@drekkin Yeah I know what you mean... it seems like more and more users are uploading repeat videos and "compilations" just to boost their ratios so the site is now flooded with a hundred copies of every video... Especially with the Asian themed videos they like to make a "compilation" or collection of already uploaded stuff lol

You can't force anything, torrents are demand related. For example:

If you upload your own torrent, you are the only one able to upload, if one person downloads your torrent there will be a demand that only you can fulfill. Once that person finishes downloading, the two of you are able to seed it. If a third person downloads the torrent, they might download from you both at the same time, or if you have a poor connection at the time you might don't even be contacted by their torrent client at all.

All you need to do is just keep seeding everything you download, but you're very unlikely to equally upload every byte you downloaded for all torrents.

Best you can do if you're really aiming to improving your ratio is sticking to freeleech content or uploading your own stuff.

@silver02 It was kinda obvious that it was a tracker issue, but what got me curious is how could it be QTM's fault... Either you have more than one account or I'm missing something

How to fix ratio:
First @ your profile/Download Buffer: (The Amount of Bytes you can download before Reaching your current minimum Ratio)
indicates the field requiring the amount needed for your distribution ...
SEE: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rationator.php / FOR FURTHER DETAILS ...

EQUIVALENT VALUES: download/upload/[share]
a 500 mb download = (-) minus 2 or more ...
a 500 mb + upload = (+) 1 only ...
Seed downloads ... the system is registering you as a seeder 0.5 points. You receive for every hour [SBP] ...

FOCUS on Freeleech : [sort by size: etc ...]
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?search=&incldead=1&infl=1&orderby=size&sort=desc

Freeleech Option is the best way to get your download privilege back ...
[However freeleechn is limited if your ratio is too low/only one per torrent is allowed]
[you can skip other content that you do not like] known as partial seeding ...
and keep seeding until there are peeers connected ...
select few seeders and more leechers and plenty amount of time ...
Keep in mind that Freeleech will trigger your ratio at the end of 1hr period remaining time ...
[So always prepared in Freeleech duration before downloading them] ...

you can trade your SBP from the traffic:
SEE: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/getbonus.php / FOR FURTHER DETAILS ...

Submit pictures for torrents with < 10 total photos to earn 1 point per approved picture
avoid repetitive picture or irrelevant otherwise it will result in picture spam ...

any other queries write to Helpdesk:

Is it policy for helpdesk to reset everything to give me a clean slate or am I stuck with this permanently?

There's no reset of anything, in any situation. Either way, it can't be a bug if it only happens on your account. What you need to understand is that YOU need to do something to find out what's happening since it's not a server-side issue.

Wait so it is possible my account got hacked?

That's my guess based on the simptom, either someone has access to your torrent files, or to your account, or there are issues with your torrent client.

All that said, you can either reset your passkey and deal with the headaches of it, knowing this most likely the fastest and safest way to solve the issue. Or you can logout right now and wait 240 days for your account to be deleted for inactivity.

With a ratio bellow 1 you can't even have the luxury of deleting your account, if you don't do anything it'll just be a zombie account that's completely useless.

Thanks, I will try to seed freeleech stuff. 😄

@ianfontinell thanks!!! now... how do I remove this post?

It relies and depends on your bandwidth ...
In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path.
Bandwidth may be characterized as network bandwidth, data bandwidth, or digital bandwidth.

The higher nos. of leechers the small amount of bandwidth you share ...

For many users, uploading files is quite a bit slower than downloading files. This is usually normal, because most high-speed Internet connections, including cable modems and DSL, are asymmetric — they are designed to provide much better speed for downloading than uploading.

One thing you might want to check is whether you have a lot of torrents that you've intentionally downloaded part of but not all of. If you choose to just download some of the files in a torrent you can end up showing as a 'leecher' of that torrent and you get treated as if you're permanently trying to download it.

On the main site, if you click the up/down arrows on the top bar you'll be taken to a page of statistics about yourself. If you then click 'show leeching torrents' at the bottom, you'll see the list of torrents that the system believes you're downloading. From your torrent client you could remove some of those if you're not trying to download any more of them, and that might free you up.

They did not count my uploading. Over 200GB was wasted.

@fatfuck Yeah, that's a mistake a lot of people do in the beginning, download too much and get low on ratio, it's easy to happen.

So yeah, if you are below the ratio you can only download Freeleech torrents. My suggestion is get as many freeleechs you can get and leave them seeding as much as you can to recover your ratio. You can also upload stuff and hopefully get some seed bonus that you can convert into Ratio.

Also when you leave stuff seeding for a while you gain seed bonus, which you can convert into ratio, that's how I restored my ratio when I started using the site, all you need to do is click on the seed bonus and it'll open a page explaining it and giving you the options.

So yeah be careful with your ratio, specially in the beginning, now there are so many OF files and they are usually huge those are very dangerous with consuming your ratio, hehe.

@Marqk Delete and upload again!

@john32123666 Thanks for the info. I will try this and see what changes!

"the [seeders] are easily startled but they [leechers] will soon be back, and in greater numbers"

@lololulu19 said in Used to be seeding thousands and downloading dozens.. but now 0/0:

another bug has popped up in the system

I routinely have several thousand torrents available to seed online, and my main screen shows a number in the thousands for available uploads and several dozen which are in an unfinished state.

Now I see that I have 0 for both.. nothing! As if I don't exist.
I have this massive library of torrents to share, but nobody is benefitting from my many years of "hard" work.

As an active member of the forum, I will accept your challenge! I will crawl down my own Internet wires and unclog your Internet!

Honestly, dude, that's what the helpdesk is there for...

My educumated guess is that your ISP is blocking the tracker - either in DNS, or by IP address.
How to fix?

VPN Alternate DNS server (I like 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 - CloudFlare)

@p33nwolf said in Download and Upload values very high:

Is there a way to figure out how these values are calculated?

From time to time all your activities are recorded here upload/download [regarding your bandwidth speed & measurement] ...
