Ubuntu :: Torrent Flux Doesn't Seed
Apr 8, 2011
I have torrentflux set up on my server running ubuntu 10.10 server edition. It seems to worked perfectly when downloading, but it never makes any connections when seeding. I've done some searching but haven't found any clues as to what could be the problem.

new to ktorrent on PCLINUXOS. Downloaded slack 13 and would like to seed but apparantly the download is automaticilly started but the finished file is not uploading.Opened ktorrent>settings>configure ktorrent and asks for path to file then wants a tracker.reading howto create your own tracker sounds very complicated (b/c of dynamic IP, routing, port forwarding, ISP bandwidth) but searching for a third party tracker returns some very cheesy/shady looking websites with tracking services but also links to all kinds of junk , dating services and the like etc.I'm not comfortable with opening my PC to these cheesy looking URLs.
1. What is a safe tracker to use (does Slackware have one?)and will it give me a URL to plug into the ktorrent dialog box?
2.what should my PC firewall settings be. Right now just allow bittorent is checked? I don't want to mess with my router as I just got local networking up and running and don't want to tinker with it.looks like seeding started but very little very slowly. What tracker is being used if I haven't entered a tracker into the dialog box? Is this whole thing safe? I'm used to ftp or http downloads for isos.
Thanks

I recently tried to upgrade from 2.6.23 to 2.6.32 but kept on getting VFS errors. I had overwritten the old 2.6.23 kernel so there was no going back. Luckily,I had the 2.4.31 kernel still in the /boot directory.
Anyway, I finally got some time to figure out the VFS issues and I managed to solve the VFS kernel panics. It was probably a forgotten configuration setting during the make menuconfig. Now it boots up only to hang right after the "Using /etc/random-seed to initialize /dev/urandom".
Looking at the rc.S script, the next section does the dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/random-seed count=1 ...
I know for a fact that it isn't that line that hangs the system. I commented out that line and it still hangs.
Strange thing is that I can boot up 2.4.31 with no problem; but with 2.6.x, I get a hang-up. I did a google and came up with something about rc.udev.new, which I don't have.
Can someone point out to me what is executed right after/etc/rc.d/rc.S? Or maybe point out where it might
be hanging? (To be honest, it's either a hang up or a process that's taking an extraordinary long time to
run.)

When I used to use Windows I love uTorrent as it downloaded much faster than the standard methods. So I wondered is there a Torrent for Ubuntu? And could somebody give me a guide on how to install it please?

This is something that should be easy. This is what I want to do:
1. I give an RSS url, a reges, and a download location to a torrent client.
2. The client then automatically refreshes that feed url every X minutes, and once a item shows up in the feed that matches my regex, it downloads it to a folder I specified.
Yet every few months, going back to at least 2007, I attempt to get this working in ubuntu, but I can never do it. Well, it's that time of the year again, I'm trying to get this working, and am having no luck. This is what I've tried so far:
1. Deluged - apprently older versions had a flexget plugin, but the latest version of deluged (the version that comes with lucid) does it completely different. Apparently you have to use this thing called "FlexGet", which is about the polar opposite of easy to use. I can't tell if you're supposed to install a deluged plugin for flexget, or a flexget plugin for deluged. Or no plug in at all. Flexget has a yaml config system which is way more complicated than it needs to be. All I have an RSS url, a regex, and a download location. What else do you want?
I also tried a tutorial on how to do get flexget working with deluged, but it was about 20 steps and it wanted me to do all sorts of crap like adding daemons to /etc/ini.d which is way way way way more involved that I want it to be. An RSS url, a regex and a download location, people.
2. qtorrent - This doesn't work at all. I added the url for my feed but qtorrent doesn't do anything. It just shows nothing. I know my RSS url is correct because wget gets it fine.
3. utorrent under wine - Does not work. I get all sorts of UI errors. It will list the torrents, but all of them 404 when trying to download. I tried grabbing a few of the torrent urls via wget and they all download fine.
4. I also tried out a older version of utorent - Does not work either. When I run the program, it wants to install to program files. I let it install, but when I navigate to my program files folder and run the program the installer runs again Great. Must be a wine problem.
I haven't tried vuze yet, but unless someone can tell me that they have it 100% working, I'm not going to waste any more time with it until the next cycle of me trying to get automatic RSS torrent download working...

One of the updates (Karmic) this morning listed the following:
Update
transmission-common
lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)
Description
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions:
1.75-0ubuntu2
1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file
- debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../'
- CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.

