      I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to get by ratio UP!

      I'm new to this group, and the first torrent I selected had just ME and the seeder. That may be why I started out with almost no uploads. There was no one else to upload TO. It was also a very slow file. After 4-5 days, my software was still telling me that I had 4-5 DAYS to go, and it was only a 600 Mg file! Most of the time, my download was less than 1 bit/s. Perhaps the seeder had a very slow connection. I don't know why that file was soooo slow. In any case, since I was the only leecher, I couldn't build my ratio at all, I guess. (??)

      When I realized that it was slow and I wasn't building my uipload ratio, I decided to chose a few files that had LOTS of activity, both with seeders and leechers. I chose two files, but for some reason, my upload still didn't increase very much.

      Then, today, all my downloads stopped, and I got an error message that indicated that I had too many torrents. After all the frustration, I gave up and deleted the torrents and the data files. I decided to just give up on this torrrent group and delete all my torrents. But then I decided to go onto this website and at least try to figure out what to do to fix the problem. However, now, I have no files, no torrent data, and a bad ratio!

      What to do? 😞

        I'm not going to answer your post in the same order you wrote it in.

        Depending on your ratio, you get varying number of active torrents. See link below;

        http://tracker.gaytor.rent/rules.php#96

        Your ratio isn't that bad. It can easily be fixed by some smart downloading.

        Because you deleted everything, I can't see which files you were trying to get and see if they were good or not for you. Anyway, go to the front page and find a Twink, Hunk or Bareback {most popular categories} with only 1 seeder and many leechers, that you like. Any category will do, but the above will give the best results.

        Rarely will your ratio improve while you are downloading, since download speeds are always a lot faster than upload speeds. The key is to upload as much as you can while you download, then seeding after the downloading has finished.

        The reason that the original file was so slow is complicated. Most likely the seeder was seeding several other files as well. This spread out his bandwidth too much.

            Depends on how much you donate. 🙂

              There is a torrent at 99.9%. I have software to view it but since it is not complete-it won't convert over to strict seeding. I am very new to this and need to know what I should do as this is lowering my ratio.

                You don't have to do anything really, just keep the client open and you should gain upload from that torrent too.

                  It doesn't have to be in seed mode for you to get credits. Just sending data to other users is enough.

                  We don't work like Demonoid, where you only get credits after you have finished downloading. This type of system sucks and will never be used here.

                    If you lose your download rights is the only way to get them back to donate? I've tried to upload a new vid but I can't seed it because it's only 99.8% complete apparently… And I've deleted all my others...

                      Something went wrong with the torrent at some point. It shouldn't be 99.8%.

                          If you get past 0.35 in ratio, yes.
                          You are able to download your own uploaded torrents and the ones you've completed.

                              Another question sorry. How can I upload a completed file if I don't have the torrent file anymore? and I can't start the download again because my rights are disabled

                                As I said; you should be able to re-download the torrent-files for the movies that you've already completed.

                                      Hey. I am new here and i understand the that we are only allowed 3 active torrents if our ratio is below a certain level. My ratio is current 0.115, but i cant seem to download anymore stuff from this website. the tractor status says "bad ratio blah blah blah…. your current limit is 3 torrents at the same time"

                                      I have only 3 torrents but only one seems to be working

                                        That's because 1 file is 2 months old and the other is over 5 months old, both have only a few seeders. They tend to take longer to fully seed when they have a bit of age to them.

                                            Yes, you need at least 0.350 or 35% to download.
