+# How to seed bitcoin-dataset on desktop
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Linux, macOS or Windows desktop (with at least 500GB of available SSD storage and unlimited bandwidth)
+- Transmission app
+
+## Guide
+
+### Step 1: configure port forwarding
+
+> Heads-up: following step forwards inbound TCP requests on port `51413` to desktop (bypassing NAT firewall).
+
+Go to router port forwarding configuration page and forward inbound TCP port `51413` to IP address of desktop and port `51413` (see example below).
+
+![Port forwarding](./port-forwarding.png)
+
+### Step 2: install [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com/)
+
+Go to https://transmissionbt.com/download/, download and install latest release of Transmission.
+
+### Step 3: configure Transmission
+
+> Heads-up: following configuration is tailored to bitcoin-dataset and may not be suited to other use cases.
+
+#### Bandwidth (optional)
+
+> Heads-up: allocating unlimited bandwidth is preferred.
+
+On “Bandwidth” tab, limit bandwidth using “Global bandwidth limits”.

+
+#### Peers
+
+On “Peers” tab, disable “User peer exchange (PEX) for public torrents” and “Use distributed hash table (DHT) for public torrents” and enable “Prefer encrypted peers” and “Ignore unencrypted peers”.
+

+
+#### Network
+
+On “Network” tab, disable “Enable Micro Transport Protocol (μTP)” and set “Peer listening port” to “51413”.
+
+If [port forwarding](#step-1-configure-port-forwarding) is properly configured, green dot is displayed alongside “Port is open”.
+

+
+### Step 4: download (and optionally verify) bitcoin-dataset [torrent](../bitcoin-dataset.torrent) ([PGP signature](../bitcoin-dataset.torrent.asc), [PGP public key](https://sunknudsen.com/sunknudsen.asc))
+
+### Step 5: download bitcoin-dataset
+
+Double-click `bitcoin-dataset.torrent`, select “Download to” path and click “Add”.
+
+### Step 6: seed bitcoin-dataset
+
+👍
