@Kevin4fm so someone else uploaded it while i was trying to upload it, so how do i start over with a different one then since someone stole it from me what should i do?
-
@trkr4life Please .. can we stick to one line of conversation? What's the answer to my question? There's a specific reason I'm asking, and I need to know the answer to work something out.

@Kevin4fm i have no i dea i tried yesterday to upload it i did a search and nothing showed up so i read a bit on how to do it and no this isnt from any multi file torrent to my knowledge No

@trkr4life OK. That explains why I can't seed it.
AoB 01-42 was uploaded a short while ago, as a single torrent. It was since deleted. Probably a DCMA strike. I downloaded that. If it was the same file, I should be able to seed it, but it adds up that it isn't.
So, the answer to your question - and it gets 'sticky' with terminology here - someone else didn't "upload" it. It's your torrent, and there's only that torrent.
That person happened to also have exactly that file themselves. So when they downloaded the torrent from your listing, they pointed it to where their copy is. It matched, so the system started to upload what they had to other leechers.
But it looks like they never properly finished downloading the file. That's why they never showed as a seeder, and only uploaded 97.5%.
The problem now is that there are several others who have also grabbed 97.5% so not completing will leave them "hanging". Their file is most likely playable, but it won't complete, so they can't become seeders.
Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

@Kevin4fm oh ok so this one is dead then
-
Can I suggest that we pause for now, and return to it same time tomorrow, if you want?
You should add a comment there to say that's what will happen, and ask leechers to just leave their torrent connected. Alternatively, they can see if it plays, and if they're happy with that just delete the torrent. They can seed, but they'll never show as seeders. If you understand the difference.

@Kevin4fm oh ok so this one is dead then
It's only dead because you can't connect to it for some reason. Which is very curious. I'd recommend abandoning it, if it wasn't for those poor souls trying to leech!
-
@Kevin4fm so what should i do then try tommorrow or delete it and just try another video?
-
@trkr4life You can't "delete" it. Now it's out there, it's out there. All you can do is not seed it which, as I say, leaves people hanging.
You could ask a moderator to delete it, but there's not a lot of point, plus you'd have to explain why some people are at 97.5% which gets complicated.
It MAY get deleted automatically, as there has never been any "seeders". But it might not, as there are several existing leechers. It's not a situation I've come across before.
Whoever "seeded" has caused real issues, for a miserable amount of upload credit!

i think i just say fuck it and delete this one and try for another one

@trkr4life Seems reasonable. Do leave that comment though, so people know where they stand. As the torrent creator, you'll show as anonymous. Just don't reply to any direct messages, as that will show your name.
[Edit: Actually, you'll show as "Uploader"]
DM me tomrrow, or is it OK for me to DM you? There's a fundamental mis-step that you need to understand so you don't just end up repeating this.

Staff note: thanks for all the testing in this thread, it was genuinely useful.

Closing the triage entries for this thread; anything still broken for you today, just open a fresh thread or a helpdesk ticket.
