<![CDATA[How can you tell if a torrent is a lost cause?]]>I'm new, got my first torrent uploaded and more to come this weekend, but the one I wanted to download most never starts…it says 4 peers, but it never starts downloading even though I have downloaded other files (https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=e18fa7c62c6ddd5ee64a780034f6e407299085bcbfeea36a)

I think my ratio is decent (working on it!) so I don't think it's that.

Are torrents like this one a lost cause? Do you think it will eventually download? Or is there something I should do differently?

Thanks!

There are seeders so it's definitely not a lost cause, most likely there's something wrong on your side or you just need to wait a bit more.
