Private torrent

[Bluefalcon]

Does anyone know to make a private torrent for an online trade?. I know how to create the torrent itself but how do I upload it keeping the link "hidden" from others?

Yes, when creating a torrent use these trackers.

Code: Select all

http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce
http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce
http://tracker.publicbt.com/announce
http://tracker.bittorrent.am/announce
http://retracker3.netbynet.ru/announce.php

After you've created your torrent, just add it to your torrent client and send the file to the other person. No need to upload it anywhere. Alexander2010 taught me this and I've been using this method for a lot of my trades now.

Thanks Mike. I'll give it a try.

For direct data transmission via μTorrent does not necessarily add trackers in the torrent file creation...

Hmm, everything looks ok on my end (trackers working, showing as seeder etc ) but the person trying to download does'nt see me as the seeder and just stays on 0%.

Does not work without announcement sjmike is right...

that's a problem i think It mignt not be a problem of the properties BUT a connection problem between 2 peers ....Just as at Metapge you get problems between some ppl when you upload/download. It can be anyting prort blocking by ISP ,connection between countries and anyother networking problem.

best way FTP or ...Megaupload / mediafire.

You can also create a private torrent without using open trackers. Do a generic search for creating a private torrent and there is an article out there. I am at work but can post a link later if needed.

Basically your announce is your IP address and port number, then you can just email the torrent file to the recipient. I have done a few trades with this method. For some reason both the receiver and sender have had to stop and restart the torrent sometimes, but it gets through.

Otherwise there may be a configuration issue...

sjmike give you 5 open trackers, they are work 110% from PC and seedbox. But at me work with separate with a line and without too, but better with line. I use them already long time and no problem. I traded with South and North Amerika, Australia, Europa and Russia - EVERYWHERE works!!!

But you must add these trackers before you start create the torrent file. I think because of it you have problem. If you add the trackers after creating, then not for everyone so will work, for 110% Guarantees add before the creating.
