Uploading A Torrent?

**pje1979** · February 17th, 2004, 04:56 PM

When I try to upload a Torrent on Suprnova there is never a tracker available to upload to, what is going wrong?

suprnova's new trackers are not set up...yet. Until they are I suggest that you use an external tracker like everyone else does. www.Filesoup.com has an okay public tracker list. But make sure that you post on the tracker's site first and make sure that you have permission to do so. oh and btw the tracker announce url must be in your torrent when you make it so how are you trying to upload a torrent when you don't have a tracker yet?

You don't actually upload to a tracker, you upload to the SuprNova server, which then tells the users which tracker to use via the use of the torrent. SuprNova has had torrent tracker issues in the past, and are currently having them. This doesn't mean BitTorrent is dead, but rather you have to find a different tracker. Myself, I host my own tracker via my connection. It takes little bandwidth, unless of course there are thousands of users using your tracker.

Good luck, just "do a Google" on finding BitTorrent Trackers.

How does one setup a tracker and what is the slowest connection you would reccomend using+

The maketorrent program seems to prompt for a tracker and gives you a choice of one on its list. Some of these are dead. so thats how I made my torrent. I would like some help on this too as I am trying to upload my first torrent and don't want to appear to be a leech.
