I'm not getting any web seed activity. I'm guessing it might be due to the seeds linking to /spoon/ie6.exe/ etc, with the last slash included, which doesn't go anywhere if you visit it with a browser. Know of a way to edit the file?



Yeah, I don't think uTorrent created the urls properly. TPB reports "temporarily disabled" for editing the torrent though :/ I'll bump my seeding cap up a bit to help.


Fixed it for you :) Also removed the now-non-existent tbp tracker (unless I've missed the news?)

edit: uh, I think. Transmission is throwing fits and not writing to disk...


doesn't your torrent client have the ability to add arbitrary webseeds to any torrent? just use that.


Unfortunately no, though I'm hunting for one that does, and lets me save it.


Do you have python? And a BitTorrent encoding library: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bencode/1.0 ?

Then I have something which will help: http://pastie.org/1559062

It conforms to http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html and can (of course) be trivially upgraded to conform to http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0017.html also.

Happy downloading.
