Asking For Seed Bonus Gifts
-
I don't know about other torrent clients, but BitTorrent and uTorrent do save a copy of the .torrent file for every torrent that you've ever imported into them.
I don't know about uTorrent but in BitTorrent, if you tell it to remove and delete the torrent, then it deletes the torrent file from your computer and you would have to re-download the file if you want to seed it again.
uTorrent and BitTorrent are both the same in that regard. The only thing with that is that you must go to "Remove and" then select "delete .torrent" in order to do this. Most users don't bother to do this and will just merely remove the torrent from the list.

Hi all,
Just a couple of uTorrent pics concerning what has been written :MrMazda wrote : uTorrent do save a copy of the .torrent file for every torrent that you've ever imported in the the following directory by default:
C:\Documents and Settings<username>\Application Data\uTorrentI don't find any torrent in this folder…because I changed the default a long time ago
As you will notice in the 1st attached pic ("1 - Data and Torrents location.jpg"), all data (movies) and torrents are immediately stored in a more accessible folder, then dispatched when completed. This folder is like a "to be sorted" folder.
Concerning the torrent deletion, utorrent gives a full control of what you want to delete, as seen in the 2nd attached pic ("2 - Remove - Remove And.jpg")
The right-clic context menu offers all possibilities :
-
Remove = Remove the torrent from utorrent (and do nothing else)
-
Remove And :
2a) Delete .torrent : same as 1) + delete the torrent from disc
2b) Delete .torrent + data : same as 1) + delete the torrent and movie from disc
2c) Delete data : same as 1) + delete the movie from disc
It's simple and efficient, especially it asks you a confirmation after you choose a Delete option.

Here you see our difficulties to give exact guides.
There are usually so many setting possibilities in BitTorrent Client programs that it is nearly impossible to gather all possible variations of your settings and the effects they might have on our guides. Our guides usually use the default settings for clients to explain problems and answer settings. We hope: if you really change default settings of your client (which in the last case are what MrMazda described) you in fact know what you do and are able to combine our guides and your different settings to get the effective answer just for your question.

Hey Mgr is here, it's always a pleasure
Well, as I'm curious, i always experiment the different possibilities offered by a software (Options…) and read (at least partially lol) its help file...which usually brings out new questions ("Super Seeding") or a comparison of utorrent glossary with GT glossary (in Raphjd's thread) etc...Of course, if an option is too complicated to understand, you better leave it unchanged lol
Or note carefully what was its default in case you dare change it -
Thank you blackdid. When I create the guide on this process, I will be sure to include the information that you have presented. This way, I can create a universal guide that has the default settings, as well as what to do in the event that the default settings are changed. This makes things much easier. I didn't even realize you had the ability to change things like that in uTorrent/BitTorrent.

Saw this in a torrent description today: "Please help me with seedbonus, my DL rights are taken. Thanxxx" What offended me the most about it is that he has upload credit of over 400 GB so he should understand the ratio rules. Also, he has been given over 5000 points but has only given out 50 points. He has uploaded nearly 20 torrents so he knows how to increase his ratio and is only 12 GB in the hole. One would only need to upload 4-5 1GB torrents to satisfy "The Rationator".

I never give SB to anyone who asks for it.

It might be that the member you speak about went a long way to get close to have the download rights back. I guess you can't see when his download rights were disabled ?
Perhaps you could give me by PM a link to that torrent in question?
At least that member DOES upload new own torrents, which makes him positively outstanding from the masses of the members. Not asking for SBP would even be better IMHO.
Note that when I get across SBP requests visible in the listing, I edit the descriptions so they don't appear any more visible in the list, but only in the description.

@Uwe:

I agree with that; on the other hand, the fact that he has been a member for nearly 3 years and appears to be experienced with torrents makes him, in my opinion, more responsible for managing his ratio than, let's say, a new member who has never used torrents before.

So, is this considered over the line? :cheesy2:

That's kind of funny actually.
I guess it wasn't TOO funny, cuz it was removed from a torrent I just uploaded. Oh well…back to the whoring, er drawing board. >:D

IMHO that has not to be in a torrent description and the design is illustrating a wrong perspective: the poor uploader begging in front of a rich guy.
Original torrent poster are not poor and should not need to beg: It is them the generous who give and share, the downloader should gratefully give their (small) obolus to thank them, without being asked for.
Then the downloader are not a single rich, but multiple members, who have to earn their Seed Bonus Points through long seeding or getting thanks on their own upload, they may be as destitute or even more than the original poster
-
But, since we live in an imperfect world, this is less likely to happen
This only shows once more people's true attitude towards themselves and others: it's always easier to beg and demand rather then to actually do something to make things change…
Which is quite sad actually
-
It was me that removed it. I have this thing about people asking for seed bonus points in a torrent upload. When I see it, I remove the begging. Call me a prick if you must, but I just think torrents look better without begging for SBP

Well, my real goal is to garner enough bonus to exchange for an invite. I have a friend who would love this site. And he always maintains a respectable ratio. Once I have that, I'll gladly donate to others in the future.
-
All members got 4 invites by default, so there should be no need for you to exchange Seed Bonus Points for an extra invite.
In addition only Power User can actually make use of invites and you are not yet Power User.
If I am not mistaken, registration of new accounts is currently open. Even if not, usually it is open the first day of a month, just tomorrow. So tell your friend to try to register tomorrow.

Heck, I wish I'd known about the 1st of the month rule. Every time I came to this site, I just got a message saying it was by invite only.
Good to know. Thanks for the info, uwe. Much obliged. :cheers:
