I've created and posted a torrent file to p2pElite, but when I try to download it so I can start seeding, qBittorrent just says "stalled". Followed the guide posted in their Uploading forum for creating a torrent (from 2012, but I couldn't find any other info). I've tried pointing the download folder to my source file to try to trick qbittorrent into thinking it downloaded the files already and to start seeding. I've tried loading the torrent file that I created instead of downloading it from p2pelite. I've turned off my VPN and tested my torrenting port to make sure I'm connectable.

Most of the posts on their forum are from nearly a decade ago. And I can't find much doing DDG searches.
Not sure what to do at this point...
