ukrm-nova and bittorrent

I seem to be having problems seeding something I downloaded via this
new ukrm-nova thingy, and I'm keen to do my bit for the good of the
whole p2p wise.

Unfortunately though, I'm a bit a of a spaz when it comes to
bittorrent, so I wonder if someone could please tell me if the
following error means I'm doing something wrong (I'm using bittorrent
5.0.5):-

[5.0.5 2007-02-15 23:02:05] DEBUG : starting torrent

I have substituted "1.2.3.4" for my real, publicly-visible IP address
and port 4669 TCP is wide open. I'm also seeding a few things on uknova
and those torrents all seem to be fine and error free.

What's that "minimum announce interval" malarkey all about then?

 

Bad form and all that, but every couple of minutes it's also logging
the following errors:-

[5.0.5 2007-02-15 23:09:56] WARNING : Tracker announce still not
complete 60 seconds after starting it
[5.0.5 2007-02-15 23:09:56] WARNING : Problem connecting to tracker
(http://statto.dyndns.org/tracker/announce.php): Timeout while
contacting server.

I can reach the server by HTTP no problem, so that isn't it. I expect
I'm being a divvy, but how do I fix it?

 

I've tweaked a setting on the server - has it made any difference?

Also, I'll be looking at setting up some forums on the server at some
indeterminate point in the future.

 

Thanks. It doesn't appear to have made any difference unfortunately (I
also tried stopping and restarting the bittorrent app here and that
didn't work either). As (I assume...) nobody else is having any
problems, I'll probably try fetching another torrent program and using
that instead. Chances are it's something stupid I'm doing at this end,
I reckon, because this torrent business is not something I know very
much about.

That'd be cool.

 

I use uTorrent - IIRC there's a link off one of the FAQs. If not,
JFGI.

 

Will do, cheers!

 

uTorrent is good.

 

BTW, I've not got a confirmation email from you when I subbed to
ukrm-nova.

 

**** even I have it running

 

I missed Hotel Babylon yesterday[1] and cannot see it in the planner for
repeat
So ho do I do this Nova thingy and get a copy of yesterdays episode?
[1] sky plus already busy with 2 other recordings and I was out

 

Yeah, uTorrent is obviously the one to use. I installed it and it's
working nicely with no random screwing-around from me.

 

Me either - or any sort of email in fact, but I've not tried to login
yet - Are we getting any notification once the accounts are ok'd ?

 

Phew, thought I was being left out.

 

<adds to ever growing fixit list>

 

Not automagically, yet. However, everyone who has registered has been
confirmed.

 

Nicked for use in the ukrm-nova FAQ

I'd be so much more impressed if it was a Timo-proof vehicle.

 

Ditto.
