@eobox91103 thanks for the award

About your findings:

Windows itself does not “fence off” or reserve disk space based on a file's self reported size. Most torrent clients do not pre-allocate by default. Instead, they create sparse files: files that have a full logical size (e.g. 30 GB) but only consume disk space for the pieces that have actually been downloaded.

This means nothing prevents you from starting two 50 GB torrents with only 50 GB free, both will download simultaneously until the disk fills up, at which point they will fail.

For example:

You have 100 GB free
You start downloading a 10 GB file
At 50% completion, only ~5 GB of disk space has been allocated
You still have ~95 GB free

Even though half the file does not exist on disk yet, when reading the file, NTFS returns zeroes for the missing regions, as most user-level applications cannot observe “holes” in files, including Windows Explorer. There are backup tools that can copy sparse files exactly, without zero-filling the sparse regions.

When you copy such a sparse file using Windows Explorer, the copy process reads the entire logical file:

Real data for downloaded pieces
Zeroes for sparse regions

Those zeroes are then written to the destination file, causing full physical allocation. The copy is no longer sparse and now consumes the full disk space.

So when you say that copying folders to backup drives doesn’t waste space, that’s true for completed files. But copying an incomplete sparse file expands the holes and wastes space by filling them with zeroes.

In normal backup workflows, this is not a concern because completed files already have their full data written. Logical size and size on disk will naturally be very close. For complete files, the Size on Disk will usually be greater than the file size itself, things like the file name and path length can increase the size on disk by a few bytes, for example.

So in short, I hope you're not backing up incomplete files, and if you're not you're all good

@amelia your brain is tricking you, you think you downloaded 28TB and after deleting the files only 16GB were deleted. What happened in reality is that, you only downloaded 12GB all this time, the 16GB only refer to the amount of bytes that you never downloaded.

If you have deleted the folder with all its files, you have freed up all the space that those files were taking.

Like I explained before, in your head you are thinking: the folder has 28GB, if it's taking 12GB on my disk then I must have deleted 16GB.

That is not what is happening, the files that should be taking 28GB from your storage are only taking 12GB, because you never finished downloading them, you only downloaded 12GB out of 28GB. You still have 16GB left to download. So if you delete the folder right now, it will free 12GB. If the files are taking 12GB on disk, then 12GB is all there is to be freed once you delete them.

To put it more didactically, let's pretend you have a disk with 100GB of free space. You download a torrent that totals 30GB. The torrent folder size will say 30GB, and size on disk close to 0 bytes. You still have 100GB of free storage in this moment. As the download progresses, the free space will decrease. Once you download 10% of that torrent, folder size will still show 30GB, but size on disk will have increased to 3GB. Your free space will now be 97GB.

If you delete all the torrent files at this stage, you will be deleting those 3GB, going back to 100GB of free space.

So to be as clear as day, if you have successfully deleted the folder and its files, you have already recovered all the space that there is to be recovered. There is no need to do anything at all, no de-fragmentation, no nothing. If you were expecting to free more space than what you actually got, you likely had a misconception of how incomplete torrents are stored.

Reinforcing: if you can still see a folder that says "size on disk: 12GB" you have not deleted all files! Once you delete that folder, you will get 12GB back.

If you still think there's something that I failed to explain, feel free to ask and I'll do my best.

@eobox91103 if the folder is gone, essentially you freed up all the space there is to free, but to be more technical, there might be residual temporary files left, but it wouldn't be practical to track them, and not even worth the effort since those files are usually really small, just a few megabytes most of the time.

those temporary files are created when you partially download, that is, when you leave a few files unchecked, some parts still need to be downloaded and those are stored in special files that might not be in the same directory, so deleting the folder itself not always deletes those files.

to avoid this, when you intend to delete a torrent and all of its files, it is best to do it from the client's interface.

but again, very negligible values for the most part, not worth worrying too much about.

@puw17333 if the progress stays at 0% when you add the torrent, it means you are set the download path to the wrong location. i say this because, even if the torrent is not registered in the website, when you add the correct download path it will always show 100% progress because the files already exist in your machine. If it shows 0%, you are setting the download location to a different place.

What client are you using?

To put it more clearly, if you are uploading a folder, for example "D:Users\Lucas\Downloads\Clark" you must set the download path to "D:\Users\Lucas\Downloads

If you set the download path to "D:\Users\Lucas\Downloads\Clark it will never start seeding!

