I've Finished My Torrent Site


AWSOME!!! :lol:

Here is a torrent i made. It's a clip whit all neos cool fights in the secund matrix movie nicely edited by little me ;) .

Ohps! silly me! i have to seed it! I'll go and try figure that out now...
 
Cell splitter or whoever just downloaded the gamecube movie can you seed it as there are two other people trying to download and bittorrent only works in small communities if you keep sharing for a while after you have finished.
Thanks.
 
Sam,

There are a few things you may wish to consider before you go down the torrent route. Firstly, you are using BlueYonder (Trowbridge headend) and you have an address from there dynamic pool given to cable modems (you also must live near me :eek:).

In simple terms, that address you are using could (and will) change at any point in the future and render the tracker completely useless as users will NOT (obviously) reconnect to a tracker after it moves without a pointer from the old address. There are a few ways around this the best of which would be to consider a free IP masking solution like http://www.no-ip.com/ to alias your IP address to a friendly DNS name (i.e. gpcinema.goatboy.no-ip.com). The big plus about this is that when your IP address changes you just update the no-ip servers and all the tracker clients are routed to the correct address again.

Also, is your PC going to be connected to the Internet 24/7 (bar outages, reboots etc.)? Trackers are largely useless if there running on a desktop that is turned off for 10 hours a day, rebooted every hour etc. as clients will time out and the network never has a chance to get to an optimal state.

One more thing, running a tracker is a violation of BlueYonders server contract but I don’t know of them disconnecting anybody for doing it (they normaly ask you to take the service down ‘if’ it impacts the local section of there network), but it makes sense that your aware.
 
WHy is it violating contract?
If they ask me to take it down I will.
My IP changes once every couple of months and I could just post the new IP here.
In which town do you live?

Sam,

If you’re in any doubt READ your contract. There is a clause that says ANY public server accessed by more then 10 users is a violation of there service agreement and they reserve the right to disconnect you without warning if you adversely effect there local network performance (not that they ever do that without warnings and a torrent HTTP is un-lightly to bother them ‘too’ much).

Secondly, why don't you setup an alias? It's a real pig to have to reset trackers if the IP changes, just my view of course. Oh, and as for where I live, ever looked at the side of every post I make ;).

Just saying I have read through the newest contract and there is nothing about that in there!!!!! :D
Cool :D.

Now you just need to sort IP aliases and it's looking good ;).

Dyndns is recommended. From my experience it depends how often you reboot your router/modem, but it seems to change every couple of months as you said.

I've been running Overnet 24/7 with upload maxed out, http servers, you name it, and BY have been very nice (read:ignorant) about it. I don't think a torrent tracker will cause too much trouble. Thanks for the service!
