What's the best way to release new content using Shareaza?

Warning! Please read the Shareaza disclaimer regarding the use of Shareaza as a mean of distributing illegal content.

Step 1 Go to the Shareaza Library and add any files you wish to release.

Step 2 Make sure what you're about to release is not already on the network. This is step is essential to prevent multiple file variants. You can run a manual search, or simply right-click the file:

Right-click file > Search for > Similar Files

Step 3 Go to the file metadata tab in the file properties.

Right-click file > Properties > Metadata tab

Add as much information as you can about the file so that users may be informed about its contents before downloading.

Step 4 Go to My Review (the next tab) and write a short review and/or rate the file according to its quality.

Step 5 In the Sharing tab, select Release from the 'Upload Queue Selection Tags'.

Step 6 Go to your Upload Settings and add a new upload queue.

Tools > Shareaza Settings... > Uploads

Give it a name like Release and check Marked Files as an 'Entry Criteria' then select Release from the drop down menu. Try to dedicate a large amount of bandwidth to this queue as well. (See Figure.)

How do I release a file on all (or a particular) network?

You need to be connected to the network to be able to destribute through it. Can't Connect?

General Tips

Send a magnet link to your friends and people who might be interested in your release. You can also try websites like:
- Freebase
- Peerweb
Try to stay connected to as many networks for as long as you can to ensure that the file gets fully distributed.
When you're not using the net, remember to move the slider in the bandwidth monitor to MAX to help speed up uploads.
