creating a torrent in rutorrent/seedbox for a tracker

Post by gatomike26 »

I got a seedbox a few months ago I know how to create a private torrent and email someone the link/paskey so they can download it from my seedbox I also know how to do that with Utorrent.

My question is how do I upload a torrent I creat in my seedbox to a tracker.

I know utorrent checks it and then you are seeding.

Not sure how to do this in my seedbox.

In ruTorrent there is a create torrent button, click that and point it the folder you want to share, enter these trackers (with the line break in between each one).

Code: Select all

Make sure and check these two boxes ("Private torrent" is optional) and then press Create..

It will then create the torrent and once its ready, press Save to download a copy of the torrent file, which you'll send to the other person. Since you clicked start seeding when you created the torrent, you won't have to upload a copy of the torrent back to the tracker.

Mike, I don't do a tick on "Private torrent" and at me works very fine, if I do it, then nothing works. Maybe you do it for the seedbox as extra?

After you've created a torrent on your seedbox it should prompt you to Save it. Take that file, upload it to the site's tracker and get your new torrent from there which contains your private key.

Now that you have your new torrent, just press the Add Torrent button on your seedbox, browse for the new torrent and press and press Add File. It should then start hash checking the data.
