<![CDATA[Has anyone else noticed a greater number of dead torrents?]]>They sometimes happen, of course, but it seems that during this freeleech period I have ended up with a higher than normal number of dead torrents.
Why would someone bother to add a torrent not to finish seeding it. They haven't "cost" me, but some were of stuff I was excited about and it is just annoying and rude.
Does anything happen to the uploaders, like a ban from uploading torrents for a while?

It is a possibility. I did a search for 'Reseed Request' but got four pages of replies and the sun is out here. Priorities.

If no-one answers here then a quick question to the Helpdesk might be useful. I have always found they live up to their name  🙂

Most 'dead' torrents, that is those that are unseeded, finished seeding ages ago and people who have downloaded them decided to stop seeding.

Recent torrents that don't finish (or start) seeding are usually removed altogether.

So you are really talking of banning uploaders who have shared their stuff and have moved on to other things, like seeding another torrent.

If a torrent has no seeders it is not really 'dead'. You can always request a reseed using the reseed button.

Do I need to be a power user to request a reseed? When I click it, the next page says no pms sent.

I've been downloading and seeding without problems.
