Clear the Torrent File from your torrent client (remove it..you are starting fresh)> Select your torrent file pasted in your thread> point the torrent to the existing directory on your hard drive> torrent client will check the files & begin seeding out -its only difficult the first time.. you will be fine ![]() No members have liked this post.

Once you upload the initial .torrent file, you just download the file from the thread like a normal leecher would, except you 'point' the 'save as...' location to the folder that has all the data in it. The tornet client see it, verifies to 100% and you become a (nearly) instant seed. No members have liked this post.

Re: I am either too tired or yeah I am too tired
I've tried that, and I even tried downloading uTorrent(recommended by a few members) and that looks just as confusing too. Plus, now its telling me I got a problem with my "port" I had that issue over at DIME, and pretty much that is too difficult, my router is a Seimens, and the default passwords dont work.

Re: I am either too tired or yeah I am too tired
I would not worry about your ports right now. As a seeder, it isn't quite as important that you not be firewalled. So, let worry about getting you connected.
- First, stop the torrent (red square) - Now, delete the torrent from bittorrent (red X) - Now go into Preferences and make sure it is NOT set to always download to the same folder automatically. - Now go to the thread and click on the torrent file and save it to your harddrive (note where it is being saved) - Now go to that torrent and double-click it to start it - BitTorrent should ask you where you want to save the files (if it doesn't, then you didn't do the third step) - Tell it where your folder is that you picked to make the torrent file - It will say something like "Are you sure you want to put them there? There are already files there." Say Yes - It will then go through and verify that you have 100% of the torrent - Now it should go into Seeding Mode. If it doesn't, you may have to select that torrent in the BitTorrent Window and then select the Green arrow to tell it to start. Go through these steps and if something doesn't work right, let me know what step you are having problems on. (Do you have AIM? Cuz I'm on there.)

Re: I am either too tired or yeah I am too tired
Hey, I just noticed a "wrinkle" in my torrent. When I first got it up on the tracker, but didn't seed it. It is listed that the file size is 39.9KB which is incorrect. All the torrent files on my hard drive are for 40KB in size, and I have a feeling that is why all the leechers are stuck at 99.95%
Is there a way I can edit that, without starting over from scratch?? ![]() No members have liked this post.

Re: I am either too tired or yeah I am too tired
Can it still have the same name? Does the old one get stopped? I was gonna wait till I got home from work to do it. I noticed that only one person is under 99.95% so I figured that would the best time to redo it. once he get to that point as well.
