So, I've been trying to share a file to a family member by setting it up as a torrent. (it's nothing private so I don't mind it being open like that), and everytime I upload it it's on the demonoid site for a min or so then disapears. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I followed their tutorial for utorrent. Basically, created it in utorrent then forst started it, and went through the upload process on demonoid. Anyone have any suggestions as to why I fail at creating torrents? I have that "torrent deleted or not in pool yet" error, that demonoid's tutorial says will be fixed after 3 min and the tracker is updated. But when I refresh or click on something on my torrents page on demonoid it says torrent has been deleted by the creator or mod. Or just the file can't be found. Been following this tutorial... http://www.demonoid.com/faq_creation_utorrent.php I'm such a noob at this.
You have to download your own torrent once you've gone through the upload part for it to seed. I also usually check "force seed".
Do you mean, that I have to click the download this torrent link? If so, when I do that it then says the torrent is gone. (from demonoids page).
Yup, as soon as you upload it you need to download to make a peer (you). It takes maybe 5 seconds and in Utorrent in the seeders part it will show (1), and the torrent will also be green. I don't use Demonoid so I'm not sure why it would be disappearing before you can start the torrent?
What sites do you use? Might just be something with demonoid that I'm doing wrong. It shows it being on demonoid for a few min, then it disapears from the site and so my utottrent is stuck not working. Guess I'll just snail mail the disk to the middle east....figured this would be easier.
Big file. Was trying to send him an ISO for software he purchased, instead of mailing it. (was going to mail the original copy later on). But guess I'll just send him it by snail mail, etc.
I've done this before, although it was a long time ago, and as I recall you can self-host the file (using your local machine as the tracker), so you don't have to use a third-party tracker. I believe at the time I used Azureus to do it, and it was just an option you could select when creating the torrent file.
