Actually you probably did get it. Looking at your upload/download ratio, it just wouldn't have made a noticeable difference. The most that a 2.5 gig upload credit would give you, might be a 0.001 ratio increase. Ratio: 0.747 Uploaded: 563.88 GB Downloaded: 755.16 GB SeedBonus: 8.500

@JohnEryn: @cannonmc: Sadly, Spacey, seeding 1 or 1000 still gets you only 0.5 points an hour So I was downloading freelech torrents that didn't interest me at all for nothing… I'm gonna keep seeding my own torrents and nothing more from now on. That's a waste. They should give you .5 per torrent. Guess you only have to rely on upload

Fair enough. I think I only tried QTM once. I forget why I abandoned it. I find the manual upload simple enough. So should anyone else, especially after their first time. I think my summary above is a fair description of what to do when you are ready to post

Hi Popper. Just back in and left things running all day. I'd already set ratio to 1000%. It seems its woken back up again, no idea why. Still a bit hit and miss with most not seeding by a couple are on ratios of 2.5 and one is now 6.8 which at least shows things are working. Maybe its just the torrents I've been choosing that no-one else wanted but I've always downloaded the amatuer stuff so still not convinced. Anyway it seems to be improving so thanks for your help and fingers crossed I can get back to at least 1!

Problem solved, thanks a lot!

Thanks for the link cannonmc  and the laugh it provided!  I've come to the conclusion that I'll just keep on doing what I've been doing and hopefully will not get privileges revoked.  At least I can take comfort in the knowledge that my ratio will not go over .800 and I'm confident I can manage to maintain that.  Time will tell…. meanwhile I've decided not to worry about it.  Really do appreciate all the links and advice from the mods and members thought!  :bravo:

@FaptainFitz what cannonmc said. From where you are now with your uploaded torrent, read the re-seed instructions in the FAQ and forums Guides section. The trick is making your torrent client find the files you want to share.

In the lower window part of your µTorrent with the torrent details, under the "Trackers" tab in the line with the tracker announce URL, what does it say in the "Status" column? That gives (us) a first good hint to issues' area.

@Popper: And if you upload your first own torrent, there is the First Time Upload Program to which it might be eligible > https://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=20636.0 (terms and conditions apply) this is a great incentive

@MrMazda: I wouldn't be too overly worried if I were you as long as you maintain your current average. Your share ratio is currently 1.330, and at the VERY most, your required is 0.800 when you hit the highest bracket. As a general rule, as long as you keep your ratio above 1 (such as the 1.040 required for power user status, you should never really need to worry about having too low a ratio, especially if you maintain the ratio as you download more. thanks a lot it really makes sense now!

@amicusets: @cannonmc: Perhaps worth a mention that the roughly 10TB you have uploaded in excess of a ratio of 1.0 are 10TB that other people can't upload. And yes, I am setting a bad example But that would be based on an assumption that the torrents were of a particularly "popular" nature, but on many of my torrents that I seed, there are very few seeders– on of the reasons that I keep seeding them, and at this point in time, the vast majority are older themed movies. (I also use my seedpoints to make movies that I think people would otherwise not try freeleech so as to diversify peoples collections  ) very true indeed

That's true, but there are also Torrents counted, who currently just do not download: All torrents with multiple files, if you have not selected and downloaded all the files. Although the only seeding yet, they are count as leeching. And of course torrents with very slow download rates or even no transmissions also include.

Same problema here, download rights taken and tracker offline , no way to improve my ratio  :cry2:

@Popper: @__beastrouen__ : Do you know what was the solution? I used 4g network to seed before,but now I use 4g with VPN and it works  ;D

To Pawpcorn : In your opinion, my problem is that for whatever reason, I disconnect then reconnect every 3 minutes with a new IP, so my download/upload information cannot be cumulatively sent to .ru tracker, which updates every 30 minutes. Right? I don't know what's happening with that 3 minutes-disconnecting thing. But taking your comment as a hint, I thought some DHCP lease time limit may be the problem. I checked it and it was 3600 sec(1 hour) so I changed it to 10 days, but the problem didn't go away. Also, When I used checkmytorrentip.net and checked if my torrent client IP is changed, it remained same. –-- To cannonmc : Yeah I thought the same too. I thought my IP address won't matter as long as the passkey remains the same. But according to Pawpcorn, that might be not the case. –-- To eastonkellen : If AOL means the some american ISP, I'm not in america. But I think I have to check if my ISP uses proxy servers. Thank you. –-- To Popper : I'm not familiar with technical terms, but when you say VPN or proxy services, do you mean some program/services to hide the user's IP? If so, I don't use neither of them. –-- Somehow, after seeding for more hours, my UL has increased to 628.19MB, but still way below the amount I really uploaded. And my DL still remains 0.00kB even though I did download some non-freeleech torrents. Well, I guess at least there's a hope..? Given that no one is having the same problem as me, I think the problem is definitely my computer or my internet service/connection. I'll keep checking what I can do about it. Thank you guys for so much attention.

No in c) I speak about the passkey in the tracker announce URL, not the username / password combo to log into his account. He can find his tracker announce URL in his Profile, it looks like: http://tracker.gaytor.rent:2710/here_the_passkey/announce or http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/here_the_passkey/announce or https://tracker.gaytor.rent/here_the_passkey/announce where "here_the_passkey" is a long series of numbers and letters. If you edit in your torrent client the tracker announce URL (properties) to have his passkey instead of yours, your upload and dwonload will count towards his account.

Moderators can't reduce the download amount. That would not help much either, because each not freeleech download will increase it again. You underestimate your ability to upload data. Hang on!

Can you arrange for that shit ton of SBP to go my way? Kthanks

The two limits you mention are for two different things. a) The 80 is the number of .torrent files you can get per day b) The 15 is the number of torrents being downloading* at the same moment in your torrent client(s) = torrents of which you got not 100% of ALL files Please verify your current downloading list, if it isn't filled with multiple file torrents of which you choose not to download all files.

@Popper: It depends what you want: fast download > many seeds own upload > many downloading peers Attention to multiple file torrents. Peers appearing as downloading, might just have selected not all files to download and got them. They seed what they've got, without downloading further. They just can't be counted as seeds, because they haven't all files to share. :thankyou:
