some md5 questions before uploading my first torrent

[gideon77]

Hello, in the explannation on the site they seem to suggest that I don't have to create a simple md5 file in trader's little helper. Is there a difference with md5 files you create on for example dime a dozen? Also, I think I have to paste the md5 file into a field. But how can you do that? I have to add that I'm using a screenreader and that it's possible that I can't read everything. But I actually don't think so. Thx for any help.

Right clicking to the md5 file and hitting edit doesn't work at the moment. I tried it with another md5 file not created by me. Is it in windows explorer that you have to do the right-click?

No need to paste the md5 into a field when uploading a torrent, you can paste the ffp's there instead.

Thanks for the reply. It's been a while since I uploaded something so I think I forgot how to create ffp files. What I would do is convert the wav files into flac files and creating an md5 file with trader's little helper and also creating a txt file with the info. Then I make a torrent of the flac files, the md5 and the txt. But I forgot about ffp. :-)

Ok, I found that you also have the ffp option in trader's little helper. If I open that ffp file in wordpad and if I copy all the text in that field, is it ok like that?
