First one, it eventually stopped seeding after I copied the folder being seeded. The second one I could not get a .torrent file. Both in the transmission client

It works fine using qbittorrent, at least, for me.

What are you trying to do. Please could you list the steps from beginning to end. Try to make as little assumptions about our knowledge of your problem as possible. If it makes it easier, make a video or a series of screenshots.

We can’t sit beside you and see what’s happening.

Its OK though. No longer have any need to seed, pthe people have their own, likely better backups

OK nvm last comment then (unless you want ) to try and get to the bottom of whatever’s going on).

So I downloaded several romsets. Compressed into .zip and all stored in a single, uncompressed folder.

I used a random list of 100 ish trackers, most of which were broken. It was a random list https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist I used the “all” section. Placed them in tracker slot. No web seeds

I copied the contents of what I was seeding and extracted a copy of one of the zips.

The torrent broke about a minute after

I don’t think I can upload media to beehaw

Downloaded using torrents or directly?

How did you do this?

What specifically do you mean by “broke”? Did you get a popup with an error message? Did your application crash? Did the torrent have a new icon in the application?

Use peertube or streamable for video, and imgur for pictures. With pictures you can black out any information you deem private.

The zips were all direct download.

I copied one zip using the copy function in thunar (I think)

Extracted it elsewhere

It just stopped uploading. Nothing happened to client
