These are Wii games and they need to be in the root folder "wbfs" of a USB HDD in order to be run on a Wii.

How are they to be seeded if the drive is hooked in to a wii? Does the homebrew have a torrent app? If so will it run the app and seed while being played?

Also you must have one hell of an internet connection to seed something that big. What are your speeds? torrents that big are usually suited for a seedbox.

It wouldn't be seeded if the drive is hooked up to the Wii. It's only seeded when I disconnect the drive from the Wii and connect it to my PC. In the meantime, the drive is connected to my PC until there are enough seeds out there. Theoretically I would only be seeding when I'm not playing the Wii, with the ease of switching the drive back and forth. However, I have a separate drive on my Wii for now with copies of only the few games I'm playing at the moment.

I'm in Japan with fiber optic connection. My upload speed with both torrents combined are about 1.5MB/s to 2MB/s. What's a seedbox?

Is that MBytes or mbits the latter is what internet speeds are measured by either way a bit slow for such a big torrent.

generally 100mb/s (bits) depending what you pay for.

Edit: this should work for the name thing though, huh?

That would be for megabytes per second.

I don't have my own server, unfortunately. So just regular seeding will have to do.

As for renaming the torrent, your screenshot only renames the actual .torrent file and not what the torrent's caption will be. Please refer to my screenshots here .
