Doogie
No-one had replied so thanks ;)
What is a tracker exactly? Can I make my own?
The rest is self explanatory.
MANY thanks
Pedro

Noone's replied on list so far (although someone may have off list ?)
Not sure of a torrents for dummies guide but here's a brief synopsis.
Ingredients:-
A file you want to share
A tracker (either your own, someone else's or a public one - if you're
struggling you can use my tracker)
A BitTorrent client (for initial seeding best using the latest original
client)
A BitTorrent torrent creator (I just use the one built into ABC
http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net
which is my normal download client)
Some way of distributing the .torrent file (web page, email attachment
etc)
Method:-
Take the torrent creator, tell it the file you want to torrent and the
tracker you will use.
Upload the .torrent to the tracker
Open the .torrent with the original client and point it at the completed
original file when it asks where to save it
Distribute the .torrrent (web page, email attachment etc)
;)
