	Once you have all of the files you wish to put into this particular gallery's torrent, it is good etiquette to create a single compressed ~~archive~~ file storing those files. There are several compression formats available, with Zip and 7zip being among the most popular. Choose any format you like, but keep in mind that you want other users to easily extract those files once they download your torrent. Don't choose a format that is too obscure!

	From this point forward, the set of all files which you intend to put into a torrent for a particular gallery will be referred to as a "bundle of files". This is because this wiki cannot predict whether you compressed your files or not, and what kind of compression you used.		From this point forward, the set of all files which you intend to put into a torrent for a particular gallery will be referred to as a "bundle of files". This is because this wiki cannot predict whether you compressed your files or not, and what kind of compression you used.

			There are some reasons to not compress the files, and instead torrent an uncompressed folder of files:

			*If the torrent fails to download completely, with separate images you'll likely still have some complete files. With a compressed file, all you'll have is a single corrupted archive.
			*If the gallery is updated with more images, you can just re-torrent the same folder. Anyone who downloaded the old torrent won't have to re-download the existing files, only the new ones. With With a compressed file, you'll have to create a completely new archive that has to be downloaded again from scratch.
			*Similarly, if people already have some of the files (from other galleries, or downloaded by different means), they can put them in the torrent folder and instantly get partial completion (and only use the torrent to download the rest). With a compressed file, that's not possible.

			===Naming the Torrent===
			The torrent should be named as close to the name of the original gallery as possible.

	==Composing the Files==		==Composing the Files==
			===Naming the Files===
			Files should be named in a logical way, so that anyone's computer can automatically sort the files from beginning to end (for easy reading). This is most easily achieved by naming the files with numbers, like:
			*'''"001.png"'''
			*'''"034.png"'''
			Or for particularly large galleries:
			*'''"0001.png"'''
			*'''"0999.png"'''
			Alternatively, if preserving the original file names is desired, use a number prefix instead. This might look like:
			* '''"001_filename.png"'''
			Note the padding of the number with zeroes at the beginning. Some computers may organize numbered files poorly (e.g. a list that goes: 1, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4...), and so padding numbers with zeroes helps maintain proper order.

			The named order of the image files should be the same as the order of images presented in E-Hentai, unless that order is provably incorrect somehow (i.e. pages out of order). If a file is being included which is not viewable in the gallery online, name it such that it does not interfere with the order of the image files. Exceptions to this may be made for things like videos which are intended by the author to be viewed in-between images.

			===Compressing the Files===
			Once you have all of the files you wish to put into this particular gallery's torrent, it is good etiquette to create a single compressed archive file storing those files. There are several compression formats available, with Zip and 7zip being among the most popular. Choose any format you like, but keep in mind that you want other users to easily extract those files once they download your torrent. Don't choose a format that is too obscure!

			From this point forward, the set of all files which you intend to put into a torrent for a particular gallery will be referred to as a "bundle of files". This is because this wiki cannot predict whether you compressed your files or not, and what kind of compression you used.
