Something is definitely wrong with this site or the trackers on this site
-
I currently have over 200 torrents from files that I downloaded on here. They download no problem but when they are done downloading, they won't seed. ??? Some will seed a little and stall at 20-30% and some won't seed at all. This didn't use to be a problem but for over a year now, my ratios have been dropping and dropping because torrents won't seed. I have posted about this before and haven't gotten much help. I leave my torrents seeding often, even overnight and nothing happens. Are people just not downloading from here as much anymore? Is site seeding traffic down overall? I have since downloaded many torrents from other sources both public and private and they seed and give me great ratios just fine but not on here. Can anyone provide some insight or speak to a similar experience?
Thanks

Have you tried using a different client?
I had an incredibly small upload speed when using qBittorrent (even with correct port forwarding), but µtorrent works fine. -
How do I transfer 220 torrents to a new client?
-
Your torrents appear in your Profile as seeding, so that is another issue, nothing to do with the hosts file, which are very common:
a/ Torrent client not connectible
b/ Lack of downloading peersFor the first issue, consult the help of your Transmission.
-
Like I mentioned before only gaytorrent.ru torrents are not seeding. The rest are fine. How could this be a Transmission issue. They are connected but there are no peers or traffic
-
They are connected but there are no peers or traffic."
If there are no peers, ipso facto there is no traffic.

Still doesn't solve my problem :cry2:

Guess I'm destined to lose my GT privileges

Spintendo answered already on the part /b of your issue, which isn't Transmission or technically Tracker related. It is just a question of offer and demand. Your Transmission is "seeding" (offer) torrents where on most is currently no downloader (demand). Then there is no upload (seeding) of data on these possible. To upload, someone else needs to download.
The part a/ is Transmission and computer set-up related an makes your situation worse. Your torrent client programme Transmission is not connectible. That means, that on the few torrents it seeds where are downloader, their requests sent to your Transmission won't reach it. So your Transmission can't answer and establish a connection with that downloader's torrent client programme.
As there are many other seeder, the downloader will get what he needs from those which are connectible and when your Transmission is offering periodically parts, the downloader's torrent client programme is likely busy downloading from others already and refuse the offer.
That is where the Transmission help becomes important, as it will certainly give support in how to test connectivity, set-up UPnP and/or port-forwarding and make a firewall exception for incoming connections on the port set in Transmission's connection setting.
Remark: Transmission is a good and popular Torrent client with Mac OSX and GNU / Linux users. Unfortunately I've no first hand experience with it and are not of great help to explain who to make it connectible, especially on OSX.

2 things i noticed,
1 my internet provider blocks p2p connectoins and also slowers my speed of upload. so i must use the encription mode.
2 i use an older version of utorrent since i am on Window 2000 and when i have more than 25 files available for upload. it seams that none of them upload, but when i have only 10 everything goes well.
just sharing my experience, maybe this helps.

I have the same problem. Torrents/trackers from other sites will continue to seed after I've completed my download and give me good ratios. I tend to think there is just a different type of user for this site and for some reason the demand is not that high. Which is very odd as, of the four sites I visit for torrents, this one has by far the largest offering.
Or the site owners have found a way to get people to donate to get their ratios up and not lose access by managing traffic…but that's just a conspiracy theory. Doubt that would happen.
-
Site works perfect !!! Make sure the torrent u use is set up right and knows where the files are so that it can seed them !!

Actually it is a side effect of high minimum ratio requirement: This leads to members really keeping seeding long and not to stop the torrent as soon as the download is complete. Therefore there is more "competition" in seeding and it is more difficult for each to upload.
Then the high ratio requirements lead too more offering too ( about 2.5x than the closest competitor in the gay torrents niche). Due to the high ratio requirements, members consider twice to download and these downloads split up on more offers. result: less downloads per torrent.
Members need to understand that their download will improve the ratio of someone else, who then can download more. We need more downloads!
-
I agree with Popper, above. The minimum ratio requirements need to be further adjusted. I've uploaded 1.72TB on this site. This was only possible because I strategically downloaded torrents that I knew were in high demand… meaning that I knew as soon as they were downloaded that they would seed immediately and for a long period of time. This has frustrated me greatly, but I haven't found an alternative within the current ratio requirement framework for this site.
-
This is EXACTLY my issue… i've contacted the helpguys about this, and im afraid they pinpointed to my torrent client as the culprit (specifically the NAT). Ive checked my torrent client and the settings, and everything seems fine (i.e. IP filter disabled, max uploading set as reasonably high as possible). But sadly, the files i was seeding were not being picked up.
Mind you, the first 3 ones got seeded SO quickly, so i never had a problem before. And i never consciously picked those files with high leechers/low seeders... But since i started downloading more than 3 files, then the seeding problem started.
So the solution? Its either i download only 1 every time so as to have enough time to offset the download with the seldom seeding. Or change my taste in videos entirely and download popular vids people like which do not turn me onir at all, just to get my seeding ratio high.
Like you, i could pinpoint a chokepoint in the credit system here, and i could see that the donation option was put in place for those who are really conscientious with their ratios. But that's a system we just have to live with, i guess. :blownose: :blownose: :blownose:
Btw, i havent been downloading for 2 weeks now, just because i decided to join the noble cause of downloading and hopefully seeding a rare 51GB Island Caprice collection... So im afraid im "stuck" at the moment... :cry2: :cry2: :cry2:
The reply i got from our dear friend Ajax...
_*Why am I listed as not connectable? (And why should I care?)
The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.
Although you are still able to download from others, anyone who attempts to download from you is not able to 'see' you and is therefore connecting with others whose client is readily available. This could be a simple firewall exception issue or, more likely, a NAT port forwarding issue:
(from Wiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation
*Network address translation (NAT) is a methodology of modifying network address information in Internet Protocol (IP) datagram packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping one IP address space into another. The term NAT44 is sometimes used to more specifically indicate mapping between two IPv4 addresses; this is the typical case while IPv4 is the majority of traffic on the Internet. NAT64 refers to the mapping of an IPv4 address to an IPv6 address, or vice versa.I'm not totally familiar with the Tixati Client that you use, but I do know it offers an IP Filter feature which could be affecting your connectability.
I use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which specifies I turn OFF my IPv6 address (see WIKI reference above) to be able to maintain connectability, (you can find this in our SETTINGS in Tixati) Not sure if your issue is the same (I also use uTorrent v2.2.1 which is considered the most stable of the torrent clients).
Hope this helps a little but also check your client settings and reading their forums related to torrent traffic. I've done a little research and found this> http://download.cnet.com/Tixati/3640-2196_4-11466492.html?v=1 (which is an OLDER version of your client but maybe similar issues)_

