Disappearing Torrents
-
I'm having this issue where I upload a torrent, check that it successfully started and users can access it. Then, a few hours later, I can't find the torrent. It's not on the My Torrents tab. When I search for it by name, file name, description, I can't find it. I haven't received a takedown notice. The torrent is still showing as seeding in my client. But, it doesn't appear to be available for anyone to leech. Thoughts? Ideas?

@rayban099 Be sure to check the DEAD torrents. Before my uploading rights were permanently taken away (for no reason other than I pissed off a former moderator), I used to have to MANUALLY mark my uploads as being ACTIVE and load them into my own torrent client. Just creating the torrent does not make it active.
These days, I can't even make a torrent. I wonder how many other former uploaders are in the same situation as I am. -
@lololulu19 Thanks for the information. The torrents are definitely active. Users have begun leeching. But, they are not searchable and don't appear in My Torrents. I've uploaded hundreds of torrents over the years. I rarely have issues with DMA or duplicates. This issue is new. It began to occur in the last 3 or 4 days.

@rayban099 The HelpDesk has explained the situation to me. It appears that torrents which are collections were from varied studios and, therefore, violated site rules.
What actually happened is some sites are becoming monopolies and have cobbled together multiple studios together under a single web address. My torrent descriptions listed the sub-studios, which is against the rules. My torrents are working now that I'm properly labeling them.
