I have installed a new bittorrent modification which we need to test out. If anyone has any experience with this stuff and would like to give it a try, feel free to post up a torrent (as a regular attachment) and let us know.

Ok, gonna put something up in a bit:thumb:

What the criteria? And can we post them anywhere?

Anything you feel like testing is fine, we'll come up with guidelines if it works. It should work in any forum. Thanks man :)

Pretty cool feature, Eric.

It should be but it's notorious for not working right so we'll call it Beta for now until we can confirm it ;)

what is a torrent?:dunno:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

this should be a great feature eric. got a little surprise to see it. awesome stuff man. hope it works out cause its certainly a great way to share stuff.

I tried and kept getting this...

Upload Errors
Upload of file failed.

:dunno:

Tried uploading a few torrent files but kept getting the same thing.

Okay, here's a snip from their support forum.

Make sure the private flag is enabled when you create the .torrent


They also recommend using azureus as a client, which has the option to set a private flat. Here is a direct link to their forum for reference http://borget.info/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 (sepecifically, our version is VBTT 3.0 Beta 3.0.3 - vBulletin 3.6.x)

Sorry man, I should've known it wouldn't work right off the bat lol. We'll keep picking away at each issue one by one.

No worries:) I'm using Azereus, so I'm halfway there, lol. I'll read the thread and give it another shot:thumb:

I had Bittorrent installed a couple of years ago, it went too slow for me, but in this environment (within a forum) it is a PERFECT idea! Way cool feature, thanks a bunch!!

Well, it's still peer to peer which is based on user connections and not the site. The board will just secure them and track the status :)

Ok, here we go:)

Just a little something I put together. A small download to test the system:thumb:

Okay, it's hosed lol. I have to report this one and let you guys know. For now it has been uninstalled even though the links are there, it won't work.

Grrr, setups, setups! LOL! I´m having probs with this:
"Testing port XXXXX ... NAT Error" , but I´ll manage to fix it up with a lil help from here:

Crap:(

I know man, I would be rich if I had a dollar for every hour I've ever spent on trying to get a torrent tracker to this board software I would be loaded :chucks:

I have posted it up for the developer though and he's a pretty helpful guy, I will let you guys know.

Thanx for your efforts Eric. It would be cool to have, but I'd hate to see you spending all your time on it for nothing.

It's cool, I think we're close on this one so we'll see what the developer has to say about it. :)

Testing... This will not work, it's only checking to see if it displays correctly.

It's not showing all the files, etc. in the post it could be that it must be connected to the peer to do it though. PG, can you try again with another one when you get some time? Also (just a reminder) that the security flag has to be turned on. :)

Sounds promising...

I've downloaded much porn this way...

Did I say porn ? I meant educational documentaries...

:boobies:

Sorry man, been out most of the day. I'll give it a try.

2nd try:)

Ok, it may be working, lol. After uploading the torrent, the uploader has to download and open it to seed. Seems to be working:dunno:

Yes, when it shows "seeding" that means the server is talking with it. Excellent man, now if we can get someone to download it that would rock. I can't do anything like that from work here.

LMAO, well if I have to, I'll download from Janelle's PC:)

Bummer, I would be all over this like a shot, but I can't do it from work, and I told my ISP to shove it up their arse, so can't do it from home where I actually have the software !

:stick:

Problem connecting to tracker:dunno:
Maybe because we're on the same IP, never done this before. Guess we'll have to wait for someone else to try it.

That would be my guess, I actually thought that when I saw the post about this but thought it was worth a shot. Also, I don't think the little progress bar within the post will show activity, it's a bug that he is working on but it should still work.

Maybe I should of uploaded some porn:headscratch:

LOL.. Instant 10 Leechers!

Hey guys I am trying to dl it with Bitlord and I will let you know if it comes through :thumb:

I got about 5 kb dl speed but now it has slowed to 0 lol could because I am the only leacher though

Ok it has finished downloading and I am leaving my window open so I should show as a seeder :thumb:

Sweet! Thanx for helping out:thumb:

Great little program i must recommend for downloading your Torrents is UTorrent

http://www.utorrent.com/

It is very small , uses nearly no resources , and is very fast . I'm using it at the moment for Films and Progs but I'm uncertain as to how i use it on Guitar Blast . Do we have to upload the data for others to download and keep our computers turned on ? , or can we provide Torrent links to other places .

Hi Art..tried the above site but it wants credit card details etc?

Go here http://www.utorrent.com/download.php

Scroll down and click on the link named thus ......

Get µTorrent 1.6 Standalone (170 kB ) This will work ......

Will someone upload a torrent for another test? :)

I was about to, but I can't find the tracker info anymore:dunno:

I can upload one Boss, what size do you want it to be, I mean I think I have a couple of VH shows around 300 mb's, lmk and I will up em dude :thumb:

Sure, anything you guys want to try. The tracker info is at the bottom of the forum home page.

Well, I don't have alot for boots, so here's something that will keep us out of trouble:) This used to be free til the bastards started charging for it. Here is the last free version!

Guitar Alchemist Pro

Easily find which chords to play over a given scale and vice-versa, visualize scale patterns both on the fingerboard and on the staff.
Great functionalities that make Guitar Alchemist much more than a simple chord dictionary.

"Error: Unregistered Torrent Pass"

:dunno:

Did you do that flag thingy that we were talking about a couple of pages back?

Did you do that flag thingy that we were talking about a couple of pages back?

Yes I did. Just tried to recreate it and the same thing happened:headscratch:

There's now a link on the top right of the forumhome that says reset passkey.. try that. I'm not sure it will fix this but it's worth a shot.

FYI.. I moved the "reset passkey" to the main torrent page here http://www.guitarblast.com/torrents.php? it looks funky but works. I think you may have to click that, then re-upload the torrent.

Ok, tried that and I'm still getting the same thing:(

Okay, I am reporting as I go. I've also asked TJ to upload one and see if he gets the same results. I will update you guys when I get more info. Thanks for helping. :)

Just FYI.

I have my (wireless) broadband all set up and running now and have just spent today configuring my router and firewall to allow me to use azureus once again like I used to be able with my old router.

So if you need another guinea pig to test things out, just let me know !

:thumb:

Thanks but due to all the bugs I pulled it for now. If they come up with a more functional version I will try again, thanks for the offer. :)
