Me too! It seems total freeleech I downloaded deducted from my Ratio! 😞

@MrMazda:

Well… To be honest, I did a little more than just request a re-seed... I also put a freeleech on them and/or promoted them back to the top of the list because they were older torrents. This generally encourages users to download them. When I saw that part of your problem was that there were no leechers, I took it upon myself to give the torrents a bit of a booster to help fix that part of the equation for you. 🙂

This explains why today there's no activity going on anymore…

At least now I know that seeding on GTru actually works. But now what? One of the torrents I'm seeding currently shows three leechers here on the website. In Tixati, it shows me "two seeds are available". Yet still no one downloads from me. Is it indeed like vaylon wrote because there are seeders with faster connections available and we are being ignored? What's the point of seeding and a ratio system if we are not treated equally?

@eurisko:

I have uploaded far more than I've downloaded

You have a ratio of about 1.9. That's not really "far more" than you've downloaded.

You may want to consider the time when the download was initiated to completion considering that I began when it was free.

That's not how freeleech works on any private tracker I'm a member of.

It makes your site look shite since the expiry restrictions are so dramatic.

As compared to what site that operates freeleech in the way you want it to be operated? None of them do it that way.

I start a freeleech download, I don't want or need it to expire one hour or minute before I was helping.

Then pay attention to when freeleech ends before you download something.

At this rate I won't get a decent ration.

Seems like your problem if you can't manage your own torrent usage. I've never, ever had a ratio problem here, even from before I had my seedbox.

You're not the only site on the internet..

No, but for the type of content this is one of only a couple that are worth anything.

Hey all, again  😞
I have asked this before, and got no sense with any answers, other than to download a freeleech torrent or two which I did, but am still finding the same problem??  Doesn't anyone leech or take torrents seeded by others from this site anymore?
I've got 16 that I've downloaded, and are still seeding - if that is the right term - and yet no leechers for any of them?
My ratio is also still dissappearing so I'm just asking once again, why?

Oh, so the quote was meant for everyone but it so happened that my username flashes on the post?

i get it now. i got scared too. LOL

many thanx to
MrMazda

now im happy too :crazy2: :cheers: :hug: :hug2:

@gaypraha2:

The only method that is of value is to upload. All the other methods will give you peanuts.

I disagree. if you dl freeleech you can get good ratio look at mine, it's fine. Last month I got a ratio of 118 on Guys go crazy torrent that was on freeleech . I got hundred of Go out of it

I would be inclined to disagree as well. I have seen users do very wonderful things with their ratio with a little freeleech help. I can't help but get the impression from your posts that you would rather just leech everything for free, and never share anything back to the community.

Ask and ye shall receive. 🙂

Thanks so much!  I'd already spoken in PM to you about this but thanks again!  0.1 recovery in one day even, with my download, that is near around 10 GB in 24 hours!  
:cheers: :cool2:S P E C T A C U L A R   😎 :cheers:

Ah… I will send you a PM because I do not want to discuss certain aspects of the matter in public view. 🙂

Check if you seed some torrents of which you did not get all files, if yes, stop (part of) them. Those count as downloading, because a seeder needs to have all files.

If above isn't the cause. Write the helpdesk.

In your case, I believe that the port forwarding fix will get things working for you.

Yeah I have mine up for over 48 hours connected sometimes and id still be stuck at the same Bonus point… 😞

yeah i have noticed too that it needs some time in order to refresh the ratio and download rights status!

you have an awesome upload speed! i envy you, you know!! i can barely seed anything!! have a little patience and you will be good!

take into account that in order for a torrent to be seeded it needs people to download it.So it is not that easy to upload and improve your ratio

@aadam101:

The thing that i hate about uploading is that once you get about 1.0 with the torrent it practically stops seeding since there are so many seeds at that point.

This is not always the case… The GT.ru tracker does not like passive nodes, and places them at the bottom of the priority list, regardless of their upload speed. So... Always be sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer. This alone will go a long way.

Also, if you have a higher upload speed (say, 75KB/s), you'll get placed higher on the priority list for peers. So... Having a higher upload speed when possible does help in addition to making sure that your network is correctly setup. If using a VPN, it is important to know that you are connected correctly to the VPN and that the VPN has that port forwarded to your computer.

If connecting with an OpenVPN based VPN, you need to be using TAP, rather than TUN, otherwise, ports cannot be opened. Also, you need to make sure that the VPN has that port forwarded. Some VPN's like Private Internet Access will only forward one port that they choose, whereas a VPN like PrivateVPN will forward ALL ports as long as you're using UDP + TAP and are connecting to a port forwarding enabled server.

I wasn't looking at the date so I apologise but since I already wrote my post I believe it won't hurt anyone to read it (especially those who are beginners)
