 * I just installed wp-trader on a new site and everything installed correctly. 
   Every time I try to upload a torrent I get the error, “Upload Failed: Upload 
   Invalid Filename not torrent!”.
 * I tried several different file types, but every time I get the same message. 
   Any tips?
 * I updated my permalink to day and name, and I’m using the twentyeleven theme 
   and Firefox 9.0.1
 * Thanks

 * which torrent client are you using to make the torrent ie. utorrent, bittorrent,
   transmission etc..? is the file your trying to upload have the name and .torrent
   on the end? you should only get that error if your not uploading a .torrent file
   for example an image file which has a .jpeg or a txt file which has a .txt files
   that like will give you the error you see.

 * Argh! I was trying to upload an .avi file instead of creating a .torrent file.
   Thanks!
 * I’m going to play around with the extension and make sure I can do everything
   else, then I’ll check back with you.
 * Thanks again!

 * Okay, I got the torrent to show up in the ‘Browse Torrents’ option, but I can’t
   connect with anyone. I had a friend attempt to download the torrent, but it wouldn’t
   work. Do I need to add a tracker? (I tried to add one, but it didn’t help). I
   hate to keep drilling you with questions. Are you aware of any torrent tutorials
   that might help?

 * what do you mean an easy to way to fix it? a .torrent file is not an avi or jpeg
   or any other file. a .torrent is that so please do not add the code above because
   it will be useless. tell me which client out there will use your ac3, mpa or 
   flv to download a torrent? i have no problem with people posting here to help
   out but if you do not know anything about how a torrent site works then please
   do not try to help.

 * They did not want a fix to clear the error message they wanted a solution to 
   why they got the error message. By telling people what you told them is not a
   solution. In no way will what you told them work for the problem the person had.
   Uploading torrents does not work that way, the error they got was because they
   did not upload a .torrent file and that is the only extension allowed for that
   upload field. the upload form for uploading torrents is not there to upload any
   file you want to upload. On the upload page you have one upload field for the
   torrent file, one for the nfo file and one for the image file. The torrent field
   only accepts .torrent extension, the nfo only accepts the .nfo extension and 
   the image file accepts as default a few of the image formats but others can be
   added in the options page for it. As for being more human I stand by what I say
   if you do not understand the plugin or its purpose and do not have a solution
   then please do not comment. I have no problem with people helping out but only
   if they understand the problem completely and know how to solve the problem correctly.
