Unable to download, "Too many torrents" "Bad Ratio"?
-
I'm not sure why it's saying this for me because I am nowhere near the number of my torrent limit. And my ratio is fantastic. I found a few posts about it, but there's no clear answer. Apparently it was an old system glitch?

@jwjackson10 It looks like you have a number of torrents for which you have not downloaded 100% of ALL the files. When this happens, the system will only register you as leeching the torrent, which makes it count against your maximum number of simultaneous downloads, which is a separate limit from the number of torrents you can download in a day.
To fix this, you need to stop these torrents, then wait for them to time out on the server side to free up the download slot.

@MrMazda I'm having the same issue but my account says I'm download 2 and 0 upload, but my client qbittorent has only 1 torrent stalled. I get the message "Bad ratio: 0.868 (Too many torrents... Your current limit is 8 at the same time..."

@topgymrat I just did an account reset of a sort for your account that should fix this issue, as I don't see anything on your profile that would limit your downloads.

@MrMazda Thank you.

@MrMazda can you do the same for me? I'm on a new computer and it looks like it still including the files i was leeching several days ago on my old computer

Just a quick note that may help anyone with similar problems. Always stop all your torrents BEFORE you close your client. This helps the tracker better understand what is and isn't actually seeding/leeching. That should solve a lot of problems people are having.

@mwild It doesn't look like you're still running into the issue, but I have done the account reset of a sort for you anyway as it can't hurt.
Also, just be aware that when you stop a torrent in your torrent client, it can take up to 45 minutes for the torrent to time out on our end, and until it does, the torrent will still be counted in your total number of active torrents.

MrMazda Thanks. I ended up booting the old one up and stopping everything and shutting down. I appreciate your help.

To add to this tip... Always STOP your torrent(s) before deleting them. This can prevent crashes, errors, locked files, etc.
