scottyd Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am trying to create a torrent and use it for sharing for a few people that I know so I don't have to use FTP all the time.I've been able to create it just fine, but when I check it in the trackers tab, it shows that it's offline (timed out).I am a little confused on what needs to be set.Do I use the LAN IP or the WAN IP? Do I need to open up the port that uTorrent sits on in my router?I am running version 1.8.1 of uTorrent and the current settings for the tracker are http://192.168.x.x:24279/announceI also have bt.enable_tracker set to true as well.DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and peer exchange are all working.Any thoughts?

Ultima Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 You need to use your WAN IP. And yes, port forwarding is absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 ok.thanks for the info.i will try that and see what happens.changed the IP address to the WAN and then got a HTTP 300 error. Did some digging and changed the port to the alternate port of the webUI port and it got rid of the errors.but now it doesn't seem like anything is downloading.it might be cause my port is blocked here, so I'll have to try it at home.
