Maybe you are seeding on another tracker? Check the Trackers tab in uTorrent.

EDIT: Also keep in mind that the listing at /torrents/ is based on cached data. So the seeders / leechers stats can be from 10 minutes ago.

the tracker thing should be the trick. I just clicked on "download torrent" and BitTorrent asks me to download the tracker - and the orphan disppears from the list

this option is a great help to avoid some people's downloads getting stuck somewhere before being finished.

Yeah its a must have feature. Honestly I didnt think of it till u2search mentioned it. Luckily it was easy to add technically.

Our U2Start Torrent Tracking software continues to improve

I know that our torrent section is relatively small. But I'm still proud of what Remy and I made. We are most certainly the only (u2) fan site that build their own torrent software.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and let me or Remy know if you are missing any other features!

The response to check/uncheck a filter is very fast, that is very well done.

One more possible feature could be (also orphans related): a reseed request button/link to send a seed request to previous downloaders. But this would need some filtering, otherwise it will be abused very quickly. Hopefully enough people will use the orphans filter that this is not even needed.

I have a really weird problem. I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to solve it and I can't find the problem with it.

I just uploaded 1989-09-23 - Perth torrent and I go to check it and it stops at 96.7%. I go to the 'Files' section in uTorrent and it says that each song is about 97% complete.
The file says it's 557 MB and on the torrent section, it says it's 557 MB too.

Would there be any reason to why this isn't working?

Did you change the ID3 tags after torrenting? Otherwise just try again is the only reasonable answer i can produce

Thanks for your compliment

We already have a reseed request link on each torrent detail page. Think it only sends to known seeders now though.

Nope, I haven't even touched them. This is really weird.

Also, Reggio Emilia is refusing to check. It checks up to 100%, but the little bar to the left stays at 0.0%.

What a way to top off a bad day!

It's okay, now seeding them from BitTorrent instead.
