TraumaDoc Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Here is my issueI cannot download a torrent from myself ... here is the storyTwo XP computer on my home network. Laptop via wireless router and desktop acting as my server cabled directly to the router.On the "server" I am running IIS with my own homepage and BNBT bittorrent server/tracker and using utorrent 1.8.3When checking/testing access to the torrent server I connected to my homepage torrent server page and downloaded a torrent on the remote machine and it will not download from the server. It connects to the tracker on the homepage but utorrent will not send any data.On both machines if I do the "reset bans" and look in the log, it seems that both utorrent programs (server and remote laptop) are banning each other and so no data is being transferred.What's up with this ? I'd like to resolve it.Suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Are they banning each other or themselves?What IP addresses are being banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraumaDoc Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 It seems to be banning the single static internet IP that the router/network sharesConsidering the port that is banned it is banning itself on each machineIf I enable or disable the NAT-PMP port mapping the ban seems to ban the internal LAN and the the public IP addressesIf both machine/utorrent have NAT-PMP port mapping enabled then they seem to ban each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you're doing this internally, try using the internal IP of the server as the tracker address.Also, don't use the private flag in the torrent and enable local peer discovery as a backup.

TraumaDoc Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, having only the internal LAN address of the server seems to work - but only after I quickly tell each utorrent to reset bans. Then again, after messing around some more, it's hit or miss on when it works or not. No matter what I do it is still banning itself and/or the other and will only download (if at all) after I reset bans.What settings should I use or not use for NAT-PMT, etc?Why are the banning themselves and each other in the first place? Can this be resolved? What are the ideal situation for utorrent settings for this setup (rather than having to add my internal IP to the torrent tracker list).The server/tracker computer utorrent is banning itself entirely even when the remote utorrent is not operating.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 They are banning the public IP address of the router to prevent loopback connections.What version of BNBT are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraumaDoc Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's BNBT Easy Tracker Version 7.4b2If there is another tracker to use that will solve this issue I'm open to suggestions :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 *CRINGE*Old core, not supported, security flaws in it.Erf.I'd personally use a newer BNBT core tracker than that (either bnbt official from http://sf.net/projects/bnbt or CBTT from http://sf.net/projects/bnbtusermods ).Something you could do is wireshark the traffic for the announce requests/replies.

TraumaDoc Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, I downloaded the files you linked. I chose to use the BNBT version I downloaded because of its simple front end and html page for the torrent server front-end. Your links are SQL based and have no front-end. I'm just looking for simplicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'll be blunt.There are two different binaries made for BNBT in those versions. If you think that both of them are MySQL based and have no front end, you're wrong.I should know, I'm probably the one that put up the latest versions of both.

TraumaDoc Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I got things working with both the links you provided - but replacing the bnbt.exe screws up the html display and how the pages appear, which I don't understand what that would happen. I have not changed the default directories or files, but replacing the bnbt.exe changes how the pages work.The menu bar at the top of the screen disappears....

DreadWingKnight Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 There have been major changes to the core since trinity 7.4.Some of the changes ARE layout changes.Additionally, other changes have to do with interactions with programs like wget.

TraumaDoc Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Alright, well thanks anyway. I'm going to have to stick with the "old" version since the newer version isn't really functional on a webpage/html basis - in other words, the easy use menu and control panel, etc.I only run the tracker for a few private people, so I'm not gonna spend time changing all the html or scripting to return the html appearance and functionality to the "old" install appearance.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
