Back again I see? That’s cool. Anyways, you’re here to learn how to get torrents with lots of trackers right?

But wait, for some of you out there, you may not know what this means. What I mean is that you’re trying to get a torrent and a lot of the trackers who are tracking this as well.

For example, I might want to download a 311 album from Mininova. Let’s say it has 7 seeders and 8 leechers. You look at another tracker and find that it has the same torrent! After downloading it, you find that you now are connected to 20 seeders and 30 leechers! What if you could find most of the sites that are carrying this same torrent and download them all at the same time?

That’s what I come to teach you today.

What you’ll need:

• Mozilla Firefox (Getfirefox.com)
• The Greasemonkey Extension (Firefox Addons)
• The OnCLick Torrentz Userscript for Greasemonkey (Get It Here)

Got it all? Alright, now down to business.

Going with the example from before, you wanna search for 311. Where may you ask? Why, at Torrentz.com of course!

After finding the torrent you want on there, you should be able to click it and have it go to the torrent. After listing all of the trackers that have the same torrent, you’ll see a “get all!” button. Click this button, and you can download from most (because the script cannot handle all of the sites listed as of now) of the sites.

Once you click that button, you should get a lot of pop-up dialogs asking if you’d like to save the file, open it in uTorrent or any other program. Open it in uTorrent (or your respecive torrent client). Saving isn’t necessary, but may be a good idea if you want to refer to that torrent later down the line.

After the dialog boxes are all gone, tell your client that it’s alright to add trackers to the torrent you just added. In a little bit, watch the magic as it *should* go faster!

And that’s it. Simple eh? Sure it was!

Keep it legal and keep it clean! Have fun

I’ve already created the video on how to do it here. Videos and pictures are always better than a lot of text!

I went over in the first podcast on how to go about making your own torrents and uploading them. However, since it may be hard to comprehend without text, I figured “What the heck” and wrote a text version.

So you got a file or two that you haven’t found on any torrent sites or that you’ve made your own copy of, right? You wanna get your stuff out there so everybody can download it and help people everywhere!

The only problem is, how are you going to do it?

Today, that is what I’m going to teach you; the art of making (Bit)torrents. Note: my personal preference is uTorrent. This doesn’t mean that uTorrent is the only way to go about making torrents, but it will be described in this how-to.

Here’s what you’re going to need:

• uTorrent (uTorrent.com)

First off, place all the files you want in a folder somewhere. For the sake of this how-to, we’ll say you’re uploading your album, No Wrong, from your band called That’s Right. A good place to put them would probably be in a folder on your desktop. Let’s call this folder No Wrong-That’s Right. What you name the folder is what is going to show up when people download the torrent. (When the person downloads your torrent, it’ll show up as No Wrong-That’s Right as the torrent name.) This is a good idea because the user needs to know what album and artist they’re downloading. Copy and paste all of your music into this folder.

You might also want to make an NFO file to tell the user just what exactly they’re downloading. In the example above, you might want to have in the NFO what the band is called, year of recording, genre, duration, album and the name and length of each track included. If you do it, I find that I when I look for torrents, it helps me distinguish ones that are more credible than others. To make NFO files, just pop up notepad, type in all of the information and save it as something.nfo. Replace the something with whatever your heart desires. You can also download NFO Creator to do it for you.

So you got your files ready to go? Good. Now let’s make that torrent file.

To do this, open uTorrent and click File>Create New Torrent. You should see a box pop up, like the one above. If you’re adding a single file, click “Add File.” Otherwise, click Add Directory and add the directory you want to upload. In the example, that’d be on the desktop with the folder “No Wrong-That’s Right.”

The next step is to put some trackers there. You may not know what to put here, but don’t be scared. Mininova has some good free tracker links if you need them:

• http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce
• http://www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce
• http://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
• udp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
• http://www.sumotracker.com/announce
• http://pirates.sumotracker.com/announce

You can copy and paste these into the tracker box. If you plan on uploading to The Pirate Bay, then you should sign up there first and copy their tracker URL into the box.

The last, and easiest, part is to check “Start seeding” to begin seeding (uploading) your torrent to everybody else as soon as you save it.

Create your torrent, save it on your desktop and BAM! You got yourself a torrent file!

Make sure to leave your uTorrent window open to keep seeding to the rest of the people downloading it.

What else left to do now? Upload it to a torrent site of course!

You have a couple of options to choose from on where you want to upload it, but I tend to upload mine to either The Pirate Bay or Mininova. I’d recommend both sites. You have to sign up at The Pirate Bay, but it’s free! For Mininova, you can upload here.

You should leave your uTorrent window open for about 24hours or until at least 5 people download and start seeding.

That’s basically it. If you have any questions about uploading torrents or making them etc, feel free to ask me on AIM or something. Thanks for staying and I hope you have a good day!
