Private torrent not seeding

[Silenzio]

Hello!

This is a frequent question, but I can't make µTorrent work as needed.

I changed bt.enable_tracker to true.

Then I created a new torrent:

http://111.111.111.111:44444/announce
http://localhost:44444/announce

Both Start seeding and Private torrent were selected. Finally I created a .torrent file and sent it to a friend of mine.

What I got was a blue arrow and Seeds 0 (1) and Peers 0 (1).

The µTorrent setup guide says everything is OK: Results: Port is open. Your network is properly configured.

I tried both with router and without it.

And is the other side reachable as well?

How can I check it? My friend has made a screenshot:

Who's the one downloading from you? If they aren't able to accept incoming connections, it won't work because your tracker is reporting an address to them that they can't reach.

Either fix the reachability or stop using the private torrent flag.

Not private torrent worked well. Thank you!

But how can one check the other side's reachability? I suppose it must be the other side who does it, not me?

Yup. If only you are able to accept incoming connections in your setup, things won't work if you private flag or run the tracker from the same internet connection you seed on.
