# 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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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
