Welcome aboard. 0 kB/s upload usually means your torrent client can't accept incoming connections, so other peers can't reach you to pull data from you. Two things fix it most of the time: make sure your client's listening port is open/forwarded in your router (or turn on UPnP / NAT-PMP in the client settings), and if you're on a VPN, use one that supports port forwarding. Also double-check the client is actually seeding the completed files. Once peers can connect to you, your upload will pick up. Let us know if it's still stuck after that.

Quick update from the team — this is fixed now. Uploading torrents and adding pictures were failing for a few hours because of a technical problem on our side (nothing to do with your torrents or your accounts). It is sorted and everything is back to normal — new uploads are flowing again. Sorry for the disruption, and thanks for the reports, they helped us pin it down fast.

@etalith this tool is not new, it was developed a while ago by a fellow site member but after the recent overhaul that changed the entire site, this tool has also stopped working. Now you need to use the upload page, there's no other way yet. A new app is in development but there's no estimate for release.

Solid one, saving the form as you go so a failed submit doesn't wipe it. Noted, and we're fixing the upload failures that make it sting in the first place.

@rnd256 omg yes me too

@Tomron20 if you add the torrent in qbittorrent and set the download location to where you already have your files, it will start seeding. but if you want to try my program, here's the link: Re-seed Tool for Windows users Read the topic to understand how it works, after the program locates the torrent contents it will ask if you want to start seeding, and adds it to your qbittorrent automatically.

i suggest you to download freeleech stuffs and seed them. many ppl snatch freeleech so it would be easier to get uploads by that. my whole time being here ive uploaded only 2 torrents but deleted 1 since i messed the pictures xD and my ratio is 1.8 and 10k bonus also u will get bonus points when u seed and with those points u can buy upload ratio for urself

@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.
