Thread: Help With ruTorrent & creating New Torrents

OK so as simply put as I can here's my problem:

I made a .torrent file & I want to upload it to a tracker I'm a member of using my seedbox.

I don't want to use uTorrent because doing so would require leaving it on and connected for a minimum of 72 hours & hogging too much bandwidth, making my home connection slower than cold molasses.

My problem is that the .torrent file I made is on my home computer hard drive, but not yet on my seedbox so it isn't showing as a file/folder when I choose the "Create New Torrent" option through ruTorrent.

Can I use FTP (Filezilla) to transfer the .torrent file to my seedbox & then seed/upload it - or is there some other way to solve this problem?

the files have to be on the seedbox though...are they? and then you would have to make a new torrent on the seedbox that points to said folder in seedbox

My problem is that the .torrent file I made is on my home computer hard drive, but not yet on my seedbox so it isn't showing as a file/folder when I choose the "Create New Torrent" option through ruTorrent.

So you have the files on your seedbox and when you click create new torrent the files don't show so you can't select them to make the torrent?

I had this issue when I was using a seedbox from getaseedbox.com
Whenever I sent files to my seedbox through FTP the files wouldn't show up when I click create new torrent. My solution was to just enter the file name there manually (copy paste from FTP) and then proceed as usual. You will see the files hashing as usual.
