Thread: My own .torrent wont seed

Hi everybody

I´ve made a torrent in Vuze, and added a open tracker udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80
When adding the torrent, it loads perfectly and starts seeding. But sadly the speed stays at 0, even thought I have been giving the torrent to a couple of friends?
I´ve been playing around with different ports in my router, and yes: I am connectable!

Anyone knows what the problem can be?



Thanks

Does the torrent claim to be communicating with the tracker properly in your client? Not familiar with Vuze but in uTorrent there is a tracker tab where this can be seen (i.e. tracker status: working).

All firewalls allowing connections to whatever port you are using? And added exception for your torrent software?

(Often for trouble shooting, totally disabling firewall to rule it out, helps )

I´m fully connectable, yes... Also tried dissabling firewall. It´s still a no go

Have you tryed it with other clients?

When you're friends try to download the torrent, does your client show any available peers? In utorrent under peers for a torrent is has two numbers, one showing peers currently connected to, and one showing total leeching peers. (for example: 3 (20) means that there are 20 leechers, 3 of which are connected to you and downloading from you).

No peers at all :-( 0 (0)

Client means Vuze, BitTorrent, uTorrent and others, not "trackers". i recommend you try out utorrent, it's got more users=feedback...

PM me the link to the torrent (i don't know if they've disabled the PMing for 0% members but you could try)

Sorry. I´ve read it as : trackers
Already tried Transmission. Will try utorrent tomorrow.
No need to generate a new torrent with utorrent, right? Just wondering....
