Hi.

And then there's those who don't have the courtesy to reply a simple "Thank You" after they got a LARGE seed bonus…. i am talking about one specific person a while ago who had uploaded a small-ish video but one that was exactly my taste, i saw the uploader had been given a warning for too low ratio (he was a newbie, probably his first couple of downloads got him there as happens easily) so i appreciated his upload with enough seed bonus to propel his ratio from 0.2 to 2.5 or something and sent him a PM explaining how to convert the seed bonus into upload credits.

Within a couple of hours he had done that but didn't even bother to reply my PM. Not that i would have requested a reply but it would have been nice nevertheless.

And within another few days his ratio was below 0.5 again. But i did NOT help him again.

I rarely download, mostly just upload here but if i do download i am never stingy with the bonus because i got a ton of it due to my uploading... it is a courtesy which takes noting but a few seconds of time.

Kind regards.....

Hi

No problem my friend. I have previously had very nice conversations with other members of the team and was always extremely happy to be here. Just that today i was in fact caught breaking a rule of which i didn't know it had been changed and that is why i wanted to highlight that one person who pointed me to said rule instead of first banning me and then letting me guess for what (as happened some other place).

Many thanks again for your support, the support of all the team and staff in fact, and a good night from Thailand…..

Hello.

So a rule had been changed a while back and i was not aware of it - as most people i read them once in a while but not too often. As a result i was actually breaking the rules for quite some time - and would have to accept any consequences right down to a ban.

This did not happen!

Instead a moderator contacted me nicely to make me aware of the change, which happened a few months back already, and was even so nice to explain (in a second message none less!) how and why it happened.

And that deserves a praise, the guy in question is xxxxx and i love him for being a real human moderator, no "i am god" complex and no power trips as i have experienced on a certain other site in the past.

This is why i love gaytorrent.ru, the staff here is just simply nice!

And here publicly i promise to check the rules on a weekly basis now to make sure i won't break them ever again.

Kind regards…...

Hi

Umm one should also check the box "torrent description" as for example myself often, if not always, post collections of videos with a list of the single videos' names in the description. I use that method myself to make sure i am not uploading something that i uploaded before….....

Kind regards.....

Hi.

Many thanks for the answers. Yes, this is a really useful feature and i highly appreciate it. I even used it already As i got a bunch of points and don't really need to convert them into gigabytes, i believe i could not even get below my minimum ratio with pure downloading, it would take me a year at least with zero upload and full-speed download I rather keep uploading, it really feels good to have a three-digit ratio.

Kind regards…...

Hi

This is really a great feature and very clever idea, many thanks to those who invented and implemented it

However a question. As i primarily upload here i don't really need to receive additional seed bonus points, although of course i appreciate them. Now is it possible to "re-distribute" them also without downloading a torrent? For example if a torrent is uploaded which i already have however i like the video and wish to encourage seeding such material (shemale..!) or i simply like the uploader if i know him personally, can i say "Thank you" and give points without having to download the torrent in question?

Kind regards…...

Hi

Isn't there a Mac port of uTorrent? That does make torrents rather nicely…. i make all mine with it, and also use in to seed/leech (even at home under Linux, which requires Wine but works flawlessly).

I'd also like to have a Mac.... then run OS-X, Ubuntu and Vista on it

Kind regards.....

Hello.

I think most sites don't give you anything in form of bonuses for seeding, let alone uploading/initial seeding. In my personal humble opinion it should not be required…. people who download should also upload at times, not only seed back what they downloaded but also upload material for others, it's the spirit of file sharing.

I have uploaded a ton of material i had from a whole bunch of other places, i would still do so but currently don't have the technical ability (my office moved to a new location and we don't have a leased line yet - it can take a couple of months!) but as soon as i have a line again i will upload again, and meantime i might even throw in a torrent on my slow home ADSL line which i will have to turn off during nights.

I don't do it for the points but to share with the community. If i could give away the points to others who might need them to get their ratios up i would do so......

Kind regards....

Hi

These speed test sites are VERY unreliable. I found out about that as soon as i had completed setup of the leased line system at my offic and wanted to test if we get the speed the ISP promised. Using the "speedtest.net" site, i got roughly a QUARTER of what we were supposed to get, regardless which region/server i chose.

On the phone with the ISP, they told me NOT to use any speed-test kind of website, but something more reliable - BIT TORRENT. No joke.

So i started downloading a well-seeded (and leeched) movie off Isohunt and within 15 minutes i knew that we get the proposed speed, exactly to the bit.

Right now, at my place, according to speedtest.net i get 984 kbps down, 329 kbps up (all torrents stopped). With a bunch of torrents from various sources active i get about 1480 kbps down and at the same time 405 kbps up - which is because i have throttled uTorrent to max. 50 kB/s upload. Again, this is with a number of torrents being connected to peers all over the place, while speedtest.net tests the connection between YOU and ONE place - and if there's water in the line or that server is busy, you seem to get slow speeds while in reality you get a lot from your ISP. My line btw (if you wonder why it's s much slower than yours) is a 1.5M/512k ADSL, private people can't get much more in Thailand (we have 2M/512k as well).

And before someone wonders again and thinks i'm some sort of cheater re: my ratio, i am NOT seeding here from home, but use a "seed line" with a dedicated computer at my office, seeding on one of the IP's of that leased line there which is to 90% under-used and my boss told me to "keep it busy", and what's a better way than seeding torrents

Best regards….
