Hey Guys,
I just want to give back by posting a show up on the Hip Tracker. I've allready converted the flacs into individual torrent files. Now what should I do?
PS - I did a search for torrent help, but I couldn't find anything.

From Chris:
Here's a simple how-to that I wrote for creating .torrents and seeding:
1. In the folder that your Bit Torrent client downloads new BT’s into, create a new directory into which all of the compressed (FLAC or SHN) or DVD files will be processed. Name it “YYYY-MM-DD – City Name, Province/
State (substitute the details pertinent to the show your will be seeding)”
2. Create a text file that contains the details of the source/venue/
equipment used/person who taped show, and a complete setlist. Name
this file “YYYY-MM-DD – City Name, Province/State (substitute the details
pertinent to the show your will be seeding)” and save it into the directory
created in step #1.
3. Start your compression program (FLACer, xACT, FLAC Frontend, etc)
and select the audio tracks (WAV or AIFF) that you want to compress. Or start your DVD ripper software, and select the DVD you want to rip.
4. Choose the folder you created in step #1 as the output destination, and compress your audio.
5. Start your Bit Torrent creating software.
6. Choose “Create a Torrent” or similar.
7. Select the directory you created in step one as the folder/files you
want to torrent.
8. The tracker/announce URL is “http://tracker.hipfans.com/announce.php”
9. Save the torrent with a file name that is identical to the folder name
you created in step #1.
10. Log on to http://tracker.hipfans.com and select “Upload Torrent”
from the menu.
11. Choose the torrent file and the text file you just completed and enter
a basic description.
12. Select a .torrent type and click the “Upload .torrent” button.
13. Finally, in order to seed your show, start up your Bit Torrent client
application and open the .torrent file that you just created/uploaded to
the tracker. It should take care of itself from there...
