Transfer files without a tracker in utorrent

Posted on August 5th, 2009 by Donace in Computer, How to, Internet

In this tutorial I will explain how to transfer files via utorrent without the use of a tracker :)

This is very useful to share large files with your friends or even download/upload files to your seedbox ;)

So, let’s get started.

1. Check if the port you are going to use is open and if you are connectable.

http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=<port>

Transfer files without a tracker in utorrent | utorrent1
<port> = Port that you want to use.

2. Go to Preferences -> Advanced and set bt.enable_tracker to true

3. Create the torrent and in the “trackers” field put:
http://your_ip_address:port/announce

Transfer files without a tracker in utorrent | utorrent3

your_ip_address -> your computer’s ip address
port -> µTorrent’s listening port.

4. Enjoy!

    Well you are using a tracker, but that’s uTorrent running on your pc. I had no idea uTorrent could do that! :) Nice…

      Though yes its very useful for transferring to a local swarm, such as a multi network office.
