Something is definitely wrong with this site or the trackers on this site
-
2 things i noticed,
1 my internet provider blocks p2p connectoins and also slowers my speed of upload. so i must use the encription mode.
2 i use an older version of utorrent since i am on Window 2000 and when i have more than 25 files available for upload. it seams that none of them upload, but when i have only 10 everything goes well.
just sharing my experience, maybe this helps.
How is that even possible I thought Bill personally went out and burned old versions.
Also I LOVE TRANSMISSION

I got my low ratio up by posting and uploading awesome HUGE torrents. usually as soon as a couple people get 100% i rarely get that torrent to go much farther than a 1.5 amount.
the main issue for me is not the ratio- but the fact that the tracker goes off constantly on gt.ru and no other sites- they work fine all the time- gtn and ourgt, whatever- even pirate and kickass. the only one that goes RED regularly is this site.i kind of wish the help desk would just say "i don't know" instead of advising preference changes or making adjustments to the torrent client THAT I ALREADY HAVE SET CORRECTLY.
so WHY does this site regularly have the tracker go offline? it is NOT my provider, or my settings, because NO OTHER SITE HAS THIS ISSUE- and they are all PRIVATE as well

It appears to be a site-wide problem. Just be patient. I think it's affecting all, most, or at least many users.

feels like it happens all the time, though. a few years ago it happened, but only rarely- again it was just gt.ru even then.
just curious WHY?
is it the country the server is located in? what is it about this site that is different from others- location, hardware?
i am NOT a computer geek, so i would love it if someone explained it a little bit- as if they were talking to a smart collie, not an IT …LOL

It appears they reduced the number of allowed torrents … ir its another glitch? I uploaded more than 50 torrents but it shows only 34 on my profile. Can some moderator explain what is going on? :cry2:

What most people ( especially new users @ GTru ) mostly never think of is the difference betweeen "open tracker" and "private tracker". To join in to an "open tracker", you don't have to be registered. You just download the torrent and start leeching/seeding. The "open tracker" doesn't care about your ratio and the "jump and run" mentality of some users is a great way for decent sharer to raise up their own ratio very quickly and the good and the bad sharer never have to worry about it.
The contrast is a "private tracker", like GTru and especially because we have a rationator here as well. I would say, that we don't really have any "jump and run" users here, because if they are some, they are pretty quick disabled, because of their bad ratio. So we actually are ALL good sharers here, which results to less upload from each user @ GTru.
Remembering this, you will come to the conclusion, that it IS much more difficult, to have a good ratio when you are new here @ GTru… but during the time, you are getting used to the rules, become a good seeder and the ratio will raise up, even with a very slow connection, because you will CARE about it and don't ruin the community with a jump-and-run mentality. You will understand that sharing isn't meant by grabbing all as soon as possible and only give back a tiny little percentage of it back, but at least 0,5 times of what you actually downloaded from others, best is 1,0 and 1,5 times will give you a small buffer for the next torrents you desire. You might not like the idea of downloading stuff, which you aren't interested in, just because there are a lot of leechers and you might increase your ratio with such unwanted stuff and the final result will be, that your buffer increases as well for your next torrents, you may even reach some goals with that unwanted stuff in your account, so that your limits will increase to download more and more torrents a day. And if you would like to reach such goals a bit faster, you upload torrents yourself, probably even something, that you don't really like, but what will probably attract a lot of leechers.
... WoW !!! That sounds pretty easy and that all sounds as well like a nice community, where users SHARE and don't only think of their own needs... well yes... it IS pretty easy and this is why I am a longterm member here @GT ru. ^^
The torrents I uploaded myself constantly have the trackers go offline- so saying i won't share is ridiculous- look at the screen shot-
this happens ALL THE TIME- GT.RU tracker goes offline- NO other site (and THEY ARE ALL PRIVATE!!!) has this problem....png)
-
Just a heads up: GT.ru is seeding as normal again on my end. Thanks for fixing whatever it was. Hopefully other peoples' issues can get sorted too.
-
Just to clarify, we rolled out some system updates earlier on today, so there would have been a period during this upgrade that the systems were unavailable. Things should be back to normal now, although I still experience the occasional HTTP 502 error.

It would appear that several of your torrents were removed for being duplicates, which is why you no longer see them in your profile.

My two cents, running Transmission on a Mac. I use an older (2011) Mac Mini, since it has a persistent connection unlike my MacBook.
I have a 20 Mb/s upload from my provider, so I must set the upload limit to about 1024 KB or less so it doesn't get flooded. If it does, the governor basically gets lost and the app becomes unresponsive, requiring a force quit. Basically, this happens several times a week, even with the limit carefully set. Hopefully this problem will go away when I upgrade to Gigabit with 50Mb/s upload ;D.
I also get lots of torrents that show up tagged as tracker error, but often they still keep seeding anyway.
Also, I occasionally find older torrents with a small number of seeders and make them freeleech with my bonus points. That usually generates a lot of traffic and I can get to 4x or 8x ratio or more on those torrents.

The problem is in the site structure. Most userrs cannot download torrents because their ratio is too restrictive. It is like a market with huge supply of goods, but people do not have money to buy.
Therefore, most users rely on freeleech, which as in the example above, are discarded goods that no one wants, but are "free".
In the market analogy, the central bank releases the money supply, so people have more money, and they can buy more goods. When they buy, the seller is happy, the buyer is happy. Everyone is gay.
But political establishment are against gay and happy people :cry2:

I don't quite think you keep on top of the freeleech torrents all the time. A lot of the time you will find gems for different niche markets in the freeleech section. I put them there on a regular basis to keep users on their toes, and to help revive torrents. At some point or another, there is a little something for everyone in freeleech.
-
The idea that the site's experience is about relying on Freeleech, with a lottary element, where to poor users are looking for handouts given to them from time to time, while most of users can watch the rich contents that is not available to them - this is a fair description of the situation.
The ONLY way to gain points and keep the balance is by uploading files that very few (relatively) will use. All other methods have lots of promise and huge disappointment. -

there can absolutely be some amazing stuff on freeleech, but you basically have to check the FL list every day; as who has the SBP to waste to make FL for many days in a row.
i have personally found some serious hotties from FL; and if i think something was seriously hot and has some low-file-size copy, i will freeleech that just to share with others. i need a big red "freeleech this!" button my desk XD
also, a secondary (or main) purpose of FL is so you can get something (hopefully popular, because free and maybe also good) to seed yourself and get credit.
considering putting things on FL costs seedbonus, generally i'd think users will not spend SBP on putting things on FL they dont at least personally like or think they will attract download attention from, so aside from the autoFL and modFL i do think the idea of FL being filled with trash isn't too accurate. it really is a mixed bag… sometimes you get lucky.
and the UL credit you get from seeding FL lets you get other stuff.

It is amazing how the freeleech staff makes you happy. You enjoy the task of checking the FL every day. What a happy task. After all, you are poor. You do not have the SBP to waste, like the fortunate people.
You are the lucky one. wahooo. You found out serious hotties that other poor users did not find. Now you can dream about the hypothetic future event, that will allow you to freeleech something of value, not just trash.
Yes, you really have hopes. hopefully you will get something you may even like. Not just that, you may even get some precious points.
Now, what about a totally new idea? Make the poor users of the site richer? So they will afford to buy what they want?
How about a revolution? change the rules?
