Reseed notifications for files not originally Snatched?
-
is it a partial reseed? I think it only shows snatched if you show you have the 100% complete release
I suspect if it does not show snatched that you would not get notifications
I am currently trying to rebuild a dead release from files from other releases , the annoying thing is the files are exactly the same size but the torrent client shows 1-2MB remaining so it will never complete on the downloaders end.
I wonder if this is some padding to get the packs/blocks to a certain size etc -
@Lancej If you appear to have fully grabbed a torrent - i.e. progress hits 100% - and you switch to being a seeder not a leecher, then whether you got all, some or none of the files from this site is irrelevant. Once you have the files and you have been noted as a seeder then, yes, you'll be alerted to any reseed requests.
Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

@Lancej Why not simply take a look at the lists at the bottom of your Profile, under "User Details"?
All the torrents that you are currently seeding are shown under "Show seeding torrents", and those you're still leeching under "Show leeching torrents"..
The totals of each should be the same as the numbers shown in the middle of the bar at the top of the site:
Beneath these, is "Show completed torrents". When you stop seeding a torrent that has fully completed - e.g. you pause it, or delete the torrent from your client - that torrent will move from "Seeding" to "Completed". If the torrent you're interested in is in either "Seeding" or "Completed", you should get notified of any reseed request. If it's still in "leeching", or not shown at all, you won't be.

@trueform yes im having the same issue. some will only go to 99% and stop. I just gave up on them and went to reseeding something else in my collection. Im mainly reseeding whole files. It will still reseed if its a partial right?

yea i forgot all about the completed section. I just wanted to make sure because i will start archiving instead of deleting the torrents to make them easier to reseed.

Getting notified of a reseed request, and getting a reseeded torrent back to 100% progress at your end are two different things.
So long as at some point you've registered as a seeder (see comment above about which list the torrent is on) then you'll be notified. Once you're on the seeder list, you're on it, even if you can't quite seed everything.
But you don't have to have downloaded every file in a torrent to actually seed it. I've got a recent one where I only downloaded one file of three - I've now uploaded about six times what I downloaded.
If you're returning to a torrent, rather than leeching it initially, one possible cause of the 99.8% issue is that - in my qBittorrent at least - I sometimes get a "torrent complete" notification before it actually is. If I look at my download speed, there's often a time when it says "100% progress" but it''s still showing a falling speed before it finally registers as zero. The difference is nowhere near enough to interfere with a file's playability, so likely wouldn't be noticed... until you try to reseed. Then, the fact you've really only downloaded 1.86gb instead of 1.87gb will make a difference.

Actually, there's another reason for sometimes not getting back up to 100% on an individual file. People often include images as well as videos. Those people often include them at the same folder level as the video. People like me don't want / need other peoples' images so delete them.
However, the way files are split in a torrent, the last chunk of a video file may well have been uploaded/downloaded within the image file next to it. Hence, if you no longer have the video file you may also find that the video files above and below it only recheck to 99% or so each.
This may not be an issue if you haven't originally downloaded the image file at all, or it may be. You'll often see part of a file shows as downloaded even if you've unticked it. I'm not sure if that means the full video file has therefore downloaded and be retained.
I get around this by redownloading the images if I get a reseed request, and someone does have the images too, so I become a fully fledged seeder again. Their size is normally minor in comparison to the video files.
