        Dont worry, I am having the exact same problem.  I've had no problem seeding torrents to other sites before, however through this site, I am not able to actively seed.  Im able to download torrents fine, but most of my torrents sit at under 25% ratio when seeding.  Ive downloaded both new and freeleach torrents.  I am not sure as to why I am having issues either, especially with a 10mbps upload speed (I have upoaded/seeded other torrents 1.1MB/s)

          The 5 torrents you are seeding have many seeders and few or zero leechers and have been snatched many times.    More supply than demand, that is why you do not see much upload.

          To view your torrents and to see the leechers and seeders , just click on your “Username”  in the blue bar at the top pf any GT.ru  page.  Then scroll down until you see, leaching, seeding, uploaded.  You will have to expand those (click).  Which you then should see how many leechers and seeders any torrent has.

            My only advice to add to this thread is to seed everything that you download.  We all download what we like and are interested in.  For some, that may be very obscure, non-mainstream stuff.  If that is all you ever download, then I suggest you download some random freeleech torrents as well, just to give you some items that may also help you get some seeding in.  Seed all torrents until a torrent reaches a point where it has not been leeched from you in X number of days (You decide X.)  For me, if a torrent has not been leeched from me in 5 days, I remove it from my seeding torrent list.  If you use uTorrent, you can scroll across to the right and see the date you completed downloading the torrent, and a column or so later is the last active column.  When something reaches 5 days in the last active column, I remove it.  Hope this helps.

            Have you serviced your Dom today?

              Another way of improving your ratio is to find a popular new upload of a large archive and only download one or two files (marking them "high priority might help"), so you may be one of the few 100% seeders for a while. I've uploaded surprising amounts by doing that. Because of the way multiple files are divided into "blocks," your torrent client will set aside drive space for adjacent files that you haven't selected, but they won't actually download and you can just delete them when you're done.

                Hi,
                This may seem like a stupid question… but I guess I am having trouble with the "connectable" part of the above recommendations...
                I can download torrents just fine from gaytor.rent, and I leave them sitting in utorrent, ready to seed, seemingly forever.. but none of them do anything.  I don't know if I am using the wrong settings or what.  I download from other torrent sites and can seed just fine with them.. and I would love to be a good seeder at gaytorrent, but I just can't get any of my torrents to seed.  Please help.. thank you very much.

                I have the same problem!! I use Transmission app on a mac.
                No one could explain me why?

                  As mentioned in some of the posts above, it is likely that it has nothing to do with your torrent client, nothing to do with your settings, nothing to do with the tracker, nothing to do with this site. It's just that everyone who wants some of the post has got their fill. There are no people wanting to download right now.

                  If you have enough torrent slots, just leave your torrents seeding. I had one that was picked up yesterday, two weeks after I'd finished a reseed.

                  If you need a slot to download or seed a new torrent, pause one of your other torrents. Start it again if it seems a better ratio booster.

                  Checkout your torrent history and choose ones which have leechers. Otherwise just let things run while you get on with other stuff. You might be surprised how you ratio increases while you are not looking 🙂

                    :thankyou:

                    This was such a big help when I started out.  I use this often when other comment on problems at the beginning.  It is true always read first then act.  Thanks so much

                    Remember me with smiles and laughter
                    For that's how I will remember you all
                    For if you can only remember with tears
                    Then please don't remember me at all.

                          Have a look at this page https://www.gaytor.rent/upload.php

                          Then read through this https://www.gaytor.rent/faq.php#29

                          The only quibble there is you can put anything as the Tracker URL when you create your initial torrent as the site will insert the correct details when you come to download your own torrent.

                          If you follow the steps on the manual Upload page you can't go far wrong as long as you remember to download your own uploaded torrent to open it and start seeding

                            This thread should always appear on home post because GT.ru will have newbie(s) asking questions about this,

                                  Someone have maybe already ask but a "add to wishlist" button into the torrent page would be nice. It'd be a confort button but who don't like confort ?  ;D

                                    The function "Wish List" (extreme right) in every torrent is the "button", just click it and when it turns Yellow, it means that the torrent is added to your wish list.

                                      I think Alexander meant a button on each individual torrent page rather than alongside the entry on the Search list.

                                      And it has been requested before.

                                          I would like to add my vote for this to be done as well and it shouldn't be that hard to do.  The code is already written for this function and it should be relatively easy to do.  Sorry if it creates additional work for the mods but it is something that will make things easier for all the members to use and will benefit the site as well!  :hmmm:  :thx:

                                            I could be wrong but on Freeleech torrents there is no effect on your ratio unless you choose a freeleech that is huge and has very few seeders, but if your downloading a 10GB torrent with only 1 or 2 seeders then you better hope it's Freeleech for well over 48 hours or it will affect your ratio. Also by the way it is shown (# of seeders) on each torrent page and if there is less than 5 seeders  you will need the 48hrs or more to be able to download it during that time.  (and keep in mind they may be shown as being seeders but you can see in your torrent program that a number of these so called seeders are only uploading at 0.3kb which tells me it's just a way to gain points for seeding - Personal opinion).  You will of course receive 2 seed points for voting on category after the torrent is downloaded so that will help your ratio.  You can do that while your thanking the member for their torrent (hint hint)
