How to Seed Your Torrent For Others

1. Why is seeding required?
   A torrent file is nothing more than a plain text document that
   contains information used by a BitTorrent client to initiate a
   connection with a swarm of users (seeds and peers). If you only
   upload a torrent file to your tracker and never seed the torrent,
   people will never be able to actually download the torrented
   files from you. By seeding a torrent, you announce to the
   tracker that you have the complete file or fileset and are
   available to provide these files for download to other users
   (peers).
   
   
2. Seeding Your Torrent
   
   To begin seeding your torrent, you will need to open it in your
   default BitTorrent client. Torrent files can be opened in
   basically two different ways.
   
   
   1. Open a Torrent File Locally
      
   — Using this method, you would use a file explorer such as My Computer or Windows Explorer to locate (on your harddrive) the torrent that you created and double-click it. It should then open in your default BitTorrent client and ask your for a Save Location.
   2. Open a Torrent File Remotely
      
   — Using this method, you would click a hypertext link to the online location of the torrent file. If your web browser is configured properly, it should ask you if you want to Save or Open the torrent file when you click the link. By choosing Open, it should download the torrent file to a temporary folder, open it in your default BitTorrent client and prompt you for a Save Location. If your tracker allows torrent downloads (bnbt_allow_torrent_downloads), this can be done by clicking the link in the Torrent Download column that appears just after the Torrent Name column. NOTE: Your web browser might be configured to simply open torrent files by default, and you will never be asked if you want to save or open the torrent.
   
   If you were downloading the torrented files, you could
   choose any save location, however, because you are seeding the
   torrent, it is necessary for you to choose a specific location
   (and filename).
   
   Upon opening the torrent file, you will be prompted for a save
   location. If the torrent is for a single file, you will also be
   prompted for a filename.
   
   
   1. If you are torrenting a SINGLE FILE:
      
   — you should select that file on your hard drive when you are prompted for a save location and filename.
   2. If you are torrenting a SET OF FILES (FOLDER):
      
   — you should select the folder on your hard drive that contains the torrented files, when you are prompted for a save location.
   
   Your client will then begin to hash the file contents on your
   hard drive (checking existing data) and will compare it to the
   hash information stored in the torrent file. If everything
   matches, your client should report that the torrent is complete
   (Download Succeeded) and will then contact the tracker to
   announce this information.
   
   PLEASE NOTE: Some BitTorrent clients use color-coding to indicate
   the status of your torrent. Please do not be concerned if your
   torrent does not go green immediately. This will not happen
   until someone has started downloading the torrented files from you.
   This usually doesn't happen when you start seeding a torrent
   initially, because no one has had a chance to get the
   torrent file yet.
   
   Some Important Guidelines
   
   
   • Seed your torrent for as long as possible.
     
   • Seed your torrent until it is well seeded and has at least
     2 other seeds (people who have finished downloading).
     
   • Check back often to make sure that your torrent isn't left
     with 0 seeds and reseed the torrent as necessary.
     
   
   The number of seeds and peers will be displayed in your tracker's
   table of torrents. If the tracker supports the scrape
   function, the number of seeds and peers can also be retrieved
   using TorrentSpy. BNBT EasyTracker is configured by default to
   support the scrape function

3. Reseeding Your Torrent
   
   The procedure for reseeding your torrent is exactly the same as
   the initial seeding process.
   
   
4. Seeding Torrents Tracked by Your Tracker
   
   Because your tracker will be running on your home computer, it
   may be necessary for you to configure your computer and your
   BitTorrent client further to be able use your own tracker
   for seeding and downloading torrented files on your tracker.
   
   TEST #1: Can you visit your tracker using your Internet IP
   Address?
   
   Make sure that your tracker is running and click the button below
   to open your tracker's website. This button will only work if you
   the port number is specified correctly.
   
   
   Enter your Internet IP Address here:
   
   
   NOTE: If the above value starts with 192.168, please replace it
   with your actual Internet IP Address.
   
   Enter your tracker's port number here:
   
   
   Did your tracker page load?
   
   
   
   
   
   TEST #2: Is your Internet IP Address reported to the
   tracker properly?
   
   This test should only be done if you can currently answer YES
   to Test #1.
   
   
   1. Create a torrent that uses your tracker's Announce URL and
      upload the torrent to the tracker.
      
   2. Begin seeding the torrent.
      
   3. Open your tracker and click the Torrent Name to view the
      stats for your torrent.
      
   
   You should be listed as a seed in the peer table near the
   bottom.
   
   If the IP Address listed, starts with 192.168, you will need
   to configure your BitTorrent client to report your actual
   Internet IP Address. Please refer to the Appendix for help
   in making this configuration change.
   
   If the IP Address listed is your actual Internet IP Address,
   no further configuration is necessary.

