker)
http://mongo56.org:3434/announce

Which tracker to use? Well, arguably torrents at thepiratebay.org get the most exposure, and only torrents using their tracker can be uploaded there.

Some may choose not to use thepiratebay's tracker because it's known to timeout frequently (however lately it does seem they've improved the stability of the tracker)

Now that you have all of the required inputs filled in, click ‘Create .torrent now!’. It will ask you where you want to save the torrent file, I usually choose the desktop because once again, it’s easy to keep track of. Choose whatever location you want and click ok…you’ll see a progress bar come up and when it’s done you’ll see the ‘Finished’ button, click it and you’re all done creating the torrent file!

Step 4

Now that you have your torent file created, anyone that downloads it can connect to the torrent and download it.

Double-click the newly created torrent file, it will open your BitTorrent client, choose the folder where you already have the file(s) and click ok. It should say ‘checking existing data’ and then put you in ‘seeder’ mode. This is NOT AN OPTION. If you don’t seed your torrent, nobody will be able to download the file(s)!!

Now let’s add the torrent to some websites so it gets a lot of exposure, afterall, the more peers that download the torrent, the more seeds/peers there will be and the faster everyone will receive the file(s)

If you used thepiratebay.org’s tracker and don’t already have an account there, create an account so you can add the torrent to the directory there.

Register your piratebay account here : http://thepiratebay.org/register.php

Once registered click here to upload the torrent : http://thepiratebay.org/upload.php

Now let’s add the torrent to a few more places:

The torrent category here at TheNudeBoard.com (of course!) : http://thenudeboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

Register at http://www.torrentreactor.net and upload the torrent. (You will want to do this, it will get a lot of exposure!)

Register at filesoup.co.uk and post the torrent in their porn forum: http://filesoup.co.uk/forum/index.php?showforum=124

Add it to http://www.porntorrent.org

ALL FINISHED! You now have a torrent that you are 'seeding' and that others are downloading from various sites...REMEMBER, try to seed for as long as you possibly can!!

the blue line you speak of, where is it showing up? screenshot maybe?

If it says 0 peers it's because nobody has downloaded the torrent yet, have you added it to torrent websites?

just about all of the trackers listed in maketorrent don't operate anymore.

I'd recommend using http://mongo56.org:3434/announce as your tracker, cut and paste that into the tracker field in Make Torrent.

After it makes the torrent double click the torrent file it creates...then post the torrent here and on other torrent sites.

Also, you probably want to go into your bittorrent preferences and edit your port range to 6881-6999.

I downloaded MakeTorrent2 but it doesn't work. Possibly due to the fact that I am running 64-bit. Any suggestions so I can share ? :)

1st post :)

The easiest way to make a torrent is to simply use Azureus BitTorreont client.
Then you just go File, Create Torrent, and pick the file/folder.
And can track from your own pc or an outside tracker.

Simple as hell to set up.... its what i use all the time to share with friends.
