Downloads blocked, "Too many torrents"
-
Hello,
I can't seem to download anymore, site says I have too many downloading torrents.
Yet these are my stats:
And I only have 4 torrents in my "Show leeching torrents section":
I've given time for my torrent client to update, I've closed and reopened my torrent client, I've forced tracker reannonce and reverification. I still have this error.
Do you know what's going on and how I can fix this issue? Thanks.

Most common reason for this is partially downloaded torrents that you're "seeding".
If you download a collection, and say only download the videos, not the pics, then even though your client says you're seeding, the site says you're leeching - because you didn't get it ALL.
On the torrent side of the site, click your name in the upper right. In the dropdown, pick Details & Stats. Scroll down to see Leeching & Seeding torrents (active) -- as well as completed and uploaded torrents (historical).
If you have these "partial" torrents you're seeding in your client, you'll need to stop seeding them to get more slots. (Or complete the download - which may be faster!)
It will take some time for the site to "acknowledge" when you stop leeching a torrent. I'd say, give it an hour"?
I know this seems counter intuitive, but if you've got programming experience, it DOES make sense

It looks like in your case, you may have been caught in an old system glitch. I will now go ahead and do a reset for you that should fix this.
That being said, be aware that if you have any torrents for which you have not downloaded 100% of ALL the files in the torrent, the system will only register you as leeching the torrent, which will make it count towards your maximum number of simultaneous downloads.
In just a couple of moments, your account should be all set and you should be good to go.
Lastly, please be aware that when you stop a torrent, it often takes some time for the torrent to time out on our end and free up the download slot.
