      Does the system mark you as someone to be notified if you reseeded a file that you didnt originally download from this site?

      i have a few scenes that im reseeding (due to low ratio) but they dont have the snatched banner on them. So if i archive them in vuze, will i still get the emails that someone is requesting a reseed?

        is it a partial reseed? I think it only shows snatched if you show you have the 100% complete release

        I suspect if it does not show snatched that you would not get notifications

        I am currently trying to rebuild a dead release from files from other releases , the annoying thing is the files are exactly the same size but the torrent client shows 1-2MB remaining so it will never complete on the downloaders end.
        I wonder if this is some padding to get the packs/blocks to a certain size etc

          @Lancej If you appear to have fully grabbed a torrent - i.e. progress hits 100% - and you switch to being a seeder not a leecher, then whether you got all, some or none of the files from this site is irrelevant. Once you have the files and you have been noted as a seeder then, yes, you'll be alerted to any reseed requests.

          Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

            @lancej if the system never registered you as a snatcher you won't get re-seed notifications.

            @trueform if you managed to get exact copies of all files and are still missing a couple of MBs, then it's definitely a case of padding files. But if even a single file is missing, that could be it.

              @Lancej Why not simply take a look at the lists at the bottom of your Profile, under "User Details"?

              All the torrents that you are currently seeding are shown under "Show seeding torrents", and those you're still leeching under "Show leeching torrents"..

              523b4945-9c35-457d-8161-057360e57cec-image.jpeg

              The totals of each should be the same as the numbers shown in the middle of the bar at the top of the site:

              b91ae8c6-07a8-4f03-b4d3-29f4588ebcd5-image.jpeg

              Beneath these, is "Show completed torrents". When you stop seeding a torrent that has fully completed - e.g. you pause it, or delete the torrent from your client - that torrent will move from "Seeding" to "Completed". If the torrent you're interested in is in either "Seeding" or "Completed", you should get notified of any reseed request. If it's still in "leeching", or not shown at all, you won't be.

              Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

                @trueform yes im having the same issue. some will only go to 99% and stop. I just gave up on them and went to reseeding something else in my collection. Im mainly reseeding whole files. It will still reseed if its a partial right?

                  thank you. this is what i was needing to know. I plan to start archiving torrents to make it easier to restore instead of trying to find a deleted torrent online form 10 years ago.

                      yea i forgot all about the completed section. I just wanted to make sure because i will start archiving instead of deleting the torrents to make them easier to reseed.

                        Getting notified of a reseed request, and getting a reseeded torrent back to 100% progress at your end are two different things.

                        So long as at some point you've registered as a seeder (see comment above about which list the torrent is on) then you'll be notified. Once you're on the seeder list, you're on it, even if you can't quite seed everything.

                        But you don't have to have downloaded every file in a torrent to actually seed it. I've got a recent one where I only downloaded one file of three - I've now uploaded about six times what I downloaded.

                        If you're returning to a torrent, rather than leeching it initially, one possible cause of the 99.8% issue is that - in my qBittorrent at least - I sometimes get a "torrent complete" notification before it actually is. If I look at my download speed, there's often a time when it says "100% progress" but it''s still showing a falling speed before it finally registers as zero. The difference is nowhere near enough to interfere with a file's playability, so likely wouldn't be noticed... until you try to reseed. Then, the fact you've really only downloaded 1.86gb instead of 1.87gb will make a difference.

                        Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.
