Jstick Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 So I created a .torrent and on my end it is "seeding". I send the torrent to my friends but none of them can download it, it just sits their inactive. Does anyone have a solution for this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Did they start it? Are they getting any errors? Are you forwarded correctly allowing incoming peers?Did you include a working tracker? Are you using DHT? If your friends right click in the Peers tab and add peer and include your IP:PORT information does it connect?You really didn't give enough information.

Jstick Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 well thanks im def a noob when it comes to seeding:yes they started it and no they arent getting errors.could you elaborate more on the "forwarding correctly"yes i am using a working tracker (i think) namely: http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announceyes to DHTi will try your last answer nowthank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 If it still doesn't work, maybe you need to forward your port? Goto http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=20110 but change the port number to whatever you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jstick Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 got it working and i think i know why, but you obv know a lot more, and can tell me if this makes sense.basically all i did was change the upload/download from unlimited to a specific speed and it started workingpossible?thanks again and sorry for the bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hmm.. if the timing of you setting that was around a 30 minute interval for announcing, it's possible it just coincided to a re-announce for your friends In any case glad to hear it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jstick Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 so it works for one kid, but not the other....wtfto sum this up, it comes down to this:i made a torrent and sent it to 2 ppl. wouldnt work for both, but randomly started to d/l for one of them who lives in the same suite as me (at a university) but the other cant d/l it while he can d/l other torrents just fine...he lives somewhere else off campusi am clueless.
