The two limits you mention are for two different things.

a) The 80 is the number of .torrent files you can get per day
b) The 15 is the number of torrents being downloading* at the same moment in your torrent client(s)

= torrents of which you got not 100% of ALL files

Please verify your current downloading list, if it isn't filled with multiple file torrents of which you choose not to download all files.

@Popper:

It depends what you want:

fast download > many seeds own upload > many downloading peers

Attention to multiple file torrents. Peers appearing as downloading, might just have selected not all files to download and got them. They seed what they've got, without downloading further. They just can't be counted as seeds, because they haven't all files to share.

:thankyou:

Yes if they have enough bonus point, they can exchange it into traffic

@sintor: I see two problems with your configuration… Problem #1 is that you randomize the port on each uTorrent start up. This is problematic because you need to have the port in TCP and UDP open between your router and your computer. I would strongly suggest picking a port and sticking to it, then making sure that said port in both TCP and UDP is properly forwarded to your computer. This should go a long way.

Thanks, Popper - it's nice to see that. It may help others

I did eventually find it last night, it's not obvious 🙂

@furrydad:

it shows that it has been snatched 31 times ….  Certainly I should at least get the credit for the first upload

An avi the exact same size as yours has been available online for over a year, so it's possible that some of the 31 had that file already, and clicked Download in order to seed it.

The number you see in the Snatched column increases whenever someone downloads the torrent file only. It is not necessary to download the entire content itself for that number to change.

I also see this error code routinely.  When I first started with this site a few years ago, I noticed that torrent lines would turn red instead of the normal green.  (Using utorrent 3.3.2 build 30303) I selected the "tracker status" column to display and those red lines have a HTTP Error 502 status. If push comes to shove and I need or just want to I right click the error line and select Update Tracker to force a retry. 
IF it does not change back to green in a few second if not immediately, then my first presumption is that the tracker is busy busy and leave the poor thing alone.  ;D
However, when I am starting a download and I get the 502 while it is searching for peers, I will try again rather than wait for the default (appears to be 30 mins) countdown for a retry.

From a client perspective, I believe that reducing the number of active seeding torrents does help.  AND remember that for an individual torrent, the client will retry the connection after the timeout countdown had completed. 
From a tracker perspective, taint much we end users can do. Aside from hardware / software issues, the load is the load, it ebbs and flows with time.

While I do not know the tracker software personally, empirically, it looks like if many requests that come from an individual client, past a certain number those request get pushed to the bottom of the request queue so all clients can get a fair shake at the tracker. (IMHO)

Oh never mind, I see it probably means that my session dropped out at some point over night.  You probably should fix rationator to keep stuff around for a day or two in case of such a thing.  Although if oyu're just using it out of the box, and that's beyond your control short of delving into source, that's understandable.

This refers to the section in the FAQ about Freeleech torrents

"Users with ratios in gracetime or removed download privileges can still download freeleech torrents, one at a time. By seeding them, you can improve your ratio."

So you can download one freeleech torrent at a time until you get your download back. Pick nice healthy ones with leechers and plenty of freeleech time left

that makes sense 🙂 good advice thank you!

It would appear that you may have stopped the torrent at some point and restarted it. Once you stop a torrent, your torrent client will still acknowledge the full amount seeded from the beginning of it being added to your torrent client. The tracker however will only show how much you have uploaded on that particular session. Once you stop then restart the torrent, the session is refreshed and the tracker count goes back to 0. You would need to look at your overall ratio to be able to tell, but the problem comes in when you're dealing with numbers that are over 1 TB. 1 TB = 1024 GB, so it takes a while to make up the difference when the gap in the numbers is that large.

@theolopar:

Sometimes downloading free torrents only for a while and then vote works.

this is what i'm trying to do, you can also post new forum messages and add to torahs to up it

The passkey reset was after you've written to the Helpdesk.

That means IF the 40 GB you mention weren't registered by the tracker, it were fore another reason.

Currently I see about 6 GB of upload registered during the last 1 to 2 hours. There is as well some download.

Update 2015-12-27

After watching your statistics for a day, I can't see any dysfunction of the tracker.

UL 1.37 TB , DL 1.42 TB, Download Buffer 295.34 GB - 2015-12-26 @ 12:30 UTC
UL 1.39 TB , DL 1.44 TB, Download Buffer 311.14 GB  - 2015-12-27 @ 14:45 UTC

So it were registered about 20 GB of upload and a similar amount of download. actually you uploaded a very little more than you downloaded, because the buffer had a slight increase of 16 MB.

Ratio is upload divided by download and as long as both increase at par, not much will change to the share ratio.

Then these 15 are most likely torrents with multiple files of which you have selected not to download all.

Go to your Profile by clicking on your name in "Welcome back, …" then scrill down to the Leeching Torrents link, click it to see which they are.

Stop a few in your torrent client. (don't remove, you can restart them after download).

@henrytat: It does not appear that any of the torrents in your profile currently have any leechers actively downloading them. This is obviously problematic for trying to increase your ratio, as there must be leechers downloading the content in order to upload anything to anyone. Again my suggestion here would be to look for freeleech torrents and/or ratio lift torrents to help get you on your way.

@kurtis88: I noticed that your download rights are gone again, and that you have not uploaded your first torrent yet. Did you know that if you upload your first torrent, not only will you get enough upload for getting the torrent out, but you will also get 600 SBP from the First Time Uploader Program (FTUP)?

@btm4rtgy:

Could someone please tell me what is going on with my ratio?  I leave utorrent on all night.  I uploaded torrents but the ratio never changes.

I am having the same problem! What should I do?    :cry2:

Hey Guys,

Was wondering why I can no longer donate using PayPal.

Would prefer to use it than bitcoin or "Stripe".

All sorted…thanks popper still a power user but junior refers to number posts here or frequency and I am not that active in the forums due to many constraints as of late. But should visit more often... 😛

Thanks guys for uy reply. I have found important information from ur replies. I appreciate it and thanks again.
