I'm running Deluge on a headless Ubuntu server, and I'm trying to create a torrent and start seeding it. These are my steps so far:
1. Create torrent. You cannot create a torrent file using deluge on the command line, so I use transmission to create the torrent instead:
Code: Select all
transmission-create file.txt -o file.txt.torrent
Code: Select all
add file.txt.torrent
Code: Select all
Attempting to add torrent: /home/me/folder/file.txt.torrent
Torrent added!
* TorrentStateChanged: Paused None (0545d401658e917a2bf5fab137b6f8fe97386552)
* TorrentStateChanged: Downloading None (0545d401658e917a2bf5fab137b6f8fe97386552)
* TorrentAdded: file.txt (0545d401658e917a2bf5fab137b6f8fe97386552)
Anyway, according to the info for this torrent:
Code: Select all
State: Downloading Down Speed: 0.0 KiB/s Up Speed: 0.0 KiB/s
Seeds: 0 (-1) Peers: 1 (-1) Availability: 0.00
Size: 0.0 KiB/278.2 GiB Ratio: -1.000
Seed time: 0 days 00:00:00 Active: 0 days 00:01:16
Tracker status:
Progress: 0.00% [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]
What might be preventing deluge from seeding this torrent?
Note: I have been able to seed torrents on my local computer, but only if I created them in my Downloads folder. I'm thinking this problem may be due to some sort of folder configuration, but so far my attempts at fixing it that way haven't worked.
