anandg Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've created a torrent, then registered with thepiratebay and uploaded the torrent.But now I only see peers and I can't seem to seed the file. I've tried downloading and opening the torrent from thepiratebay when i'm logged in, but it doesn't seem to ask me for the location of the original file. It just opens the torrent in utorrent and doesn't start seeding but only shows the peers.Can anyone tell me how I can seed a file? Otherwise nobody can download the file because I have the original file on my hard disk.I've used the uTorrent guide for creating a torrent file.I've tried the following this guide for seeding:http://www.torrentech.org/index.php?showtopic=662&pid=4225&mode=threaded&show=&st=&I've also tried this guide. But also without success:http://www.dctorrent.com/showthread.php?t=21222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Did you add without default save and point the torrent at the correct location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandg Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I chose the correct location. I think I should have put the option "start seeding" on when I created the torrent.I see the default save option. In the File menu.I have tried that option, but it doesn't start seeding and it also doesn't ask for the original file. It only shows the location where I want to download the file.Also the torrent shows a red icon. When I used file > add torrent it showed a blue icon.But I would very much like to get the torrent to seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Have you tried copying your full file into the download folder, then stopping the torrent and do a force re-check (rightclick)? This always works for me.Is the tracker url correct in your torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandg Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have copied the full file into my download folder, stopped the torrent and then force a re-check. Then it checked the file until it went to 100% which now has the status finished.How can I tell if it's seeding? The number in the column Seeds is still 0 (0). I checked the tracker url. That's correct:http://tpb.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 "Finished" isn't the same as "Seeding" or "Queued Seed"Once the re-check is done, you need to start the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandg Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ah great, I only had to start it (right-click > start). Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
