How to seed torrents from a webserver

Stythys · 2009-05-09 05:29:11

Agh, I just can't figure out how to get torrents to seed from my webserver. I initially setup torrentflux but after I got it to where is said it was "seeding," my client (on my local computer) never found any seeds. I looked around for alternatives, so I tried rtorrent + wtorrent, but again I'm having trouble setting up mod_scgi with lighttpd.

Can someone help me with this? I've been working on this for awhile now. What software should I go with. Any help is appreciated.

I use torrentflux (or actually torrentflux-b4rt) myself. It was a real b***h to setup, as it is unmaintained and uncompatible with recent versions of its dependencies.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you only trying to seed (upload) files without leeching (downloading) them? Or are you trying to do both, but the seeding part fails with 0,0kb/sec?

I'm just trying to seed some files I already have downloaded

I'm having no trouble at all with torrentflux, could this be a firewall issue or are you perhaps trying to seed to a private tracker?
