**_This is one of the most heated discussed forum I've ever read, but definitely the most interesting…..I have the same problem during my 1st week here and the good admin temporarily revoked my download rights until I upped my ratio (I've got so excited because many of the hard to find gay themed films, I've found it here, so I just dl and dl w/o reading the rules)

I wrote the good admin about this and they gave me good advice and started to upload until I normalized my ratio and now I have more than enough buffer and I download that interest me. I download only files with complete or almost complete description (like resolution, pix and the likes) and as for the seed bonus, I participated in all except for the invite (I have still 4 unused invites but since when it comes to upload, we are all anonymous, I must be careful on whom to invite)

Thanx to the author of this forum, I hope you solve your problem soon_**

eastonkellan, you make some very good points, especially the likeness to a kid in a candy shop I'm not sure new members are told properly what will happen if they don't maintain a ratio or informed that, don't worry, the torrent will still be here when you have a decent buffer.

Also people should know that if they do get download rights disabled the staff want you to get them back and will give advice how to. Their pleasure is not banning people…for a few bonus points I will tell you what their real pleasure is :cheesy2:

I would like to chime in here. I found this site awhile back and downloaded a bunch of stuff and fell below the ratio and was oblivious to sharing/seeding. I saw a clip I just had to have and couldn't download it, despite finding it easily enough on here.

So, I used the FAQ and researched how to get connectable. I used the QTM to create a few torrents and uploaded them. And then downloaded the hell out of brand new torrents in the Browse section to get my ratio to above 1.000.

It didn't take too long and now I have full rights. Just make sure you are connectable. All the instructions are available in the FAQ and QTM sections. And I'm not tech savvy at all…so if I can do it...anyone can!

The thing that i hate about uploading is that once you get about 1.0 with the torrent it practically stops seeding since there are so many seeds at that point. I have found the best thing to do is to upload large files. Uploading 1.2 on a 10GB file is better than uploading 1.8 of a 800mb file.

This is not always the case… The GT.ru tracker does not like passive nodes, and places them at the bottom of the priority list, regardless of their upload speed. So... Always be sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer. This alone will go a long way.

Also, if you have a higher upload speed (say, 75KB/s), you'll get placed higher on the priority list for peers. So... Having a higher upload speed when possible does help in addition to making sure that your network is correctly setup. If using a VPN, it is important to know that you are connected correctly to the VPN and that the VPN has that port forwarded to your computer.

If connecting with an OpenVPN based VPN, you need to be using TAP, rather than TUN, otherwise, ports cannot be opened. Also, you need to make sure that the VPN has that port forwarded. Some VPN's like Private Internet Access will only forward one port that they choose, whereas a VPN like PrivateVPN will forward ALL ports as long as you're using UDP + TAP and are connecting to a port forwarding enabled server.
