Spenster Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Greetings. First, the background. I've been using utorrent for quite a while on a private tracker. I host a few files for local friends and believe I have out grown FTP based on the number of people snatching from me. Firewall NAT is set up correct and I am connectable according to the port forward test built in to utorrent. So, I set bt.enable_tracker to true and create a torrent using http://killerclown.bounceme.net:44636/announce as my tracker. killerclown.bouncme.net is something I set up from no-ip and has worked just fine for FTP. Just to make sure that wasn't the problem, I also added another tracker using my real (and current) external IP addy. Anyway, I send the torrent to a friend and he says it's not showing him connect to any peers or seeds. On my utorrent, it shows a red upload arrow and says the tracker status is "connection closed by peer." I'm hoping there is something simple I'm over looking. Thanks for the help in advance.

Krumb Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Had the same problem when I first tried to use the embedded tracker. Solved it by manually adding: http://localhost:<port>/announce with a blank line between the original external designation. Worked like a charm afterwards. I'm surprised there is no mention of this anywhere. It may just be that my cheap pos router can't handle loopback connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
