Ok, what does this have to do with anyone?

@ealoria5 said in Viking Will: Viking Will Please repost this in the correct section.

All back to normal now.

@ianfontinell-0 Ok - I'll just sit tight then. Thanks!

@MrMazda Thank you so much! I get that in theory all uploads are to be appreciated, but it's wonderful to hear you confirm that this is one person simply spamming the same crap over and over again as he seems to be doing on multiple[le sites. I do find myself wondering about his motivation though, as his uploads are so small that they carry little to no benefit in terms of upload credit.

Flavaworks sent me one offering to settle and a second one stating they were going to take me to court for not responding. The second one included a case number when I searched the case number I found nothing. But I did find an article about a lawsuit that flavaworks filed against 23 people with the same case number that was in the letter they sent me. But neither my name or username was listed among the 23 names in the article. I also found a connection with a Vondran law claiming they represent people in these suits but they seem fishy to me. I believe Flava is trying to scam money out of former members and using blackmail tactics. If you are worried I would consult an attorney in your area.

@lololulu19 That's the thing I never shared any content of theirs but from what I've seen they are going after former members trying to get anything they can because they are broke.

@MontanaJones because people are lazy.. especially when they are posting their OnlyFans collections of thousands of images and mini-videos. If an uploader can't even take the time to give a file a real name, it is doubtful the content will be any good.

@mancini24 there's never been a "gift feature" like you are imagining, the original post refers to the "say thank you" feature, where you can gift seedbonus to the uploader of a torrent. If you want to gift it to someone in particular you need to know of a torrent uploaded by them

@1844390-0 you're not supposed to share torrent files or magnet links as they contain sensitive data that might compromise your account

@blablarg18 I use PrivateVPN... They support port forwarding of ONE port on ALL servers, and on some, support port forwarding of ALL ports.

@rnd256 Yes. They're very different. Painting takes time, effort and love. Creating AI images is putting keywords together to Frankenstein together something stolen from other artists.

Pardon the obvious question, but are your ports fully forwarded both TCP and UDP? Do torrents show up as green or do they show up as yellow/blue or "firewalled"/"obfuscated", etc? If they're green, then the direct answer to having a ridiculous ratio is... Seedbox: ~$5-8/month for up to 4TB of upload/month from a variety of vendors. (More $$$ = more TB/month. I've seen 120TB/month... keep in mind you actually have to have the demand for that, though. Download the freeleech to that and let it crank 24/7. If you time it right, you can easily get a TB or more per week. Also, if you have any bonus points, it might be worthwhile to make a torrent freelech for a day and let it seed for tens of GB vs trading that for 1GB. The root cause of why you don't seed well with a large number of leechers is quite simple: BT clients were designed in a time when computers were single core and... 512MB of RAM on the high end. They put extremely low limits on how many peers you can have to prevent the computers of the time from being overloaded. Now, you yourself can up those limits, but the 99% of users will only connect to 10, 25, 100 users at most. If there are 300 peers and their client is set to 25 max peers/torrent (or 100 total global connections and they have 15 torrents going, etc.) you only have like a <10% chance they'll even hit you. Because the people who know how to up the peer count do that, they have a much higher chance of catching that incoming request and fulfilling it as well. (i.e. 300 users looking for connection, if you set it to 300, you can serve all incoming requests. If set to 25, your client will reject incoming requests once that 25 is satisfied.) Further, because those 25 active connections might be at 0.02Kbps, it'll reject the gigabit requests coming from people with a fat pipe. And we all know how tragic that is.
