You can find
maketorrent here.
I've not used bit tornado and I only briefly used BitComet cause it didn't seem to report stats, which isn't really problem now since DaT no longer tracks them. As Kirarin said, some trackers have banned BitComet since it doesn't alway play nice.
I found the following instructions on BitComets website:
Quote:
1. The easiest way is to drag&drop the file or directory to BitComet window, or you can go to File >> Create a Torrent... (Ctrl+M), or Hit 'Maker' in the toolbar. All these bring up the make torrent GUI.
2. Fill in the fields.
* If you do not use drag&drop, the source file entry is empty and need to be filled: In the General tab, choose Single file or Directory (Multi-Files). Click Browse to point to the file or directory.
* Put in the announce URL in Tracker Server box. It usually can be found on the upload page of a tracker.
* (Optional)In the next box, the piece size can be chosen. It it recommended to leave it on auto.
* (Optional)Check Generate .torrent File and find where it will be saved. (same directory by default)
* (Optional)In the optional Comments tab, type in information if you like.
3. Hit O.K.
4. Start the seeding task.

The Announce URL for DaT's tracker is

If you have a router you may need to configure
port forwarding before anyone will be able to download from you.
