      I have just uploaded a new torrent and receive the System generated message telling me that my torrent need to be verify by a Moderator before it will appear on the front page. It's now almost an hour later and it still has not show up on the front page. There's currently 153 people online. Normally I would have 5-10 people downloading the new torrent.

      I understand that this new measure is to help keep in check the number of duplicate torrents. However, Moderators have a life and can't be on at all time. Meanwhile the uploader sit and wait hoping something will happen soon. Perhaps a better way would be letting ordinary Users help manage checking duplicate torrents.

      If you can implement a system like Digg so when someone find/suspect that a torrent is duplicate/not allow then they can hit the Report link. When a torrent get reported 3 or more time within the first 12 hours (or pick a different number), the system will automatically remove it from front page but so no one else can start a new download it while the people who currently downloading can continue to do so.

        We check for more than just duplicates, and if you had been seeding your new torrent it would have been approved.

            this happened to me also around the same time….

            🙂 i spent two weekends trying to upload ok i made mistakes but i got the last one right.I was 36hrs uploading and then told i was not seeding,and the torrent was deleted by the system.
            In the last nine days i have uploaded 3 films to another site the firs one was snatched 3 times only after 2 hrs of uploading ( ok it was only 135 mb ),mainly to see if it was me or not.they have now been snatched over 1450 times.
            Perhaps this is why there are not so many new torrents here ,have not downloaded any new from RU for some time.
            Chris.

              most of the torrents arent approved cause the people have low bandwidth and leech/seed many other files…

              if we would approve them all.. you would complaign, that you cannot leech them till the end... cause the uploaders are gone, or at low speed...

              we try to get our content better.. even if we loose some of the new files.. (but they would not make you happy)

                So does this mean that we should not use our UL bandwidth to seed DLed files while we are waiting for verification??
                I can understand that there will be delays, as mods & admins can't be constantly looking out for new posts.. raphjd needs the odd hour off to polish his helmet.. his forum-police helmet.. & Tom has to time off to feed his leather body harness so that it doesn't feel like sandpaper against his nipples [or so that it does :whistle:].. but I hate my UL bandwidth not being used.. I have this vision of my ISP sending the paramedics around to see if I'm ok if I'm not ULing at my max 24/7..
                I've been waiting for over an hour for an UL approval & I'm starting to get an anxiety attack.. I can hear the ambulance coming..

                  are we supposed to check for other versions before uploading, the thing is there are far too many rules to follow on this site and when someone new gets it wrong, well that speaks volumes.

                      We could always go back to the old way, give out warnings, instead, not verify content, and be shut down.

                      If you can't read half a page of rules for new torrents, there is a serious problem here.

                      The reason the amount of new torrents is less, is because we are nipping it in the bud. Users that constantly seed tons of new torrents at a time, at 5kb total, are no longer able to. The list might be shorter but it is a lot cleaner.

                        At the moment, we have 28 uploads that have never been seeded and 9 uploads were the uploader is running multiple torrents.

                        That's 37 new torrents we could have IF the uploaders followed the rules.

                          I bet alot of them are from the same user too.

                          "are we supposed to check for other versions before uploading, the thing is there are far too many rules to follow on this site and when someone new gets it wrong, well that speaks volumes." Yes, just do a search for the movie's name if it doesn't show up, you can go ahead and upload it.

                          The rules, condensed:
                          1. No other active torrents from this site.
                          2. No kiddie/straight/snuff/beastporns.
                          3. Dupes are allowed if there's a quality difference. (A DVD is on the site but you have an avi)

                          "If evolution is true, why hasn't my mac given birth to a PC? I mean we all know that PCs are better than macs"
                          Seedboxes are cheating.

                            Hi All,

                            This is my first post - but I have been downloading some stuff from this great site since the past few weeks.

                            On Topic: I have just added two clips to be uploaded and have not yet received any reply from a Mod. Actually I may be able to upload for around 7-8 hours a day - and what if by the time the Mod gets time to check and my torrent isn't being seeded? Then it gets deleted off. But if autoapprovals were provided, I would be able to seed 2 to 3 copies in 7-8 hours (the files are approx. 200 MB each).

                            So kindly assist. Also different time zones are also an issue, I may be asleep in India while the Mod is checking out the torrents!

                              @wongnog:

                              Okay well I understand the importance of these new rules… But I myself just got a warning msg for having a ratio below 0.35. I was down to 0.34 but raised it to 0.347 by seeding a completed torrent. Now I'm trying to upload my first torrent to really raise my ratio, but now I have to STOP seeding my completed torrent while waiting for mod verification? C'mon that's just silly. That's counter-productive to the whole notion of sharing and seeding. Right now it's been 90 mins and no approval... If I have to wait longer, well then I'll be all the more inclined to leave my ratio the way it is and share my torrents elsewhere.

                              Mods please! Relax the rules here or you're going to lose your entire community.

                              Why cant you seed till you reach 0.35 then upload your new torrent?

                                Non seeded torrents stay in the system for 7 days before they are automatically deleted.

                                If it shows up as seeded before the 7th day and there are no other issues {dupes, illegal files, etc}, then it will be approved.

                                      I guess we should just let anything be uploaded, no matter if it's seeded or not.

                                      I guess quantity is more important that quality.

                                          I'm all for the new rules. I, for one, am sick of wasting bandwidth on torrents that never complete. Also, I had to spend 6 weeks downloading a DVD ISO from another site - that was plain annoying.

                                          I've uploaded my first torrents since the verification rule has started, and all have been approved quickly and without problem, as I follow the clear upload rules. They really aren't that difficult.

                                            if THE OTHER SITE is gaining people who arent willing to follow or even read the rulles i feel very sad for the other site..

                                            many of those "uploaders" not even read ther PM's they get from us , trying to help them fixing there issues.

                                            one of those rules also say: YOU HAVE TO SEED 24 HOURS or at least as long other seeders are avail.. if some of you cannot wait, please stop uploading….

                                            hope the rest of us who are able to follow our rules will continue enjoying our quality content.
