      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

                      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:

                              Pleased thank everyone for the time they take to upload torrents for our benefit and Have a great day!!!!!

                                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)

                                Pleased thank everyone for the time they take to upload torrents for our benefit and Have a great day!!!!!

                                  Hey, I'm having some problems with the site and utorrent…

                                  I have uploaded a bunch of videos and seeding some that I downloaded.

                                  Very often the tracker says: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted"

                                  What can I do? I have randomizing port set on but i'm thinking of changing it.

                                  Also I'm bit of fed up of utorrent and thinking of getting qbittorrent 🙂

                                    I'd really like this functionality, as well. I often decide a new download based on your front page "most popular" list, or sometimes see direct link to torrents from the forums as recommendations.

                                    I've been a member in good standing for many year (not a "newbie" by any means), and my ratio's in a down period right now … so I'm in payback mode. I don't want to commit to any big downloads at the moment, I just want to seed what I have as best I can and upload.

                                    I hate to completely lose track of something I stumbled across, though. Sometimes, I have difficulty even finding the torrent I'm looking at going through the search function. The button on the actual torrent page would be very helpful.  🙂

                                      Sooo… Here's the thing, I had to format my computer. Now, I do not have any files to "seed" (sorry, I'm new to torrent-ing). What do i do?  :cry2:
                                      PS. I just found out about the forums now.

                                        Now, I have the knowledge of what freeleeches are. So I'm fine.

                                          And try to keep your downloaded torrents seeding even after you have completed the download. And start gently. 🙂

                                            My upload speed is non-existent. How?!

                                            Edit: So I'm seeding torrents with more seeders than leechers.
