Problems creating a Torrent - uploading torrent file

[CTDavies]

Good morning all,
newby Chris here trying to create a torrent. That faulty Lionel Hampton upload was mine and I think if I upload it again I will be making the same mistake.
The raw file (including the st5 file - see later) is in a directory "Traders Den" on my desktop, in a second folder "raw files"
I have created the torrent file this way:
qBittorrent:
tools > torrent creator > select folder and selected the raw file
- private torrent disabled
- start seeding immediately enabled
- ignore share ratio disabled
- optimize alignment enabled
- aligned tp iece boundary disabled
- tracker URL is the correct one
> create torrent
the torrent is immediately on qBittorrent as upload, size 1,10GiB, Progress 100%, status seeding
This file is saved on Desktop in "Traders Den" > "Torrent Creation"
When trying to upload the file here on TTD at the very bottom of the page I click Manage Attachments > Upload Torrent and point to the file in "Torrent Creation" but here I can see that the file is only 25KB large!
On my first torrent last week I didn't take any notice of this and in the end only uploaded the st5 file which is in the original folder.
I'm afraid of repeating the same mistake. Am I doing something wrong here?

The torrent file you create will always be around that size. The last one I uploaded, for example, is 13.5 KB.
