jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I bet it's also covered at THAT SITE's FAQ... <grumble grumble>
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 OH that wasn't at you.. I was just watching some guy beat Legend of Zelda 2nd Quest in under an hour.
millieme5 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 ok looked at FAQS and cant find my answer thereall i want to do is take a torrent ive got say:- rihanna album and seed it as ive posted it on the torrentbox website. but when i open it in utorrent it says dwnloading nothing happens and the band is red i want to seed it not upload it ?,can you help me?
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 You need to go through the procedure linked above. After you create a torrent, for uT to show it as seeding, you have to RE-POINT the download to the directory you have it saved in. If the torrent job is already loaded, STOP it, right click, advanced, change download location and be sure to CLICK on the folder / file you are trying to share. Are there other questions?
millieme5 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 the set download location option is grey i cant use iti want to get a torrent from a file on my pc to utorrent and start seeding it
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 yes. you need to STOP the torrent job before the menu option will become selectable.
millieme5 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 i relly dont understand i have made the file into a .torrent file on my desktop now want to tranfer it to utorrent to seed it for torrentbox.comthe file isnt anywhere in utorrent at the mosorry if i seem really thickdo u mean stop all jobs?
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 It sounds like you should check out the BitTorrent Primer (link #2 on Guides). You cannot seed something you do not have. Therefore if you made the torrent then you tell uT where the file is stored. If on the other hand you did not make the torrent, you just tell uT where to download it to and it starts the process.
millieme5 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 so weh someone wants it utorrent will just get the file from my oc and start uploading it for them? as long as utorrent active?
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 As long as your torrent is active in the uT GUI yep that's how it works. If it's inactive or stopped peers can't get it and you're not sharing. Pretty neat huh?
millieme5 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 cool im so sorry to have nagged you im just so pleased with me little self ive manged to self teach myself dwnlading adn ripping etc etc just neede a little help really appreciat it thanks
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 It's good to learn. There are too many people who choose to be ignorant. :/ Other questions?
