Hi I recently got a server for seeding and it works ok but I noticed for some reason certain sites it wont work on like pwt, fcz, and quite a few others. I wanted to know how come this is like this? It works in most but it doesn't at some. Any help would be appreciated. thanks \m/

What's the error message?

There are trackers which require the same IP to be used in case on browsing/downloading/seeding. That means you can't download the torrent from your home IP and use it on the box.

Also some sites use the pg2 blocklist. If the ip of your server is within the blocked ranges this could be the issue as well.

Alot of LT and HV boxes are in the blocklist so if your using either of those companies that could explain it. Im sure alot of other companies have some of their ips blocked as well.

pwt, fcz, and quite a few others.

do they use the passkey system or are they ip based?

Indeed another good question.
Also what torrent client are you using? Same on your home connection and the server or are they differant?
