@allyigator: About an hour ago, my ratio was 0.441, now it's 0.436. Despite me uploading 4 torrents, 2 of which are freeleech. Also, why is it that ever since I've been on this site, I seed torrents that the site claims have tons of leechers, yet I see no upload activity and don't get credited for any? Is it that all of the leechers have been compensated? I am so thoroughly confused. That are torrents with multiple files. A seed can only be a peer who got all files. The torrent protocol knows only seeds and other peers (aka leecher). Therefore peers who have not downloaded all files and seed what they got are still appearing as leecher. In your case, these are the small picture files which were deselected from the download by quite a number of peers.

@trukr: Another thing to pay attention to if you haven't already noticed, torrents only stay freeleech for a given time period. So if you don't complete a freeleech torrent within it's freeleech time duration, you'll get "charged" for the rest of it. The entire torrent isn't freeleech in some cases. Hello, not to hijack the thread, but what is your avatar from?

Vuze/Azureus doesn't like our tracker with scarping support disabled in it's out of box configuration. Read there about better settings > https://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=16166.0

Re-uploading a torrent for a file, for which already exists a torrent will be seen as duplicate upload (with the exception of collections). Our system auto promotes torrents which are announced to be seed and had no download for a long period (understand here some months). We as well clean manually the torrent list from torrents being identified as definitely dead, i.e. neither the members having completed the download nor the original uploader reacting to a reseed request within a week. However, due to low number of staff working on torrents, that cleaning got low priority.

Ah okay,  I knew about how many torrents we could download from but not about the leaching part. I couldn't find any info on it. Thanks

It got removed after the tracker was online again.

@MarkB: I've been well above the minimum requirement throughout the period the ratio was showing in dark red, so it looks like there may be a gremlin in the coding somewhere. What seems to have set the ratio colour back to white is the fact that I passed the 250 GB download mark today (unless that's just a coincidence). That definitely shouldn't occur and likely was a gremlin - perhaps relating to our recent reconfiguration changes.  The system should update the ratio red signal within 10-15 minutes after restoration of the minimum ratio.  Sorry about that!  Glad it reset for you eventually.

@Popper: Would it be clearer for you, if this: … For every hour you have a file (or multiple files) seeding you get .5 points for every hour. ... would be changed to: … You get 0.5 points for every hour you have at least one torrent seeding. ... Or how would you word it better? The second one is better - "You get 0.5 points for every hour you have at least one torrent seeding. …" A more precise alternative would be "You get a 0.5 bonus point for each hour you seed torrents no matter what quantity." (or..."no matter... how many files you seed.") twzzz

Most likely, that "Mountain Men" torrent is a torrent for multiple files and you have selected to download only a 471.1 MB movie from it. Seeder can only be a peer which got all files. Therefore the tracker counts peers having downloaded a part only and seeding it as leecher. This is the same for all trackers I know. Regarding your trail to upload an own new torrent, that sounds as if you try to upload a big movie file to the site. However, you have to upload only the small .torrent file, which you've created upon with your Vuze/Azureus. Note as well, that you have to download then after as well only that small .torrent file (not the movie file), which got your personal secrete passkey inserted. When you add that .torrent to your Vuze/Azureus, you have to set the "download" to the folder (directory) where the movie file from which the torrent was created is. Personally I create always back-up copies of the files I want to seed, just in case something goes wrong.

The statistics listed in your picture are only session based and not cumulative. Cumulative upload/download data is added to your ratio amounts in the upper part of your profile page.

Actually that item displays always zero … first time i am realising that  :afr: The session based values can be seen in the Profile's torrent list, but as Riddler pointed out, they don't show full history.

Thank you. ;D

Looks like you were able to fix your ratio after all –- the key is to keep seeding and over a longer period of time

First you need to find torrents with less than 10 pictures. For this in the list, put the mouse over the titles and the pictures will display with an indication like "Showing n pictures of x", so fi x is below 10, picture(s) can be added. Then, go to the description page by clicking on the title and below the pictures is displayed in white and yellow "Add Screenshots and Covers to make some extra SeedPoints" . Just click on "Add Screenshots and Covers". In the window which opens, click "Browse" and navigate to the picture you want to upload and confirm. Now click the "Upload" button". The picture will not display immediately, it can take 2 minutes.

Unfortunately this concerns all members. Please be patient and try to donate in a few days again.

Ah yeah that's a good point.  I'm brand new to GayTorrent.RU but I already have a pretty healthy ratio already (0.979) with UL: 2.82 GB / DL: 2.88 GB.  That's a good thought, I'll keep that in mind.  Thanks! 

If we're in upbeat mood - my last upload was fully credited  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: And I didn't have to donate anything 

I will not ask how much 'a lot' is…I suspect I tend toward  the insane amount 

@beddj: Hi, so i downloaded a few files and unfortuantly they got deleted, but i would like to get them back, would me re-downloading them effect the download ratio? undelete / restore is impossible to use?
