I recently experimented with creating a torrent file to distribute a video I made. This tutorial on How to create a torrent was extremely useful and helped demystify this great peer-to-peer technology.

Torrents are distribution methods that must be better than anything else we’ve ever created: a free way to share virtually anything that can be put into digital form.
I like to know that my JavaScript debugging video now is easily searchable and obtainable by anyone in the world with an Internet connection. Torrents are here to stay and definitely have their place in media distribution. Sooner or later you’ll have to learn how to create a torrent–bookmark the article above.
