@frostycab Port forwarding settings are also a huge factor in how much will upload. If your port forwarding settings are setup properly, so as to forward the port your torrent client uses through your VPN or home router to your PC, both in TCP and UDP, you'll have a much better chance at getting more upload, as users will be able to connect directly to you, rather than falling to the bottom of the pool because you're a passive node.

This is likely because the size of the image is too large to be uploaded, but the server was not providing a clear error message. The message that you get should now be fixed if this is the case. If you run into this, check the size of the image. If the width is greater than about 1600 (or is it 16,000) pixels, the system will automatically reject the image because it is too big. There's an easy fix for this though. Open the image in the image editor of your choice and scale down the size of the image, then save the file.

@Joker Short answer: Success! Longer answer: Didn't quite get how I'd remove the warning, rather than the torrent - which I'd done on numerous occasions. Won't bore you with what I actually did, but... I decided to follow @ianfontinell 's advice, and to upgrade my qBittorrent client beyond the 4.6.3 version available in the Linux repository. I installed 5.2.1 as an AppImage. Once I had this running, I added the "Warning" torrents (deleted from the previous qB instance before upgrading), using freshly downloaded .torrent files found by searching the site "from scratch", rather than clicking previously used links, etc, so that everything was as unencumbered with baggage as possible. Forced recheck and started... no warning. Yay! At the same time, this seems to have resolved another recent - and actually more important - problem. I tweaked my settings, following the announcement about IPv6. I think I set it to "IPv4 only", but I'm not absolutely certain. Anyway, since then - or possibly before, and that's why I tried a tweak - I'd noticed a drop in how much I was uploading. Not a huge amount, but I was watching my ratio slowly dropping. I normally manage to maintain it, or even improve it gradually if I set my mind to it. With this new iteration of qB it now appears to be running at speeds similar to what it used to. Early days, but extremely encouraging! My thanks to you, @Joker, for all your continued help on this. And to you, @ianfontinell, for persisting in your advice to improve my client until it finally got through my thick skull!

@MrMazda @frostycab Closing the loop on this one: the ladybug report was spot on. Pictures added to an already-published torrent and approved later never refreshed the search/grid tile — only the details page showed them. That's fixed since last night, and the ~50 older torrents that were stuck in that state have been repaired as well. New approvals update the tiles right away now. The empty hover-popups from earlier today were a separate, short-lived hiccup right after the fix went out — reloading the page once (as frostycab found) clears it.

@tarrat generally the client will calculate the piece size automatically based on the selected files, to optimize distribution. But if you're failing to hash it, you can try setting a higher piece size manually, like 8 or 16 MB. If it still fails to hash, you can check if your Windows is managing a swap file on its own, if it has a fixed size or if swap file is disabled altogether.

@tigerrawr uTorrent Web may be a part of your problem. The other part I'm seeing is that the 4 torrents that you are currently seeding do not have any leechers actively downloading them. I have put a freeleech on two of these torrents to see if this gets things moving for you.

It may be worth noting that no matter how many torrents you have seeding at a time, and no matter whether anything is uploaded on those torrents or not, you only get 0.5 SBP per hour for having at least one torrent seeding. So you're only going to get 12 SBP per day, unless you either add pictures to existing torrents, vote for categories on your downloaded torrents, or someone gifts you SBP on a torrent you have uploaded.

@DandyLion said: I also run a seedbox on my personal account and have not had any issues. I do recommend what Ianfontinell said and only seed a torrent from ONE of them. I don't know if it would cause issues but I'd rather avoid it instead of finding out Yes... You can use different devices, seedboxes, IP addresses, etc. The key to doing this successfully however is to not seed the same torrent on more than one device, as every time one of your devices refreshes the tracker, the system will register it as a new session, so no data gets logged. So just be aware, it is bad to seed the same torrent on more than one device at the same time. Also, just know that sometimes seedboxes can cause our anti cheat detection to flag your account for review, but do not panic if this happens. Before any actual action is taken against you, an actual human reviews all the data reported, and as long as the data that is being reported is consistent with honest seedbox usage, you will be cleared of any wrong doing.

it fix early this week for the upload error, but I just try to upload again, same error happen, seems need to use the old site link to upload, hope the problem will be fix soon

@cp2000 Not only do copyright holders have accounts here, so they're able to see the forums just the same as other users, but there's another problem still... ANY content published on the internet can be subjected to a subpoena, meaning even if the forum were not visible to the public in any way without a membership, its contents can still be accessed through the legal system. So regardless of whether or not it is private, your point is invalid. Private or not, copyright holders still have any number of ways of accessing the content for their purposes.

@MrMazda It took me ages to work this out, driven mainly by wanting to know why I couldn't snatch torrents with one or two seeders no matter how long I connect to them, and noticing people waiting indefinitely to leech torrents I'm the sole seeder of. I have a feeling it's something not that many people are aware of. I was going to post an explanation, and kinda one-off workaround guide here, until a long discussion with my AI friend taught me that there are a couple of other "must have" factors which complicate things further. For the time being, I've stepped away from the idea, at least until my head is no longer at risk of exploding! Just a thought: Since the ability to port forward is so integral, and there are few VPN providers who allow this, might it be worth the site listing somewhere a few of those that do, perhaps with more in depth "this is the advantage of this one" info? I'm sure some are likely to offer "refer-a-friend" or "associate" type financial rewards, so this might generate a small income stream to help defray the costs of providing and maintaining this site.

Re-Encodes generally do not count as duplicates, unless they are in the same format container and the size difference is less than 10%. If the size difference is greater than 10% and/or the format container of the new upload is different from the original (even if a similar size), then it is NOT considered a duplicate. So if the file exists in say AVI, and you upload in MP4 instead (or vice versa), then it is NOT a duplicate. It is only when the format container is the same AND the size difference is less than 10% that it is a duplicate. The ONLY exception to this is if there is a notable difference between the two versions (such as subtitles built into the video file, or 1080p vs 720p). In these cases however, you need to be clear to label the torrent with its differences so that it does not get zapped as a dupe in error. If the only difference is the subtitles .srt file, but the video is the same, then it is considered a duplicate.

@centexhank This seems strange. This page works for me on both the old site and the new site. What OS and browser are you using?

Sorry, you did say "From My Torrents page", but what link are you clicking? Both the title and "Edit" are links. I think one takes you to the "normal" page view, while the other takes you to where you can edit the torrent, if it's less than a week old.

no problems on my end , downloading and uploading fast

@ddiimmiittar The new version has not yet been released, but this will be done once the new version of QTM drops.

@DandyLion Interesting that I'm not listed as a seeder. As mentioned in my DM, when I paused that torrent, then after waiting a short while, refreshed my browser page, the total number of torrents dropped by one. When I then restarted it, it increased by one. So it appears it's being counted somewhere, just not where you'd expect it to be showing up. What would be more interesting is if the numbers for how many torrents I'm seeding is calculated using the same source data as where you looked at individual seeding. If so, good luck with that!

@ianfontinell Thanks for the suggestion about checking the old site and they are in my seeding list on there despite a discrepancy in the upload amount for the torrent that I kept seeding. Not sure why you suggested that I hadn't downloaded all of the Awais Rajput and Qasim Rizvi torrent as my client clearly shows all the files were downloaded.
