Uploads not being credited, mods not responding

AMPTWO

@MrMazda Thank you.
It has said "9.48 GB (The amount you have to seed to reach the current minimum Ratio)" for over a week now.

Meanwhile, I now have 3 new torrents up, and have uploaded about 158GB in the last week.

I have sent a message to Kalayaan as per below. Hopefully that will help

AMPTWO

@kalayaan it appears you did give me the 600 bonus points, but the seeding I have been doing on three torrents for two weeks now has NOT shown up at all.
How can I address this, please? There's clearly something wrong with the platform if it is showing seeding, but is not crediting it.

AMPTWO

@MrMazda Since you are a Global Moderator, hoping you can help.

I've looked at the Download Buffer and Amount To Seed as you suggested.
Neither of them have anything to do with the fact that since October 21, the amount did not move from .796 until today when I applied the 600 seed points that Kalayaan gave.

Since October 21, I have uploaded three torrents, and am seeding on two different computers, with a current upload total of 170GB.

4 days ago, when you responded, I was at .796 percent and - as YOU noted - I had less than 10GB to go.

On October 21st, I was at .796 percent and only needed 10GB
It was the same five days ago when I had uploaded 113GB (and only needed 10GB)
It was the same two days ago when I had uploaded 158GB (and only needed 10GB)
It was the same 30 minutes ago when I had uploaded 170GB (and only needed 10GB)

Clearly, there is something wrong.

MrMazda

@AMPTWO Just a funny question... Are you by chance using a proxy service with your torrent client? This is the kind of thing that can happen with the use of a proxy service instead of a full VPN.

AMPTWO

@MrMazda not to my knowledge, I have a VPN, but only use it at specific times and the rest of the time it is off.

I upload with Transmission and qBitTorrent.

I have sent you a private chat.
The problem has gotten significantly worse.

You're bringing pertinent information regarding to your uploading history in the past days, but you're missing the downloading stats. I don't know if you're tracking it as vigorously, but it's the other half of the equation.

If you are able to download and seed that means there's nothing wrong with your torrent client or firewall settings. Also, if your torrents are seeding that means your connection is not being blocked by the anti-ddos system.

After your ratio fall bellow .800 you still have a gracetime of 45 days, you can still download freely in that period, so I assume you're doing that.

You also mentioned you use two computers to download/seed so I hope you are properly copying files from one PC to another to avoid having torrent files downloaded twice.

AMPTWO

@ianfontinell Yes, I am tracking it. I have downloaded files, but not nearly what I've uploaded.

The stats I provided to the mods are more complete, and they show that the torrents I've uploaded in the last several weeks have exceeded 300GB (including a file that was removed after a week of seeding due to a takedown request). My downloads, meanwhile, have been about 10-20GB.

When I'm not getting ANY credit for the 300GB, but am getting debited for the 10-20GB, there is something wrong.

One of the mods is looking into this for me, but it is frustrating that this is happening. And if it's happening to me, it's happening to others.

@AMPTWO I'm suddenly having the same issue. Have had a Tb of uploads credited over last couple months but last few days suddenly the torrents I've uploaded look like they're not fully accounted for... maybe 10% of what I've UL, like 2Gb show whereas it should be 20-30Gb

MrMazda

@vanman It is also important to note the difference between your total upload stats and the session upload stats. The stats against a seeding torrent in your profile will only show the amount of data that has been transmitted for the current session, whereas your torrent client often shows the total amount transmitted since the torrent was added to your torrent client.

As well, there's the issue of the tracker updates themselves. Your torrent client will only update with the tracker once every 30 minutes for each torrent. For this reason, there is a delay in the stats being updated, as they are not updated in realtime like your torrent client will update them.

vanman

@MrMazda to be honest at this point I don't even think I'm going to worry about it. I see this site dying a slow death. Almost every torrent of content I upload gets removed within hours. So guess this will all just become a waste of time.
