First one, it eventually stopped seeding after I copied the folder being seeded. The second one I could not get a .torrent file. Both in the transmission client
What are you trying to do. Please could you list the steps from beginning to end. Try to make as little assumptions about our knowledge of your problem as possible. If it makes it easier, make a video or a series of screenshots.
So I downloaded several romsets. Compressed into .zip and all stored in a single, uncompressed folder.
I used a random list of 100 ish trackers, most of which were broken. It was a random list https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist I used the “all” section. Placed them in tracker slot. No web seeds
I copied the contents of what I was seeding and extracted a copy of one of the zips.

Downloaded using torrents or directly?

How did you do this?
The torrent broke about a minute after
What specifically do you mean by “broke”? Did you get a popup with an error message? Did your application crash? Did the torrent have a new icon in the application?
I don’t think I can upload media to beehaw
Use peertube or streamable for video, and imgur for pictures. With pictures you can black out any information you deem private.
It just stopped uploading. Nothing happened to client
How many leechers / people downloading it were there?
Do other torrents you downloaded from the web work?
Additionally did you just the trackers to the list or did you also publish your torrent somehow? I know of some trackers that require you to upload the .torrent and provide a description plus more information, otherwise nobody will be able to find it.
Edit: regarding the last point, trackers like the pirate bay allow uploading a torrent file (which is the procedure I knew of), but it seems like that isn’t always necessary with trackers. Many are just indexed by torrent search sites, so your torrent can be found.
Maybe just leave transmission open for a while and check that there actually leechers downloading it. BTW, if you aren’t already, consider a VPN, otherwise anybody will be able to see what you’re torrenting.
There were no leeches, just 2 other android devices. No I didn’t register the torrent. When I download torrents they work. I think its the copying that broke it

It works fine using qbittorrent, at least, for me.
Uhh, so basically I have a list of like 100 trackers being used, I have sub 1kb/s and its not even consistent

We can’t sit beside you and see what’s happening.

The zips were all direct download.
I copied one zip using the copy function in thunar (I think)
Extracted it elsewhere

Its OK though. No longer have any need to seed, pthe people have their own, likely better backups
OK nvm last comment then (unless you want ) to try and get to the bottom of whatever’s going on).
