creating and seeding a torrent and other guides by modtang
 
Part 1: Creating a torrent using G3
1. Click on the File menu at the top of the window. Select Create New Torrent.
 
2. In the box under Announce URL, put in the URL of the tracker you are using. In this case I've used the Mongo56 tracker in the example. Assuming we are uploading a folder containing an album, click on Add Folder.
 
3. Browse for the directory you want to share. Click on it, then click OK.
 
4. Click Next. A Creating Torrent window will pop up. It will then ask you to browse for the folder you want to share. This is an almost identical step to the one above (#3).
 
5. Browse for the directory you have torrented to share. Click on it, then click OK.
 
6. If you've done everything correctly your torrent should load in the main window, show your status as Seeding and percentage at 100%. If not, you've done something wrong along the way. Go back to the beginning and try again.
 
 
Part 2: How to seed/reseed in G3
1. Click on the File menu at the top of the window. Select Add Torrent (No default save).
 
2. Find the torrent file you want to seed/reseed. Click on it and choose Open.
 
3. Browse for the folder that has the downloaded/created torrent. Click on it and choose OK.
 
6. If you've done everything correctly your torrent should load in the main window, show your status as Seeding and percentage at 100%. If not, you've done something wrong along the way, you don't have 100% of the torrent, or you moved/changed something since you downloaded/created it.
