Default Torrent Seed Died at 400 Meg uploaded

Hi,
I created my first torrent using utorrent and distributed it to my friends. All seemed to be going well but then when my seeding upload reached 400meg, I was no longer able to upload any more data and my friends were unable to download.

I tried using different trackers and recreating the torrent but to no avail.

I am looking for any help folks may have. here are some additional details:

I have Verizon DSL with 768kb/s upload speed
I use utorrent as my client
The files in question are work related and are not copyrighted or pirated
I did not create a "private" torrent
I use a Linksys router with DD_wrt
I can successfully download other peoples' torrent files

Anyone have any ideas? If you need additional details please let me know.

Thanks

That's very strange. Can you still upload other files?

I don't think Verizon is throttling traffic, and to do this at 400MB would be even more strange.

Are you connected to your friends, is the tracker working? (the pitrate bay had some issues)

Can you see their IPs in the peer list?

Hi madpunter,

Are you sending a file or a folder? Has it been modified since you created the torrent?

The problem you have could be explained if you have modified anything from the source file, or any file from the source folder. Because then uTorrent wouldn't be able to recognize the pieces and would reject them.

Louis.

Hi,

I created other torrents to test with and it did not work either. I would not even see the other peer connected to the torrent.

With the original torrent I would see the peer info (including IP), just there was no data traffic.

I agree that from what I read verizon doesn't throttle. Especially because when I seed torrents I have downloaded but not created, I seed much more than 400 meg.

Pirate Bay is one of the trackers I am using, but I also copied some others off of a utorrent help site when I ran into trouble. These are some of the ones I am using:

tracker.prq.to/announce

inferno.demonoid.com:3390/announce

tracker.bt-chat.com/announce

tracker.zerotracker.com:2710/announce

open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce

www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce

denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce

denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce

Hi, I have tried both files and folders with the same result. However a file was the first attempt. Neither the files or folders have been modified by any other process; I set up a specific area just for torrent uploads.

madpunter, I don't know what to tell you.

Oh wait I have an idea. Use Podmailing and send a podmail to yourself, let the upload go through, and then get the .torrent from the Podmailing delivery page. Your torrent will be seeded by our servers for up to 1 month.

We'll unveil a new version more adapted to BitTorrent hosting (instead of sending emails) pretty soon.
