Making a torrent with files on server

[oliphillips]

Hi,

I have been using Torrentflux-b4rt for ages on my seedbox. The subscription ran out and today I purchased a cheap shared one from seedplace.eu, as it was recommended to me.

It only has FTP and utorrent WebUI. This is really annoying as I can't find a way to make torrent files. For example I am downloading Season 5 and 6 of something from one site, and I want to make torrents of each of these seasons to upload on another tracker. How can I do it?

[FransTormer]

You can't make new torrents fomr the WebUI but as far as I can see, you have the ability to use NX and connect to the desktop?

Otherwise, but not always appreciated, you can upload .torrent from trackerA to trackerB and during the upload-process, the correct trackername and such will be completed.

[oliphillips]

Hmmm, this is really annoying as it's the main thing I wanted to use my account for. Speeds are really good though what I've seen so far.

Only way I guess is grab it off the ftp (which I was going to eventually anyway) make the torrent file myself.

Is there no program you can use where the file directory is a direct ftp address?

[hannerbananers]

isnt there a way on utorrent to make a torrent like on torrentflux?

[oliphillips]

Not on the WebUI

However, I have managed, in the last 10 mins, to connect to my desktop with NX/Gnome! Thought this would be way too complicated for me, but it was all pretty simple. But I can't seem to open utorrent! Something obvious I'm doing wrong! I click it and it doesnt open, any ideas?

NO PROBLEM! Got it working. Using utorrent through NX/Gnome to make the torrent. All sorted!

Cheers

Hi bud, you've been asking in several topics now how hard it is to use but obviously oblivious about using a Mac and other software than before. Maybe you should investigate/read/Google on uTorrent, WebUI, NX and so on if/how it can be used properly. Aside from the NX-connection, you don't need anything on your Mac (besides the usual browser and FTP-client)...

frans ive done my research and am still a little unclear so i want to get an answer from an direct user, which is what forums are for. if you can't help, please don't bother posting telling me to do my own research.

Probably easier than Torrentflux!

Literally just use the NX program to connect to your seedbox, then you can use utorrent as if its on your home pc. So easy seriously!

I'm on the 18 euros shared seedbox plan

[hannerbananers]

how are your speeds since yoru shaared with 6 other users? i was on xirvik and on there i just put in the server address to connect to theri seedbox torrentflux.

with seedplace, do i just install the NX client on my mac, use that client to connect to the seedbox, and then use utorrent instead of torrent flux?

thanks

[oliphillips]

VERY impressed with speeds:

For 18 euros a month you can't go wrong!

And yeah best way is install NX on your mac, connect. Then everything is as if you are on a normal computer. And it also accessible from your browser (WebUI) they will send you address, but it is quite limited as to what u can do on there!

[hannerbananers]

ahhhh well hahah i think you've sold me! LOL

yea on the with the other company i was on, they just gave me webui(url address) and i just connected to theri server on my browser using torrentflux.

so with this, i can see you just accessed your server using NX client? do you then choose which bittorrent client you wanted? or did it come with utorrent already? because im thinking of getting the shared dedicated seedbox shared with 2 users on 100/100 for 19euros. hopefully, speeds will be EVEN better on that.

[oliphillips]

It had utorrent already installed. But I think you could install what you want if you went for dedicated server.

[hannerbananers]

wow thanks alot man for your help. i really appreciate it! would you happen to have email i could contact you with if in the future i need help with anything else and support on seedplace is backed up?

thanks!

Just use http://torrenteditor.com/ to create a new torrent from the torrent file. All you do is change the tracker info, upload it to Site B, download it with passkey and throw it on webui. Saves time and server energy creating torrent.

I did this hundreds of times.

@ OP better open yr ports, what yr uploading is going to waste ,
