@galwaybiguy Keep in mind that you're not downloading from or through this site itself. While you download a "tiny" little torrent file from gaytorrents.ru, you're actually getting the contents (or bits of content) from the seeders DIRECTLY. That's the whole point of the torrent technology: no one source, no one person's upload limit to slow you down. (e.g.: 1 seeder on dial-up at 56kbps gets supplemented by 10 seeders on dial-up at 56kbps equaling up to 560kbps - on dial-up! Now consider that many people have service with 2Mbps, or like me, 25Mbps, and apply the multiplier... and zoom!!) Still, the path from their content to your system does not go through the tracker. The software endpoints (the seeder and you, the leecher) report back to the tracker about how much you've downloaded (or uploaded). Something to keep in mind: my ISP regularly sees huge amounts of content coming and going from my IP address on my "torrent port" and they will throttle that port. (It's in the agreement you "signed" when you got your high-speed connection). My fix for that is to change my port weekly. It's rather simple: Look in your torrent client settings, change the port, then (if you ever even had it open) login to you router and change the port forward you put in there for your torrent seeding.

@gayfotoman: My uploads seem extremely slow. Maybe I just haven't had the torrent that many people want to upload. UL Speed 32.72 kB (Ø 21.61 kB with 26 measurements) DL Speed 170.53 kB It depends on your bandwidth and multiple torrents running… the higher bandwidth the lesser torrent the higher speed you get... low bandwidth w/ multiple torrent running... speed will be divided in each distribution... Focus in one torrent @ a time when there are bunch of leechers and prevent downloading files when seeding is active to avoid speed slowness...

This problem is related to certain browser extensions, namely, download managers. Some download mangers (particularly video downloaders) seem to break the ability to download torrents. All you need to do is disable these extensions and refresh the page, and you will be able to download torrents again.

Just wanted to post an update. I updated to Qbittorent 4.3.0.1 and I don't have the issues anymore. I'm on Windows 7 still though, so that might make a difference. Also, always using a VPN of course. The only tracker that I ever had an issue with it to begin with was here so I'm not sure how it was fixed.

Never mind, it seems to be a Firefox issue

Way cool! Glad it was not just me having problems with Firefox. Still like the browser, but it has been a bit quirky.

@greenbeans: I have this same problem however I do not partially download torrents so that cannot be the cause. Are there any other reasons that this may happen? If you were recently downloading torrents, there may be a delay in the data updating. Make sure you have not partially downloaded any torrents, though.  If a torrent is a folder with a video file and some photos, and you don't download the photos to make the torrent 100% complete, it will take up a download slot even though you aren't trying to download the rest.

@Daisuke69: I was wondering, if lets say I download 1 file that is 1 GB from a collection with a total size  of 10 GB, does that count as only 1 GB downloaded towards my ratio or 10 gb still? Just what you actually download, 1 GB.

I'm having a similar problem for the last few days including today (26 May 2020). First I tried to reseed a couple of requests. Nothing moved, nor were they showing on my seeding. I then tried, this morning, to download a file and nothing moved. I tried a few times to delete the torrent and then reload - no different. Gave up. Any reason you can think of as I've had no problems since I began using the site many years ago?

There're several reasons why you can't download a file: 1. The amount of leeches is proportionally greater to the seeds. 2. Your downloads are greater than your uploads (it doesn't meet the minimum ratio according to the amount downloaded). More infomation. if it isn't one of the above, check the configuration of your torrent client. I recommend to upload and download uTorrent. @Bkboy251: Hey guys Im kind new here, So I download the torrent file that I want then I have to find a place get these files. I use webtor site and Utorrent which works for some torrent files but there are a lot that don't work because there are no Peers. Can anyone recommend a site I can use? Thanks

Thx for the info!

Same issue, could you also reset my account?

I have exactly the same problem…

Im having this issue too, some downloads work some dont in the same session. I use BitTorrent and have for a number of years on the same ISP with no issues till recently. The BitTorrent logger says Quote: Failed to post GUI update message: Not enough quota is available to process this command. The logger gives exactly the same message on the three that wont start

It was never snatched which means no one ever downloaded it so no-one has the files to reseed.. except maybe the original uploader who is listed as anonymous. [image: 1781654121098-9506afde3595.jpg]

With my uTorrent, I check to see if Force Re-check (or similar) is active, and run that.  If it works, once completed, you may still need to hit Start on each torrent to make it available for uploading.  Good luck!

I am having the same issue. Firefox is my browser of choice and that is where I am having the problems or so it would appear. I have tried downloading using Microsoft Edge and it worked just fine. Gaytorrents.ru doesn't seem to be firefox friendly anymore.  :cry2:
