Asking For Seed Bonus Gifts
-
Basically the Staff agrees with you. See for example http://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=7208.msg34038#msg34038
Rather than creating another rule (we got already soooooo many), we tried by explaining and PM to regulate the way it is asked for seed bonus. I think that was rather success full, because it has calmed down.
-
Here is another thread that discusses this and it has a poll to vote you mind. If enough members are turned off by seed bonus beggars then we may have to set some guidelines on how they can be asked for.
-
Why ask for seed bonus points anyway? I want the quality of my uploads to be the judge of what I "deserve".
Just my opinion. -
@Uwe:

I'm afraid the rot is creeping back in Uwe.
Last week I opened the seach window and at the top were music torrents whose description began SEED BONUS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED. THANKS. I just felt that is so wrong!
It's about as welcoming as walking into a bar and standing next to a drunk shouting "BYE ME A DRINK"
Music seem to be the worst with 6 of the top 7 music postings begin with the begging cup.

465 SeedPointsBut search for seed bonus and the results say that the current crop of uploaders think it is fine and good to have it right in your face.
There was talk when seed bonuses were intoduced that problems could happen if people start to see it as a currency. That is a bigger debate.
Yes there are plenty of rules, some say too many. I did read that and agreed.
But now I would like to see one more.
'Do not request seed bonus in the opening description'
If you can see those words, or some slippery work-around, from the search you are on the wrong side of the community.I'd suggest those uploads are refused moderation until changed.
I'd also suggest any auto-approval is suspended.It's easy enough to remember that we can't post Titan and Lucas titles or anything we know is evil, real snuff, paedophilia, rape.
Remembering not to start grabbing at peoples pockets should be just as easy. -
Perhaps I'm a little mean in that regard. When I see torrents where users are begging for seed bonus points, I just take out the begging
It makes life more appealing that way…

He He, I like your style
And no offence to you my friend, but thats a bit like a caring parent picking up the mess from an unruly teenager.
If they are going to behave like brats, GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE, then the kindest thing to do is show them some TOUGH love! :spank2:

Ok, here's one. It popped up in the suggested torrent box.
BelAmi - Erik Bouna : Brandon Manilow : Julien Hussey ~bareback
the next part of popular bareback series *********************** seed bonus appreciated ********************* thank you ******************************I wonder what was in the mind of the uploader who wrote that description?

Okay, I have a generous amount of seedbonuse, methinks, but am not sure how it affects me.
Does it help me at all when I downloadl a torrent;
(I have yet to upload, since everything I like seems to be on here already :);
If I give 1 or 20 points; how does it affect the rate;
What else do you suggest should I know about seedbonus, and how much to give;
Is there a thread I haven't found that explains all this?Thanks in advance for your help.

SEED BONUS POINTS are awarded at the rate of .5 points per hour of seeding time.
You can use them 3 ways here at GT.ru :
- As a thank you for an upload ~ just use the drop down box on the torrent post
#'s 2 & 3 are accessed by clicking on Bonus at the top of each page.
- To purchase invites to GT.ru ~ 250 pts = 1 invite ~ 400 pts = 2 invites
_Only Power Users can use the invite function and you are given 4 invites
for free.- To purchase Upload Credit :
100 pts = 1 GB
200 pts = 2.5 GB
350 pts = 5 GBDoes it help me at all when I downloadl a torrent;
Downloading has no affect on Seed Bonus Points._

Thanks leatherbear!

I am trying to make an impression that has more force than a "thankyou" I can freely generate at the press of a button. I want the uploader to know that I am giving them something that has actual value in this system. I have noticed that the "power uploaders" have amazing libraries and appear to get satisfaction from providing downloads that are highly prized by someone.
As an uploader, I use the seed bonus information more than the thank you simply because everyone could press the ty button but it "costs" to gift seed bonus; thus the ensuing info is more definitive. What I would like to see is that the seed bonus stats and the downloads completed stats would show on the "My Torrents" lists. The snatch info is listed but does GT.ru really have 68 million users? (My torrent that lists 68 million snatches only has 33 completed downloads, which I don't think is correct either). That same torrent though lists 100 seed bonus points and 28 ty's. This pretty much tells me that most everyone that downloaded it pressed the ty button but some people really enjoyed it as my average seed bonus is probably 15-20.
P.S. For the record, I do not and never have asked or begged for seed bonus.

i think everytime you turn on your torrent program you "snatch" all the torrents that are downloading on your computer. but that's just my theory

I don't know about that but if not then about a third of the planet is interested in checking out Huge Studio–Bare Huge Dicks #4. :cheesy2:

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. They can be found in the following directory by default:
Windows XP
BitTorrent: C:\Documents and Settings<username>\Application Data\BitTorrent
uTorrent: C:\Documents and Settings<username>\Application Data\uTorrentWindows Vista/7
BitTorrent: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent
uTorrent: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrentIn order to see the Application Data or AppData folders, you may have to first enable the option to see hidden files and folders, otherwise they may not appear.</username></username></username></username>

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
