@BummerBoy When a torrent is made free leech it gets pushed back to the top of the listings and is far more likely to get noticed and reported. With that title it could have sat unnoticed, without any downloaders, for many years because I can't imagine anyone using "rare gay movies" as their search keywords.

@ianfontinell said in Can Gaytorrent give me a list of torrents I've previously downloaded?:

It'll only show torrent's that you've downloaded fully.

Note that "downloaded fully" means that you have downloaded all of the files in the torrent. If you've selected some (but not all) of the files, it won't show up here (even though your torrent client shows the torrent as being finished). Also, the system will count this torrent as one you're still downloading.

This happens when tracker is no longer active ...
Failure Unregistered Torrent [remove due to copyright violation/deleted by the original poster/duplicate issues] ...
you can continue seeding if you wish, however your distribution will no longer credited ...

@twinkerzzz said in POWER USER clarification:

so you seem to be saying my searches will continue to display dvd-r content (vob file) and also allow me to download them even tho my 'power user' status dipped to 'user' status ? Could you confirm ?

I'm not an expert or an insider here; I was only speculating on why the "no DVD for new users" rule might be there.

But I might make a suggestion: If your ratio is in trouble, I would hold off downloading from any large torrents that you won't be able to seed back--a DVD posted a long time ago with no other leechers won't give you the opportunity to upload it back.

To pump up your ratio, I suggest two things:

Download a new freeleech torrent, and by "new," I mean something in the last hour. Your download won't count, but any upload will. This doesn't need to be something that you want to watch--the whole idea is to get upload credit. Download a very recent torrent that has many files, and select only a few (maybe 10-15%) to download. You'll get charged for the material you download, but the tracker will send other leechers to you to get the few files that you did download. If you have a good connection and leave your computer on, you can get a share ratio of 10, 20, or higher on that torrent alone. This will help your ratio.

Good luck!

@vbear2 said in Tracker giving response code 404 (Not Found):

I looked further and saw that I was getting this from everything from the site, including new items that I had just downloaded.

It might be something as simple as not being logged in, in which case you won't be able to find a page behind the log-in wall. The forum and the torrent listings seem to have different log-in clocks, and I find that if I log in and then back up the browser, I'm all set.

so what it's a single image generated with MPC

not screencaps/thumbnails unless someone polluted w/ same individual image ...
I am referring to single images repeatedly posted or irrelevant to the content ...

@raphjd
thank you

@randome Looks like this one was banned, perhaps? Keep up the good work pal 😅

Yes it is

@john32123666 thank you very much! Now seems to work.

Im pretty sure the issue is that QTM is trying to connect to gaytorrent.ru, not gaytor.rent. Same issue with manual uploading, if the tracker is based on gaytorrent.ru not the new one, the upload will fail to seed.
Dont know how to solve the QTM one though.

@arlawson
The problem you've described ("most of the time my torrent client never uploads after I download stuff.") sounds familiar to me.

I've found that while a torrent is at a seeder/leecher ratio of 1 to any other number (say 1/50 or 1/100) you will pick up lots of leechers to upload to before you've finished getting the file yourself. Once the ratio tips (the moment when more than one person has the entire file) that's when the seeding drastically declines. That's been my experience. It's important to note, that while the uploading may decline, it's still a good idea to seed for as long as possible even if no one is connected to your client (you'll still get bonus points based on time seeding).

As far as piratebay seeming to have more leechers for you to seed a file to, those and other open access trackers can have thousands of leechers across multiple trackers, whereas the most you'd see for a file here on our single tracker would be less than 200 per file, so that accounts for your lessened upload activity here as opposed to there.

I don't think your router has anything to do with it.

@john32123666 Thank you very much.
It was a firewall rule.

@kulmel36 If you didn't choose to download all of the files in the torrent (i.e., if you de-selected some that you didn't want), that tracker software will consider you to be leeching the torrent even though you have downloaded the bits that you want. This will take up one of your download slots. There's no way around this other than to remove this torrent from your active torrent list, but that also means that you won't be able to seed to other users and get credit for that.

@lololulu19 great idea.. I couldn't have explained it better myself!
