Uploading and seeding with Azureus (now Vuze)
-
Hello EdibleAzn,
You are not seeding your torrent (at least from the trackers view). Usual reasons are mistakes in step 8. of the guide.
a) Once you have upload successfully the torrent to GayTorrent.ru, you must re-download the torrent from the torrent description page which will open. Use the "Download" button. It will have a modified tracker URL including your private secrete passkey (never expose that, even moderators don't know it).
If you have missed that step, go to your Profile by clicking on your name in top left "Welcome back, [you]" and from there to the torrent description to download the torrent.b) Once you open the torrent in Vuze / Azureus, indicate as download location your file location. If that doesn't work, put the data files or folder into the Download folder of Vuze before you open the torrent. Then it should find the file and see that you've got a complete copy and start seeding.
Hoping this helps.
Best regards

I have it seeding and when I redownload it says ETA: infinity and stays 0.0 forever.

You are currently not seeding it for our tracker…
Select the torrent in Vuze's "My Libary", right mouse button click on it and select "Show details" and than look at the tracker URL (in blue). Does it look like:
http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/here a long series of letters and numbers/announce
(Do NOT tell us the long series, it is your secrete private passkey)Tell us the tracker status shown lower in the details window, too.
If not, you have not re-downloaded the torrent from GayTorrent.ru and opened it in Vuze, but are using the torrent you did original upload.
As well, Seeding, but not uploading any data and having no leecher is "normal" until the torrent gets approved. Keep seeding it nevertheless, else it will not be approved.

Well I downloaded it again and put it on Vuze, still says 0% and isn't downloading but if it's supposed to be that way then I'll leave it like that.

a simple thing you can do:
remove the torrent from Vuze, now again double click on the .torrent file you downloaded from here and when it asks where to 'save as' browse to the video on your computer and then add the file, the torrent should check and be ready for you to start to seed…..at first it will not start to seed because it has to be approved by a moderator, this is normal so just leave it seeding and one of us will approve it....once approved it will go 'live' for all to see and download......
EDIT: or since you already have the torrent in your client you can follow these steps:
* go to view --> advanced --> my torrents
* stop the file (ie the one you just started and is downloading)
* right click and choose "show details"
* click on the "files" tab
* right click on that file and choose "Rename or Retarget"
* search for the file and click ok
start the torrent again and it should check and then be ready to start seeding.....i repeat: leave it seeding and wait for approval....

I think that worked. It downloaded.
-
great ;D
and just to clear one thing up: it did not download per-se, it did a 'hash check' for the torrent to recognize/realize that you have the video

Hi,
I followed the steps outlined. At first it said "Seeding" now it says "Queued" and the Tracker Status says "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is this normal? Does it say this because my torrent had not been approved yet?
Thanks.

Hello LAMB,
The error message "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is normal, because the GayTorrent.ru tracker does not support that function for non active torrents.
However to get your torrent to be approved, it must be in Seeding, not Queued. It looks like Vuze changed functioning since the last update and causing that trouble. Perhaps of the other (tracker) torrents you have active, raeching already your Vuze setting of active torrents…?
–- Edit 2009-10-03 ---
As I am learning, the right way to have torrent seed in Vuze / Azureus are to make the following settings (actually advised already more upstairs in this topic by another moderator):Preferences --> Queue --> Seeding --> First Priority --> A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers
Queue –> Seeding --> Ignore Rules --> uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers
It may take a while until things settle ( up to an hour).
Another brute solution is to force start of the torrent in Vuze.
-
I just followed the suggestions other people had before. All I had to do was change the Queued/Seeding Options to ignore 0 peers. Tracker Status says "OK" now, so hopefully my torrent will work once I get approved, thanks!
-
Thanks for posting this, I was wondering the same thing about mine! ;D
-
Am receiving the same scraping error message using Transmission. Have yet to figure it out.
-
Our tracker does NOT support scrape …

I am a newbe to this so please bare with me. I uploaded the torrent, or I thought I did, and I received a PM stating that I need to reseed. The Pm gave me a link that was broken. I asked for a proper link and was told to reset my password and clink the link again. NOTE: I received an Email stating the Admin would need to approve the uploaded torrent. What am I miss and what do I need to do to fix it so that I can upload and download?

