I'm trying to get web seeding working with my torrent. I've installed a seed.php script on the server and configured it. I've added the web seed server when I created the torrent file in uTorrent, and as near as I can tell, Transmission reads the .torrent file just fine. The appropriate web seed URL appears in Transmission. However, Transmission doesn't actually use the web seed server.
Looking at the server logfile, Transmission sends a request for the web seed, but the URL is in the wrong format, with no arguments. According to http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0017.html the url should be formatted like this:
Code: Select all
<url>?info_hash=[hash]&piece=[piece]{&ranges=[start]-[end]{,[start]-[end]}...}
The reason I'm not sure if it's me is that there is one seed (uTorrent) on the torrent, and one leecher (Transmission) and they are both at the same IP address. I was hoping to get some other opinions/IP addresses because I'm new to this. Here is the URL for the .torrent file for you to test for yourself:
