Ultima Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=5227http://www.whatismyip.com to find your internet IP addressUsing that, create a torrent, and put the following as your tracker:http://YOUR_IP:PORT/announcewhere YOUR_IP is the IP address that the above site tells you, and PORT is the port that you specified in the options.

MatCon5 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I did that... but my friend still can't seem to connect to me at all Are there any other options or boxes that need to be checked?There is a option when creating a torrent file, that says Private torrent.. does that need to be checked?

Ultima Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Are you connectable? Make sure you're not getting errors in the status bar (NAT Error, Listen Error, etc). Also, try turning on the peer.lazy_bitfield in the Advanced Options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatCon5 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well.. it's telling me that the tracker is offline (timed out) constantly updating....DHT Status: announcing...(got 1 peers)I have no idea what I did wrong... even enabled that option you suggested.

Ultima Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Just to make sure we're on the same page... do you have bt.enable_tracker set to true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatCon5 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes, it is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It should connect with DHT even if your internal tracker isn't working... odd. Maybe you can leave it alone for a bit, and it'll connect (I recall something like this happening to me before when I sent a friend a torrent as well).

STEPHANVS Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 It will not work... At least it's not working for me and the reason is this:I set up the router's port forwardings, so the tracker is accessible from outside. Anyone can connect to the tracker... Even me, but since i'm connecting from inside the router, the tracker registers mi IP address:port as router_lan_IP:port, which is very strange, but still... so anyone else who tries to connect to my torrent client, tries to connect to a non-existent IP:port, since it is not on the intranet.
