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.

I created a torrent using Vuze, uploaded it, redownloaded it as instructed, and it started seeding according to the website. Then about an hour later it was listed as dead on the website and on my vuze programme its listed as queued. I tried redoing the whole process again and the same thing happened. I cant see what I am doing wrong, I have even stopped all the other transfers I have going. Can you help?

Depends on limits set in your Vuze the torrents will queue when you have several torrents running at the same time.

Try stopping other torrents and see if it starts seeding again.

Popper

From a post in the Support / Guides and HowTo's section of the forum the setting which should be used:

Tools > Options > Queue -> Seeding > First Priority > A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers

and

Tools > Options > Queue > Seeding > Ignore Rules > uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers

trukr

From what I remember when I used Vuze it's normal for the torrent to sit there as "queued" until a leecher connects, then it will go active.

Popper

If our tracker would have the scrape support enabled…

Above is from your post on the "Scarpe error" in Vuze/Azureus and helps to start torrents without leecher, which is needed for uploading own new torrents, because these have no leecher until after approval.

The µTorrent/BitTorrent does that with the "out of box" settings and though queued torrents have the scarpe error, too, it is just displayed less prominent and therefore does confus less users.

trukr

From what I remember :), uploading with Vuze :), initial seeding uploads started out as seeding but queued and greyed out until a leecher came along, but it worked fine even without those settings. $:-\$

Hi, I'm getting a message on all my torrents from gaytor.rent saying that "scrape is not supported" or "Failure: Unregistered Torrent". This has not happened to me before so I'm a bit baffled at why it is happening now. I believe it occurred sometime this morning while I was at school. I know that these torrents have not been deleted from the server because even new torrents that I've downloaded give the same message. I've been diligently uploading while downloading, so I'm not sure if I was kicked off the server or whatnot. Please help and thanks in advance for your response.

We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. http://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=11178.0

With "seeding" and "leeching" and "ratios", things are now clarified. I asked fellow porn-lovers at work
how torrents worked and either they didn't know or found fault with the whole set-up(s). About
"passkeys" I am still vague. The business about downloading a .torrent file first and then a full (e.g.)
.avi file is completely out of my ken. (Yes, I know what the difference is between the two. But when
I click on "download" after a file search, I am getting the full file, am I not?

I followed advice and downloaded utorrent as my torrent client, but found no way to actually utilize it;
my regular download manager took over without the option to use utorrent instead. I canceled the pop-up
window from the download manager but it reverted to my own computer; the "Open with" option did not
contain utorrent as an available choice. I tried dragging the upload link to the utorrent icon and what it
downloaded was the title of the file.

Well, I have dial-up connection, living in a "hole" where DSL is not available and cable/satellite internet is
not yet affordable for me, so clearly I have no place in a file-sharing group! I wonder whether I would live
long enough to upload an entire file [ha-ha!]. I am still downloading my very first file - and this is the 5th
day (or is it the 6th)? Won't I be crushed when it fails to play!

As for big brother's comment that he is watching hugecigar - watching WHAT? [LOL]

(hugecigar - yup, I smoke the biggies)

Popper

a) µTorrent got an option to associate it with .torrent files > check that
b) If you download the .torrent file to your PC, then open µTorrent and then drag and drop the .torrent file onto the µTorrenr window, it should work anyway
c) Windows got the Default Programs setting in the Start menu (or in the Control Pane), set there µTorrent to be the default for .torrent files

Try one of these options …

Don't forget to take advantage of the bonus points for seeding. That also helps me stay within right ratio