The reply i got from our dear friend Ajax…
Pretty sure that was sarcasm ??? and I'm not really your dear friend (although I strive to be informative and friendly) and sorry i couldn't be more definitive: I can only go with what i see but seems there's others with the same issue and looks like it is being addressed hopefully, to everyone's satisfaction.

Those settings (IP filter disabled and uploading set reasonably high) aren't the first points to look at to make a torrent client (here Tixati) connectible.
The first is to make the NAT aka portforwarding working. The usual method is to get this done automatically through UPnP. It assumes that your modem/router (the box from your ISP) has been left at its defaults settings and you haven't disabled UPnP in ti's settings for improved security.
How UPnP is set in Tixati can be found there > http://www.tixati.com/optimize/router-port-forward.html
I'd recommend to use a port in the 30 000 range
Then you need as well to make sure that your firewall(s) don't block incoming connections on these ports. You may use multiple firewalls: the Windows built in and the one which comes with your Anti-virus / Internet Security. Both need to be set to allow incoming connections to Tixati on the port you set to use for TCP and UDP.
Next I'd reboot the modem/router and the computer, to be sure the UPnP fort forwarding is re-initialized.
If you use a VPN or Proxy service, you should consult it's help and FAQ pages to see if something special needs to be done for port forwarding. I had one a proxy service not allowing portforwarding (BT Guard), causing tracking issues with GayTorrent.ru, then a VPN forwarding "all" ports and now a VPN forwarding only a dedicated port, which needs to be set in the torrent client as the port used.
There can be other security software blocking connections, such as anti-spy ware, anti adds, child protection etc… if you use some of these, consult their Manual, Help and FAQ pages for allowing incoming connections.

Hi Ajax.. no sarcasm meant there.. you really are a dear in helping me out understand what's happening with my torrent client. If it sounded insincere, i apologize :love: :love: :love: and i'd like to say that you've been really helpful to me despite the nagging and repetitive questions i had before. that's why i shared the explanation you gave me, so it could help out others too.
cheers buddy

No worries. :bighug:
To add to Popper's advise@Popper:

My VPN service specifies dedicated port settings depending on which server location I connect to (of the multitude of options, they recommend certain locations that more fully support torrent traffic)
Trust your connectability issues have been resolved.

What most people ( especially new users @ GTru ) mostly never think of is the difference betweeen "open tracker" and "private tracker". To join in to an "open tracker", you don't have to be registered. You just download the torrent and start leeching/seeding. The "open tracker" doesn't care about your ratio and the "jump and run" mentality of some users is a great way for decent sharer to raise up their own ratio very quickly and the good and the bad sharer never have to worry about it.
The contrast is a "private tracker", like GTru and especially because we have a rationator here as well. I would say, that we don't really have any "jump and run" users here, because if they are some, they are pretty quick disabled, because of their bad ratio. So we actually are ALL good sharers here, which results to less upload from each user @ GTru.
Remembering this, you will come to the conclusion, that it IS much more difficult, to have a good ratio when you are new here @ GTru… but during the time, you are getting used to the rules, become a good seeder and the ratio will raise up, even with a very slow connection, because you will CARE about it and don't ruin the community with a jump-and-run mentality. You will understand that sharing isn't meant by grabbing all as soon as possible and only give back a tiny little percentage of it back, but at least 0,5 times of what you actually downloaded from others, best is 1,0 and 1,5 times will give you a small buffer for the next torrents you desire. You might not like the idea of downloading stuff, which you aren't interested in, just because there are a lot of leechers and you might increase your ratio with such unwanted stuff and the final result will be, that your buffer increases as well for your next torrents, you may even reach some goals with that unwanted stuff in your account, so that your limits will increase to download more and more torrents a day. And if you would like to reach such goals a bit faster, you upload torrents yourself, probably even something, that you don't really like, but what will probably attract a lot of leechers.
... WoW !!! That sounds pretty easy and that all sounds as well like a nice community, where users SHARE and don't only think of their own needs... well yes... it IS pretty easy and this is why I am a longterm member here @GT ru. ^^
