Griogair Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have made a few torrents before, back when a certain farm of audio was around, but at the time i was using azureus...boooo, i know!but now i have come to make a torrent of content i have, and have tried to download it from the desktop pc that shares the same router as the laptop im seeding from.I cant get it to download though.the content is copyright, and i bought it.for the sake of legality i would suggest that anyone willing to read this and help me either: deletes the file, or doesnt let it download very far (orrr just not tell)anyway, for the sake of asking for help, here is the torrent i created:http://www.mininova.org/tor/639154also, strangely, i cant get piratebay or mininova to find it when i type the search vipzone!?any help/advice, greatly appreciated!and hi, im new!

DreadWingKnight Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 The index/trackers being unable to search is a problem on their end.Seeds of initial content almost NEED to be reachable.http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griogair Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 would the reason that it wont download onto the desktop machine be because the router is using the same conection?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Many routers don't play nice with loopback connections like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griogair Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 grrrrr!on the plus side, it does seem to be working, as someone is downloading.but still cant understand why piratebay and mininova cant find my torrent?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 TPB and mininova might filter torrents which don't have any (connectible) peers/seeds (or maybe they check availability or a combination of everything) out of their results...Routers usually don't loopback. afaik router loopback isn't typical TCP/IP behavior and only a few companies add it to some of their routers.I think they are working on recognizing local peers for µtorrent 1.7 though so it might work in the future.
