ahem85 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Have managed to successfully create a torrent file using utorrent which when copied to another computer and run on that computer will download from the webseed location (created in this process) no problem using a utorrent client.However when I tried to use the Azureus client (which is supposed to be compatible with the GetRight and BitTornado standards) to download the file from the specified webseed location in the torrent file i had no luck.I am just wondering how compatible the webseed protocol in the torrent files made with utorrent are with other web clients and which if any are compatible just now.Thanks in advance if anyone can help...

Firon Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Which version of utorrent did you use to create the torrent? You might also have inputted invalid URLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahem85 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 utorrent 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You could try remaking it with 1.8.1. Also, what URLs did you input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You should only input the root folder of a multi-file torrent. Otherwise are you sure on the remote system it can access your URL (by IP or domain)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahem85 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 webseed is an http link for a single file not a multi-fileIt works fine utorrent to utorrent just wondering how compatible it is with other clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 If it's the same URL and the URL is accessible, it should be working... something about the location is at fault. IIRC only bittornado (is .18 still the newest?) supports it's proposed webseed extension http://bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txt .. the other "getright" spec http://getright.com/seedtorrent.html is supported by Azureus as of 2.4 according to the top hits on "getright webseed" on google, among them http://getright.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahem85 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Here's a link to download my torrent file herehttp://onebigtorrent.org/torrents/4014/Workers-News--Pilot--Scottish-Government-Strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 K thanks for the link. Azureus should understand the "url-list" key :/ The file downloads fine from both the archive.org and (your vuze) client in Transmission. Checking uTorrent... yeah connects fine too.But webseeds don't stop when you pause the torrent >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahem85 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 If I can find time for it (which I might be able to) I can check out all the different web seeding clients listed herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client#Features_IIJust thought it might be easier posting it up on a forum and asking others experiencesAs long as at least one of the peers in the network can connect to the webseed (using one of the marked clients on the list) then this should prevent the feed from going deadI'm hoping in the future we won't have this problem though as surely all the bittorrent clients will jump on the webseeding bandwagon and a standard will be fully established, evidently we're not quite there yetThanks for your help, I will post up any other positive results I findAre the results you've given for webseeding with these clients using the torrent file or just connecting to other seeds as I think there might be a few seeds out there now, is it even possible to tell?

thelittlefire Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well I mentioned I connected to both the archive.org http seed and (you) using Azureus(Vuze). Right now, I see three other distinct seeds besides me, Vuze, uT, and Transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
