How to track your own torrents
_________________
INTRODUCTION
Anyone who uses the the torrent niche will realise at some point, that many of the most popular torrent sites (such as piratebay and mininova) ban password protected torrents. So how do you get your torrents tracked if no one will do it for you? Simple, you track it yourself
PREREQUISITES
1. A recent copy of uTorrent. 2.0.3 is the latest version, there’s no excuse not to use ithttp://www.utorrent.com/
2. Your external IP address. You can use http://www.whatismyipaddress.com to find this.
3. Your listening port in uTorrent. You can find this in:
Options > Preferences > Connection > Port used for incoming connections.
4. You must be connectable! This won’t work if you don’t have port forwarding correctly configured.
METHOD
1. Open up uTorrent and go to:
Options > Preferences > Advanced.
Scroll down to find bt.enable_tracker and set it to True. Restart uTorrent for this to take effect.
2. Now, create a new torrent. Browse for the file you wish to share (presumably a password protected zip with the password uploaded on to sharecash. Remember to place the download link to the password in a non-password protected readme.txt file)
3. For the tracker URL, use the following information:
http://your_ip_address:your_listening_port/announce
So, for example, if your IP address is 69.69.69.69 and your listen port is 1337 then you would put this as your tracker url:
http://69.69.69.69:1337/announce
4. Remember to check the ‘Start Seeding’ option. Tick ‘Private Torrent’ to disable DHT and Peer Exchange for this torrent if you want to.
5. Press ‘Create and save as..’ and save the .torrent file somewhere. uTorrent should now connect (to itself) and the tracker status should be ‘working’. You’ll note it has a 10 minute announce interval.
6. That’s all there is to it. You can now upload the torrent to your website, and people can download and torrent the file, without you having to fear getting your torrent deleted
NOTES
If you want something fancier than an IP address
you can get yourself a domain name from somewhere like http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
http://www.afraid.org
http://www.no-ip.com
Note that your torrent will only be tracked while your uTorrent is running. You may want to consider getting a high speed/bandwidth VPS to run the uTorrent and do the seeding.
Troubleshooting
If the connect times out and can’t find the tracker, you’ve done something wrong. Ensure you’ve got the correct IP address, port, and that uTorrent is definitely connectable from the outside. You can run uTorrent’s test for that by going to
Options > Speed Guide
and clicking Test to see if the port is forwarded properly. Also, ensure you have a colon separating the IP address and port number!
