Thread: Unpacking using seedbox

that is what I have been doing. I just tried again and it sits at 'download' with the red arrow down. My process is, I have the enable unpack option selected in an 'unpack' directory. It creates a folder for it and an .mkv file. I click 'create' torrent for the this file. I upload this .torrent to the site and then open seedbox and click 'add torrent' and select directory and find the file I just sent to my hd and select it. It shows up in my seedbox and then I download the .torrent from the tracker and it does nothing.

It should be:
I upload this .torrent to the site and then download the new .torrent from the site. open seedbox and click 'add torrent' and select directory and find the file I just sent to my hd and select it.

Just to confirm. You should be dealing with two .torrent files. Torrent file A is the one you create and upload to the site. Torrent file B is the one you download from the site after you finished the site's procedure for creating it. Torrent file B is just the normal torrent file that you would download as if you were normally downloading.

When you say " it does nothing.", does it not run a check?

Yes, I followed that process and nothing. I create the torrent from the 'unpacked' file, upload to site, download from site, then add the file in the seedbox. My file says 'downloading' with red arrow down and when I 'add torrent' it goes to blue down arrow but sits at 0% and does nothing, not even 'check'. Just says downloading.

The possible reason why it isn't checking is either you are not adding it to the right directory. don't forget to add it to the directory you created it from otherwise you will face that issue like you are doing now... btw have you upped to that tracker before...

what would be the process of adding it to the directory? I thought I was doing that but want to make sure.

Assuming you have a folder in your home directory called Unpack, take a look at the screenshot below..

Make sure it looks like this before adding the new .torrent file you wish to add..

One thing don't forget to delete the first one you created in the client, immediately after uploading it to the tracker..
Also make sure the first one you create appears in the Error Tab, if it doesn't appear there then I don't think the second will even work...

Ok, the unpack directory folder I have right. Can you elaborate more on the bold? I don't think I have been deleting anything.

Now follow these steps in the screenshot I made below..

The torrent you saw under the Error Tab was the one I created and uploaded to the private tracker. Before I upload the new one the site added with my Passkey or PID i must delete the one showing in Error, then add the new one I downloaded from the tracker making sure it's in the right directory...
