chmacka Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 How can I exchange files with my friends using torrents? I don't want to upload torrent to any torrent site, I want to send torrent to my friend with e-mail.I found a few instructions on the web, I followed every one of them and nothing.I can't find the page, but I remember that as a web seed i have to put http://(myipadress)/(portnumber) or something like that, and I have to choose private torrent.I tried reopening torrent after my friend opens it, but nothing.Can I solve this or should I still upload files to some hosting service and share them with my friends, rather than using torrents?I have uTorrent 1.8.1.

schnurlos Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 First of all: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=52662 fix your setup!If you have a dynamic IP, you can use a service like dyndns.org to fix that.So you stay reachable for your friend.

moogly Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Or you can use a public announce like http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announce to create the torrent and ONLY send to your friends this torrent.I used that many times to download data from my seedbox to home.

chmacka Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I did try TPB's announce, but nothing happend. Maybe it's problem with my friend's pc, torrent client or connection. I'll try this with another pc.And also, I already did everything from here: http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.php (I was downloading a torrent today with 40 KB/s, which is same as my direct download speed, and I had no problems with seeding before.)
