Successfully getting a torrent fired up on Mininova

So I've created a torrent and put all four trackers from the mininova torrent upload page into it, and uploaded it to mininova.

BUT....there are a couple of things going wrong here.

First, my torrent is only using the first tracker I put into it. (In uTorrent, I seperated them by pressing the Enter key in the trackers field in the create new .torrent window to make it go to the next line where I could paste the next tracker URL.) Other than possibly not entering the rest of the trackers correctly, I don't see why all four aren't being used.

I've given up on trying to use multiple trackers. Instead, I'm just going to use the http://tracker.prq.to/announce one, which seems to be used by a lot of torrents. The third problem still applies though.

Second, Mininova reports that six people have currently downloaded my torrent, but no leechers are connecting to me. I force the tracker to update, but they're still not coming in to me. I guess it's possible that they downloaded the torrent but decided not to run it....but I doubt that.

Third, Mininova also reports that there are not seeders for this torrent, even though I'm seeding it now. I've noticed that some torrents on Mininova have no information because (I guess) the Mininova coding doesn't work with the tracker of those torrents. I've also noticed that a lot of newly submitted torrents report 1 seeder, 0 leechers. But mine says 0 seeders, 0 leechers even though it should read 1 seeder and something like 5 leechers. What gives?

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give me!

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I know that there are a lot of leecher assholes out there that don't bother to at least seed until the ratio is back up to 1.000. And you're right, I need a few other people to help me out with seeding. In fact, there were a few people here on these boards that wanted what I am distributing now, so I'll see if I can't get any of them to do my bidding.

Yeah, Mininova takes forever to get their shit updated. I am downloading something right now that has several peers and two leechers when it still says it has 1 seed, 0 leechers from when it was posted last night!

Also, for the torrent I'm seeding with the tracker mentioned above, it still says 0 seeders, 0 leechers. I made a comment on my torrent page saying that I am seeding it, so hopefully that will coax some more people into downloading it.

I searched around the Mininova boards and found out that they only update their stats four times a day, but sometimes the common trackers are overloaded so they don't get a response back about the seeder/leecher stats. So I guess according to them, it's the tracker's fault. But it sounds to me like the software they use needs to be programmed to wait longer for a response from the trackers. After all, the tracker that I'm using always responds when I force it to update, so I don't see why my stats haven't updated since I uploaded the torrent about 48 hours ago. Since I've uploaded it, I've consistently had about 10-15 leechers.

...But the ones that completed the torrent didn't stick around to seed. You're right, getting stuff well distributed through Mininova is hard.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
