Issues with creating torrents

[Jesse]

I don't know if I did it wrong a few times in a row, but I couldn't get it to work properly.

Might want to investigate this further.

I just created one without any issues..

[Jesse]

Hm. Perhaps I did something wrong then. I was doing it for oink, and couldn't get it to work correctly.

Nm then.

maybe some1 can explain how its done then b4 the rest of us get our accounts blocked by other sites

i just tried again and got same result. heres whats happening, plz if some1 can help or give me advive here..

1, i select creat torrent,

2, in popup i add file from hd in select source box,

3, in tracker, i add tracker addy,

4, i click Create and start sharing,

now the progress bar finishes but the popup box just hangs here. in the bottom right hand corner i still see the Cancel option, but am expecting this to change to Finish or something. this is as far as i get, i cannot do anything else except press Cancel option.

the torrent dosent open into client either at any stage.

The "create + start sharing" seems to do the same as "create + save as"

[PiedPiper]

i tried both but get same result, the popup just hangs there as if waiting to complete something.

Perhaps "cancel" could be changed to "Close" or "Finish" and only say "cancel" whilst the actual torrent is being created. Once the progress bar is complete and you've saved the .torrent file the process is complete. You just close the dialogue box using the cancel button. It stays open to allow you to create multiple torrents without having to open the torrent creator everytime.

4, i click Create and start sharing,

Try uploading the torrent and then downloading it off the site instead of create and share. Some sites will want you to download off them to get it going. (Oink for example)

The "create and start sharing" button should probably be removed. It's a relic from versions long ago, in ages long past. Just use the "Create and Save" button. Once the progress bar is full and you've saved the file, the process is done. The dialog box stays open and "Cancel" is still there.. it should probably be renamed to "Close"

this seems to be only half the problem for me, after i create and save torrent, i then load it into utorrent, utorrent then checks it, when check is done it then trys to download it instead of seeding.

[vurlix]

make sure the location where you save the files to download is the same as the one where the original files are...

oki i finally cracked this lol. seems that after u have created the torrent file, when u go to load up that file into the client, u dont use "add torrent" but instead use the option "add torrent (no default save)" in the file menu and then save the file in original location. now my file seeds without problem.
