<![CDATA[Suggestions to Newbies: Getting off on the right foot]]>This topic would make a good 'sticky'.

Choose your first few files carefully! ! !

As your first downloads, do NOT under any circumstances download a file that has only 1 or 2 seeders and no other downloaders.  Only after you have a decent ratio should you be looking at large files and files with 1 or 2 seeders and no other downloaders.  Until then, choose popular files only.  This is really the best for you in the long run.

As a first download, make sure you pick a file that is small (under 500 MB) that has lots of other downloaders.  After you have finished downloading the file, make sure you leave your Bit Torrent client open until you have uploaded MORE than you downloaded.  Try to keep an upload ratio per file at 1.1  (110%) and build up a bit of a buffer, sort of like bits in the bank for future use.

Make sure you are connectable.

If you only do one thing on this list, make sure that you have properly installed your Bit Torrent client on your home network and provide it with information of an open port.  This is a multiple step process that is not really an option.  If you do not forward a port (telling your router/modem which port it should open for you), many other members of the swarm (other downloaders) will not be able to connect to you and request packets from you.  The result of this will be a less than good ratio and you will end up loosing your download privileges.  I repeat, this is really not an option, if you are serious about being a member of our website.

If the torrent posted setting for over a year or a period of time and had been snatched/download only few times, then it is almost impossible to get. [50/50 chances or ZERO] unless it is recycled...

There is a large file (11 GB) first uploaded in 2015 that I would like to get. I'm not even sure if it's still available anywhere. In qBittorrent the status shows as "stalled" with 0 seeds. If I make a donation to this site could someone get me the videos and if so, how much of a donation would I need to make? Thanks!

So I am trying to upload and improve my ratio, but uTorrent won't let me.
I have set up port forwarding and static IP on my ZTE router, but uTorrent still says "no incoming connections".
Turning off the firewall on my mac doesn't help either. My ISP says they don't block torrenting and post port forwarding instructions on their website.
Any idea what else I could try?

PS. I just found out about the forums now.

I think Alexander meant a button on each individual torrent page rather than alongside the entry on the Search list.

And it has been requested before.

I'd really like this functionality, as well. I often decide a new download based on your front page "most popular" list, or sometimes see direct link to torrents from the forums as recommendations.

I've been a member in good standing for many year (not a "newbie" by any means), and my ratio's in a down period right now … so I'm in payback mode. I don't want to commit to any big downloads at the moment, I just want to seed what I have as best I can and upload.

I hate to completely lose track of something I stumbled across, though. Sometimes, I have difficulty even finding the torrent I'm looking at going through the search function. The button on the actual torrent page would be very helpful.  🙂

I have uploaded a bunch of videos and seeding some that I downloaded.

Very often the tracker says: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted"

What can I do? I have randomizing port set on but i'm thinking of changing it.

Also I'm bit of fed up of utorrent and thinking of getting qbittorrent 🙂

hi!

can anybody help me.. i recently encountered this problem when downloading torrents.. out of the 5 torrents that are selected only 3 are being downloaded with speed that is acceptable.. the other 3 will have speed around 1 - 5 kbps.. i wonder why this is happening since the torrents are from the freeleech category. mybe the speed is not stable? its affecting my ratio coz normally i dwnload when i leave the house.

help needed..

I could be wrong but on Freeleech torrents there is no effect on your ratio unless you choose a freeleech that is huge and has very few seeders, but if your downloading a 10GB torrent with only 1 or 2 seeders then you better hope it's Freeleech for well over 48 hours or it will affect your ratio. Also by the way it is shown (# of seeders) on each torrent page and if there is less than 5 seeders  you will need the 48hrs or more to be able to download it during that time.  (and keep in mind they may be shown as being seeders but you can see in your torrent program that a number of these so called seeders are only uploading at 0.3kb which tells me it's just a way to gain points for seeding - Personal opinion).  You will of course receive 2 seed points for voting on category after the torrent is downloaded so that will help your ratio.  You can do that while your thanking the member for their torrent (hint hint)

Someone have maybe already ask but a "add to wishlist" button into the torrent page would be nice. It'd be a confort button but who don't like confort ?  ;D

The function "Wish List" (extreme right) in every torrent is the "button", just click it and when it turns Yellow, it means that the torrent is added to your wish list.

Then read through this https://www.gaytor.rent/faq.php#29

The only quibble there is you can put anything as the Tracker URL when you create your initial torrent as the site will insert the correct details when you come to download your own torrent.

If you follow the steps on the manual Upload page you can't go far wrong as long as you remember to download your own uploaded torrent to open it and start seeding
