[SOLVED] Slackware torrent fail

Widgeteye · 12-03-2014, 11:09 AM

I went to Slackware.com and downloaded the torrent iso files, all of them, so I could seed them on my highspeed seedbox. But there are no seeds so I can't download the actual iso files. Someone have them all and want to seed for awhile?

Thanks

if you have seedbox properly configured than you may wait a while so seed appears. try also re-downloading a torrent.

I just tested the 64-bit ISO file, and there's 330 seeders + 10 downloading it ATM.

So try what yooy suggested, and make sure your seedbox is setup correctly (mainly check the port configuration. Make sure you use a port in this range 49152-65534, and not the default 6881)

Hope this help...

As always, feel free to ask for more help if/when needed

I redownloaded and added them to the seedbox again. No seeders. My seedbox is setup right, I've been using it for over 2 years.
I am getting the torrents from the Slackware get slack torrents page. I am still showing no seeds.

That's odd...
Granted, I did only test one. But that one had seeders as well as well as peers downloading it.

Tested the 64-bit .torrent again. 359 seeders, 28 who are downloading.

I made a print screen of my ktorrent client, showing the Slackware64 14.1 status...

Thanks, I'll do some more investigating. All my other torrents are doing fine.

Finally figured it out. The seedbox guys had to reboot the seedbox.
I amd now hosting the torrents.
