Cannot seed own torrent
-
Hello, I am new to uploading torrents and i am having a bit of trouble. I am using BitTorrent and i have used that program to create my torrent and tried to upload it but was unable to seed so i am now using the QuickTorrentMaker which works in creating the torrent and uploading it to the website but when i go to download it it just says finding peers (i have been deleting and re-trying for about 2 hours and still get the same message) i look at the trackers and they say: DHT: not allowed
Local Peer Discovery: not allowed
Peer Exchange: not allowed
tracker.gaytorrent…: Failure: your download rights have been taken.
i have chose the download destination of the torrent in the folder where the file is originally located, so im not sure what i am doing wrong, if anybody knows whats happening and can fix it i would be very great full, thank you in advanced

My best guess of what went wrong, is the directory configuration of QuickTorrentMaker.
QuickTorrentMaker shows during it's first a screen to configure directories, which are pre-filled for a standard Windows PC and using µTorrent.
As BitTorrent user, you will have needed to change the path in the last field from "…/uTorrent.exe" into ".../BitTorrent.exe" (assuming that your BitTorrent executable is located in the standard program files folder of Windows), but skipped over it.
To correct that, you'll need to uninstall QTM:
Windows Start menu > All Programs > QuickTorrentMaker > uninstalland then reinstall QTM, making the right configuration for BitTorrent.
If that is right, QTM should load the torrent itself into BitTorrent and set the right directory to seed (and not download).
For the torrent which is currently "Searching Peers", try the following:
1. Stop the torrent (do NOT remove)
2. Click with the right mouse button on the torrent in µTorrent/BitTorrent's list and select "Advanced" > "Set Download Location…" > navigate to the to the folder which contains the file, respectively folder, from which the torrent has been created, confirm with "Select folder".
3. Right mouse button click on the torrent in µTorrent's list and select "Force re-check". The torrent should check to 100% and µTorrent displaying "Finished" instead of "Stopped" in the status column.
4. Restart the torrent, it shall go to "Seeding" or at least to "Queued seeding"–----
Regarding:
DHT: not allowed
Local Peer Discovery: not allowed
Peer Exchange: not allowed
This is absolutely normal and correct for any torrent from private tracker like GayTorrent.ru. Only peers from the tracker are allowed and those functions would allow connection of peers from other origins. -
Thank you so much
i fixed QTM to make it BitTorrent and then the force re-check works. :hug:
