need help with .torrent

[Ifrit]

So, im trying to create my own file. I use maketorrent v2. I filled everything in, it found the tracker(In the program) and said it was up, i created the torrent and uploaded it. But the LED lamp turned red when i opened it in my torrent client... I have TorrentStorm and Shadows client. I think i filled everything out correctly... anyone knows whats wrong? People cant download from we, however the tracker says that there is a server seeding(me)...

You seem to be doing everything right, are you sure no one else can download from you ?
It could be due to some other reason. Try looking for an error message just as you're starting to seed..

The LED indicator is red which by the TorrentStorm help means:

"Red - The downloader had been unable to connect to any other clients.

If the LED remains red for some time, the torrent may no longer be available for download."

Any ideas? Maybe ill try with another program... anyone could plz post a link to a torrent-creating program, not maketorrent v2

EDIT: When i seed other torrents, the led is yellow....

Try using a different version, maybe that will solve your problem

ABC (AnotherBittorrentClient) is another great one. It's the one that I use. Very good.

Umm, I'm pretty sure your status light is supposed to be red while no one else is connected (I prettymuch exclusivly use Shadow's client, so I don't know about others). It will change colors when other people connect to the torrent.

For example, this is a perfectly fine, but pretty dead torrent I'm seeding right now.

yeah maybe but in the log it says "problem connecting" (Or something similar) and even if u can see that im seeding in the tracker, no-one can download. (I had a person waiting to DW for like 30 minutes...) I dont know but that doesent sound normal to me...
