15 torrent leaks
-
I have a problem with downloads.
I can't download new torrents because there are 15 torrents leaching, but that's not true.
I tried restarting the client, stopping some of these torrents and deleting some that I didn't like.
The problem is still there.
How can I solve it? -
@prokrin they don't teach this anywhere, it really is annoying of the site staff:
the tracker will only mark your download as completed IF you download ALL files from the torrent. That is, if you leave any file unmarked, the download will never be marked as completed.
Your client will report to you that it's finished and that you are now seeding. But to the tracker, you are still downloading. As long as you keep this torrent running, it will consume one download slot, and we only have 8.
Yep, 8 is the maximum, the site says it is 15 but that's just a very old message that nobody ever bothered to update.
You need to pause all torrents that you have only partially downloaded. After you pause them, it can take from a few minutes up to 1 hour for them to disappear from your "download" slots.
