How to disable BitComet from creating Padding files in torrents
This option can easily be disabled by unticking the "align file boundry" option when making a torrent.

@john32123666 You're right and I'm confident that that's what I've been doing, but for some reason, BitTorrent is not having any of it. So I tried transferring the folder to the default downloads folder instead and it worked. 🤷‍♂️

It is possible that I messed it up somewhere, but I'm just glad it's seeding properly now. Thanks for reaching out!

@eobox91103 I agree with introducing some kind of system that rewards good uploaders, which would allow them to build up a kind of reputation score that will be displayed on their uploads. Perhaps new uploaders should be restricted to uploads below a certain size, or to a certain number per day, until they have built up their reputation to a particular level.

I know in the past that users couldn't access the former DVD category until they reached power user status. This was in order to protect new users from overzealously downloading large files that would damage their ratio to the point where it couldn't be rescued. This was back in the days when DVDs were by far the largest files you could download here. it also meant that new users couldn't upload in that category either, It seems that when this rule was abolished the reason why it was originally put in place was forgotten.

ugh not the misquote. my forum markdown experience is lacking.

It may also be possible that your ISP is detecting P2P traffic and is throttling it. While the ethical views on this practice are rather mixed (depending on where in the world you are), it is, unfortunately, something that many providers do actually do to their customers when they see traffic that they don't like.

The problem with this comes in whereas you can't differentiate the difference between legit P2P traffic and illegal P2P traffic, so even things as mundane as Ubuntu software will also get throttled, despite it being available legally for free.

@ricknyc This is likely as our tracker requires that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through the VPN to your computer in order to get proper upload traffic. If this port is not forwarded, you may experience all kinds of problems trying to get any upload traffic.

@rendytar077 Please try left clicking the arrow on the right hand side of the box.

The screenshot attached looks like you RIGHT clicked the box instead 🙂

@john32123666 Just tried it on a new torrent I uploaded, and it works like a charm. You are Hero of the Day. 👼

The best way to upload content here is to use | Manual/Upload Page : https://www.gaytorrent.ru/upload.php |
https://www.gaytor.rent/upload.php
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/doupload.php | https://www.gaytor.rent/doupload.php

Most torrent client has an OPTION to create new torrent :
Simply follow the guide and you're all set : https://www.gaytorrent.ru/uploadguide.php |
https://www.gaytor.rent/uploadguide.php

Read this carefully:
Please DO NOT create torrents with following symbols in torrent name: / \ " ' _ , !
These torrents will have problems with seeding on tracker!
Remember you need to download your own uploaded .torrent in order to seed.

Do not seed the .torrent file you've created on your computer, it won't work!
If you use µTorrent, don't leave the tracker url box blank,
just write http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/announce
or you may get "missing dictionary key error" after upload! ...

@Kingoryx

Hey!
i have the same problem
can you tell me how you solved it?
what did you change into vuze
Have you changed the settings on the router for outgoing connections or between the router and the computer?
Thanks fo any tips

@julilam have you been able to fix the problem? i also have the same problem can't select category

you can't seed files if there are already enough seeder/peers connected or leechers from [swarm] ...
unless you're the only seeder ...
and relies on your bandwidth/speed ...

@pmrrk Both VLC and Media Player Classic have embedded thumbnail generators, you just have to open the video, then go to File>Generate thumbnails.

There you can choose how many lines/columns you want and set a resolution of your choice. It also shows the file name, duration, file size and resolution.

@tmsa58

When in doubt, always write to Helpdesk

@WstWngFn said in Uploaded and seeded new torrent, not seeding much anymore?:

Is there a way to make better speed?

NO ... it relies 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.

Upload only ONE NEW TORRENT AT A TIME in order to initially seed your upload as fast as possible. If multiple torrents are uploaded, they MUST be completed within 24 hours.

Very strange... if I had Transmission go show the file in the Finder, then went back into the app to reverify the data, it worked.

It's working now though! Thank you for taking the time to respond.

@Alesaec said in Help with uploading:

When trying to upload anything on the site it refuses to be visible and when trying to seed that content is doesn't work. Can someone please help me understand why this is happening

One possibility is that the files you have created the torrent from is not in the place where all your initial completed download files goes.
