How to create a torrent? Just about the complex

It seems to me that if you are an active user of a computer network, it is not important for a beginner or experienced enough, you probably had to answer the question about where to get this or that necessary information, to hear something like: "Oh, and you download on torrents! There it is for sure! There's all there is! "

What kind of torrents are so magical? How to create a torrent? Is it possible for a typical average user? I'm going to tell you all about this in my article.

Section 1. What is a torrent file? The general definition of a concept.

I think that as quickly you would not want to get all the information you need, first of all you still need to define the very concept of the "new torrent", understand why it serves and how to actually use it in practice.

So, a torrent should be understood as a special protocol, which was once invented and invented to exchange files between several users of a computer network. Its main feature is that everyone can download files from a server, not directly from another person's computer, if necessary.

In general, the very principle of this protocol works quite cleverly, but at the same time very efficiently. If you want to download a file, the system will automatically select the most powerful source of information, but if something happens to the latter (for example, it turns off or the transmission speed drops dramatically), the protocol will automatically determine another, more efficient . In addition, it should be noted that all files are not downloaded in a consistent manner, but through various segments. This makes it possible to organize the distribution as flexibly as possible: once you start downloading this or that material, the system allows other users to download something from you.

Section 2. How to create a torrent? Step-by-step instruction.

Let's answer the question about how to create a torrent using a specific example. To do this, we will need to install a specially designed uTorrent program on the computer. Installed?

I propose step-by-step instructions on how to create a torrent. All that is required of you is to carefully follow each paragraph and try to remember the sequence of actions.

1. Find the "File" menu and click it. In the list that appears, select "Create a new torrent".
2. In the opened window click "Select file" if you need one archive, and "Select folder" for everything else. Confirm your choice - "ok."

Section 3. BitTorrent workflow

If you want to understand the procedure of creating a torrent more deeply, you need to realize that on the server that organizes the distribution of various files (they are, by the way, called torrent trackers), in fact, there is no information. All files, programs, movies, games and music are on the same hard drives as you, users. On the server is stored only a kind of list of attached files, and the server's task is to manage and coordinate this list.

Often happens and so that as if the file is, but it does not get to download at all, or the speed is too small. Experts recommend to wait. Most likely, a little later, as a rule, at night, new users will appear on the network and the distribution will be updated with a new intensity.

Also one of the positive aspects of this kind of program is that no serious resources of your computer will be used during the download or distribution, so you can do it in parallel with your own affairs.
