      Hello,

      I'm having downloading problems for 3 days now.
      I can only donwload one file at a time and even not always, only when it's okay for those "new site rules"

      The tracker keeps telling me : "Failure: bad ratio: 1.690 (to many torrents. Your current limit is 15 at the same time. See rules/ to fix limits you could donate"

      For instance, right now, I'm having only one file downloading and the other 5 ones are blocked with the same message
      Normally, I can donwload 15 files at the same time, like the message says but those days are over  :blownose:

      please advise, thanx and regards, Jinga

        I think it is because of the way the tracker counts "downloading torrents:"  If you have downloaded a torrent with many files, and you have only selected some of them to download, your torrent client may show this torrent as 100% completed.  But, the gt.ru tracker sees this as only partially downloaded, and this torrent will count it as one of your 15 allowed downloading torrents.  I sometimes have the same problem.

        The way I fix this is to look at older torrents that I have downloaded this way (only some of the files, not all) that also have very few seeders (so I won't be uploading much to them).  I then delete the torrent, but keep the files (if I want), and then it won't count against the allowed maximum.  It might take a few minutes for the gt.ru tracker to recognise this and update your total.

        I hope this helps your situation.  Bonne chance!

            I have this same problem however I do not partially download torrents so that cannot be the cause. Are there any other reasons that this may happen?

              If you were recently downloading torrents, there may be a delay in the data updating.

              Make sure you have not partially downloaded any torrents, though.  If a torrent is a folder with a video file and some photos, and you don't download the photos to make the torrent 100% complete, it will take up a download slot even though you aren't trying to download the rest.
