Here's something that I haven't been able to figure out: I belong to one site that logs your IP when you sign in, so then as long as your torrent client is connecting from the same IP, it's allowed through. Since torrentflux' server IP is different from my home IP (from which I login to the site) I keep getting a timeout error. Any thoughts on how to overcome this issue? Hi,

Simply FTP your files to your seedbox (upload the entire directory). Go into the "Directory" menu item at the top - you should now see the folder that you uploaded.

Also, click the "YES" button for 'Private Torrent'. This will take some time to complete, depending on the size. When completed, the torrent will show in your list in the main TorrentFlux window, and a download link will be provided.
