Title: Torrent creator for Win7/64 bit
Post by: cyfan on May 05, 2011, 04:00:35 PM

Can anybody recommend a free program that will create a .torrent file on a 64-bit PC running Windows 7?
I was all set to torrent a recording for the first time since I bought the new PC and realized I didn't have a torrent creator on it. I think I had "Maketorrent" (or something like that) before the old machine crashed.
Looking through the various google searches I couldn't seem to find one that was Win7/64 bit compatible.

Thanks

Thanks guys.
Hell, I already had trader's little helper on the PC because I couldn't get FLAC Frontend or mkwACT to work on it.
Never realized it made torrent files though.
(Now I just hope I got all my port forwarding issues correct.)

Use uTorrent and check "Enable Upnp port mapping" under Options > Preferences > Connection and you should be all set with port forwarding.
