To set the "upload_file" field to the actual content of the file "
filename.torrent", I believe you are supposed to use CURLFORM_FILECONTENT
instead of CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, replace the above line with:
curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "upload_file",
CURLFORM_FILECONTENT, filename, CURLFORM_END);

Now I'm not sure how your server-side upload script works, and if the above
mentioned does not work, you should try the following:
curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "upload_file", CURLFORM_FILE,
filename, CURLFORM_END);

Also, in this case since you are using curl_easy_perform() which doesn't
return until it's done, you may use CURLFORM_PTRNAME instead. On large
buffers this would avoid having multiple copies in memory, thus
theoretically speed up your application (however, in practice you are
probably restricted by network speed anyway).

curl_easy_setopt(mCURL, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, post);
