Summary: Just setup web server as bittorrent tracker and all seems
fine except clients hang at the "connecting to peers" message.

Detail: Setup Torrent Trader (www.torrenttrader.com) on our server,
presumably properly but probably not I guess.

Can upload a .torrent file properly to the tracker, seeding gives no
error message, the torrent trader info page indicates 1 seeder and 2
leechers (seeder
+ another computer) however the other machine's ABC gets stuck on
"connecting to peers". (tried another BT client, same problem)

The required announce url was changed to
www.mywebsite.net/torrent/announce.php instead of
www.mywebsite.net/announce.php which is the default since didn't
want/couldn't have that at the root.
Could it be causing the issue? If not, what is? How do we fix the problem?

I know the seeding machine can seed fine, was seeding files from other
trackers for past 2 weeks. And the machine used to d/l works fine too,
can download other torrents fine.
Appache server running Php and Mysql, using ABC as BT client.
Thanks!!
