Click on File > new Torrent

This will bring the torrent creation video, where you need to add the file or directory which you wish to share with the world. Simply, browse the file and directory and add the following trackers URL in the trackers list:

udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80

udp://tracker.ccc.de:80

udp://tracker.istole.it:80

In most of these public torrent directories, you need to create an account before you upload a Torrent file. Here is an example of a Torrent file I uploaded on Piratebay.

My recommendation would be, always add a description of torrent file you are uploading and select the proper category, this will ensure more visibility. Also, you can upload your torrent file to multiple torrent directory, which will maximize the reach. Here are list of many public torrent websites to upload your torrent file:

Also, keep seeding your file until many others start seeding, else files with less seed does not attract torrent downloaders.
