Thread: Seedbox doesn't seem to connect to peers

I recently rented a seedbox, and it doesn't seem to connect to peers. Some torrents show 1 available, some show 0, but on the tracker websites it will be more like 200 and 80. Any ideas on what I should/could do to remedy this? Has anyone else had this problem?

From which company are you renting this seedbox? Did you try their support? Btw i am using Xirvik box + VPS with rutorrent 3.1 + rtorrent installed and i havent got any problem like that...

I would suspect it has to do with the tracker. I have noticed several trackers that don't display the correct number of seeders in my seedbox. I haven't had any trouble seeding those torrents though, so i haven't been too concerned.

Does anyone seem to be leeching those torrents at all?

I've gotten some other torrents to seed correctly, so I wonder what's going on. For example, on the tracker's website it will say "34 seeder(s), 20 leecher(s) = 54 peer(s) total," but it'll show 0 (1) and 1 (1) in ruTorrent.

I have this same problem from a couple trackers. Have you noticed that it occurs from only certain trackers?

You know, I'm starting to think that's what it is. It's happening particularly with Waffles, which is the whole reason I got one. :)

The owner was real quick to help, test it out, and answer all of my questions. Seemed like he really cared, which is awesome.
