Problem with a torrent
At 16:56 yesterday afternoon, I uploaded this torrent: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/18245614/Schubert_-_The_Best_of_(VA)_[1993]__FLAC
hash 6E96FA0802325B8934261ECC082226981B46C77F.
I noticed after an hour or so that my µTorrent client did not indicate any traffic on the torrent. (I know that it can take some time for a torrent to start).
However, on the torrent description page there was indications of both seeders and leechers. I could not understand that since my µTorrent client showed no traffic. (I know that numbers are not accurate).
I thought I should try to download my own torrent to see what happened. When I clicked on the magnet link the torrent showed up in the torrent list in µTorrent. But I thought there was something strange, no warning that the torrent already was in µTorrent. Anyway, µTorrent showed that there was traffic, but I couldn’t download the torrent, it just wouldn’t start. So I did some more investigating. I tried advanced settings to change download location to my original torrent and then did a recheck. Nothing happened!
The torrent I uploaded have this hash in my µTorrent client when checking the “General” tab: BF6DB05086B3214E5F61D237AC20469F2BECA5E7. Now, that is not the same number as the hash above, taken from TPB torrent description page. That hash is the same as the torrent I am trying to download.
The question is how can there be traffic on a torrent, which according to hash is different from the one I uploaded? And why can’t I download the torrent?
Hope you can help me with this, thanks.
