2How to create torrent?

2.1 
To create a torrent, open the uTorrent client and select the "Create new torrent ..." option in the "File" menu. Or select the wand button on the toolbar. Or we type on the keyboard a combination of hot keys: Ctrl + N
Redaction v.1: zxc from 2021-02-13 22:37
2.2 
The torrent creation dialog will appear. If there should be only one file in the distribution, press the SELECT FILE button and specify the path to it in the window that appears (select the file itself and click Open).
If there should be several files in the distribution, press the button SELECT FOLDER (all files should be in one folder, and there should not be anything superfluous in this folder).
It is highly recommended to check if there are any hidden or system files in the shared folder, for example, desktop.ini, Thumbs.db and the like. Such files can be changed by the operating system without your knowledge, and then the torrent will have to be recreated, otherwise it will simply not be possible to remain a full seed on the distribution.
To see hidden or system files, it may be necessary in Windows Explorer (aka My Computer) to select Tools > Folder options ... > View > Show hidden files and folders, and disable the Hide protected system files checkbox there.
After making sure that all the necessary files are in the distributed folder, we can return to uTorrent and click the Select folder button: Note: in new versions of the client (2.0 and higher) it is recommended to check the Save file order checkbox, as shown in the screenshot above.

Torrent settings:

Exclude - used when creating a multi-file torrent to exclude unnecessary files / folders. To do this, enter the name of the excluded file / folder in the field and, if there are several of them, enter it, separating the names with a vertical line |

Trackers - leave blank or you can add a record of our tracker:

http://bt-st.org/ann.php?uk=PASSKEY
http://seatracker.ru/bt/announce.php?uk=PASSKEY
You can find PASSKEY value in your profile. Trackers are automatically registered in the torrent file after you have uploaded it to the site and downloaded it again to your client.

Part size - in most cases nothing needs to be changed here, uTorrent automatically determines the optimal part (block) size based on the volume of the entire torrent. But if we want to reduce the size of the torrent file (the tracker has restrictions on its size), you can specify the maximum allowable size of 15mb.

Private torrent - this parameter prohibits downloading via DHT check if you set a download limit by reputation.

Web seed - leave blank.

Start seeding - check. When you set it, the torrent will automatically start immediately after the completion of the torrent creation, and if you specified the tracker correctly, the torrent will turn green. However, in order to take statistics into account, it must first be registered on the tracker. Now we press the button "Create and save in ..."

Redaction v.1: zxc from 2021-02-13 22:30
3.4 
After you have created and saved your release, you need to download your torrent file and start it. The torrent client will prompt you to overwrite the tracker list—be sure to agree. After that, you will appear in the list of seeders for your upload. Otherwise, you will get the error Seeder not seen: Never.

-Important: You can skip the previous step of downloading your torrent and overwriting the trackers if, when creating the torrent file in the client, you correctly specified our tracker and checked the box Start seeding. The tracker list should look like this (be sure to leave an empty line between trackers if there are several):

Actual trackers:
