The uploaded torrent could not be verified. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

@Tymo87 said in Uploads working but seed not starting:

Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong here? Cheers

Not with so little detail. You need to say what status your torrent client is reporting, is it "seeding" or "stalled" or something else?

Also, make sure to check the tracker status, if something is wrong it will report in the "message" column:

yeah sure, the guy have been waiting since 2022 for the upload instructions lol

I just did an upload it went thru fine pics and everything... its seeding as normal.

I think I fixed the issue. I believe it is my NordVPN. I am using the split-tunneling feature. I turned that feature off and now I seem to be connecting.

@cp2000 As far as I know you can seed from multiple IPs with no issues. You just need to make sure that nobody else with an account here is seeding from any of them or you'll get flagged for multiple accounts.

In practical terms, my advice would be to put the newest and most popular torrents in your seedbox, and only seed older and less in-demand stuff from your home connection so that you can make the most of the insane upload speeds you tend to get from a seedbox.

@Tilbert Your ISP might throttle your speeds based on your recent behavior if that is allowed in your country and stated in your agreement.

What I advise you to do is, look for a torrent with high popularity in a public tracker, for instance a TV show episode that was just posted. Let it sit in your client for a few hours and see how the upload speed goes.

If it caps around 600 kbps, it could be either the ISP or the VPN. You can try disabling the VPN and checking if it has any effect. In case it stays the same, you can try temporarily switching to a different network, just to confirm.

If you cannot connect to a different wifi, you can share your phone's 4G/5G to your PC using a USB cable, and see if it has any effect on upload speed.

Thanks for the info, I did originally post to the original category and then I was able to change it to to the image category.

The very quick responses we really great to get!

I've been using BiglyBT (formerly Azureus and then Vuze) since forever. It performs well, and gives you a lot of control over things. I particularly like the ability to automatically label and move downloads when they're added or completed, as it just simplifies things for me. I don't know if other clients might have the same functionality, but I'm used to the interface now and have no plans to change.

@ianfontinell-0 Thanks for the response - something for me to consider for my next VPN upgrade
