Once you have completed your download your torrent client should show that the file is now seeding. Just leave the program running and it will automatically seed (if anyone needs that file). As for finding your download, you don't need to to seed but you will to watch it. It will be in the download folder that is listed in your torrent program options/preferences. If you use uTorrent you can find the folder by right-clicking the entry and choosing 'open folder'

If by "upload" you mean if you add a new torrent to the tracker, then the answer is no, technically. Uploaders are anonymous in the listings. Your IP would still be visible in the swarm, however, just as with any other torrent download/upload or even on the internet in general. Assuming you haven't taken measures to protect it, of course.

You can use the 'Sort BY…' button at the left side. It has a Leechers option

There  are two things to consider: a) Your torrent client "knows" in real time what it downloaded / uploaded. However the tracker is updated by your client (usually) only in 30 minutes intervals by your client. Each torrent running on its own interval schedule. So up to 30 minutes up-/download can be different. b) IP hopping between updates by your client will result in loss of tracking that intervals upload. c) There is no place at GayTorrent.ru where you can see the total of upload / download per torrent like you see it in the client. What you see per torrent is the last uninterrupted connection session. Any interruption will reset to zero. It are life data from the tracker, not total accumulated history. d) You can only compare the grand total upload and download of your client with the sum of all GayTorrent.ru torrents in in your client, if you kept them all in. Or you can compare the delta of those indications over a period (but need to consider mention a) and b)  for possible differences.

You don't give a lot of information. Are you pointing to the exact file that you made the torrent from. What message are you getting from transmission? It's difficult to know what you might be doing wrong when you don't describe exactly what you are doing.

Let's try again. I wrote a reply last night and at the exact point I posted it the site went down…was it my fault? Creating a torrent is easy, most torrent clients have a 'Create torrent'. Using them is more difficult. All torrents need a tracker URL somewhere. Either you enter one when you create a torrent or the tracker site inserts its own when the posted torrent is downloaded for seeding. If you don't post your torrent to a tracker site it will have no tracker URL. The torrent file not only tells which files you want to share but where on the network those files can be found using a tracker. No tracker, no sharing. However uTorrent has a built-in private tracker function Creating a private torrent - I have never tried it and it looks like a lot of messing and there are pitfalls. NOTE: the tutorial uses an old version of uTorrent, I do not know if it still works. There are other ways of sharing your files using such sites as Dropbox or Google Cloud - unless you can post smaller amounts of data you may have to use a premium service. Have a look at Gigatribe You could try sending your files via Skype, I have seen no size restriction there but I suspect it would be slow. You could burn your files to blank DVDs but you would end up with a lot of them. Or if you are a real masochist, you could split your files and send them via email…in 10MB lumps (the max size most ISPs allow for attachments. Hope that is some help

Yes started. I had a file the other night that had sat doing nothing for a month or two and suddenly somebody wanted to grab it, I got a GB of credit for being there at the time. Yup seems like my torrent is acting normally just didn't leave it there long enough, a few days in my case.. Thanks everyone!

You can if your heart so desires, but it's not required.

The official answer to this question is it really does NOT matter what you put in the tracker of a torrent when you create the .torrent file. Once you upload that .torrent file, the system will over-write any tracker information that you have supplied with the proper tracker for your individual account, containing your personal secret passkey. This is why you must redownload the .torrent file from the site to seed your torrent after uploading it.

Seeding from multiple IP addresses is not a problem. This has not and will not affect your account in any way. The only rule is that you cannot use more than one account on any individual IP address. So… As long as you're only using one account with these IP addresses, there is no problem.

@oliverqueen3: I can't find anything to tell me what it should be. I did a speed test on Internet - Up: 11.27 I'm using Utorrent  1.8.7 Although designed for Azureus, this calculator uses the same settings layout as μTorrent does and suggests what to enter based on your upload speed.

