      Well I downloaded it again and put it on Vuze, still says 0% and isn't downloading but if it's supposed to be that way then I'll leave it like that.

        a simple thing you can do:
        remove the torrent from Vuze, now again double click on the .torrent file you downloaded from here and when it asks where to 'save as' browse to the video on your computer and then add the file, the torrent should check and be ready for you to start to seed…..

        at first it will not start to seed because it has to be approved by a moderator, this is normal so just leave it seeding and one of us will approve it....once approved it will go 'live' for all to see and download......

        EDIT: or since you already have the torrent in your client you can follow these steps:
            *  go to view --> advanced --> my torrents
            * stop the file (ie the one you just started and is downloading)
            * right click and choose "show details"
            * click on the "files" tab
            * right click on that file and choose "Rename or Retarget"
            * search for the file and click ok
        start the torrent again and it should check and then be ready to start seeding.....

        i repeat: leave it seeding and wait for approval....

        Dear Lord, I pray for:
        Wisdom  to  understand  my  man,
        Love  to  forgive  him,  and
        Patience  for  his  moods.
        Because,  Lord,  if  I  pray  for  Strength,  I'll beat  him to  death !

            great  ;D

            and just to clear one thing up: it did not download per-se, it did a 'hash check' for the torrent to recognize/realize that you have the video 🙂

            Dear Lord, I pray for:
            Wisdom  to  understand  my  man,
            Love  to  forgive  him,  and

              Hi,

              I followed the steps outlined. At first it said "Seeding" now it says "Queued" and the Tracker Status says "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is this normal? Does it say this because my torrent had not been approved yet?

              Thanks.

                Hello LAMB,

                The error message "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is normal, because the GayTorrent.ru tracker does not support that function for non active torrents.

                However to get your torrent to be approved, it must be in Seeding, not Queued. It looks like Vuze changed functioning since the last update and causing that trouble. Perhaps of the other (tracker) torrents you have active, raeching already your Vuze setting of active torrents…?

                –- Edit 2009-10-03 ---
                As I am learning, the right way to have torrent seed in Vuze / Azureus are to make the following settings (actually advised already more upstairs in this topic by another moderator):

                Preferences --> Queue --> Seeding --> First Priority --> A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers

                Queue –> Seeding --> Ignore Rules --> uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers

                It may take a while until things settle ( up to an hour).

                Another brute solution is to force start of the torrent in Vuze.

                  I just followed the suggestions other people had before. All I had to do was change the Queued/Seeding Options to ignore 0 peers. Tracker Status says "OK" now, so hopefully my torrent will work once I get approved, thanks!

                      Am receiving the same scraping error message using Transmission.  Have yet to figure it out.

                          I am a newbe to this so please bare with me. I uploaded the torrent, or I thought I did, and I received a PM stating that I need to reseed.  The Pm gave me a link that was broken.  I asked for a proper link and was told to reset my password and clink the link again.  NOTE:  I received an Email stating the Admin would need to approve the uploaded torrent.  What am I miss and what do I need to do to fix it so that I can upload and download?

                            Here the steps after uploading the small .torrent file:

                            1/ Once you have uploaded successfully a torrent through the web form, you will be directed automatically to the description page.
                            There is a "Download" button, re-download the small .torrent file by clicking on it. [1]
                            2/ Then Open it in your torrent client programme. A pop-up window should display (depends on the torrent client programme you use and  the options set) indicating the download location, browse to the (movie) data file or folder and confirm.
                            3/ Start the torrent. It should make a short check to 100% and start seeding, if it starts downloading, stop the torrent. Your client does not locate the (movie) data file(s) .

                            More details depends on the torrent client programme you are using, but you need to indicate which you are using.

                            [1] You'll receive a system PM, too with a link to that description or go to it from the list of uploaded torrents in your Profile. (to go to your Profile, click on your name in top left "Welcome, back, …"

                              Hallo mates :

                              me thinks I have some difficulty trying to offer some video torrents -  i followed these directions to the letter ( I think )

                              the first offer never got approved - as it was not seeding - I found the torrent icon from azureus ( in my library ) and clicked it - now it would appear - if the torrent were healthy - I would be downloading my own created torrent - is this correct ( health ) red ( tracker ) ok dht

                              I made a new offering last nite - followed directions again - this time the file immediately appeared in my Azureus seeding section ( health ) blue (tracker ) ok dht

                              anyone have an idea how do I correct this - or what is doing /
                              cheers in advance

                                Hello nomadix,

                                Your torrent arrived well on the tracker and for approval, but you are not appearing to upload (seed) or download (leech) it.

                                If it is running in your torrent client programme (Vuze/Azureus), it means you use the small .torrent file which you created and not the re-downloaded .torrent file from GayTorrent.ru .

