Create LAN torrent

Post by DnSweben »

Hi all,

I hope I can get some support here.
I'm trying to setup a local torrent, for local use only.

I created the torrent using Transmission, and opened it again with Transmission and pointing to the source folder on the same machine 'server'
And the status shows "tracker gave HTTP response code 0 (no response)"
I tried to add the ip address of the 'server' and the 'peer listening port', still the same.

I copied the torrent to a other machine 'client' and opened it, shows the same behaviour, however after 30-45 minutes I suddenly got a notification that it was downloaded.

Is there anyone with a good tutorial for this ?
I want to use Transmission ONLY for LAN distribution purpose, and have each 'client' that downloaded the files to act as another 'seed' for the next.
Limit it to 2-3 connections
And slowly but speeding up rapidly to distrubute gigabytes over the LAN to 150-200 mac's.

Thanks in advance!
