Error when uploading created torrent
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2017 8:08 pm
Hello and thanks in advance.
I've been using Deluge for some time now without problems but now I think I must be doing something wrong.
The problem is as follows: I create a new torrent with Deluge, because I want to send a file to a friend. I use the creation tool in Deluge and for the tracker URL I write:
http://myIPaddress:portX/announce
http://localhost:portX/announce
where portX is some port (in my case 81).
On CanYouSeeMe.org I have checked that my service is seen on port 81 for the IP address "myIPaddress". I've also configured my router so as to forward port 81 to port 81 on my machine, which is running Windows 8.1 by the way. I've also configured Deluge so as to use ports in the range 81 to 81.
The error I get is as follows: it tries to announce the tracker but reports: "the connection was interrupted by remote host" or something of the sort, and then the status goes back to bad request - before it tries announcing again, gives the error message about the remote host, and continues looping.
I'll make clear that the torrent IS created successfully. Also, my connection is fine: I have several torrent clients up and running downloads as well as uploads.
I've also tried creating this torrent with other clients, but without much success (and in any case I would like to do this with Deluge, preferably).
I've also tried with different files, located at different places. I've tried with the simplest things, located at the simplest places on the computer - nothing works.
I've read quite a little bit - although obviously I am no expert - on the topic of creating a private torrent for file sharing purposes, but somehow I can't find a solution to my problem anywhere nor can I figure out one, and I don't understand the error message.
Note: I am using a VPN which is running all the time, although I'm unsure that matters a lot.
Any sort of help would be highly appreciated. I'll be happy to post any logs if you'd be kind enough to tell me how and where to find them. I hope I'm not missing anything obvious.
