Android Tutorial Using torrents to distribute your free apps

I think this might be a good way to get that .apk out there.

Firstly you need to create a torrent. You can use uTorrent to do this.
www.uTorrent.com

Goto File > Create New Torrent

Click on Add File and choose your .apk then in the 'Trackers' box paste these

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce

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

http://tracker.istole.it/announce

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

udp://10.rarbg.com/announce

http://tracker.torrent.to:2710/announce

udp://tracker.1337x.org:80/announce

http://pow7.com/announce

I believe there must be a blank line between each one (IIRC)

Check 'Start Seeding' as well, can't hurt to seed from your own PC for a while.

Then click on Create and save as .... and save it somewhere you can find it. It will be the nameofyour.apk.torrent

It will immediately start seeding and gradually people (or machines) will start to download it from your machine.

Now go to a popular torrent site such as KAT.ph

Register on the site.

A tip here is that if you have a Google email account you can give them an email address like:

[email protected]

Anyone that replies to that email address will get to you but you now know where they got your email address from and / or can send such emails directly to the bin.

I think KAT should be ok though.

Write out a good description of your app in Notepad or something before you upload your torrent to KAT. Note KAT uploads the whole file so your PC doesn't have to be online to spread your .apk throughout the entire known universe :)

See if you can find mine (I've only just done it though) on kat.ph
