Hey - I'm looking for a newbie friendly set of instructions for creating torrent files so I can share some tapes I have.
Any experts or pointed advice?
Thanks!

Hey - I'm looking for a newbie friendly set of instructions for creating torrent files so I can share some tapes I have. Any experts or pointed advice? Thanks! ![]() The first thing you need to do is to transfer your tapes to the computer.� To record the waves, in windows, I'd recommend the cool edit line.� You can still find cool edit 96, which has a demo that is mostly functional.�� Once you have the wav. file, you need to track it.� I'd strongly recommend using CDWAV, as it separates the wav files at sector boundaries (a good thing.)�� Then you need to convert the newly formed wav files of each track into either SHN or FLAC.� For SHN, I'd recommend mkwACT.�� Then you need to create a txt file containing the important information of the shows.� Put as much information as you have.�� Finally, you need to make the torrent file.� I use "make torrent 2."�� Once you make the torrent, upload it to a tracker (bargainville.org, bt.etree.org, etc) and start seeding the show.� http://www.etree.org has information about making the shn files and such http://www.filesoup.com/faq/index.php� a faq about torrents http://www.sharingthegroove.org/msgboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47213 http://www.sharingthegroove.org/msgboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45776 Sharing the groove's "getting started" and "how to seed a show" posts.

someone over at SharingTheGroove made a pdf with step by step instructions called Bittorrent 4 dummies.pdf;-) It's really useful. I could upload it somewhere if needed ...
