Loading Multi Media Torrents with picture files
-
Personally I am getting a little (a LOT) ticked off with the torrents for multi media files being filed with picture files. The torrent in question that got me started in my rant is a torrent that contains 514 picture files
- 3 of the files in this torrent were multi media files totalling less than half the size of the torrent 1.10 GB. I thought there was a category that was for posting images and I believe this is where these files in this torrent should be posted. Are these people so desperate for bonus and seeding points that they sneek around the rules by putting all these pictures into one torrent so if you want the multi media files you also need to download more than 500MB of picture files to get them? Please….. PLEASE stop abusing the rules and upload your pictures into the image category so those people who truly want them (and I'm not one of those people), where they will be appreciated! Give us all a break so we don't need to waste 500MB or more downloading pictures that are posted in the wrong category! :thx: -
If there are just 3 files you want out of 100s, uncheck everything except the files you want.
In any torrent with multiple files, you only need to download the ones you are interested in. Ignore the rest

I know that I can do that but as I understand it, you cannot then seed the download if you only download part of it. If this information is wrong please let me know and then I will follow your advice. I try to seed for a couple of days until I've at least seeded a 1 to 1 ratio or more before stopping the seeding torrent. But that is not the point, there is a category of torrents for images and I believe that this is where the 514 pictures should be, not included in a torrent for multi media files. Otherwise, why bother to have a category for images at all? :thx:

You can seed what you have downloaded but you will never show as completed (no category vote there
)But just keep seeding what you have got until you are happy with your ratio. You probably have a point about the pictures. Me, I couldn't be bothered to sort through that many looking for the files I wanted but I suppose we should be grateful he wanted to share anything

I appreciate the pictures. They can always be deactivated but most often they are rather nice to have too.

As I said earlier therefore the people uploading can instead upload 2 torrents, one with the multi media files in one and maybe a note stating they have also included a upload of their photos to the images category which if I'm not mistaken is where they belong in the first place. Today I found a torrent with 2123 files 4 of which were multi media and the remainder being pictures. I don't raise this point to gain points ("You can seed what you have downloaded but you will never show as completed (no category vote there") as frankly when I do a category vote I generally give the seed point given to me plus additional ones to the uploader. My point is to have the images in the proper category and not in multi media. Just imagine if we all started to do this and followed your advice to just download the media files and ignore the image files. Besides the waste of time to go through 2123 files just to find the media files, we'll all be downloading partial torrents. Imagine the mess this will create for the site not to mention the ticked of members needing to sort through these torrents for what the want? If that's your solution to ignore the pictures and download just he media files lets just make it easier and do away with the image category and we can all start downloading only partial torrents. I'm sure that will make everyone happy! :hmmm: And by the way cannonmc I have always found your advice helpful and your advice has helped me immensely as I've learned my way around the site and while I respect your views….. I definitely don't agree with you on this issue, but thanks for at least posting your thoughts.... Wrong but appreciated! :ok2:

I agree that 500mb of pictures are worth a new torrent like you describe it.
What I meant was: nowerdays clips/movies come with 10 or 15 pictures at most and so an extra torrent with the size of 3mb is not necessary.

I don't have any problems with folks putting 10 or 15 pictures with a torrent myself and you're right an extra torrent for them would be a waste of time. Where I get ticked is the 514 or worse yet over 2000 pictures with a couple multi media files thrown in!
