Torrents will not seed once downloaded

Popper

The difficulty with what I propose is, that it means to start activity here very slowly and to speed up steadily.

Most new members want to get much fast …

I have the same issue of not being able to seed. The problem lies on GTru's side, but they don't want to acknowledge the problem.

According to the FAQ, they banned the usual ports used for Bittorrent and want you to fiddle around with port forwarding in your router, even though they could adjust this themselves and open the ports. They rather annoy us users than be user-friendly.

Popper

You mix things up:

A/ We use the port 2710 for our tracker, because the standard ports are often blocked by Internet Service Providers. That is in the interest of the users here.

B/ The port forwarding you need to set-up in your router/modem has nothing to do with the port 2710 we use for our tracker!

C/ The port you need to forward for incoming connections (or use UPnP / NAT-PMT in both torrent client programme and router/modem) is the port you set-up in your torrent clients programmes connection settings. You are free to use the Bit Torrent standard ports, on the risk to be blocked by your ISP.

@AndyZ:

(1) Submit a new upload –-- earn upload credit and receive bonus seed points from other users
(2) Seed downloaded torrents --- earn upload credit and 0.5 seed points per hour

(5) Donate for upload credit
(6) Send invitations to friends for 2 GB bonus upload credit
(7) Submit pictures for torrents with less than 10 total pictures for 1 bonus seed point per picture

1- That would depend on your bandwidth many user's will have a hard time uploading something bigger than clips
2- I agree but 0.5 couldn't it be a whole seed per hour that would be great for the users
5- Is it an entirely anonymous process? I'm speacking out of ignorance here.
6- Don't you have to spend seedbonus to make invitations?
7- I loathe when people post more and more of the same pics, many obviously blown up and pixelized ò_ó besides I per exemple don't seem to be able to post pics above the 60kb size

You mix things up:

You're unable to configure your tracker correctly.

Upload works on gay-torrents.org
Upload works on ourgtn.org
Upload works on rarbg.com
Upload works on publicbt.com

Over the time the problem on GTru has persisted, I changed the ISP and the router. It's always GTru that never works. No ISP in my country blocks Torrents, as download is allowed and they would cause outrage/lose customers.

I tried qBitTorrent and uTorrent, I used UPnP, I set the port in those programs to 15901, upload never worked. I just set it now to 2710 to test, upload still doesn't work.

Popper

Can you tell me what you seed as tracker message next to the tracker announce URL under the "Tracker" tab in the lower µTorrent window?

Is your torrent client programme showing the number of peers available as seeder and leecher for torrents from GayTorrent.ru?

(NB.: Not knowing which programme you use, I assume you use µTorrent/BitTorrent like the large majority)

"working"

Is your torrent client programme showing the number of peers available as seeder and leecher for torrents from GayTorrent.ru?

Seeds: 17
Peers: 8

I don't know what's happening, all of a sudden (since about two hours) I'm uploading to another guy. This is a premiere since months and completely confusing as I didn't play around with the uTorrent settings for a week.

Edit: and as soon as I wrote this message, the leecher is gone.

Popper

OK, what you say confirms that your µTorrent can connect to the tracker ("working") and gets the peer information from it S/L = 17/8.

The effect for seeing leecher being connected only seldom and for short periods lets assume as most probable cause that your µTorrent is not connectible. That means incomming requests from other peers don't reach it. That makes seeding after the download completed quite difficult.

That can be tested in µTorrent > Setup Guide … > select the "Network" test only and run the test. The result should be a green check sign, not orange. Please tell us the result.

I'm having the same problem.

1. I can download torrents.
2. I can upload torrents on other trackers.
3. The tracker says "working" and tells me the seeds and peers.
4. Peers connect but instantly disconnect.

I get flooded with errors like these:
Disconnect: Peer error: offline (timed out)
Disconnect: Connection closed
Disconnect: Timed out

The file I was trying to seed showed 34/17 but I could never seed.

Popper

Did you test if your µTorrent is connectible, see my earlier message in this topic?

If you use a WiFi internet access, try a cable instead.

Yeah, I see the green check mark when I do the test.
Not using WiFi.

A BitComet 1.31 user will connect to me but not download anything. Every other peer connects then disconnects instantly.

I'm currently trying to seed two things, one doesn't have any peers at the moment but the other shows 31 peers right now. I can't get anything to seed.

Popper

Can you change the protocol encryption setting and see what it gives?

Are you using a proxy service?

@Uwe:

I just had encryption off, turning it on is giving the same problem. I'll see a peer pop up and then instantly go away.

For the last few hours, but I wasn't earlier. I am having the same problem either way.

I'll try finding something I have that isn't being seeded and see if I can get it to seed. If I can't get that to work I'll just give up, I am seeding to someone else right now but I'm having no luck here.

Popper

Could you STOP (not remove) all torrents from other tracker and run like that for an hour to see if your µTorrent then will start seeding on torrents from here, please?

daneg

I have uploaded a little now. I left it running for hours and came back to see I uploaded 47 MB on the torrent that shows 0 peers now, but the torrent that currently shows 14 peers has still uploaded 0 MB.

daneg

I am seeding my own file now. It is working fine. Still no idea what happened with the other torrent, but I am not too worried.

Green. Do I have to repeat myself? Here:

You're unable to configure your tracker correctly.

Upload works on gay-torrents.org
Upload works on ourgtn.org
Upload works on rarbg.com
Upload works on publicbt.com

Popper

Our tracker delivers correctly the peer information. Uploading and downloading is done directly between the peers' torrent client programmes and not via the tracker. Therefore it has nothing to do with the tracker, as long as the tracker delivers the peers IPs to the torrent clients.

You can not compare the ease of upload on public trackers like rarbg.com and publicbt.com or trackers without minimum ratio like ourgtn.org or with low minimum ratio requirements like gay-torrents.org with our tracker. We got much more seeder per leecher than those.

I very well can. If you say your tracker has nothing to with the upload, why does it work on others but not yours? Blaming the others, that it's because of the minimum ratio, seems like a lame excuse to me again.

Even if gay-torrents.org has a low ratio requirement, my ratio there is rather high because seeding there works. It's not because of "more seeder per leecher" (LOLWUT?).

I'm so tired of arguing with you. I can fiddle around with firewall settings, my router, any torrent client and I can properly upload/seed on any other tracker, in the end the problem with GTru doesn't lie on my side.

What Uwe is pointing out, is the fact that it is quite more difficult to equal your ratio on GTRU because we do have a lot more users who care about sharing. Therefore it is a fact, that we do have a lot more users who really SHARE the files, instead of having a "hit-and-run" - mentality. While you certainly upload much more on open trackers, or trackers with a low ratio requirement, you have to deal with more uploaders here on GTRU. If you would like to get a decent proof, you might upload an own file on each tracker and compare this after a week or two.

Sometimes it might help, if you name one or two of your seeding torrents ( maybe per private message? ) so that a staff member might get a better view of your problem, or to present some other options to solve you problem. I don't think that complaints will help you very much, but if that makes you feel better, please continue.
