I've got a large file that I'd like to publish to my local web server. The only problem is that the upload speed on the server is capped at 40 kB/s. That won't be enough. I've decided to use BitTorrent.

I believe I've successfully set up the tracker (BNBT) and torrent (using maketorrent.py from the BT package). I put the torrent online, and began downloading it on the server (btdownloadheadless.py), to set up the source seed. It displays this, and refreshes it every few seconds.

When I try to dowload it from a client on the same network, it can't connect to the server. The router is set up as a DMZ host on my router, so the port should be open. I'm not sure what's going on.

I think I remember my buddie having the same problem a while back.

What I do remember is the fact that the Definitely is a problem with having the server and client on the same network. Not quite sure but is has to do something in the resolution of the location of the server, more specifically... it's something like the fact that the server will point to the localhost address..?!?! or something like that. We just googled it, there were similiar problems with other people.

Good luck

I had someone outside my network try to download it, and it didn't work.
