Creating a New Torrent - Solved: I just needed shorter folder names
Posted: Mon May 29, 2017 7:35 pm
Edit: Turns out my file's directories+names were too long. There was no error message thrown by Deluge letting me know this was the problem.
I have to be pretty damn retarded to not be able to figure this out. But I go into Deluge. I click File. Then Create New Torrent.
From there, I'm lost. I want to make a torrent out of a folder that contains two folders, one of which has 8 subfolders, and in all of these low-level folders are hundreds of files.
So I would think, I want to click the "Folder" button, right? That opens up a directory browser, I navigate to the folder I want, and I click Open. Nothing happens. I click Open. Nothing happens. I click Cancel. Nothing happens. I try doing drag and drop, because it gives an interesting UI, but I can't figure out if that is doing anything - it appears nothing happens.
So, can someone give me a super super detailed rundown of this super basic process?
In case it matters, the total size of the folder I want to add is 2.6 GB, and it is located in my Windows User Document folder.