Using QTM, if you are going to upload one single file, check "upload file" and then click the three dot button, navigate to the file you will be uploading. Example:

After you have finished uploading your torrent using QTM, you will need to go here: https://www.gaytor.rent/mytorrents.php

Download the torrent you have just uploaded, add it to your client, set the download folder to where the file is located, and enable the option to skip hash check. Example:

Following these steps, the torrent will start seeding immediately.
If you are using qbittorrent or utorrent, you can use GUU instead of QTM, as it allows you to add the torrents to your client automatically.

If you are uploading a folder with various files, you must set the download path to **where the folder is located.

In this example I am uploading a folder named "Clark" that is located at "D:\Users\Lucas\Downloads" so inside my torrent client, when I add the torrent I created, I must set the download path to that location.

Do not set the download location to INSIDE the folder you are trying to upload, it will not work.

And don't forget, after the download is finished using QTM or GUU, if the torrent is not added automatically to your client, you must go the mytorrents.php page, download it, add to your client and set the download path correctly.

@Heliumeow-0 if the redirects only start once he submits his login details, the problem is most likely with his account, in this case he'll have more luck by sending a helpdesk ticket asking for assistance, in the main site.

One thing that I can advise you to NOT do is ask for his login credentials and trying to login from your IP. This would indeed be useful to confirm if it's a user-specific problem, but it would flag the two accounts in the tracker's system and the two of you would end up banned.

If you trust each other enough, you can try to test his login but make sure you use an IP you are sure you've never logged in from with your own account.

@amelia

Let's first explain a common misconception about Windows and how it handles disk allocation: The size property is logical, it shows the total amount of bytes that the files will take once they are fully downloaded. Size on disk is the actual size they are taking right now. This is the normal behavior, it works like this regardless of whether you're using an HDD or a SSD.

If you are seeing 28GB and 12GB respectively, this means that you have partially downloaded files sitting in your disk. Those files alone are taking 12GB, but when they are fully downloaded, they will take up 28GB.

So no, you have not freed up 16GB, those 16GB are what you are still left to download in order to complete those files you have.

If you had more files in that folder and they were successfully deleted, this means that the folder was once taking more than 12GB on your disk.

To avoid similar problems in the future:

Always stop the torrent before moving or deleting its files:
Regardless of whether a file was fully downloaded or only partially, trying to delete it while the torrent is running might prevent them from being deleted. Incomplete files are locked by the client to prevent them from being deleted or moved before completion, while completed files can be locked if they are being seeded in the moment.

The maximum amount of bytes you will recover when deleting a torrent can only be the value reported by Size on Disk:
Some torrent clients will pre-allocate all the torrent size, so you will see Size on disk: 28GB even before you have downloaded a single byte from that torrent. This is optional, most clients allocate bytes as they are downloaded.

Without pre-allocation, if you have a 28GB torrent and you only downloaded 5% of it, the size on disk will be 1.4GB. Completely deleting this torrent therefore will only free up 1.4GB.

With pre-allocation enabled, on the other hand, a 28GB torrent will immediately take 28GB of effective size on disk, even without completing any file. In this case, completely deleting the torrent will free all 28GB that it pre-allocated.

And finally, if you stop the torrent in your client's UI, you can go back and delete that folder at last.

@KryptoKnight the URL to check tracker status is https://tracker.gaytor.rent/stmdd in case you need it in the future, if you try to access it from your link from a regular browser it will always return a 404 even when the tracker is working

@frostycab lol same, played it last year from dodi repacks and started it again today from epic, main story is super boring it's so frustrating, but sebastian and ominis' storyline makes the whole game worth it

@iicsuu it is not real time, might take several minutes for the traffic to be updated in the tracker

buongiorno please: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=d5249849bf7a9cf88cca2248b61a61e333924c54fa2fe638

@romantyke let me ask tho, is it more of a voyeuristic kink? from the way you put it, it makes me think it's something you get a hardon purely from your imagination, in a sense that it is not really the cigar, or the smell, or the taste, but purely what you see. do you actively seek men who smoke? or is it something that works best from a distance?

@no4786 yeah it just means web stuff, the stylized writing is probably a signature so that you know all those torrents are authored by the same member.
