I have turbo torrent which is not all that familiar, but I guess the other programs like azureus work the same way: put the folder you want to share to the folder where all your finished downloads go to. Then open your torrent client, click on create new torrent (make torrent etc.) select the folder and copy paste the correct url. Now you have a torrent file that you can use on dime. Go to their website and click upload torrent. Select the .torrent file you just made, select info file and all other input you want to add. Should be working then. You won't seed until you've download your own torrent, so download it first. If you run into more problems, post it here. good luck

Here is a topic tutorial/guide for seeding shows that sjmike made for seeding at MetFuk...

http://www.metallifukinca.com/showthread.php?t=760

You should be able to follow that and replace the MetFuk info with the Dime info.

You can seed 1 single file or you could 120 files that are within 1 folder. :P
