To create a torrent file is much like creating a zip file. Essentially they are the same thing except a torrent is made for exceptionally quick file transfer rates. In order to make a torrent to share with Utorrent, all you have to do is click the "create torrent" icon within Utorrent and start sharing. It will ask you to input the file name as upload or save the file you are wanting to share to be created as a torrent. You can also add comments about the torrent and other relevant information
Some people do not like to share their torrents publicly and only like to share with a select group of users. Utorrent allows you to share your files privately. You can also group your files into a select folder that can only be accessed by certain users. Tracking is also available with Utorrent to determine if your files have been downloaded, how many times and from where. If you are not using a torrent and wish to minimize upload speeds and download speeds for that matter to open up bandwidth, always make sure you remove files from your download folder so that they aren't always being uploaded or remember to throttle back the upload speed to prevent excessive bandwidth consumption.

Burning CD's and DVD's
After you have downloaded your select media from Utorrent, there are ways to get this media to disc. However old and obsolete cd players are becoming, there is still a benefit to adding files to this media for playback later. If you are downloading a DVD, what you will need is a program called convertxtodvd. This will help you convert the dvd torrent file for use to burn on an actual dvd disc. You will not be able to watch a movie from a dvd player without first converting it. You may be able to watch it from a computer without converting it, but not a standard dvd player unfortunately. Once you convert the file with this program you can then watch it via a dvd player.
A more convenient method to storing and utilizing audio these days is with a Bluetooth device or a usb stick. Many tv's and entertainment systems allow for this type of media these days. It is much easier and cheaper to simply add your media to a usb stick than burn a CD and waste it later on. You can keep all of your files on a mass storage drive via either your phone, or laptop itself and run the movies directly to a tv via a hdmi cable or you can play your music from your phone into your cd player via Bluetooth or an auxiliary port. This is the more common method playback these days.

Download Privacy
Download and surfing privacy is a growing concern on the internet. With all the new regulations coming out, people are more and more interested in protecting their identities online as they feel that much of what the government is doing is an invasion of privacy and intrusive. Users can protect themselves in a number of ways online using Utorrent and other torrent downloading applications. In both Utorrent and other torrent software, there is a setting where you can enable the use of proxy surfing. What you can do is change your connection settings in your torrent application to the proxy of your choice, or simply set up a proxy on your computer. There are many ways of doing this. The first way I recommend is as follows.
Do a google search for free proxy list. Search either https or socks proxies. There are many lists out there. Tonnes actually. There are no shortages for proxies. Once you get a list of proxies, open up Utorrent and click on preferences. Once in preferences, go to connections. Once in connections go to proxy server type. Select your proxy type and enter the port and proxy address. Make sure that the proxy you are setting up has high anonymity for maximum security. Once you have done this, click ok and apply and you will be downloading anonymously. Regardless what any organization does, by doing this, you are protected online to do as you please.
Another way of protecting yourself is by getting a proxy switcher. There are many free online that you can download that allow you to load up a proxy with a simple click of a button. No need to manually enter proxies, you simply switch to a proxy when you feel you need additional privacy online. This will alter your Utorrent privacy as well as all other browsing. You can also edit proxy settings in your browser or lan settings which will secure you for browsing or doing anything at all online.
Torrent Searches
Utorrent has the ability to search for torrents via the program itself. How this works is that it connects to the server and searches the internet for torrents. Utorrent has a large database of torrents to search from, however, there are also other resources out there that people can go to , to find additional downloads.
Under scrutiny as of late, many torrent sites are facing heat due to new internet restrictions. User that were once able to download torrents successfully , may find in the future this is not the case. Websites such as isohunt.com and piratebay.org are websites that host millions of torrents for users to download at the click of a button. You can use utorrent to download torrents from a host of these types of sites. Any torrent that you download can be utilized here, but it is up to the user to make sure that the files being downloaded are copyright safe and free from malicious harm and damages. Utorrent is a tool, like a knife. It can be used to perform functions , both good and bad, right and wrong. The software in and of itself is only a tool and neutral, but how it is used can cause controversy as can be seen in today's volatile internet regulatory community. SOPA has been very instrumental in shutting down and taking control over what users can and cannot download. If you are unsure about how to use utorrent safely, it is best to browse and research copyright laws and the Stop Online Piracy Act for more information as it very well could affect you sometime in the near future.
Download Speed
There are some things a user should know when it comes to using Utorrent effectively. Many people overlook certain aspects of Utorrent. One thing to keep in mind when using this program is to check your download speeds and enable the amount of downloads and uploads that you can do at one time. Some people get the program on their computer and feel that it does not work quite the way that they want it to. This is due to the fact that the settings in the program come set standard. Many users like to download large volumes of files and sometimes find that the program does not download what they want in the time frame they want. This is due to the download restriction on the settings.
If you are downloading 20 files, the initial settings limit the number of downloads so that only a few many download at once. This may be annoying to some users, so what is recommended is that a person change these settings to open the bandwidth to allow massive downloads to occur simultaneously. This can slow down your connection and this is why it is set standard to only download a few torrents at once. If you have a fast internet connection, it should not matter how many torrents you download at once and your internet browsing speed will not be affected. The optimal and minimum internet connection is 100 mbps for this to occur smoothly. Try this out and see how it works for you. Also check your oploads as well. Some people find that they lose or gain internet connectivity because too many users are uploading files at once. Check these settings to ensure speedy download of torrents.
