)I have no idea how to do this, and i think others may enjoy reading how to do it also.
Say that i have a file i want to share with the world on the torrent system how do I do it?
How do I get this file that I want to share , share it with the world while being anonymous?
Torrent files are everywhere, what are the basics? Say I have a file i want to share, i also have a server i can put it on to start the seeding from, how does it go from there?
thanks!

Ok, since you've go uTorrent (from the other thread) here's how you create a torrent.
File -> Create New Torrent -> Enter information and add file -> Select where to save the .torrent onto your hard drive.
Go to your tracker of choice and upload the .torrent. You're done.
On topic: A combination of both. I seed a little when I can. Don't like to be a bandwidth hog since I have to share my tubes with brother and father.
Edit: Didn't read all the way through. Ok, so in a normal distribution method over the internet you have a server that hosts the file and the client that downloads the file. The problem with this is too many people accessing the server thereby rendering service inoperable.
In a torrent you have a tracker and peers. The tracker keeps track of who is downloading what torrent. Peers either have part or most of the target file. The way a torrent works is that instead of peers connecting to a server, they connect to each other and download pieces of the file. The whole file is not downloaded from one source. This eliminates the possibility of not being able to download a target file at all.
Also, the tracker hosts the .torrent and keeps track of who is downloading/seeding.

well i do a little bit of both but i do more seeding then leaching i don't download that much but when i do i all ways make sure to seed at least a day or 2 just to keep my ratio up.If you search on the sites you download from most of them will have a Tut on there.For instants if you use Demonoid you can find a tut in there FAQ in how to create a torrent.
Intelligence merely allows you to be more elaborately and ornately disastrously wrong.
a little of both.
I download all sorts of stuff and what i do is just turn on my torrent app when i leave home or at night, when i'm about to fall asleep to one of my movies on my pc and let it download. I don't set any upload limit and just let it dl/ul. Then when it's finished it depends what i'm gonna do, if by the time i have the complete file, i allready have an ul ratio of >1.5 or i have a few more torrents waiting, then i might delete the torrent. Else i'll just leave it there, sometimes for several weeks, untill i have to make a bit of room in my torrent app.
I used to be a leecher, but since i have a dl limit of 120gb instead of 12, i actually enjoy the feeling of helping others out with their torrent.

Thanks for all the answers, I am thinking I am going to setup a 50 GB FTP server if i can figure it out, would you recommend true encrypting a server? Or can someone plz answer my question in the linux forum about why I have a 160 GB drive that i only formatted partition for 100GB which windows XP Pro and Ubuntu are sharing? I would like to format or partition the other 60 gigs that i havent done anything with yet,, am I going to have to reformat and re format everything again?
