1. Send a message to any mod to obtain uploading access. Please let them know when you would like to seed so that it can be added to the schedule ahead of time.

2. Put all the files into a folder and use the proper naming scheme using this example: tori2005-08-01d1t01, tori2005-08-01d1t02...tori2005-08-01d2t01, tori2005-08-01d2t02, etc. If the files are only one audio disc long, you can omit the 'd1' and 'd2' parts.

3. Include a text file that notes all information relevant to the show. This should include the date, location, setlist, and all of the recording's source and transfer information. If encoding to FLAC, it's great if you can include the FLAC compression level used. Basically, be as specific as possible with the source info. For examples of text files, please see the Circulating Boots List.

4. If you're seeding a silver disc or something that's already on disc with a known generation/source, please include the EAC log. See our EAC guide for more info. If you're just seeding something from your own master, this step is obviously skipped.

5. Include some sort of file verification. With FLAC files, you can use the fingerprint option on FLAC Frontend. You can also use mkw's md5 verification for any kind of files. To use the md5, simply right-click on the folder with all the files and select 'Generate MD5 Signatures'. This step should be done after all the files are properly named and present in the folder.

6. Now that everything is ready to go in the folder, you must make a torrent file. To do this, download Make Torrent v2.

7. On Make Torrent, first go to 'Settings' and enter the following information:
Name: Toritraders
Announce URL: http://tracker.toritraders.com/announce.php
Website URL: http://tracker.toritraders.com
Then click on Save Now. Also, change your Startup mode from 'Simple' to 'Classic' at the top left corner of the settings page. For files like these, you need the Classic mode.

8. Go to the 'Create Torrent' page. In the middle of the page, change the Tracker to Toritraders. Now select the files to make the torrent with. You want to locate the folder you have put all the files in and select that directory (dir). You want 1 torrent from entire folder. Lastly, type a comment into the space at the bottom of the page. Usually, we just type the show's location here.

9. Click on Create .torrent now! and save the torrent file somewhere.

10. Now you can upload the show. Go to http://tracker.toritraders.com and select the Upload link at the top of the page. Select the torrent file you just created and the text file. Then cut and paste the text file into the description. Also under torrent name, type the date and location of the show as such: 2005-08-28 Rochester Hills, MI
Also select the era that the show is from and click upload.

11. You can now start seeding. You should get a message that says 'Torrent uploaded successfully'. Now just click on the torrent file like you're going to download it. BitTorrent will check the files in your folder and then it will start seeding.

12. If you have any questions or get confused, just PM any mod for help!
