- Propagation. Upload torrent file to Cloud / File-Sharing Site.
- or Widespread Propagation. Torrent Upload Site. Most sites seem to need registration in form of a valid email address, and as well cookies enabled seems to be the norm. (If cookies not enabled upon registering, one seems to lose username and ones's email address cannot be used because it belongs to lost username, when cookies enabled.) In the end found it easiest to use a site which did not require registration.
- Upload. Launch Transmission GUI and Open the Torrent File, pointing the Download Directory to Directory holding File(s) for Upload. Thereupon Transmission will show all the files as being 100% complete, and start seeding for Initial Upload.
