Use the link opposite the 'Magnet' word. Then copy & paste this link address & email or send it via chat to your friend. They can copy & paste this magnet link address into their browser & the browser will send the details to their LW which will immediately open & start to downld the file. Of course you should have LW open at that time so they can access your LW shared files. Once they are connected, they & you can browse each other's files. Remember to browse someone it's best to have Chat enabled. (Image below is purely an example & some details been changed.)

I found a tool called maketorrent that is adequate for making a.torrent fie that I can post on a web page so clicking on it can download 290 files easily without problems. The tool can make a torrent for each file or for the whole lot, like I chose.

Now limewire users wanting the files, can load them into the download queue and wait for the 7GB of files I wanted to share.

The files are tablebases for computer chess, the torrent is for all end-game positions with 5 pieces on the board. I have an MD5 for 6 pieces, which is a few thousand files, but I dont have enough disk space for the 1.2 TB to create the torrent file from at present.

P2P with torrents makes sense considering the volume of files for this add-on to a chess game. It takes a powerful computer to make them, P2P makes distrinution to interested players a no-brainer.
