otherwise, set up a dummy tracker to log it or do an Nmap service scan on the IP.On the other, the benefits of cloud storage were immediately obvious, and it’s no surprise this service has taken the world by storm.

If these guys use ruTorrent, I'm sure you can get or at least see the listen port on the interface. The question is, how do you know SonicSeedBox's IP and port in advance? There are some 'BT IP checker' services out there, but they only show you the former. This should nullify all the problems I mentioned before, since a torrent that was not valid (at the time) won't have its traffic counted nor be available for others to download.

Finally upload the torrent to the tracker, then restart it on both clients.

Stop the torrent on both, then readd the announce URL you removed before.

Wait until both connect and the files are copied to the box.

Manually add the IP and port of the seedbox as a peer.

Load the torrent in your computer, remove the announce URL, then start it.

Naturally, the tracker will give an error message like 'unregistered torrent' or similar.

Create the torrent with your private tracker's announce URL, as if you were ready to post it there, but don't do that yet.And obviously, even in a perfect scenario, it's going to impact the stats on your account (although not your overall ratio), which would not occur with FTP.Īlthough I'm thinking it may be possible to work around all those issues by doing the following: It may get detected as cheating/fake upload depending on how stats are reported by both sides, plus you risk other people jumping on your torrent while you're in the process of 'copying' it. I wouldn't recommend that trick for private trackers. I think the private tracker recognized that both client ID's were from my username - it was identifying that I had two bittorrent clients (SeedBox uses ruTorrent). On a 'real' seedbox running a well-known client with a remote interface, it would be a matter of FTPing the files from your computer to the box, then adding the torrent to the latter through the UI and doing a hash check before starting.Funny, I was trying to do that exact thing. For public uploads of your own, I suppose it would be possible to cleverly game the system by running your torrent locally, adding it to SonicSeedbox to copy it from yourself, stopping it in your computer and only then sharing the. To top it off, private torrents are not allowed in the free plan (haven't checked how this is enforced, if at all).

i have torrent X on my local computer that is tracked by Tracker Y, what do I do to push that material to SonicSeedBox and how does it work? Unlimited traffic?From the looks of it, you can only copy files in one direction, from them to you.
