scrapcool Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi,I am behind a NAT so cannot run my own tracker but have to send a file about 800MB to a friend or two. Can I use a public tracker like tracker.prq.to and just send over the torrent to my friend and later stop my seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yeah, I do believe you can, but you can always just use the internal tracker in µTorrent (enable bt.enable_tracker)Then in the tracker field, put http://YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT/announce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game90 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 er, he's behind NAT so its useless to use internal tracker? unless he forwards the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapcool Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 yeah, but as I said, I am behind a NAT and do not have a public IP to use. My ISP has almost all ports blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Oh, I had thought you at least forwarded your port to µTorrent correctly, just that the rest of the ports weren't open for use as a tracker. In that case, yeah, you can try your luck at TPB's tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castle Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 If your friends know what they're doing get one of them to be the tracker. Just enter their IP and port when creating the torrent and send them the torrent file. The tracker does not also need to be a seed, so I'd try that.

silverfire Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 They also need to enable the embedded tracker. It "ships" with the default setting of having it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkbobo Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 They also have to not be behind a router; or have their ports forwarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranmullen Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 You could try compressing the file as you can and split into chunks and upload via instant messenger or upload to some free file hosting sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 It would be a lot quicker to burn a couple of CD's and mail them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoxan Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 my friend just transferred an 800mb documentary to me through aim. good method. 50kb/s. just use aim.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Um. AIM has NO form of data integrity verification, and I've had some bad experiences with transferring through AIM due to corrupt data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z9999 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 You can also split the file into smaller pieces (.rar or .zip) that can be emailed and email them. I do that when I want to send my friends or family a large number of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerwin Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think that ISPs blocking ports should be addressed with the internet neutrality thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
