Thread: Help with creating a torrent

I have create many torrents before for BTN and PTP using my passkey as the announce.



This time I just used the trackers announce http://*******.*****gate.com/tb/announce.php

I upload the torrent to the tracker and then re-downloaded the torrent from the tracker so this time it would have my announce.

It start to do the hash check and it was complete and I became a seeder.

I see Seed 0(0) : Peer 0(4)

For some reason I was uploading anything at all.

This tracker was B*S

Is it Born2Seed? Where you must set your hosts, DNS and such just to login?

Yes, it is.

Did you wait some time for the tracker to update, at least for me it usually takes some time?

Did you also add your seedbox, in the case you use to for uploading, to the white list?
(click on your IP address and add it)

No. you need to have root access on seedbox because you have to insert hosts name (just like you did on your pc). txt file and such. After that you register seedbox's IP on tracker.

Actually, i cannot confirm this as i'm not on tracker but i remember read this somewhere.

When did I say you do not have to be in the suddoers list to edit the host file? I was never talking about that.

I was just asking if he added his IP address to the white list of the tracker and I meant the IP address of the seedbox.
I took the fact that he already edited the host file for granted, but when we are at it here is how you can do that:

for Linux and other UNIX based OS (Mac):

nano /etc/hosts

Add the IP addresses which you want to be forwarded
Save and flush cache to make that the changes take immediate effect.
nano = your preferred cmd txt editor.

You right. and Yes, IP seedbox must be included also, but seeing he already have peer , Seed 0(0) : Peer 0(4) , so nothing wrong..
Best bet is Help forum in tracker + screenshot.

If i have this problem, i will move on to another tracker.

I create the torrent using the seedbox ( seed.st) waited 10 minutes and I gave up.

I create the torrent again using utorrent and also didn't wait. ( waited 10 minutes too. )


I will provide images soon, when I decide to upload again.

Seed.st is an excellent vendor, but unfortunately in this case you don't have root access which you need to edit the host file. I assume you haven't done that ergo you aren't able to leech/seed torrents in the first place.
You should get an error message in the general tab of the torrent.

When you say you also tried utorrent, was that with the IP address you logged into the tracker?
Have you added the IP address from B*S into your host file and also added your IP address to the whitelist of the tracker?
Do you get any error message?

The IP address I using right now falls between the one I have at B2S

Added	First IP	Last IP	IP of	Added By	Type of IP	Remove
2011-10-08 13:29:11	98.113.0.1	98.113.255.254	UserName	System	Permanent	----------

B*S' IP address is added into my host file that allows me to login or access their site.
I don't know what is whitelist.
I didn't get an error message on the utorrent, however I did get one on the seedbox. ( I try to provide a image soon)
