| Step | Action | Tool(s) | Why it makes sense | |------|--------|---------|-------------------| | | Create a clean source archive (e.g., .zip / .tar.gz ) of the material you own or that is in the public domain. | Any archiving tool (7‑Zip, tar). | Guarantees a single, verifiable file to seed. | | 2️⃣ | Upload to Keep2Share for instant HTTP access. | Keep2Share web UI or API. | Provides a fallback for users who can’t run a torrent client. | | 3️⃣ | Generate a torrent file that includes the Keep2Share direct link as a web seed (BEP‑19). | mktorrent (CLI) or a GUI client. | Peers can fetch missing pieces from Keep2Share if the swarm is thin. | | 4️⃣ | Publish the magnet on Hightide (invite‑only) and optionally on any public tracker you control. | Hightide UI / tracker admin panel. | Gives you the high‑speed P2P boost from trusted users. | | 5️⃣ | Index the magnet on Scat (if you have an API key) so that the broader community can discover it. | Scat “Add Torrent” endpoint. | Centralizes discovery; people can see seed count before downloading. | | 6️⃣ | Share the Scat link (or a short URL) on your website, forum, or newsletter. | URL shortener (optional). | One simple link for everyone—torrent for power users, HTTP for casual users. | | 7️⃣ | Monitor upload ratios, seed health, and bandwidth usage via Hightide stats & Keep2Share analytics. | Dashboard tools. | Ensures the file stays available and you stay within any bandwidth caps. | Hightide Scat Keep2share
