Yup, it does sound simple.  Unfortunately, those instructions are for 
Windows:

"Item 3: Make the .torrent files

Download and install CompleteDir from the download page. It will 
install under Start > All Programs > CompleteDir."

CompleteDir is a Windows program.

BTW, that same site has links for a Windows BT client and a slightly 
out-date OS X client.  On the linux side, you can use 'apt-get install 
bittorrent' on Debian boxes.  Not so sure how on Red Hat or other 
RPM-based distros.
