> When I started the download on my laptop via Transmission, the trackers indicated, that there is 1 seeder and 1 leecher. It also indicated, that there are 5 web seeds available, but the download did not start at all.
Dumb idea, but did you actually start the download, or just added it to transmission? I had this problem when I was downloading torrents with transmission when I forgot to hit start.
While testing, I sometimes forgot to connect the laptop to a different network, so my server seeded via the internal network and I could see my laptop's internal IP address in the peer list.
How do web seeds actually work? I actually expect, that the Torrent client will automatically download files from the web server, if there are no "suitable" seeders.
