I'm trying to create and seed a new torrent file. Assuming the file I wanna share using BitTorrent is `foobar.tar` and the tracker that I've used is `udp://tracker.eddie4.nl:6969/announce`, which I got it from
https://fossbytes.com/torrent-trackers-list. I've followed the following steps:
1. Creating a new torrent file:
Code: Select all
$ transmisson-create foobar.tar -t udp://tracker.eddie4.nl:6969/announce -o foobar.torrent foobar.tar
2. Seeding the torrent that I've
just created:
Code: Select all
$ transmisson-remote --add foobar.torrent
But, after issuing the 2nd command—seeding step—I noticed the "Status" of the seeding torrent remains "Idle".
Code: Select all
$ transmisson-remote -l
ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name
2* 0% None Unknown 0.0 0.0 None Idle foobar.tar
Sum: None 0.0 0.0
I'm not sure why it doesn't seed. It'd be appreciated if someone could assist me in fixing this issue. The goal is to create and seed a torrent for sharing a file, like `foobar.tar`, from my server to other users—such that they can grab the `foobar.torrent` file to download `foobar.tar`. I'm not obligated to use transmission client, so feel free to recommend some other CLI clients, but I'll be doing everything from a remote server.