Thank you very much for this older entry.  I strongly believe in "RTFM" and routinely search the forum for solutions to my usage questions. I had a torrent (XTube.CAM4.GAY.AMAT.MEGABK.1.Ch.28S.-.BERLIN.MUSCLE.BUTT.JOCK.RAW.FUCK.CRUISERS) in FINISHED state when I saw during a routine search that it was "recycled".  When I started it, it would just so go to "QUEUED SEED".  Since the number of active torrents (6) was less than my queue limit of 10, I started trying to get it to seed, especially since I could see from the search page that there were already a dozen leeching on it with only 3 seeds active. I originally googled for articles dealing with progressing from queued seed to seeding states and after over an hour of reading not very helpful (and sometimes sanctimonious) replies to similar questions, I switched to searching GTru's forum.  Duh on my part. Within a couple of minutes, I had useful information and performed the Force Start and immediately got results. I joined the seed pool and now there are 4 seeds helping the 19 peers get their copy of the torrent. youngla  :cheers:

The last torrent that the site shows that you uploaded was uploaded over a month ago. What I suspect that you're seeing is the session total that the site displays, which will only show the upload amount of the current session. Any time the torrent is stopped and started again, this session total will reset as the totals have already been added to your grand total counts. The values that you see in your torrent client on the other hand are the grand total that you have transferred in all sessions since the torrent was added to your torrent client. Also, the totals in your torrent client also reflect the total amount transferred including network overhead traffic. For this reason, there may be a slight difference between the grand total in your torrent client and the grand total reflected on the tracker.

thank you for the advice! i will share as much of my collection as possible! luckily i have a lot of webcam stuff so i should be ok with most copyright problems!

Having checked with a Mac-owning friend, there are no special steps to uploading with a Mac. All you need is a torrent client (for example Vuze or uTorrent) to create the torrent file. Then gather at least one decent picture and some information about your file. Do a thorough search to check you are not posting a duplicate file. To upload, click on Upload button at the top of this page, then click Upload Page. Then you just need to follow the steps on that page. So you choose at least one category from the drop down box when you click the down arrow (you can choose more now or later). Then the rest of the steps appear: Choose Pic(s). From your hard disk upload at least one decent picture. If you upload 10, others won't be able to add. And remember the pictures will appear in reverse order so that the last one you post will appear first on your torrent page. So if you want the front cover to appear as the first picture, upload it last. Torrent Name This is the title that will appear at the top of the page. There is an ongoing discussion about how specific this should be (eg studio names) but try and make it something that will show up in a search for this movie. NFO and URL You can probably ignore these until you are more familiar with the process. Description Here is where you should describe what the torrent is all about. Technical details are not necessary but I like to include the cast and a brief description of the plot. If you are posting a collection this is also where you list the files (perhaps easier after you have uploaded because you can just copy/paste the list of files as posted) Torrent File This is where you choose the torrent file you created earlier. Then you DO IT. This will upload everything to the site but the torrent will not yet be visible. Now is a good time to see if you have made any mistakes because you can still edit or even delete at this stage. DOWNLOAD YOUR OWN TORRENT, yes, the one you have just uploaded because that will then contain the information for the tracker to seed. Now open that torrent (make sure you don't use your original torrent) in your torrent client as you would any other and, when asked where to save, point to the exact file (or folder if you are being bold but start simple, I say) that you made the torrent from. Just to add it may say it will overwrite the file - it won't but if you feel nervous make a copy of the file and save elsewhere. Your torrent client will Check the file (if it does anything else you are not using the correct file). Once it has checked it will start seeding. It may take a few minutes for your file to become visible. Once the Type (category) line appears, you are seeding and you can sit back and wait for the dozens of thank yous and hundreds of bonus points to shower down… dream on. If this is your very first upload then check out the First Time Uploader banner, usually on the front page of the Search pages and claim an extra 600 points! Now you can sit back, sip your wine and choose your next share. Good luck

A good app to find duplicate files is CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner It does lots more besides but has a very handy file finder tool giving a lot of options. I'm not sure I understand what you want to do with the torrents.

I had no illusions that we could get every take down listed (although I'm feel the automatic messages sent to uploaders could be copied to a thread). But any information is more than we get now

I just thought I'd add that when a duplicate torrent is removed, it is removed differently than it is for other types of removal. It is pulled from the public view, but is kept active on the tracker until all active peers have finished downloading its content. Removing a torrent for a duplicate does not prevent anyone's successful completion of the download.

As a general rule,  alittle bit of patience will go a long way…. See, your torrent client will only update your totals with the tracker once every 30 minutes. For this reason, you may notice a delay in the amount of data that has been transferred compared to the amount of data that the tracker shows.
