thank you geographer and cumeaternc for your help.

you are great  🙂

We have a lot of plans to improve the Seed Bonus Points. Your suggestion is among them too together with a lot more 🙂

I use to say though: Don't hold your breath, there is much work involved to implement those plans 🙂

@mgr:

Looks like it was an internal routing problem in our data center - but we did not get a notification but a miraculously working server again 😞 🙂

Are you by chance referring to the SMS that I sent a certain administrator?

@Uwe:

Contact sheet with >= 20 thumbnails and each about 200 width or 3 pictures from the movie, clip or picture collection, size at least SD size (576 pixel width, height at least 40% of width) or the resolution of the movie

Please explain to all mods that screenshots of the movie at the movie's resolution is acceptable.  I received this PM from a  :cens::

The set of pictures you have been uploading to certain torrents are way too small. Only upload high quality resolution pictures, at least bigger than the ones you've tried in the past. Failing to do so will get them disapproved, hence, no seed bonus points.

The only reason he saw them to begin with is that the pics were deleted during the upload process, so I had to add them afterwards; hence the seed bonus remark (which I could care less about).  I include screenshots for two reasons:  to show the actual content of the movie and to visually demonstrate the resolution of the movie.  As I upload lots of vintage/older stuff, sometimes the best resolution is 320x240 which produces very small screenshots.

Please avoid insulting names for a staff member!!!

@raphjd:

The fact that someone came back after watching the video and gave you more SB, is an extremely rare thing.

I can't speak for others, but I can assure you that I have returned to torrent listings
to give seedbonus points after viewing videos.
Am I that atypical?
I have no way of knowing.

This one ?

2011-07-08 17:31:54 Torrent 110808 (out.of.hand.having.a.peek.at.orgy) was deleted by proem (broken file. I attached the wrong one. sorry.)

It was me that locked the topic after the ban  :police:

Sometimes that is the best way to avoid further posts from bored people that have nothing to do during the day  :police:

I made my reply less personal …

Uploading a torrent is quite some work, I don't see why someone should do, to then not wanting to finish the job.

Rather than punishment, the first action should be to make the uploader aware that something is wrong and to propose help

In the same sense, every uploader facing unexpected trouble in finish it's upload should contact the Staff (e.g. on the HelpDesk) to see what can bee done. In a first case it could be moved away from the public list, avoiding new leecher to join until a solution and in the worst to delete it.

@cumeaternc:

Here is a sample of what I would send to a "super seeder":

Dear [you],

First off thank you for choosing my torrent upload as material you wish to snatch from the tracker.

The problem is that I am trying to work on my ratio and your upload speed is so much faster than mine that many leechers are getting more content from you than they are me(the original uploader).  Is it possible that you "throttle" your upload speed until I can fully upload my torrent?  If you are not sure how to do this, the support forums have several guides on how to configure many of the popular torrent clients.

Thanks for understanding & thanks for sharing!

Best Regards,
The Uploader

This doesn't have to be the be all end all message but you could tweak it to fit you needs.

i doubt anyone would ever claim my speed was taking away from their torrent ratio. lol
i get 100k upload when all my other torrents are off at best
hahahaha

:inlove:

Until a Moderator not replying to your forum posts approves them. Some are specialized in this task, like others do some forum sections and others again more torrent approval or helpdesk …

This is very true… Although, if we underwent some intense surgery, we could be the next best thing... Cyborgs :lolp:

@tjm7077:

Spintendo, you can still do this if you use utorrent. It's in the 'peers' tab down at the bottom. Granted, you have to actually connect to the torrent to see the details, but it's not as if you have to keep downloading it if you don't like the stats — just stop the torrent and/or delete it.

Actually, this will not give you the complete list unfortunately. Using the "Peers" tab will only provide you with a list of the peers for which you are presently connected. Depending on the torrent, it may not always be possible to connect to all of the peers in the swarm for a number of possible reasons. Again as I said, although it is gone for now, this does not necessarily mean that it will be forever that way. I cannot say for sure as there is no set plan, however it is something that can be discussed among the staff as a possibility to implement in a slightly different manner.

@ballard1:

Hmm… I was following this thread and started to wonder...

So what's with all the music uploads which clearly have nothing to do with GAY at all?

Just because a few gay guys like operas ... that doesn't make an opera gay or have a gay story line.
What's gay about the Rio soundtrack or Black Sabbath?
I see a reason for Lady Gaga but Vivaldi? What's gay about that?
Please enlighten me...

Black Sabbath is so gay…

thanks you two 🙂

@pigtucket:

test - just seeing if my avatar shows up

The forum is a site on its own, embedded into the main site. You've got a second Profile page for the forum. You have to define there your avatar, too, so it shows up here. Look for the smaller blue bar with links below the gray "Welcome back: …" box.

Ah, suckcess.  As I'm sure cumeaternc will agree, "If at first you don't suck seed, try, try again."  :cheesy2:

It appears that there may have been a glitch in the system not showing that you're seeding it. This can happen from time to time. The good news however is that the torrent is listed as visible, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about from this point forward.

Thanks undrlvr. Diligent users is part of what helps keep our tracker safe!

Because of other things going on, there may not be any huge site updates coming up.

Until then you can always PM a staff member and let us know what DVD torrent you intend to create and upload. Any of us would be happy to check for you.

Just click on the Staff link at the top of the page. Look for a mod with a green light and click the PM button beside it.