                                Here what to do:
                                1/ Stop the torrent,
                                2/ remove it from your client including the .torrent file (but NOT the data!)
                                3/ go to the torrent description and "Download" the .torrent file from there [1]
                                4/ when you open it in your torrent client programme, usually a window pops up with the download loacation, press the button to change it and navigate to your movie files location, set it as the download location. Confirm
                                5/ Restart the .torrent

                                [1] = you can find it from the Profile page (click on your name in top left "Welcome back, …") or from the PM confirming the upload and inviting you to redownload the .torrent

                                  I am using Vuze and have followed the steps in this thread.  I have just joined GAYtorrent and downloaded my first file and it it not seeding.

                                  The status now says "Forced Seeding".
                                  tracker status says "OK"

                                  It is not uploading.  Is it because it says "0(0)" under peers?  I did change the preferences by unchecking the box for "Ignore torrents with 0 peers".

                                    the torrent you were seeding has 0 leechers which means that there is no one downloading it and therefore you will not seed anything….
                                    (only if there are leechers will you seed something)

                                    i suggest you download a newer torrent with many leechers and less seeders so that you don't get into ratio problems (the risk of which is quite high since you only have a download amount so far)…

                                    Dear Lord, I pray for:
                                    Wisdom  to  understand  my  man,
                                    Love  to  forgive  him,  and

                                    Because,  Lord,  if  I  pray  for  Strength,  I'll beat  him to  death !

                                      Dear Moderator,

                                      I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. I followed the instructions as closely as I could. Appearantly, all of my uploads aren't seeding.

                                      This is what I tried to do:

                                      I go to one of my uploaded torrents I press ‘download’ and ‘open’ and then Vuze says the torrent already exists. When I click ‘download’ and ‘save’ my torrent map is being showed. I press save, and since it’s already in there it says ‘torrent exists already’. And then I still replace it. After that I again open the torrent and I get the same ‘torrent already exists’.

                                      But when I select the torrent in Vuze's "My Libary" and I click the right mouse button on it and select "Show details" the tracker URL (in blue) is the right one, but below behind ‘Tracker status’ it says ‘Scrape error, file not found (I translated this because it says that in Dutch).

                                      Could this be the problem? Otherwise I really don't know what's going wrong here!

                                      I really hope you could help me!

                                      Yours,

                                      Lucas

                                      (Sorry for my poor English)

                                        Our tracker got scrape switched off. Therefore that error message is normal for all torrents being Queued (i.e. not "Downloading" or "Seeding"). You need just to change the settings as in the below instructions marked blue.


                                        Here another short Guide, assuming you know to create a torrent with Vuze/Azureus already.

                                        Make the following setting in Vuze/Azureus > "Tools" > "Options" > "Files" > uncheck " Automatically download files to the default directory (no prompt)". This setting is usefull at the steps which follow.

                                        Do not load the torrent you've created into Vuze/Azureus ! <– part of your trouble comes from the fact that you load the created torrent automatically after creation, see the original and 3rd post of this topic.
                                        Just upload it to GayTorrent.ru via the "Upload" in the blue band and then:

                                        1/ After you upload the torrent file, you need to get it back downloaded from GayTorrent.ru. (only the small torrent).

                                        2/ Open the re-downloaded torrent with Vuze/Azureus and it shall show a small window to confirm or change the download location (see above preparation setting). Use there the browse button and navigate to your movie file location. Save that as the target download.

                                        3/ Do a "Force Recheck" (right click on the torrent in the library), Vuze/Azureus should find the file and check it to 100%

                                        4/ Start the torrent, it should go to seeding.

                                        If Vuze/Azureus doesn't keep seeding, the setting of Azureus/Vuze are wrong, use these:

                                        Tools > Options > Queue -> Seeding  > First Priority > A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers

                                        and

                                        Tools > Options > Queue > Seeding > Ignore Rules > uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers

                                          This is absolutely maddening …  I am trying to follow all the steps that you have laid out for me, and this is not working.
                                          I am obviously doing something wrong, and I don't know what that is.
                                          So ... I have a file in J:\porn\gay\movie-name.avi

                                          I used Vuze to create a new torrent file with the options you've pointed out ...
                                          This creates the .torrent file in the same directory:  J:\porn\gay\movie-name.avi.torrent
                                          I uploaded the image, the description, and the torrent file I just created.

                                          When I download the torrent file I just uploaded, Vuze tells me that the media file already exists.
                                          At that point ... what do I do now?

                                          I want to upload a file first before I dload anything.    Thanks!

                                            Somehow I managed to get past the Already Exists issue …

                                            Basically, I did change the default so that I was ALWAYS prompted on where to put the file.
                                            So, the second time I tried this I pointed to where the file was located already.
                                            It did a check and created this item at the bottom of my queued up files.
                                            I did a right mouse click, and did a Forced-re-check.  It climbed to the top quickly, and then was seeding.

                                            BTW, I did get the "Scrape Error" but found another link on how to fix that.

                                            The one thing you will notice is that all the directions for Azureus now are completely out-dated ...
                                            Since it is now Vuze, many of the options have been moved around, so it takes a little longer to find things.

                                            Now if I could better find out how to see if there are no duplicates .....
