New to bit torrent. I'm still a little confused about how to find files and how people find mine. I already know that a Tracker is what tells a client what other clients have the file, but I don't understand how my files get on the trackers?

For example, if I go to piratebay(which is a tracker AND torrent search engine right?) and download a torrent thru Shareaza, after its complete and I start to seed, what tracker do people find that file through and how can I put it on different trackers? Is the only tracker a file can be found on the same one it came from(ie.Piratebay)?

When this board talks about torrent requests what are they? Are they just asking for the .torrent file essentialy bypassing a tracker? Is that a way to find things that dont come up on trackers/search engines?
