Reseed - Questions and Answers

Written by yngmstr
You are or have recived a request to re-seed a torrent you have downloaded in the past…
What does re-seeding mean? Glad you asked...
When a person uploads a .torrent they are saying to the world... I have this file I would like to share with you... a couple of weeks pass and 100 people have snatched this .torrent, but alas, no one stays around to seed it for the others that didn't grab it right away...
That is where the re-seed comes in. It is a friendly reminder from others that would like to share in the glory of the finished product you have all enjoyed but can't. Why? Glad you asked....
There are times when you may download something and think I don't need to re-seed this, there are 20 seeders here already. As good as that is. You should keep the file in seed mode on your client. If there are 20 seeders, it isn't going to take up your bandwith to leave it sit there and do nothing... but if you leech and run, that only slows it down for the rest of us... Kinda like getting fu*ked in the ass without a reach around... Unlness that is what you are into, in that case, have I got a video for you...
So lets cover what we have talked about so far...
Seed what you download, even if there are tons of seeders...
If you don't like the file, don't seed it... Seriously... Give a comment why you don't like it...
If you are into bears and download a twink video that is another guide...So you like the file... you seeded it for awhile, and dumped the .torrent and you get a lovely little message from the tracker asking you to re-seed it... What to do next? Glad you asked...
If you don't still have the .torrent simply download the .torrent file again, and when you open it in utorrent, STOP the .torrent, right click on the .torrent, select "advanced", and select "select download location" then tell utorrent where the file is. click ok. Now if utorrent doesn't automaticlly check the file...
Right click on the .torrent again, select "force re-check" and if you selected the right folder, and the right file it will change that red bar to blue. Back in bizzness...
Yet you alone have saves another .torrent from going to the seederless grave yard... Remember this is about sharing what we have and that is the only way this will work... gaytorrent.ru has a butt load of great seeders... do you want to be part of that butt load... I am glad you said yes, wait no... well there is always GTN...
Oh wait... I have a couple of FAQ things to cover if you are still reading and in need of more...
Q: What is a .torrent?
A: A .torrent is the file you download from GAYtorrent.ru that alows you to download and SEED, hint hint, the file your little buddy craves...Q: Why do you keep saying utorrent, I have blah blah...
A: utorrent is the only bit torrent client the author of this most so helpful guide does and will ever use... and as far as he knows... the most liked from the users of this tracker...Q: I saved the movie, but deleted the .nfo and pictures that were with it...
A: Take the few minutes and download the pics and .nfo again, add to the movie, and re-seed...Q: I downloaded the file, but have deleted it.
A: Then you don't have the file to seed... Find something you do have to seed...Q: I am seeding the requested file, yet there is nobody leeching it...
A: You might be blocked by the leechers, due to bad transfer info. This can be caused by a number of things. If after 60 minutes you have not seeded anything, and the number of leechers is greater than the number of seeders, simply reboot your computer, and give the system some time to update, ( 10 - 20 mintues ) and try again. This should fix the situation.Q: I was seeding a file, and when I ( rebooted, closed and re-opened utorrent, finished whatever ) it was trying to download the file again?
A: You have moved the file, or deleted it, there is no file to re-seed... find another to re-seed... or find the original file...Q: How do you re-seed something you have deleted, and you have gone over your quota?
A: You don't, you re-seed what you have, donate to the site, or you create a new torrent to seed and raise your quota.Q: Is there a .torrent client that is recomended above all as the best of the best?
A: No. But the writer of this guide, the forum police, and I believe most of the "normal" people of the world use utorrent as thier client.Q: Where can I get the beloved utorrent client?
A: Glad you asked.... www.utorrent.comFin
