Basically, it is a video I made for olsen-twins.org for being so nice with hosting all the Full House videos. It will be up on their website on Tuesday morning at the earliest, but I am attempting to share it through BitTorrent first.

Wow, the Torrent is actually a pretty good success. I just had my first download finished, and sven more people are connected. I made a new easy to use BitTorrent guide which you can find on the olsen-twins.org website.

Yay! Seven completed downloads and 6 more downloading. And it's a pretty large file. Looks like BitTorrent can be a success.

What other files are able to be downloaded with this program?

It all depends on what a person wants to put up for download. If anyone wants to share a file, they can create the torrent file and then put it up for download.
I might be sharing some more stuff in the future, and I think BitTorrent will be especially great for smaller files, like ones that are 15MB. The tranferring would go very quick.

How do you put files up for download?

There are a few steps required:
1) You have to use a program to create the torrent. BitTornado doesn't have a function to do that. I myself use a different BitTorrent client (there are a lot of different ones you can use) called Azureus. I didn't recommend Azureus because it's not really user friendly, but it is loaded with options. One of the options is to create a torrent file. You just find a file or directory you want to share, click on it, and Azureus will scan it and make a torrent file.
2) When creating a torrent, you have to choose a tracker. How do the BitTorrent programs find people to download from? Well, a tracker is checked. Every few minutes or so, BitTornado checks the tracker. The tracker has the IP addresses of everyone downloading. That's how peers are found. My tracker is here:

3) You got BitTorrent to work, so seems like you have a good grasp of it already. But when you're the one who is going to start the sharing process, when you start, everyone will rely on your bandwidth initially. So be sure you have a decent upload speed, or that you are going to make a commitment and keep the torrent up long enough so that people can download.
Hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
