After create a torrent file ,How to seed these files ?

use what kind of software ?

Can python handle it ? with some code

rndusr commented 5 years ago

You need a BitTorrent client: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent

These are some popular clients: https://transmissionbt.com/ https://deluge-torrent.org/ https://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/

You start the client and give it the torrent file.

The torrent file tells the client which files to download and where to find peers.

The client will then connect to peers and share the files that are specified in the .torrent file.

can I write some python code to do this seeding job ?

No.

You'd have to write your own BitTorrent client, and managing communication with trackers, DHT and peers, file system access, load balancing, etc is fairly complex and offers lots and lots of room for bugs that will only manifest after years of usage.

You need to run a BitTorrent client or your .torrent files are worthless.
