I looked at you stats and you've posted ok before, so let figure out what is different with this video. What format is it? DVD? or MPG, MKV, AVI, MP4, TS? I presume you are able to play it ok.

What OS do you use? Some characters valid on Mac and Linux are not allowed on Windows, and I believe the torrent file checker looks for these. Path length should be 240 chars or less (Windows 7 can handle a max of 260 chars).

Is the TTD tracker announce address ok? Should be:

What torrent file creator did you use?
