Download rights taken

I got this message "Until your ratio has been fixed, you will only be allowed to download one file at a time. Make sure you read the Rules/FAQ"

I tried getting a torrent, but it won't even let me download 1 torrent?

You can not download with your download rights taken.  You can only seed or upload.

OK, then you need to change that notice.
It's the banner at the top of the page:

"Your download rights are taken!
To fix your ratio, seed your downloads, upload new files or consider donating
Until your ratio has been fixed, you will only be allowed to download one file at a time. Make sure you read the Rules/FAQ"

That is a bug and it is on a list to be corrected.

I wonder if one could repair their ratio even though they have lost their download rights by downloading FREELEECH torrents?

I have download rights taken and just tried and yup, I am able to download FREELEECH torrents, I assume seeding it will help my ratio.

Yes… When your download rights are taken, you can still download one torrent at a time, however this is limited to only torrents that are on freeleech. I try to go about the site on a daily basis, adding little goodies, and I try to ensure that every niche, fetish, interest, etc is covered. This is not only to help restore the life of torrents, but in some cases, this can even be a means of helping users restore their ratio by making some of the less popular torrents they are seeing a little more popular and visible, as to encourage people to download them.
