  1.  Im wondering is this allowed to be talked about here? Well I want to know if torrents are allowed to be distributed or uploaded here in general because I was going to give everyone my whole skulltag collection in torrent file but but I don't want to make a pointless thread that nobody will care about so where should I distribute the torrent zandronum forums won't care way to much or not enough activity zdoom forums might just be my best option but I don't think no one will care there either the skulltag forums don't exist anymore so where should I post it? Btw I tried torrent websites and they didn't work out way too well for me.

      Any client can download a torrent, all you need to provide is a magnet link, but you'll have to seed it constantly (or have other people to seed it, which I don't foresee happening for long). Do you understand how that works? I can help you if need be.

      No wonder I couldn't download any torrents because most of the time I got my friends to download Torrent file for me because I have zero knowledge on torrent software I just made it and so on I can pm you the skulltag collection torrent if you want to see if it works because if it doesn't idk what to do.

      Sure, I'll have a look at it for you next time I'm on my PC.

       

      Basically, torrenting is a P2P (peer to peer/from one person to another) file-sharing method that requires seeds (should be marked with an "S" in your client and on torrent sites, or it could just say "seeds") to download pieces of the files from. Leeches (L) download the files from the available seeders. The more seeders uploading the files back, the more leeches they can provide to. 

       

      In other words, the files require that they be kept in circulation, otherwise the torrent is dead. It is considered polite to seed at at least a 1:1, or preferably 2:1 ratio. In other words, if I download a 50mb file, I should seed at least 50-100mb. Most people will simply stop the torrent when they are done downloading, which is inconsiderate to everyone else and causes a lot of torrents to cease to exist.

       

      If you are sharing a torrent, you will need to keep your client open and constantly seeding, otherwise the torrent will die and nobody will be able to download anything. Unless of course other people are seeding for you, which is unlikely since you'll be sharing it with a smaller group than what is required to keep it alive.
