Just a couple of small points:

I have seen more posts about problems with QTM than about uploading manually (and I've tried and failed with earlier versions of QTM).

I don't understand the comment about removing the created torrent from uTorrent. It isn't there. There will be a torrent in the chosen file's folder unless you save it elsewhere. But this is not a worry, uTorrent ignores torrent files when checking. The only place where the created torrent is used is in the upload process to this site.

I agree that the most common mishap for first time uploaders is not downloading their own uploaded torrent and using that to open it on their machine.

But once you have done your first manual upload, the rest are so simple, with no extra software needed.

🙂

PS I do wonder sometimes if people realise that uTorrent creates yet another torrent file, usually in a folder C:\Users_'myfolder'_\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent as soon as you open a downloaded torrent file - check it to see how many old torrents might be hiding there - I have about 100 despite clearing it regularly 😉

I noticed another problem with the program before.

I was uploading a collection and one of the files was bad. Instead of returning an error QTM uploaded the torrent, but it was unusable with uTorrent saying there was no hash pieces if I remember correctly.

The relevant parts of GayTorrent.ru's Terms of Service on the Rules page:

(…) Users may not use this site to distribute any material when they do not have the legal right to do so. It is the responsibility of each user to adhere to these terms. (...)

So if you have got a PM which said that a torrent was removed due to alleged copyright infringement and you didn't made a counter notice, GayTorrent.ru has to assume you had not the legal right to distribute the torrent's file(s). Then when re-uploading it again you are exposing yourself to:

(…)  We have a policy of terminating, without notice and without recourse, accounts of users who are repeat infringers of site policies, based on our sole judgement of suspicion or notification we may receive. (...)

Actually we, the moderators, are instructed not to answer questions regarding copyright and DMCA related questions, but to direct them to write to the Helpdesk under the DMCA/Copyright category. Therefore my citation from the Rules page, pointing to their relevant parts.

I had that problem on a machine running MS Vista. Had to run as an administrator as well and even then sometimes I had to run it once and get the error, then close it out and run it again.

you need to run the program as administrator and it will work

Running it as ADMINISTRATOR does the trick

:hug2:Yes, ratio points (via seeding) is strictly a result of your Torrent Client program (in your case, uTorrent) and it's communication with our Tracker Server…

It has NOTHING to do with your browser IFAIK.

It's important too, to remember not to stop your torrents, even when they are shown as being offline, because... when they become "online" again... this is when the torrent data (ie download and upload data count) gets reported to our tracker server, which in turn reports this to our website.

If you STOP your torrent, when the torrent is offline, it's most likely that ANY and ALL of the data statistics accumulated since the most recent successful (online) data info exchange... will be lost.

I have seen our Sysop give this advice for years (without explanation), and I'm pretty sure THIS explanation is exactly why he repeats this advice again and again...

And I pass it along... with explanation.

Hi colin, thanks for sharing.

The usual reason for your problem is that you didn't download your own torrent and start the seed.

You need to download the torrent you posted, then open that as you would any other torrent. When your torrent program asks where to save it, you point to the exact file on your hard disk that you made the torrent from. Don't worry, it won't overwrite, it will check that the file is the right one and then start seeding 🙂

Hi Popper

Thanks for your help, but the problem remains. I´ve tried to do what  you indicated but the login incorrect message keeps.

That typically means your µTorrent doesn't know where the file (typically movie file) you try to upload is on your storage devices (computer, external drives, …) and indeed tries to download it.

The thing you need to redownload from GayTorrent.ru, the small .torrent file you've already downloaded, else you wouldn't see that message from the tracker.

Here the steps to follow:
b]1. Stop the torrent (do NOT remove)
2. Click with the right mouse button on the torrent in µTorrent/BitTorrent's list and select "Advanced" > "Set Download Location…" > navigate to the to the folder which contains the file, respectively folder, from which the torrent has been created, confirm with "Select folder".
3. Right mouse button click on the torrent in µTorrent's list and select "Force re-check". The torrent should check to 100% and µTorrent displaying "Finished" instead of "Stopped" in the status column.
4. Restart the torrent, it shall go to "Seeding" or at least to "Queued seeding"

Assuming the DVD got no copy protection, you can simply copy the "VIDEO_TS" folder into another folder named by the movie on your computer. Already you can share that DVD by creating a torrent from the folder named by the folder.

If you really want to create an AVI, you could use DVDfab in its free version or AVIdemux. Better would be today to create a mp4 or mkv. A good programme for that is Handbrake.

You should know that some VPNs have this site's tracker blocked from certain countries so you won't be able to seed/leech while connected to that specific server's location. The problem can be easily fixed by switching to a different server, usually outside of the US. Try finding something close to your location so that your download/upload speed isn't compromised much.
In utorrent, the tracker's status should say "working" if everything's working smoothly.

That typically means the tracker has an issue and you can't do anything about it. It will be resolved sooner or later.

If you use a VPN / Proxy service, it could be an issue with it, too.

Weird. For some reason after posting this, uploading kicked it! I decided to swap to utorrent after giving it a try as it srems to upload faster.
weirdly it seems to continue to download once it's torrents complete thou…... And the programmes upload counter and this site's counter doesn't seem to match. Eg every 1g uploaded only shows up as 300mb or so on this site.
But oats still better than before I guess

I can't give specific instructions for Tixati, but the upload process described in the generic upload guide is valid:
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=18666.0

What I've described is the update mechanism between the site and the tracker, when a new torrent had been added, so the tracker starts tracking it: each 30 seconds

The update of new announcements received by the tracker from the torrent clients to the site is as well each 30 seconds (uploaded, downloaded, seeding, stopped, started).

However, the cycle time for an individual torrent in an individual torrent client is set to 30 minutes (that is the next update time you see counting down in a torrent client's torrent details view). This counter runs for each torrent & client on an individual schedule.

30 minutes announce interval is a quite standard time for trackers. Most I know use that interval, some longer (45 minutes or 60 minutes), even fewer shorter (15 minutes). It is a balance between server load&bandwidth and having up-to-date statistics on a site/tracker. Stopping a torrent leads to an immediate update of the tracker as does starting a torrent (and the 30 minutes interval countdown for the next update in the client).

I got great advice from NMD, which really helped. I think part of it was that I was confused by the Guide; the other was that the film's file had vanished (I don't recall deleting it) but I got that fixed up and everything seems okely-dokely.

If you haven't seen the movie, you ought; it's pretty wild.

Good advice, but alas - a couple of friends were here at the time. I'da invited them to join in, but they unfortunately don't sail the same ship… damn.

Good assist; Thanks Popper

You would only be able to RESEED if yours were the exact copies of the ones posted here.

You will soon find that out if you download the torrent files from here, open them in you usual torrent client and point to the copies of your movies.

If they are the same it will check and start seeding. If they are not it will start downloading, which you may not want.

If the files are different enough, say in size or format, you could upload them here but do check for all duplicates first  🙂
