      Hello,

      I'm trying to download a Torent but in QbitTorrent I don't see any seedes. 😞

      A message of problems with my ratio and my rights appears.

      i have uploaded a new Torrent but I did it wrong because the file wan't in my shared torrent folder. I have deleted the torrent and I've created it again.

      Despite of having done all of this, I can't download the torrent from your Site. 😞

      Anyone could help me.

      Thanks a lot. 😉

          That was just to reset the (active) tracker stats of that member, to avoid the "low ratio, to many downloads" tracker response.

          @jheremy:
          Are you trying to download the files of the torrent you've uploaded by coincidence?

            Hello @popper,

            As I have previously said I've created my own torrent to upload a film. I did it wrong the torrent because the file with the movie wasn't in my shared torrent folder. So I deleted the torrent I had created from your Website, I move the file with the movie to my shared torrent folder and I did and uploaded the torrent again.

            No, I'm not downloading my own torrent. 😞 I'm trying to download another torrent from your Website. I have deleted also the torrent from your site from the torrent list on my Cliente Torrent. I'm trying to download the torrent from your Site but I can't. 😞

            Thanks a lot for your help.

              Please try to download that torrent in one hour from now.

              With your current account status, you can download only the files of ONE torrent at a moment (with a little luck two). If you download more at once in your torrent client, there will be the 'low ratio….' message from the tracker, most likely on ALL you try to download.

              If you write the Helpdesk, please login prior to it. The e-mail help is for members with login issues only.

                Hello @Popper,

                thanks a lot for your help and for your reply. 😉

                First of all sorry for may errors (using the email, with the uploads, etc)

                I have created 2 Torrents with my own material and I've uploaded them. But it seems there is any problem or I'm doing somethin wrong. I've received a message from your website "You are not seeding your upload".

                I'm using QBitTorrent as a Client. I have the files I've used for make my torrents and Uploaded then in my current incomin torrents. I don't know what is wrong… 😞

                Thanks a lot for your help. 😉

                Regards.

                  That message usually means that you haven't downloaded your own torrent, the one you just posted, opened it in your torrent client and pointed to the file you made the original torrent from.

                  You need to download the torrent from the site, not use the one you made to upload 🙂

                  Oops, sorry didn't spot Popper's replies but at least your account isn't disabled now - one step forward

                    Hello @Cannonmc,

                    this has not too much sense for me… Sorry, I mean:

                    • I have my own file (a file that is the fim I want tu upload)

                    • I have used the "Quick Torrent Maker" and I have configured it with my User and Password in this Site.

                    • I have created and uploaded the torrent OK.

                    So, I don't understand whay should I download the torrent with the file I've created. 😞

                    Sorry about my ignorance and my errors, but I'm new in all of this. 😞

                    Thanks a lot to everybody for your help and your explanations. 😉

                      I think you are confusing downloading the .torrent file with downloading the contents of the torrent. I would encourage you to check out out upload guide, as it explains a lot of what you need to know.

                      Also, when looking at that guide, take a particularly closer look starting around step 4 where it talks about downloading the .torrent file.

                        One of us is getting confused  😞

                        I don't use QTM but I understood it did everything for you.

                        Just uploading a torrent of your own does not start the seeding process. Somewhere (and I thought QTM did this) you have to download the torrent you just uploaded and use that last downloaded torrent to start the seeding process.

                        You open that torrent as you would any other but instead of saving it where you normally do, you point your torrent client to the file you made the torrent from (doesn't matter which folder it is in, you can point your client to the right location).

                        Your torrent client will then CHECK the file and if everything is OK, it will start seeding and you will have a live torrent. If it does anything else, such as trying to download, you have pointed it to the wrong place.

                        Summary: Upload torrent (remember you are not uploading the file)
                        Download that same torrent (this inserts the information the site tracker needs)
                        Open that torrent as you would normally.
                        Point to your original file to save.

                        As I was writing MR Mazda suggested the Upload Guide - I find that comprehensive but unnecessarily complicated

                          Usually this is the case, however if you are not running BitTorrent or uTorrent, or you configure the path to the BitTorrent/uTorrent executable incorrectly when you install it, problems can arise where QTM doesn't download the .torrent file and import it for you correctly. In theses cases, the manual upload process starting at step 4 of the upload guide should explain the basics of how to complete this step on your own manually. If I understand this user correctly, they are using QBitTorrent, which is a whole different breed of torrent client than the regular BitTorrent. This would be why QTM did not automatically do this process for him.

                            The point here is, that jheremy uses qBittorrent together with QTM. QTM is designed to work with µTorrent/BitTorrent clients, not qBittorrent.

                            Uploading a torrent presentation and .torrent file to the site will work in that combination, QTM will download the small .torrent file from the site, but fail to load it into qBittorrent and direct qBittorrent to the data file (the movie usually) or folder.

                            @jheremy:
                            You ask why you need to redownload the torrent, which refers to the small .torrent file (not the movie file). The reason is, that the re-downloaded .torrent file will have the proper personal tracker announce URL (aka tracker) inside. That URL is different for each member, having its personal secret passkey as part of it.

                            The original created .torrent will not connect to the tracker or will generate a failure message "unregistered torrent pass" (which means the passkey is missing).

                            So you have to load the .torrent file from the site into your qBittorrent and while doing that, point the download to the movie file you've got already. Then qBittorrent finds the file and will start seeding i/o downloading.

                              Fair enough. I think I only tried QTM once. I forget why I abandoned it.

                              I find the manual upload simple enough. So should anyone else, especially after their first time.

                              I think my summary above is a fair description of what to do when you are ready to post 🙂
