torrent help

[fluffhead77]

So I'm looking to boost my ratio in the STM site and figured I"d maybe try offering a torrent up, but I'm a long time D'ler first time Upl'er and I'll be fucked if I really know what's going on. I've used azureus to create the torrent file, but when I try and upload it it gives me this.

invalid announce url! must be http://www.stmusic.org:80/announce.php

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated?

When you created the torrent file in Azureus (before uploading it to STM), did you enter

http://www.stmusic.org:80/announce.php

in the "Announce URL" field on the first screen to pop up?

Aloha,

Brad

no.

Should I have?

I'm sensing yes...

[fluffhead77]

ok, did that - now I've got some invalid file issues.

Should I be zipping this into one file first?

I'm very confused...

you aren't leaving the "" and "" in the url are you?

on some torrent sites you have to click "Update Tracker" with your new torrent highlighted in your client once its ready (when using utorrent anyways)

my account got dissabled apparently (didn't use it much) but though I can't see it am assuming you read the uploading tutorial at http://www.stmusic.org/punbb.php?page=viewtopic&id=675

hang in there, you'll figure it out
