I recently setup a Xbtit server install because I want to give an easier way for myself and my coworkers from around the world to get large documents, isos, etc. that we have for company use. Many times, they want to mail it, and it takes forever. FTP and HTTP is annoying because its obviously slow and can easily mess up; causing a start from scratch.
Anyway, I tried to create torrents from within Azureus (Vuze) and maketorrent. Every single one works, but thru DHT only. When trying to sync to the server, Azureus says "Error (Torrent is not authorized for use on this tracker.)" I'm using the PHP tracker for the server. The web server works, the fqdn is correct in the torrent file. When I go into the database and manually change it from external to internal, it then gives a different error about the PID not existing and to re-download the torrent. I do that and then everything is good.
The odd thing is that I take the torrent file that I used to download the xbtit software from a different site (obviously) and upload it, it works immediately. But doesn't see it as external like I'd expect.
The docs aren't very good from what I've seen on the Xbtit server. So what I'm trying to figure out is how can I get the server to properly recognize the difference between internal and external torrents. I'm suspecting its a server config issue and not a torrent creation issue, but can't tell.
If you have a different recommendation for a torrent server, I'm all ears. My only requirement is a web front end that lists and categorizes the files and has user managment. Basically same functionality of Xbtit.
