Torrents not being seeded by http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/

I've just downloaded via bit torrent the d5de047dcca45306305a03a8801430dff26017c6 ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso and the 98c5c361d0be5f2a07ea8fa5052e5aa48097e7f6 ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso images and am presently re-seeding the back into the net, all is working perfectly fine with those torrents.

However, with b0146b3d658d2471c7d4e9e43d32f24431d5a9bf ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc+ps3.iso torrent, I am seeing 7 seeds and one peer, with NO bits being exchanged at all for two days now. Also, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ shows NO data being transferred.

This tells me that something in the system is not working correctly. I know that my connection is fine, I've got local and remote peers on other torrents, and am sharing the 32 and 64bit 9.10 images with no problems.

Are you sharing the PS3 version or not? Thanks for helping me out.

This is the LAST bug report I'm making to Ubuntu. None of the bugs get fixed.
Sorry, I tried to help by reporting bugs, BUT NO ONE FIXES them. I've had bugs opened for YEARS, but nothing ever gets done.

I'm out.

I would think you're barking up the wrong tree. This is likey do to your network provider/connection or some similar issue.
I have been seeding since release day and see traffic fairly regularly. I'm only seeing a half dozen or so users out of the collective pool but I don't think that is any 'ubuntu-related' problem. Thats the way it is sometimes.

I'd think it's possible for the IHT to have had difficulty once in a while but honestly I don't think anyone else is seeing this problem if there was we'd hear a lot more about it, and I'm sure many such as myself are not quite sure what exactly is your issue. Without a clear understanding of what is the problem I don't think many of us can provide a useful answer.

Sorry to see you go, but best wishes. Peace.

A lot of users are seeding Ubuntu so that's not an issue, now I think that
your router/firewall isn't letting in a lot of connections that's why you are
only seeing a few users.

I really, really appreciate some feedback on this one. Here's the situation: See http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ for that specific torrent on the 9.10 ps3 release. No data is being shared. When I downloaded the torrent file, all is fine. I download torrents from EVERYWHERE fine, even the x86 and x64 release at the same ubuntu site.

So, why is the PS3 torrent not being shared out, and why is the http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ site showing no data being sent out? Something is wrong, and it isn't my system, or network access, as I could get the x86 and x64 discs fine.
