@nikgl said in Seeding issues (((: Ok, I created a torrent file, then uploaded and filled everything to the Upload page. Then I re-download the recently uploaded torrent file and launch it to start seeding. But the torrent program (Folx) doesn't start checking the folder with files to start seeding. What's the problem? Could you help me please?? So, there are 2 options: The torrent client ALREADY HAS the torrent (some do that when they CREATE the torrent. Because it was already there, and because it's a "private" torrent, the trackers aren't "merged" so only the original (useless) one remains. TO FIX: Delete the torrent (being CAREFUL to NOT DELETE the DATA!) in your client, then re-download from the site The torrent client does not see the files that makeup the torrent in your default download location... you need to tell the torrent client WHERE the file(s) already exist. Otherwise, it thinks this is a new download. TO FIX: Delete the torrent (being CAREFUL to NOT DELETE the DATA!) in your client, then re-download from the site - and point your client to the RIGHT location of where you file(s) actually exist!

@porkish There is a time delay in being credited. Leave it a day, just in case, and if it has not been resolved on its own, contact the helpdesk.

@jaytenison It is possible that you reach your daily minimum [download] limit ...

It is possible that others already owns that existing file that you shared, others rename and replicate [of what you posted] in order to exactly match the files ... This is known as Super-seeding ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding https://wiki.vuze.com/w/Super_Seeding

@yuvynuya you should leave the client setting default alone [it always find a way regardless of torrent client] Speed relies on your bandwidth: If you're the only seeder you'll get 100% transfer rate base on you bandwidth. According to the torrent 151/136 s/l ratio, it doesn't mean that 136 are actual seeding/leeching [most of them are partial seeder w/c means they already grab the files they wanted so they are no longer downloading...This is some form of competing bandwidth and most part of it they already rich the maximum transfer data rate...The only way you can distribute your speed [more chances] if the torrent started 'til 50% while on distribution until completed. Also VPN users affects peers connectivity [not recommended for disabling] w/c affects peers/swarm.

@appolo1970 Same problem here

@nikgl said in Can't upload a torrent made with Folx app on MacOs: @bernd Thanks! That helped. Now it is said that I have to re-download the torrent to make it visible. What do they mean? To re-download what from where? Download the torrent [button] link that you posted and point where your files @... Not the torrent created by your software... Wait 'til someone grab your post until peers/connection will start and leave your client open until fully seeded [unattended post will not visible from others] ...

@prototypa5 As previously said, it's best to break it up into chunks that best suit your upload ability. For most people, I would say no more than 10gb at a time. Also, most users won't download massive files, so you won't get many takers on a 100gb collection in a single download.

@justdon26 All non-porn material must be LGBTQ themed by its main plot and characters or contain a recurring LBGTQ subplot. Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay references are insufficient to meet this requirement. Also acceptable are non-porn films involving voyeurism of the adult male physique. Examples of voyeuristic material include bodybuilding, wrestling and underwear/swimwear. https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php#102

@randy0242 It has now changed to Seeding, but I do not see the torrent listed on GT listing. I am approved for automatic postings. How long does it take for the torrent to show up in GT?

That same issue happen to me also [cannot select category] Try to uninstall and re-install QTM [if same issue occur try the ff step below] So I decided to do a manual upload here >>> https://www.gaytor.rent/upload.php https://www.gaytor.rent/doupload.php make sure to check private when creating a new torrent and copy & paste the url: Tracker >>> http://tracker.gaytor.rent:2710/announce Seeding a Torrent: GETTING THE .TORRENT FILE: You have to re-download the small .torrent file, not the data file(s) (typically the movie file)! The re-downloaded .torrent file will have your personal secret passkey inserted, that allows to identify you to the tracker. Do not use the .torrent file you created in Step 2 - It won't work! https://www.gaytor.rent/uploadguide.php GOODLUCK !!!

This process is also listed in the FAQ help section.

@kirbstmp I should let the experts chime in but basically: 1- You download the 'broken' torrent (yes, I know, bear with me...) 2- Copy the actual file to where the torrent would have downloaded the file/s. 3- Depending on your client you need to 'recalculate/recheck' and since you have the file it should go to 100% and start seeding automatically.
