      I currently am not seeding or leeching any torrents, but the site says I am.  Any thoughts?  The torrents that show up are really old ones I downloaded months ago.

        One thought.

        Did you download a partial torrent, that is, only some of the files, that is still in your torrent list?

        This will never show here as complete but as seeding. Just make sure you remove the torrent from your torrent client.

        It worked for me. 🙂

          I saw that, but no they are complete single file torrents that I downloaded months ago that at one point did not show up at all.  But when I log on occasionally they show up again and prevent me from downloading other torrent.

            I've a suspicion and taken (temporary) your download rights.

            What is the torrent client(s) you use?

            Remark: I saw 3 different with 3 different IPs on 4 torrents …

              I use bitcomet on windows 10, but i also have a laptop that I used uTorrent on mac osx for about 2 weeks about a month ago.  Did I do something wrong?

                That confirms my suspicion, your passkey leaked. I don't think that YOU did something wrong.

                Over 2015 and this year, I had to treat only perhaps a handful of passkey leaked cases. I don't know about other moderators. Common to them is that all members concerned were (are) BitComet users.

                Personally I suspect the Torrent Share function of BitComet to leak sometimes torrents it shouldn't share. BitComet says "Private" torrents aren't shared through its Torrent Share. If that is true, it does not more than a DHT torrent index.

                All torrents from GayTorrent.ru are private and BitComet's Torrent Share should not share them, if it works as said.

                Remains the question, why all leaked passkeys I was faced with concern BitComet users …?
                (This is a rethoric question).

                Anyway here what you should do:
                a) Disable Torrent share, or if you use this function to get torrents, disable the "Add to Torrent Share when opening .torrent" option  and disable all shares on GayTorrent.ru torrents in BitComets (and add to Torrent Share manually torrents which are from public trackers only in future).

                b) Reset your Passkey in the Profile settings at GayTorrent.ru. This will make all your torrents (including leaked) stopping from working.
                You then need to download a .torrent file (not the data files shared with that torrent) from GayTorrent.ru to generate a new passkey. You can then copy the tracker URL from that torrent into the properties of all your GayTorrent.ru torrents, especially seeding. Alternatively i/o changing the tracker URL in the properties, you can re-download the .torrent files and add them to BitComet. BitComet should claim they are already loaded and ask if to add the tracker URL, say yes. Don't redownload the data, if that starts, something went wrong. Stop immediately the torrent.

                c) Once you are done with a) and b). Post here, so your download rights get re-enabled  🙂

                  So, I disabled torrent exchange on bitcomet and I reset my passkey. Question, will this have affected my ratio?  And if so, can I get that re-captured?

                    Yes, the leaked passkey has effected your share ratio. That is why I had disabled the download rights to stop further downloads.
                    Unfortunately there is no track of history details, so it can't be sorted what was others' downloads with your passkey and what yours.
