simonlang Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Probably that Haggis's site doesn't have the actual file. He just created a Link to it. I'm getting the same. do i have to have the original file (snapshot_linux 0.3.iso) to be placed in the same folder as my torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuger Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 do i have to have the original file (snapshot_linux 0.3.iso) to be placed in the same folder as my torrent? Yes you do. I grabbed the torrent and it looks like there are no trackers attached to the file. You need them for peers to be able to connect. I have a list of the most common ones. In Transmission, right click the torrent and then click properties. Under the trackers page, click add. Copy and paste each of these in (one at a time). udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80 udp://tracker.istole.it:6969 udp://tracker.ccc.de:80 udp://open.demonii.com:1337 simonlang 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Norris Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 i just can't get it to work on my system. i suspect, and have told this last time in irc, that my provider just has torrents blocked.Just out of curiosity, got your port forwarding set up properly? Know there's a few ISP's that may throttle, and a handful may block common server ports (80, etc) but shouldn't be able to arbitrarily block all ports going in. Although personally with only 1 or 2 seeders, unless you've got a lot of bandwidth it may be better to just host the thing elsewhere, really doesn't pay off unless there's a lot of seeders and/or bandwidth feeding it.

Kreuger Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 can't open that one in ktorrent. says invalid torrent file Weird. I use Deluge (that's what I made it with) and it works.

Weird. I use Deluge (that's what I made it with) and it works. Also works for me in Transmission. does not work in transmission either. with no error message... on ktorrent it says invalid letter 60 ... whatever that means... i see also your torrent file is just half as big as mine....

Kreuger Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 does not work in transmission either. with no error message... I dunno dude. Its seeding for me to someone, using Transmission and so are they. I got it from the second link you have. It shows as 1.4gb in Transmission.

simonlang Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 weird it should be 1.96 GB ... i am currently uploading to burnbit.com this should as well generate a torrent file plus some nice download buttons i could include on my homepage http://burnbit.com/buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 In IRC we added more trackers to the full 1.95GB file and transfers seemed to work fine. It seems that Burnbit only uses one tracker (openbittorrent) which sucks. If it's not downloading try this torrent instead: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbtuj9aga037ckd/snapshot_linux%200.3.iso.torrent?dl=0 simonlang 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can. Easier to just use the one torrent file if someone hasn't begun downloading yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
