Too Many Un-seeded New Files

lambdaman

I am experiencing approximately 10% of the first day files I attempt to download NOT being seeded; this is the average over the last week. Although the site says there is 1 seeder, my client says there are 0(0) or 0(1) seeders. Sometimes, the torrent is seeded a day or two later; too many times, not at all.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the uploader / seeder not being connectable of just a lack of regard for the rules.

Come on, this is a great site, let's all do our own part and follow the rules and seed what we upload!

Thanks,

The Torrent Moderators have as first priority task to help uploaders of unseed new torrents to get them seed.

Unfortunately not with a high success rate. Despite the efforts, we "loose" about 1/3 of all uploads as never being seed. There are only very few new torrents which are started to be seed, but then not completed. These less than 1% have a very special follow-up.

So those members who try to upload, but don't get it seed at all, at least try to upload and don't do much harm (a .torrent file deducted from the daily limit of member who should be aware that he risk the seeding won't start), which is more than the majority of members do. GayTorrent.ru is set-up in a way that many members who won't upload on other trackers will try it here for the first time, so we must try to teach them how that works.

Members could help in this task by making pictured upload guides for different torrent clients. For example Transmission on Mac OSX or GNU/Linux, or again Vuze with Mac OSX or GNU Linux etc …

To a technical point in your post, "0 (1)" in seeds in your torrent client means there is one seed, but your torrent client isn't connected to it. "0 (0)" can appear if the torrent is queued, not started, i.e. doesn't get peers information from the GayTorrent.ru tracker or it is not seed at all.

I've looked through the torrents you currently download:

3 seem to download normal
- 2 are uploaded by a member not stopping to add new torrents before having completed the upload of the previous. In addition not seed 24/7. He has been ask to stop adding new until the others upload is completed. Clearly that member miss the 24 hours rule when uploading more than 1 new torrent
- 1 is an old torrent seed only by a single member seeding hundreds of other torrents and it is difficult to get a connection to his client having other torrents in higher priority. However, he really seeds them and you can eventually complete the download.
- 1 is an old recycled, which had a seeder at the moment of promotion, but this seed stopped. It can get back any time.
- 1 only is a new torrent not seed at the moment. Here the case of being partially seed 0.7%, which looks like a wrong seeding priority setting of the uploaders torrent client programme.

Finally I think none of the uploaders of the torrent make it not to seed it, in opposite i think they did love to get it seed.
