Fw: Instructions for BitTorrent sharing for UKHA Video

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxx>]

Almost !

One person creates the .torrent file, and then everyone runs it. All those
clients participate in uploading and downloading - so if you have the
whole thing, you help upload and share out.

The Torrent will be checksum'ed, etc so if three people with the same ISO
create a torrent, all three Torrents will be different.

Thanks Gareth.

I've only used BitTorrent to download stuff before...... when I have the
iso in my hands, can I make mine a share of that without downloading it?

ie:-

All 3 of us that have the DVD make a torrent that BitTorrent sees as the
same file so that we have 3 sources initially without starting from one
source and only having additionals when people download it?

That was a bit confusing!