Here the steps after uploading the small .torrent file:
1/ Once you have uploaded successfully a torrent through the web form, you will be directed automatically to the description page.
There is a "Download" button, re-download the small .torrent file by clicking on it. [1]
2/ Then Open it in your torrent client programme. A pop-up window should display (depends on the torrent client programme you use and the options set) indicating the download location, browse to the (movie) data file or folder and confirm.
3/ Start the torrent. It should make a short check to 100% and start seeding, if it starts downloading, stop the torrent. Your client does not locate the (movie) data file(s) .More details depends on the torrent client programme you are using, but you need to indicate which you are using.
[1] You'll receive a system PM, too with a link to that description or go to it from the list of uploaded torrents in your Profile. (to go to your Profile, click on your name in top left "Welcome, back, …"

Hallo mates :
me thinks I have some difficulty trying to offer some video torrents - i followed these directions to the letter ( I think )
the first offer never got approved - as it was not seeding - I found the torrent icon from azureus ( in my library ) and clicked it - now it would appear - if the torrent were healthy - I would be downloading my own created torrent - is this correct ( health ) red ( tracker ) ok dht
I made a new offering last nite - followed directions again - this time the file immediately appeared in my Azureus seeding section ( health ) blue (tracker ) ok dht
anyone have an idea how do I correct this - or what is doing /
cheers in advance -
Hello nomadix,
Your torrent arrived well on the tracker and for approval, but you are not appearing to upload (seed) or download (leech) it.
If it is running in your torrent client programme (Vuze/Azureus), it means you use the small .torrent file which you created and not the re-downloaded .torrent file from GayTorrent.ru .
Here what to do:
1/ Stop the torrent,
2/ remove it from your client including the .torrent file (but NOT the data!)
3/ go to the torrent description and "Download" the .torrent file from there [1]
4/ when you open it in your torrent client programme, usually a window pops up with the download loacation, press the button to change it and navigate to your movie files location, set it as the download location. Confirm
5/ Restart the .torrent[1] = you can find it from the Profile page (click on your name in top left "Welcome back, …") or from the PM confirming the upload and inviting you to redownload the .torrent

I am using Vuze and have followed the steps in this thread. I have just joined GAYtorrent and downloaded my first file and it it not seeding.
The status now says "Forced Seeding".
tracker status says "OK"It is not uploading. Is it because it says "0(0)" under peers? I did change the preferences by unchecking the box for "Ignore torrents with 0 peers".

the torrent you were seeding has 0 leechers which means that there is no one downloading it and therefore you will not seed anything….
(only if there are leechers will you seed something)i suggest you download a newer torrent with many leechers and less seeders so that you don't get into ratio problems (the risk of which is quite high since you only have a download amount so far)…

Dear Moderator,
I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. I followed the instructions as closely as I could. Appearantly, all of my uploads aren't seeding.
This is what I tried to do:
I go to one of my uploaded torrents I press ‘download’ and ‘open’ and then Vuze says the torrent already exists. When I click ‘download’ and ‘save’ my torrent map is being showed. I press save, and since it’s already in there it says ‘torrent exists already’. And then I still replace it. After that I again open the torrent and I get the same ‘torrent already exists’.
But when I select the torrent in Vuze's "My Libary" and I click the right mouse button on it and select "Show details" the tracker URL (in blue) is the right one, but below behind ‘Tracker status’ it says ‘Scrape error, file not found (I translated this because it says that in Dutch).
Could this be the problem? Otherwise I really don't know what's going wrong here!
I really hope you could help me!
Yours,
Lucas
(Sorry for my poor English)
