Uploading and seeding with Azureus (now Vuze)
-
I'm using Vuze 4.0.0.2 on a Mac and it's working fine.
Are you still having problems?
-
Hey Everyone, thanks for your feedback.
Realised I had done some changes in advance Network settings as I received an error when I performed NAT/Firewall test.
Error " Binding server socket failed as no compatible addresses are available, please check your bind-to-ip settings"
Tried recommended settings, but I had no access to the tracker…
I just reverted back and left the error as is. Unless anyone has any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks

I have followed your step by step ont he torrent, i think the open for seed needs to be checked not unchecked, i have tried various options when uploading if it is not checked how to you get it in there to seed for approval, you can download the torrent but no option to place it there, if it is checked "Azureus" now Vuze places it in the process for seeding, when you upload the torrent and re download only the "torrent" it will ask you to replace the torrent already there, and hence yes, so the torrent that you made through vuze with the seed checked makes it work. the other way only makes the torrent come up with an error as unregistered torrent.

Unchecked. As you need to upload it to the tracker first and then use the downloaded torrent file for seeding. The original torrent file you make won't work.

thanks for the guide~~ otherwise would have no idea how to upload anything..

I have been having a problem with Vuze - my tracker status for torrents I download from this site all say "scrape error: file not found" though there is clearly a torrent file and a downloaded file in the correct director.
Should I be looking for something specific that I need to change?

It's just a scrape error due to the tracker not supporting scrapes, it's not a problem in Vuze.
Right-click –> Queue and they should change to OK {as long as those torrents haven't been deleted on the from the website or your passkey hasn't been reset}
Preferences --> Queue --> Seeding --> First Priority --> A share ratio under [1.1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers
Queue –> Seeding --> Ignore Rules --> uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers

I have the same problem, except in uTorrent (v1.8.2).
There's no obviously similar option available - anyone know what the equivalent is?
-
In µTorrent it is > "Options" > "Preferences" > "Queueing" > "Seed While Ratio is : <= xx %". Replace the xx by a value you like, preferable 100% or above and activate "Seeding tasks have higher priority than downloading tasks"
Similar to Vuze (Azureus), the default value is only too low 50% (= 0.500 ratio)
-
I'm not sure if mine is working. Been waiting for approval but says 0 peers.
I was going to remake the torrent to these steps to make sure it did it right but my file in Vuze folder is now a data file thingy I can't open or do anything with. It works perfectly fine in the Vuze "My Library" though and I can watch it and open it in other video players. But not from the folder, is there a way to turn my video back to normal? I'm confused. :-X

Hello EdibleAzn,
You are not seeding your torrent (at least from the trackers view). Usual reasons are mistakes in step 8. of the guide.
a) Once you have upload successfully the torrent to GayTorrent.ru, you must re-download the torrent from the torrent description page which will open. Use the "Download" button. It will have a modified tracker URL including your private secrete passkey (never expose that, even moderators don't know it).
If you have missed that step, go to your Profile by clicking on your name in top left "Welcome back, [you]" and from there to the torrent description to download the torrent.b) Once you open the torrent in Vuze / Azureus, indicate as download location your file location. If that doesn't work, put the data files or folder into the Download folder of Vuze before you open the torrent. Then it should find the file and see that you've got a complete copy and start seeding.
Hoping this helps.
Best regards

I have it seeding and when I redownload it says ETA: infinity and stays 0.0 forever.

You are currently not seeding it for our tracker…
Select the torrent in Vuze's "My Libary", right mouse button click on it and select "Show details" and than look at the tracker URL (in blue). Does it look like:
http://tracker.gaytor.rent:2710/_here a long series of letters and numbers_/announce
(Do NOT tell us the long series, it is your secrete private passkey)Tell us the tracker status shown lower in the details window, too.
If not, you have not re-downloaded the torrent from GayTorrent.ru and opened it in Vuze, but are using the torrent you did original upload.
As well, Seeding, but not uploading any data and having no leecher is "normal" until the torrent gets approved. Keep seeding it nevertheless, else it will not be approved.
-
Well I downloaded it again and put it on Vuze, still says 0% and isn't downloading but if it's supposed to be that way then I'll leave it like that.
-
a simple thing you can do:
remove the torrent from Vuze, now again double click on the .torrent file you downloaded from here and when it asks where to 'save as' browse to the video on your computer and then add the file, the torrent should check and be ready for you to start to seed…..at first it will not start to seed because it has to be approved by a moderator, this is normal so just leave it seeding and one of us will approve it....once approved it will go 'live' for all to see and download......
EDIT: or since you already have the torrent in your client you can follow these steps:
* go to view --> advanced --> my torrents
* stop the file (ie the one you just started and is downloading)
* right click and choose "show details"
* click on the "files" tab
* right click on that file and choose "Rename or Retarget"
* search for the file and click ok
start the torrent again and it should check and then be ready to start seeding.....i repeat: leave it seeding and wait for approval....
-
I think that worked. It downloaded.
-
great ;D
and just to clear one thing up: it did not download per-se, it did a 'hash check' for the torrent to recognize/realize that you have the video
-
Hi,
I followed the steps outlined. At first it said "Seeding" now it says "Queued" and the Tracker Status says "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is this normal? Does it say this because my torrent had not been approved yet?
Thanks.

Hello LAMB,
The error message "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is normal, because the GayTorrent.ru tracker does not support that function for non active torrents.
However to get your torrent to be approved, it must be in Seeding, not Queued. It looks like Vuze changed functioning since the last update and causing that trouble. Perhaps of the other (tracker) torrents you have active, raeching already your Vuze setting of active torrents…?
–- Edit 2009-10-03 ---
As I am learning, the right way to have torrent seed in Vuze / Azureus are to make the following settings (actually advised already more upstairs in this topic by another moderator):Preferences --> Queue --> Seeding --> First Priority --> A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers
Queue –> Seeding --> Ignore Rules --> uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers
It may take a while until things settle ( up to an hour).
Another brute solution is to force start of the torrent in Vuze.
