Has anyone used Torrents to submit out PDF's and Videos?

An old tactic that goes back many years, over a decade...

Not just for finding a way to get illegal copies of stuff (not recommended), however, though I have used it in the past to send my stuff out (that i want sent out that is) technology and catalog of sites to use grows faster than I can catch up.

Who do you use to send out free PDF's, free videos, etc and how do you go about doing it?

zip up a file with a HTML file in there, either a straight file they can view on their PC, or a short cut to file in question you want to deliver traffic to.

And has your approach helped give you more traffic, or more ppl who are wanting to harvest your stuff without your permission on these sites?

I know that most are looking for freebies when searching these sites, etc, most are probably kids under 18yrs any way (out of the legal scopes of the industry I'm in); though have you noticed any good turns, or bad for that matter?

And what tactics have you used? mistitled the submission on purpose to get more views, ie, naming it something that resembles a porn flick or something? Popular movie? popular video game?

Cheers
