Researchers Counter Massive Onslaught of Fake Torrents

One third of all torrents uploaded to The Pirate Bay point to malware or scams, researchers report. While Pirate Bay moderators are usually quick to remove suspect torrents they can’t prevent millions of people from downloading these fake files. To counter this threat the researchers have published TorrentGuard, a tool that allows users to identify fake torrents. The Pirate Bay and several large public trackers are eager to collaborate with the researchers to optimize and implement the new technology.

1.Create the torrent


*Note: Before creating the torrent it is recommendable that you write-protect the file or folder you wish to share with others. To do so, right click on the file or folder -> click on "Properties" -> check the box "Read only" -> click on "Apply".

Open Vuze.

Click on "File" and then click on "New torrent" (alternatively, press CTRL + N as a shortcut) (see screenshot 1 below)



The "Make a torrent" wizard will then be prompted. The first window is "Tracker/Mode" (See screenshot 2 below)

The option "Use an external tracker" (See 1 in screenshot 2 below) is checked by default; leave it as it is and copy/paste the following tracker in "Announce URL" --->>

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

Depending on whether you are sharing a single file or a folder, select either "Single file" or "Directory". I have selected the latter in my example.

Finally click on "Next".



We now advance to the "Directory" window (See screenshot 3 below)

Browse to your directory (or file if that's your case) and select it. Alternatively, you can drag'n'drop the file or directory onto the Wizard. When done click on "Next".



We now progress to the "Torrent File" window (See screenshot 4 below)

Check the option "Open the torrent for seeding when done" (see 2 in screenshot 4 below).

Do not tick the "Private torrent" box; it would disable DHT and Peer Exchange.

The option "Allow decentralized tracking when tracker is unavailable" should be checked by default --make sure this box is ticked so that DHT is enabled.



Finally, click on "Finish".

We are now in the "Creating torrent file" window (see screenshot 5 below).

You can see how Vuze is gradually hashing the torrent as showed in 3 from screenshot 5 below (the sequence is "hashing files", "saving file", and "file saved").



Finally, click on "Close". Your torrent is added to the queue in Azureus/Vuze and you are seeding it from now on.

2. Superseeding.

The next step is optional, Super-seeding (aka Initial Seeding).
Use this function only when you are the sole seeder, to release a torrent but never to seed files which have several seeders. I recommend the use of Super Seeding for rather medium to big files. Find more info on Super-seeding here.

If you want to enable Super-seeding in Azureus/Vuze, go to "Options" -> "Queue" -> and check the box "User Super Seeding" (see 4 in screenshot 6 below).



Congratulations Your Finished!

Now your ready to Upload @ Kickass

Create a folder on your Desktop with a title such as "Uploading set".



*Note: Before creating a torrent it is recommended that you write-protect the file or folder you wish to share to protect from accidental deletion or editing. To do so, right click on the file or folder -> click on "Properties" -> check the box "Read only" -> click on "Apply".



Open Utorrent.

Click on "File" and then click on "Create new torrent" (alternatively, press CTRL + N as a shortcut).

The "Create new torrent" window will be prompted.



Depending on whether you are sharing a single file or a folder, select either "file" or "directory". I have selected the latter in my example (see 1 in screenshot below).  



In "trackers" (see 2 in screenshot below), copy/paste the following tracker:



http://tracker.publicbt.com/announce
/>


At the bottom, within "Other", "Start seeding" is enabled by default (that's fine, leave it as it is).

Do Not tick the "Private torrent" box; it would disable DHT and Peer Exchange.

Proceed to click on "Create and save as..." (see 3 in screenshot below).

You can see how the torrent is gradually being created in the progress bar; then, you are asked where to save the .torrent, so browse to your "Uploading Set" folder and press "Save" when done (see 4 in screenshot below).

Within Utorrent GUI, right click on the torrent in question, then click on "Start seeding".



If you want to enable the option "Initial seeding", double click on the torrent and tick the suitable box within "Other settings". Use this option only when you are the sole seeder, to release a torrent but never to seed files which have several seeders. I recommend Initial Seeding for rather medium to big files.
