.dat files are also cd files and can be burned on to a cd with ease.

Just be sure you are using a part file {as mentioned by Foof} vs a cd file.

@SpoogeHog:

Thanks for all the help, now I can concentrate on making my own Torrents. Back to the help. LOL

@mgr:

@SpoogeHog:

" UL/DL: 532.51 MB/7.14 GB Ratio: 0.073 Bonus: 24.0 "

" You have 8 Days left to higher your Ratio before your Download rights get disabled!
To fix that, read the Rules/FAQ or Donate and help us staying alive "

Oha, you did really neglect you ratio, try to do better in future

@SpoogeHog:

Can I improve my ratio by leaving BitTorrent open and seeding but not downloading till my ratio is better balanced,

Yes, you can as long as you have other leechers wich will request uploads from you. If you can't bring your ratio to an acceptable minimum (0.35) your download rights are taken automatically by the system, but even then you can also reseed other videos you have downloaded before. If you don't have the torrents anymore, you are still allowed to redownload those torrents again, you had downloaded before.

@SpoogeHog:

does the warning go away

The warning will be removed, when your ratio reaches 0.35 again or after 10 days (whichever comes first). As said before, in the second case your download rights are taken away too.

@SpoogeHog:

do I have to keep my webpage open to gaytor.rent. In order to maintain a connection for seeding and recieve credit?

Not your webbrowser, but your bittorrent client. That programm will care about your torrent connections.

Interesting

Thanks

You have any more tips to improve ratios?

@repzero:

Thanks

You have any more tips to improve ratios?

There are three ways to improve your Ratio:

1. Seed torrents with a lot of leechers, or torrents with very few or no other seeders.

2. Upload a new torrent , make sure you use "Search" to prevent duplicates, and make sure that you are not seeding or leeching anything else until 3 or 4 others have snatched the complete file. (Read the rules!)

3. The easiest way to improve you ratio is to click on the "Donate" on the top blue stripe. Make a contribution to the site to help defray the hundreds of Euros (dollars) a month it costs to keep this site on the internet.

Hi there.

Joined today - great site!

I've downoaded my first torrent, it was 237MB and downloaded very quickly indeed.

I want to start off on the right foot but the upload rate is bad and therefore not uploading very quickly at all (0.008).

Are there any suggestions for improving this?

Also, do I need to get this upload balanced ratio wise before a 2nd download?

Finally, is there anywhere that the latest uploads are flagged so people needing to improve ratio can go and get seeded?

Thanks
Pete

@lashed:

you can download another torrent that has a high number of "leechers" that way it will upload faster

@lashed:

Also, do I need to get this upload balanced ratio wise before a 2nd download?

nope…..but you must try to get to your "Current minimum ratio" (which you will find on your profile page) as soon as possible or your download rights will be taken away.....

@lashed:

Finally, is there anywhere that the latest uploads are flagged so people needing to improve ratio can go and get seeded?

there isn't a place for that per-say but the latest torrents come at the top of the list on the 'torrent page' when you click the "Browse" or "Search" buttons seen on the blue bar at the top of any page…..
-----> but i should add that the latest torrents will show up according to what you have set the default in your profile....
for example in your profile if you have not chosen 'music' to show up in your search results then it will not show when you go to the "browse" page.....

lashed

Thank you.

I'll get the hang of it - I'm used to Ratio rules, just need to find my feet.

coolio ;D

also take a look at this - Minimum Ratio requirements for a better understanding of the ratio system on this site

I know these may sounds stupid but I really need to ask.

1. How to share or seed a file that I have already finish downloaded? Is it just leave it in BitTorrent client? I use Thunder to download.
2. What is the green pointed up arrow below the blue browser stand for?
3. What is the function of the bonus?

Thanks a lot!

Popper

Dear blackmilk,

1. Yes, keep the torrents running until you have for example reached a ratio of 1.00 (might not always be possible, other will do more instead)

2. The Green arrow Up on GayTorrent.ru indicates how many torrents you have active uploading (seeding), the arrow down how many you have active downloading (leeching).

3. This is a reward for people keeping seeding even having low or no upload rate. You get 0.5 points per hour of seeding and can exchange them against credits of upload to your statistics, i.e. improve your ratio. Click on your bonus on top and you will see.

Best regards
Uwe

Guys Im reallly stuck! Basically my PC was down for a while and I could not fix my ratio and now my download rights are banned. So I could seed but I reformatted my PC to fix it and all my files are gone so I cannot do that! I tried re downloading torrents I downloaded before but it says my download rights are banned!! Does this mean I will never be able to use gaytorrent again :(? Please help!!

aaliass

no, it doesn't mean that

what it means is that you now have 2 options instead of 3

upload a new torrent to the site (run a search and make sure it isn't already here)
donate to the site

Since the most stupid question is the one not asked… I read "The Starter's Guide to GayTorrent.ru" but still have some very very basic ones... so many thanks in advance for your answers!

I have a MacBook with OSX 10.5.7

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places on the site but I cannot find out what exactly I have to do with the torrent files. They are downloaded to the "Downloads" folder on my disk. I leave them there... is that right?

I use "Acquisition" as my torrent client; it puts the movies also in the "Downloads" folder on my disk, from there I convert them to DVD or whatever I want. Then I put the downloaded originals on a backup hd which is not always connected to my Mac. I'm afraid this is wrong but am not sure; should I leave them, with the original filename, on a specific place on my disk?

Now I just learned that Acquisition is not a 'real' torrent-client... with it I cannot upload files. Is Transmission a good one?

@ Layon

Have a look at this thread for which client to use with Mac; http://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=381.0

Until you get more experienced with torrents, it's best to leave them in their original place until they are fully seeded. Also, depending on which client you decide to use, you should be able to tell it where you want to download the files to.

If you want to manually move the videos and keep them available for BTing, you have to tell your client where you moved them to and you must leave them with the same file name. If you no longer need them for BTing, then you can move and rename them, just make sure you remove the torrent file from your client, usually by right clicking the torrent in your client and selecting "remove torrent" or similar wording.

Thanks for your help!

I'll look in the Mac-section for my other questions.
