Uploading and seeding with Azureus (now Vuze)
-
Hi,
I have the same problem, but I found something that helps get rid of the errros on many of the torrents.
It took some time, but by doing some network captures I think I found the solution. I saw that some tracker checkes worked and other did not. Comparing the requests I found that the working requests were on a single torrent, while the failed requests all had multiple torrent requests in them.I found that the following change should work:
- Open the 'Options' page
- 'Tools' - "Options'. - Expand the 'Tracker' section.
- Click on the 'Client' sub section.
- Check the 'Disable per-tracker scrape aggregation (can help with trackers that report 'URL too long (414) errors)'
- Click 'Save'
- Restart Vuse (azureus)
The tracker status sould now work. It may take longer as it is making single reqeusts, but they should work.
It seems that instead of returning the "414 - URL Too Long" error the system is just returning the "404 - Not Found" error. The cause is the same, the URL that Vuse is sending when using aggregation is too long for the system to understand, and it fails the request.
Please let me know if this worked for you or if you had any issues with the instructions.
I have noticed that is still occurs at times, but it's better now.
Thanks,
Rydar - Open the 'Options' page

I am having issues downloading & seeding on Vuze 4.0.0.2.
Is anyone having the same issue? I read on the Vuze website that states "Many trackers keep whitelists of allowed clients. They clearly haven't added 4.0.0.2 to their list."
Is this true & if so why is there a delay with GAYtorrent?
I hope someone can share some light.
Thanks

what exactly is the issue that you are having ???
is there an error message ?? has been going on for sometime ?? -
we don't block new clients (so far) no need to worry
aaliass: this is not an error message, it's about which client programs are allowed to communicate with a tracker
-
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....
