      My profile says

      You downloaded 0 torrent(s) in the past 24 hours
      You are allowed to download 3 torrent file(s) per day. This is based on your share ratio of 0.022 and 0 uploaded own torrent(s).

      and the orange box says

      Until your ratio has been fixed, you will only be allowed to download one file at a time.

      But when i try to download something it says my download rights are taken.

      I don't know if i'm missing something or misunderstanding.

        If you click on your profile name to check your current stats you will see that you need to seed at least 1.03 GB to reach your minimum ratio to continue downloading.
        You have several options to fix this (I had a tough time at the start too, but it's possible):

        The simplest (but it takes time) is for you to build up your seed bonus points- just keep your computer on, and your bonus will slowly go up. If you post on the forums (like this) you will also receive points. Just don't spam. Once you hit at least 300 points you can convert and up your ratio.

        The other way which is faster is for you to upload at least one video- this will allow you to get 600 bonus points. For more details and to claim your points, check thisĀ  link out: https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=20636.0

        Also, consider taking advantage of freeleech offers to help improve your ratio. They have some good files you can download there without reducing your ratio.

        Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.
        But shout it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

            Also, you can built up points by voting for categories for the torrents you have already downloaded. Just go to your user details page, and click on the "Show Completed Torrents" link until a list shows up. Click on each of the torrent links there, and you'll see a "vote" thing written somewhere at the top of the individual torrent's page. Vote for 1-5 categories for each torrent and you'll receive 2 seedpoints for each torrent you vote for (choosing 5 categories won't give you more seed points that voting for just 1, so only vote the ones that actually describe the file of the particular torrent).

            This is a good thing to do if you take advantage of the freeleech torrents: download as many freeleech torrents as you want without being afraid of reducing your ratio, then vote for categories for those torrents once you successfully download them: the more torrents you download, the more "category voting" you will have to do AKA more seedpoints!

              The first quoted information referrers to the amount of .torrent files you can get within a gliding 24 hours window (with download rights). Without download rights you still can get .torrent files of your own uploads, of torrents you've completed (to reseed these two kinds) and freeleech torrents. Those even don't count against that amount of allowed .torrent files per 24 hours.

              The second quoted information refers to the amount of at the same time downloading torrents from GayTorrent.ru in you client. (Please note that torrents of which not all files are downloaded will be seen as leeching/downloading by the tracker, even if you got all selected files and seed them.)

                    I know I'm chiming in a little late here, but do not get confused with regular downloads and freeleech downloads. Regular downloads will not work when your download rights have been taken, however you can download freeleech torrents, as long as you download them one at a time.

                    Freeleech torrents do not count towards your download total on your ratio, so they do not lower your ratio by downloading them. They do however give you upload for anything you upload on them, even while downloading them.

                          Asuming you use a torrent program, leave it on and allow the torrents to be shared (basicly dont delete/move the downloaded files and torrents)

                            take into account that in order for a torrent to be seeded it needs people to download it.So it is not that easy to upload and improve your ratio
