Help seeding

Post by Kirk Hamster »

Yeah i am having trouble using UTorrent. I've always succeeded using MakeTorrent before. I'll give that a go in a little while unless someone steps in and explains this to me!
According to my understanding the process is as follows:

1 create torrent in utorrent, select directory and add tracker announce url + set it private (went fine)
2 wait for torrent hashing and upload torrent to metpage + fill in show id + forum id (went fine)
3 download torrent from metpage, overwrite mine locally (went fine)
4 start downloading the torrent in utorrent (just says its downloading, does not check data and start seeding)

right ?

i also renamed my folder locally just to see, and that did not help.

what am i missing?

edit: duh so i downloaded to the wrong folder.... let me have one more go at this ,i think i have it now
:D

Now i get the error 'show already exists in database' even though i deleted both the defect torrents...the torrent does not show up when searching for it (it did for the two previous ones)
maybe i triggered some form of protection mechanism....

Here is a link to your torrent: http://www.metpage.org/index.php?option ... 66&id=2223

Download that torrent and point it to the same folder on you hard drive that you used to create it.

You don't have to rename anything.
