Private Torrent ; Not Seeding

[faint545]

I've recently created a private torrent and it isn't seeding (0kB/s). It's got that large blue arrow and says "Seeding" under Status. Here is the procedure I followed...

File > Create Torrent

- Selected files

- Added [my_external_ip]:[port]/announce to trackers

- Added localhost:[port]/announce to trackers

- Checked "Private Torrent" and "Start Seeding" but left "Preserve File Order" unchecked.

I also have Enable DHT Network, Enable DHT for new torrents, and Enable Local Peer Discovery all disabled.

I do have my router forwarding the ports that I set in uTorrent. I also have upload speed set to unlimited

The computer that is downloading the torrent is a server I have at home that is running Transmission.

I do have bt.enable_tracker set to TRUE

Basically, there are zero errors, but nothing is happening!

I've been searching through these forums for an answer and I haven't found a solution that works. Can anyone help me?

Try again without checking the "Private Torrent" option.

That doesn't seem to work

Ok, I've got it working by enabling the WebUI and setting the alternative port to a different port that I was using for my connection port and then using that port for the trackers... Why do you need Web UI enabled?

Here are my settings in which I got this working with:

- Enable DHT Network

- Enable DHT for new torrents

- Disable Local Peer Discovery

- Enable Web UI & check Alternative listening port (set this to a port DIFFERENT from your connection port)

- Set bt.enable_tracker to true

- Uncheck Enable UPnP port mapping (not really necessary if your router supports UPnP)

- Uncheck NAT-PMP port mapping (not really necessary if your router supports NAT-PMP)

- If you uncheck Enable UPnP or uncheck NAT-PMP port mapping, port forward connection port & Web UI alternative port.

- When creating a new torrent, leave "Private torrent" unchecked

- When creating a new torrent, add your external ip & localhost to the tracker list in the following format: http://[your_external_ip]:[alternative_port]/announce AND http://localhost:[alternative_port]/announce
