By all means, poster is responsible for posting faulty material, w/o reviewing first if the files are fine ... No way to retrieve wasted ratio/bandwidth unless write to helpdesk for further consideration ... Files are useless unless it can be replace w/ no issues from the source and to be replace ...

@Shunn-0 [image: 1725939518250-16b7a1f9-202e-43f4-8302-418796316f4a-image.png] only has 1 seeder, you can request mods to make the torrent freeleech and this will make more popular, and hopefully you'll be able to download it soon. Click the second link I sent in my previous message and send the link to the torrent there.

@nikke I checked your user page and see no reason you can't download. You have downloaded enough to know how to do it, so that's not the problem. I am going to have to assume it's some tech issue that's causing it.

My question above was answered in the following post -> link text I have the same situation where I selected only certain files from a torrent, and didn't realise that this would place that torrent in 'leeching' status until removed. You live and learn!

@john32123666 I tried in qbittorrent also, still not solved. The error is Expected value in bencoded string

[image: 1724397805201-0d0dc452-7c4d-4f94-ad58-ecc7ba2a8dfc-image.png] @remixafter-0 go to the main website and check the header, how many torrents it says you're downloading, 2 or 8? If it says 8, before downloading anything you will need to pause your downloaded torrents, I can explain later if you're interested, but pausing them and waiting a few minutes will get you able to download new stuff. If it says you're downloading 2, means you need to upload more before being able to get more stuff.

@tacoyamafan qbittorrent has a cool feature that allows you to create your own tags, so you can keep track of your torrents based on your own criteria. I have a tag made specifically for partial GT.ru torrents. Whenever I select only a few files from a torrent, I add this tag. Whenever I want to download something I can easily pause/resume all the torrents with this tag. Some things to consider is that this pause/resume status can take a few minutes to be updated in the server, so the best thing to avoid being blocked from downloading, it is best to leave a few of those torrents permanently paused.

@MrMazda thanks so much, this worked

@MrMazda The QTM utility needs work. It won't make a valid torrent for uploading a folder, and although it made a valid torrent for uploading a single file, the file is not uploading nor downloading.

@qazssllloooo Thanks! didn't see that - oops

@MrMazda Btw, since you are the moderator, may I ask, the "Announce url" on the profile page, should that or could that ever be accessed by the browser? I do get the same timeout issue there. Thought could maybe narrow down the issue..

@tnar I never consider the port forwarding rules bc I never consider this a "problem" I have utorrent and seeding on all my desktops and laptops its a home network but beyond that I only noticed one machine gets faster service than the others. The others "eventually" get it or able to seed I was just "curious" about the observation.

@trvipo Could you please link the other post? Thank you.

@frostycab thanks for your reply I was thinkin the same thing. I am going to continue to seed it forever bc its on my drive and plenty of folks are "after" it apparently since it was so large they probably started it then it was removed. I don't care in this case of getting credit for it its my give back plus I'm curious to see how high this will go its already almost at the 2tb stage.
