Re: Need help getting first upload to work!!!!! HELP!!!!!

I decided to take an educated guess, based on what I did on Dime after I had to stop and move a torrent from one hard drive to another (also thanks to mooncusser). This seemed to have worked. Hope this helps anybody else.

- I deleted the torrent that was stuck in my client.

- I clicked on the torrent link in the thread for my torrent, like I was going to download it.

- I then pointed that via my client to my directory that has the files.

I'd like to ask if the seeding instructions up here could be changed from this:

"You may now open the .torrent file with your BitTorrent client of choice. After it checks the files, your client will register itself as a seed with the tracker."

To something like this:

"To start seeding your torrent you now need to click on the torrent link in your forum announcement; just as if you were wanting to download it. Then in your client make sure to change the directory to download/upload to match the directory that contains your files for this torrent".

I know all this is second nature to folks who have been doing it for years, but for newbies like me things really need to be spelled out.
