As previously posted in another thread:
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) 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.
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 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://tracker.hipfans.com">http://tracker.hipfans.com</a><!-- m --> 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...