Just went to download 8.04.4 and to use the torrent. Guess what, the links on the page point to 8.04.3 torrent download which gets you a 404 error. To get by this, go into the address window of your browser and change each 8.04.3 to 8.04.4 and you will get the torrent.
Just thought I would pass this on if anyone was trying to get it via the torrent. If anyone is watching, maybe the links should be updated on the download pages.

I am interested in downloading ubuntu 10.04 on a cd for a friend. I want to use a torrent to get the file so I can seed after the download. When I go to the alternate download page located here: http:[url]....It gives me multiple options on which torrent to download:
ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso.torrent
I am confused as to which I should download.I know that amd64 is for the amd architecture and i386 is for intel, but what is the difference between alternate and desktop?

Is there a torrent for the netbook edition of ubuntu.
I'm running it in VirtualBox because I only want it to faff around with, I tried the full desktop version but it was a bit slow so I thought I'd give the netbook version a go. (I'm on a laptop)
I'm asking this because the download is very slow.
I'm on a 20mb connection and it starts off around 400k but then goes down to 30 so it will take hours.

Which one do you guys use and why? I'm too used to Utorrent on windows, it's light and simple. I tried Ktorrent on ubuntu but didn't like it. Transmission doesn't go as fast a Utorrent. I'm not someone who uses these things too often as I use them to download big distros like Debian, OpenSuse and some other good freebies. But I'm wondering if there's anything as simple and fast as Utorrent for Ubuntu or if there's some tweaks I should do that I'm not aware of.

whenever I use the files, which are mostly audio files (that is, I play them), after they are downloaded, the torrent files restarts again. So I have to wait for the file again to finish downloading so I can seed.

How to make a private torrent on Transmission? Back when I was on windows I used to do it on utorrent. I remember that you had to put [URL] for the announce url. I figured it would be the same thing on Transmission, but it's not working. Did I skip something, or do something wrong? Or is there a whole different way to do it on Transmission? It's been a while since I've done this.

I couldn't find an answer myself. So, the problem is that every single bittorrent program I tried downloads files I checked to ignore so I know this is not a program related issue. For example, there are 2 pictures in a torrent, I select only one but in the end I have both downloaded.

I've just replaced my Windows XP for Ubuntu on my desktop computer and I'm now looking for a torrent client that has some useful features that I miss from uTorrent, such as:
- Queuing torrents
- Setting bandwidth priority for multiple files within a torrent
- Auto-shutdown when finished
- DHT
- Bandwidth control

So, my experience with the upgrade. Going from 9.10 64-bit to 10.4 64-bit. Tried to be a decent, sharing sort and downloaded the LiveCD for 64-bit from torrent. No problem. Didnt have any blank CDs handy, but I had a 1GB USB thumb drive that I have used to install other distros that I wanted to test, so used unetbootin to make my installation on. No problem.
LiveCD tried to run, but hung with a black screen; no blinking cursor, nothing. Problem. Restart, go back to my functioning system, and re-create the LiveCD on the thumb drive using USB Startup Disc Creator. No problem. Reboot. Monitor went into standby and never came out. Problem. Decided to give up on the LiveCD. Downloaded the alternate-install CD for 64-bit and put it on the thumb drive. No problem.
Installation went fine. No major hang-ups at this point. Had the grub_puts problem, even though I specified the correct place, and so had to reinstall grub, which fixed that.
Although it is still early in the process for me, my main (relatively minor) gripe is the same one I always have: Although Linux seems to be able to tell a lot about the hardware (through what I assume is either asking the hardware about it capabilities or getting info from the BIOS, perhaps), why can it not tell that my keyboard numlock key is supposed to be ON? My BIOS is set to turn it on at boot. My username and password both have numbers in them, and it is convenient for me to have the numlock on at boot and remain on.
I fully realize that there are many users of notebooks/netbooks that having this setting ON for default is a problem. I dont want it ON as default. I want a simple way to change the setting. Ive seen complaints and questions about this since at least Edgy (there may be older postings, but I havent needed to research back). System>Preferences>Keyboard can let me do so many things with my keyboard - except this, apparently.

I'm in a hotel right now and apparently they got it blocked so that I can't download torrents or p2p. I plug straight into the lan. I don't know enough about networking. I know that torrent programs need access to certain ports to work. So is theyre firewall blocking the port? I've heard a proxy server can get around this problem for me. I don't know anything about proxy servers or how to set them up. I'm also relativly new to Ubuntu / Linux but I've already learned a great deal about it so if any of you guys could take the time to give me a quick walk through of what I need to do in order to start torrenting again
