Why can't i raise my ratio faster?
-
Hello guys, i'm having some problems… I can't seed enough to keep my ratio higher. I leave my computer on all day long with BiTorrent opened. It's really too slow, and i have a great connection!!!.... in 1 week i've been able to upload just 1.50GB!!!!! :-. I have a lot of good files, most of them famous! With the most great guys from gay porn industry =(... What's going on? I don't move the files from the folder that i chose to save all them from the settings of BiTorrent. Also, i never touched the connection settings of BiTorrent. I just instaled it and left that way it came! I have no limits on download and uploads. =(
Someone has an idea of where am i doing wrong?
Thank you guys!!! :cry2: -
Make sure your BitTorrent is connectible, test:
BitTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > select the Network test only and run it. Should return a green check sign, if yellow/orange, your BitTorrent isn't connectible.Give seeding high queuing priority:
BitTorrent > Options > Preferences >- Queuing > set Seeding Goal to 100% instead of the default 50%
- Set seeding tasks to have higher priority than downloading
I'm mentioning the priority settings, because you're seeding only 2 of the about 100 torrents you've completed to download right now.
These two have many other seeds. Chances for upload are higher on torrents with less seeds. Look through your completed downloads list for torrents with few seeds (0 to 2 and preferred with downloading peers) and try to reseed those.
If you got a completed torrent which had zero seeds successfully reseed, write to the Helpdesk with reference to this answer. We should promote that torrent and it is a win-win situation, you will make good upload and a torrent has been saved for the community.

This has been extremely helpful because I am experiencing the exact same issue. That and getting all the emails about illegal downloads. What the hell man!!

oh nice, thank you for help… I did everything you said! Is there some post that talks about reseed process? I have no idea of how to do it! xD.... But, let's see how it goes with these news config! ^^

Rapha, if you want a reseed then press the reseed button on the individual torrent page or ask for a reseed in the Request forum.
If you want to help reseeding a torrent, it is just the same as downloading EXCEPT you already have the file. You download the torrent file and open it. When your torrent client asks where you want to save it you point it to the file that you have already downloaded and the client should say 'Checking' instead of 'Downloading'

Look there for our reseed Guides > https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=6539.0
The µTorrent guide can be used for BitTorrent too.

Nothing… it continues to go slow, or better, is almost completely stopped. I came to the conclusion that it's done on purpose, just for people buy points. Let's be sincere guys.... that's the true. And it's a great act of hypocrisy given that this site is done to prevent people spend money... you're only enriching for the work of others (porn industry). I''m sorry to say.

Rapha:
What you suggest obviously cannot be the case, or EVERYONE would have a low ratio… (mine is >5 as you can probably see by looking to the left). Your issue is simple: The torrents you have are not currently anything that someone else is downloading. If no one else wants it, then you will never supply it... its simple economics... the law of supply and demand.
Here's my advice, try this and see how it works for you (I assume the site is somewhat busier on a weekend, so try this on a Friday night): Bring up the default search page, this show show the newest uploads. Look at what's there, and try and pick something that looks like it will be popular. Download it and seed it. If you jump on a new torrent just shortly after it hits the site, its likely you will be able to join all the "early adopters" who also get the torrent when its new, and you should be able to seed that file to at least a ratio of 2 or better... sometimes I get a file ratio greater than 20 that way.
If the above does not work for you, then there is something else going on that is preventing people from connecting to your seeds, that would bear investigation. (IMHO.)
Also, even if no one is downloading from you, you should still be accumulating seed bonus points, which you can turn into upload credits. Every 2 months of continuous seeding nets you at least 600 points which is worth 10G of upload credit.

Rapha300,
Our system does report your BitTorrent as not connectible. That is very bad for uploading, because requests from members who want to download don't reach your BitTorrent. Actually the Network test in BitTorrent should have returned only a yellow/orange check sign and not the green, but you didn't report that back.
There are a few simple steps to try to get BitTorrent connectible:
1/ I it's connection settings, enable the UPnP and NAT-PMT port forwarding and the Windows firewall exception. Then restart BitTorrent. Test again if that helped already.
2/ Restart your modem/router, the box from your ISP. Test if that helped.
3/ Restart your computer. Test if that helped.
If above didn't help, area to look at is the computer security software: additional installed firewall, anti virus / internet security suite, anti adware or parental controls.
If you got any of these, allow gaytorrent.ru and the port you set in BitTorrent's connection settings for incoming connections.–----
There is as well true what NickGWM said, no downloading peers on the torrents you seed. i've promoted one, it will get downloading peers soon, but if you're not connectible, the other seeds will make the upload.
There are many ways to earn bonus points, for example the "Affiliate" programme. Use the referrer link in (public) forums or blog with an audience suspect to want to download gay content and you'll gain a constant flow of 250 bonus points by sign-up of a new member getting to GayTorrent.ru using that link. Make sure the concerned forum allows such links posting, though.

Well guys, thank you for helping me. So, i have to ask for sorry… i redid the rest, and paid more attention on results, and, as you can see by the first screenshot: at the second part of the test i had "port is not open". So i went to my friend router's settings (we share the connection) and i found that he already did the setups to open some ports, including BitTorrent, take a look at the 2° screen. Now, I'm confused... as you can see, there's 2 numbers separated by a dash. Wich one do i have to pick to put on my BitTorrents settings? The 1° one or the second? Otherwise do you thing is better that i make my own port? Is there problems to use the same one?
-
That is a port range and means all ports from 6881 to 6889 are forwarded to the pirivate IP mentioned in that rule line.
I've a few remarks to that setup:
a) Those are the official bit torrent ports and usually NOT used for torrenting, because too many ISP like to block them or throttle traffic.
b) There is no private IP set ("–-"), usually there should be the local network IP of the destination computer. Typical local network IPs are 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx and to make such a rule working, the destination computer needs to have a manually fixed IP, not an automatically assigned, which may change over time.
c) For your computer bit torrent connection to get through, you should add a line (rule) with the port you use for bit torrent 42313 and your computers local network IPThat said, UPnP should do that fully automatic for you and dynamically. Just make sure UPnP is enabled in your router's setting. There should be a table with the UPnP automatically created rules somewhere in the not advanced settings or status pages.
If UPnP is enabled, you should look rather to firewall, anti-virus, anti spam, anti spy ware and/or parental control software on you computer. Those (might) need a rule to allow incoming connection for BitTorrent on the port 42313 you set in it's connection settings.

Well, i did my own port and set an ip static. Take a look at the news screeshots plz, and see if is everything allright now. Thank you (i change the number of the port again)
Ps: I opened a diferent TCP port for eMule too and since i did it, my uploads there started and no stoping more! However, bitTorrent continues stoped! I'd like to show you what happen when someone make a conection with me in uploads, it's very strange. First it conects with a little speed, then after 3 or 4 seconds, this speed starts to decrease in peak! until it vanishes completely, then again, after some seconds, the conection reappears once again (the same file, the same user), repeating this process for several times, until it stops completely this time. (as if the program gave up trying to make the connection, after failures). Thing that in eMule doesn't happen, there, i can keep the conections with users in upload steadily.
-
Popper, don't leave me plz! xD Is it alright now?
-
Yes, the setup is right. Yout torrent cilen appears as connectible to our tracker.
Now remains as issue that what you seed got (almost) no downloading peer, so nobody to whom you could upload. You should try to seed those torrents from your completed list, which have the lowest number of seeders.
If you reseed one which had no other seeder, write to the Helpdesk with reference to this topic.
