      The rules for Power User are: "Automatically given to (and revoked from) users who have been members for at least 4 weeks, have uploaded at least 10 GB and have a share Ratio above 1.05. Moderator changes of status last only until the next execution of the script." In other words, the whole process is automated.

      The other categories are VIP then Moderators. These are totally up to Tom. And by the way, anyone who applies for VIP status is will be automatically disqualified. You can apply for Moderator, but be aware that you have to be willing to work on the site, and you also must have certain capabilites that Tom feels the site needs (like a foreign language that we do not currently have).

        Thanks for the info. I personally could never be a moderator - I just don't have the time to give to do the job.

          Im kinda new at this. Not a techy person. I did read the rules and regulations and try visiting forums. The problem is im not really sure of the whole torrent terms. Like creating torrents or seeding them. Sorry im a noob. But im trying to understand. Another problem is, im using Utorrent. Lets say i want to make up ratio goes up and my connection here is bad. Do stop downloading and just let it upload? But then again, how do i do that with Utorrent. Sorta new to this whole torrent thing. Sorry.:(

            Hi melvin13,

            for the "technical terms" have a look at this thread in this very forum. General advise is: read the the sticky threads in the forum, there really is some reason why we made them sticky (they remain on top because of that).

            Using uTorrent as a client is not a problem at all, you should be happy to use such a good client. Second reason to be happy for that client: Most of us mods use uTorrent themselves, and know how to overcome problems which can rise once in a while.

            If you have overcome your "Term-problem " you will better understand the helpfiles of uTorrent. There is also a forum on the utorrent website where you can ask questions about uTorrent too. And a last answer to ypur question: Just let a complete downloaded torrent stay in uTorrent, uT will automatically switch to seeding mode after downloading, That's the most easy way to gain upload amount - and thus push your ratio upwards.

              Hey Melvin13,

              It's a great to see other new users donating to such a well run site - one of the first things I myself done when I joined was to donate. The people here really do deserve a bit of help paying for what must be large costs to keep a site like this up to date and running smoothly.

                    LOL, it does look like that, I admit. But I mean what I said without meaning to "suck up". I waited years for a site like this to come along, and I am very grateful to all involved.

                        I just looked at your Member page and it shows you have 'Upload' 49.07 GB. I am replying to your post within 2 hours of your posting, so I don't see where you are getting the 43 MB (your message says 43 MB, but I am pretty sure you meant 43 GB!.) I have NEVER in almost a year that I have been a Mod, seen a case where a Member sees ANY different DL or UL numbers that we Mods see! It just can not happen! We see the same UL/DL numbers that you see.

At http://tracker.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=14198&dllist=1#seeders when i look at all seeders I am now showing as having uploaded 788.23 MB when in fact my utorrrent says i have uploaded 3.59GB This is the confusion i have….

                            Hi derfm,

                            the peerlist shows the amounts of your (and/or your peers) last session since you started utoorent the last time whereas utorrent shows the cumulated amount of all sessions of your upload. There is no comparable figure to that amount utorrent shows on our database.

                            It's either the detaiul figures of your last session (peers list) or all accumulated up-/downloads in your profile - which uT doesn't show likewise. the accumulated amount uT shows in U:xxx and D:xxx are only the accumulated amounts of your last session.

                                i need to improve my ratio.
                                i keep putting files up for seeding but no-one is downloading them.
                                why is this? i can't possibly get my ratio up this way.

                                  currently you haven't uploaded any files, this explains why nobody has downloaded them

                                    I understand I have been blocked for the ratio of 0.171 and all activity has been stopped but I cannot comprehend how that is possible since I have been seeding for a while now and actually have re-seed requests on seeds that are blocked at this moment.

                                    I understand that you want to get rid of the leechers however, blocking me all together including my seeding?

                                    How am I to get my ratio up now??????

                                      You have downloaded 6 videos but they are all stopped. Four of those videos have leechers wanting the files.

                                        So to ask the question, since I have completed torrents trying to seed, they cannot because of this ban (also I have been seeding for a while); since I cannot upload to even seed is the only option for me to "donate"??

                                          You can still seed (and re-download) torrents that you've completed, in an attempt to increase your ratio.
                                          My guess is that the torrents that you've been "seeding for a while" have had a low amount of leechers, which have barely made any difference to your ratio.

                                          If you decide to upload a torrent. Then yes, you will be able to re-download the torrent-file to successfully seed the file.

                                            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.

                                            Im seeding like crazy, U32.67/D93.95 but my ratio keeps droping. When does it start to go up? And please tell me, what do I get for exchanging the bonus points when I reach 100, it says something about on the fly but I dont understand what that means. Also,how much of an increase in ratio would I get for $20 or so?

                                            John