Apa Itu BitTorrent??

BitTorrent ialah nama bagi sebuah protokol pengagihan fail pengguna ke pengguna (p2p), dan juga nama bagi perisian pelanggan bebas bagi protokol tersebut. Pada asalnya, protokol BitTorrent direkabentuk dan dicipta oleh Bram Cohen, seorang pengatur cara, tetapi kini ia diuruskan oleh BitTorrent Inc.

BitTorrent merupakan satu cara perkongsian fail yang bersaiz besar tanpa memerlukan kos lebar jalur, pelayan dan perkakas oleh pengedar fail yang asal.

Penggunaan protokol ini telah menyebabkan berlakunya permintaan perkhidmatan jalur lebar yang tinggi oleh masyarakat dunia amnya kerana ia memudahkan perkongsian fail walaupun dalam saiz dan bilangan yang amat besar.

Asas Penggunaan Client BitTorent

Client BitTorrent merupakan program yang menggunakan protokol BitTorrent. Setiap klien berkeupayaan untuk menyedia, meminta dan mengangkut sebarang fail computer melalui jaringan menggunakan protokol tersebut.

Untuk berkongsi sesuatu fail, pengguna mestilah menyediakan satu fail .torrent yang mengandungi metadata tentang fail tersebut bersama-sama trackernya (penjejak).

Pengguna yang ingin mendapatkan fail tersebut mestilah memuat turun fail .torrent terlebih dahulu. Kemudian pengguna harus membuka fail tersebut menggunakan mana-mana Client BitTorrent seperti μTorrent.

Bahasa-Bahasa BitTorrent

• Uploader Ialah User Yang Upload Sesuatu File Ke Torrent Site Untuk Di Kongsi Oleh User Lain.Uploader Adalah Merupakan Seeder Yang Pertama.

• Seeder Ialah orang/user yang mempunyai file yang complete dlm pc nya tetapi tidak semestinya seorang Uploader.

• Leecher Ialah Orang yang tidak mempunyai file yang complete (juga dikenali sebagai PEER).Leecher akan download file dari seeder (dan juga akan upload “piece” file yg dia ada kepada peer/leecher lain yg tidak mempunyai piece tersebut)

• Tracker Ialah engine@script yang “keep track” sesiapa yang ada (seed/leech) apa dan piece file apa yang member tu ada.

• Swarm Ialah kumpulan computer yang terlibat dengan activiti satu torrent tertentu.

• Ratio Ialah Jumlah Total yang anda Upload/Total yang anda Download. Juga dipanggil stats.

• Client Ialah program/software yang digunakan untuk download Bit Torrent.

• Rehash Ialah bahasa yang digunakan untuk membuka file .torrent.

• WTR Dalam Bahasa Penuh Ialah Wait Time Ratio Yang Bermaksud Masa Menunggut Tertentu Yang Di Tetapkan Oleh Owner Torrent Site Untuk Membolehkan User Download Torrent.Walaubagaimanapun User Boleh Bypass WTR Jika Sudah Mencukupi Syarat Yang Di Tetapkan Oleh Torrent Site

Integriti Dalam Penggunaan BitTorrent

UNTUK MEMASTIKAN TORRENT FILE TU TERUS HIDUP DAN MEMBOLEHKAN MEMBER LAIN DAPATKAN FILE YANG DIKONGSI TU, PASTIKAN UTK TERUS SEED FILE TERSEBUT SEHINGGA LAH RATIO KAT CLIENT UTK FILE TERSEBUT PALING-PALING KURANG PUN 1:1

Caranya senang: jangan buang torrent file kat client tu setelah korang habis donlod. Dan pastikan file tu terus jalan, walaupun donlod korang dah complete.

Kalu nak jadi member komuniti yang bagus lagi, jangan buang torrent tersebut walaupun tak dak orang nak donlod file tersebut. Mungkin, member-member yang register baru juga berminat nakkan file tersebut. So dari situ, korang boleh terus seed sahaja.

Juga, sekali sekala ucaplah terima kasih kepada uploader jika korang dapati file yang depa upload tu memang berguna utk korang.

Semoga dengan ucapan korang, uplaoder bertambah semangat utk berusaha utk cari file2 yang bermutu bagi dikongsi kepada member-member yang tak tahu mana nak cari file-file tersebut. Ada ruangan komen kat page torrent detail tu utk tujuan ini. Nak taip ucapan terima kasih ni, tak amik masa yg panjang dan tak payah pun, dan tak effect kat masa korang nak siapkan file yang di donlod tuh. Sesungguhnya uploader neh, mmg tak dapat faedah pun dari file yg depa upload, tapi oleh kerana sayangnya depa kat komniti neh, sanggup upload/seed file berhari-hari tanpa off pc.
