Tracker Issues?

[lapestra]

Hey all, trying to seed a new Hamilton CAMrip torrent I put together:

https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/19542255

I created and uploaded the torrent w/o any trackers (per the FAQ), and now
the seeding bar in uTorrent is flashing red and green again intermittently, the trackers

udp://tracker.leechers-paradise.org:6969
udp://zer0day.ch:1337
udp://open.demonii.com:1337
udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969
udp://exodus.desync.com:6969

all list as timed out, mismatch, or unknown.

edit: OK it seems to be seeding now, but the trackers still say the same error messages
and I'm only getting peers on DHT and Peer Exchange. Is this normal, or is there something
I should be doing?

uTorrent can't connect to any trackers, so it will complain unnecessarily. Trackers are unnecessary so long as DHT is enabled and working. uTorrent is just being overly dramatic.

As you are still finding peers, and they are finding you, and you are uploading, everything is working fine and you can ignore uTorrent's unnecessary red flashing drama.

You should confirm that some of those connections are incoming. If not, you may not be able to accept incoming connections. This isn't a deal breaker, but it does limit who you can connect to.

Awesome, thanks, looks like all is well.

I assume that the green/red flashing bits you are talking about are the arrows. Or since I use an older version, something equivalent. That just means that your trackers aren't working. But that's ok. Adding trackers to a torrent nowadays is sort of useless, unless it's from some private tracker site nonsense.

As Moe said, make sure DHT is working and you should be fine.
