davieG Posted 31 October 2009 Author Posted 31 October 2009 Nope, mine hasn't started. Still showing 0(1) for peers, too. Odd that the tracker is showing in my client as piratebay, and I didn't think that was the one Davie used.Just noticed that my torrent client (azureus) has been updated though, so I'm going to get the latest version and try again. Superseeding is something you do for a specific file. It won't be in preferences. In azureus you right click on a particular torrent, and then there's a context menu, within which there is 'advanced...' which leads to, among other things, a tick box for 'superseed'. I did use piratebay.

When I started it it said 0 peers and after a while I removed the torrent and exited utorrent. Then I started utorrent off all over again, added the torrent again and it worked so you might want to try that if it still won't start.
davieG Posted 31 October 2009 Author Posted 31 October 2009 Here's a screen dump of my torrent; how do you set it up to superseed? Do you want me to leave my PC and internet connection on all night?
Daggers Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 Do you want me to leave my PC and internet connection on all night? Please.
Daggers Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 It would help everyone all round while starting this off if all of us can set upload to unlimited and then seed afterwards - at the moment I am getting diddly little download speeds from three of you...and two downloaders aren't uploading anything. This won't work unless you do - I'm currently in line for a 16 hour download!
coale39 Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 Surely uploading it to a site like yousendit would be better?
BoneDog Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 Do you want me to leave my PC and internet connection on all night? Yes please It goes faster in the early hours. I've currently got download speed of around 30kb/s and upload of 30 to 40kb/s so a few of us should have it by the morning. If anyone gets fed up of low speeds try it after midnight cos mine always goes faster then
davieG Posted 31 October 2009 Author Posted 31 October 2009 Surely uploading it to a site like yousendit would be better? It's too big.
leftsideoverhere Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 Surely uploading it to a site like yousendit would be better? Don't you have to pay to send files over 100MB? This is ten times that. Plus, downloading using torrents will be quicker once a few of us have the file running. In other news, I've installed an entirely new torrent client, and now have 3.5% of the file downloaded. Seeing three peers, no seeders, and predicting 10 hours.
Fox You Forest Posted 31 October 2009 Posted 31 October 2009 Mines on 44.6%. I'll leave mine on all night too.
potter3 Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 Had this running a few minutes, nothing's occurring, these messages keep repeating in the log.. [4.27.2 2009-11-01 00:10:56] WARNING : Problem connecting to tracker (http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce,): Timeout while contacting server. T'also says 0 peers and 0 seeders. Don't know what this means, never used a torrent. Don't you have to pay to send files over 100MB? This is ten times that. Plus, downloading using torrents will be quicker once a few of us have the file running. You can split archive it, into files 100mb big each, or whatever.

Don't know what this means, never used a torrent. That sounds like your torrent client isn't even able to connect to the tracker service, which is the step before actually downloading. My guess would be that you've got a firewall on your PC or router which is preventing the torrent client from making outbound connections.
Fox You Forest Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 The speeds are creeping up now it's getting later. 60.6% I can almost taste it.
davieG Posted 1 November 2009 Author Posted 1 November 2009 These are the peers that appear on my torrent for this file: cpc1-shep10-0-0-cust231.leic.cable.ntl.com:25130 host86-150-180-195.range86-150.btcentralplus.com:37325 188-220-119-84.zone11.bethere.co.uk:33084 The 1st 2 appear to be yanks I don't know if it helps but i've just added some additional trackers as the pirate one said it wasn't working. The new one is denis.stalker. Anyway i'm off to bed I'll leave you all to it. Hope it works. Will speak in the morning.
Fox You Forest Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 I have five showing on mine 3 American 2 Brits, One of which is a Mac user, probably Daggers.
Guest Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 I have five showing on mine 3 American 2 Brits, One of which is a Mac user, probably Daggers. or me then again I don't know if it would identify my mac at the point I'm at if it's still stuck at contacting tracker
davieG Posted 1 November 2009 Author Posted 1 November 2009 I'll be astonished if this actually works.
potter3 Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 I have five showing on mine 3 American 2 Brits, One of which is a Mac user, probably Daggers. Or me, although at this rate it's gonna take 4 days Only got 1 peer.
ACF Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 You guys are complaining that your getting 50 kbp/s. THATS WHAT I GET WHEN MY INTERNET WORKS WELL!!!
lcfc_jme Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 Apparently I have no seeds and no peers for this, and cannot connect to the tracker even though it has tried 15 times. No problem with downloading any other torrents, nor seeding them afterwards. What's the deal?

BoneDog Posted 1 November 2009 Posted 1 November 2009 Over halfway there now Downloaded 540MB and Uploaded 400MB. Couple more hours and should have it. Crackerjack I want to know who these folk in the USA are. Must be off FT. One of them's got the whole thing already
