We have had these requirements for some time. The problem comes in where torrents are coming in now faster than we have the manpower to process, and as the result, the default is to accept all torrents right away. The trouble here comes in that unlike in the old method where torrents needed to be approved first, there is not much we can do to enforce the rules right off the top. When we receive reports about content that isn't right, we can usually address those concerns, however it is simply impossible to police every single torrent. Rest assured though that when we do get complaints and they are determined to be valid, for some users we actually take away their auto approval for that very reason.

It should be noted that your torrent client only updates with the tracker once every 30 minutes for each torrent. As such, there is a delay in your stats updating. On that note, with most torrent clients, when you close your torrent client or otherwise stop a torrent, any data that has been transferred since the last tracker update is generally lost. So closing and re-opening your torrent client is part of the problem.

As well, the stats on the site only show the total amount transferred for the current session. If for some reason you stop your torrent and restart it, the stats associated with that torrent on the site will reset back to zero until you transfer more.

Use of a VPN should not affect your stats at all, however if you use a proxy server on top of the VPN, this may explain the issue as proxies do not allow for proper traffic flow for new connections back to your system (among other reasons).

@bijicjic This can also happen if you're using Windows XP. Due to some security upgrades and the lack of updates to support them in Windows XP, you are now unfortunately limited to using the non-SSL tracker. You can do this by disabling the SSL tracker option in your profile.

As well, you can change the tracker URL manually on your torrents by modifying the beginning of the URL

change this:
https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/

to this:
http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/

@saymyname109 Yes... Two torrent clients on the same computer, or two computers with the same or different torrent clients on the same IP address is not a problem. The system will give you no issues with this.

The only time the system will give you an issue is if you use two accounts on the same device/IP.

It seems our server needs some precussionary maintenance.

For those of you who don't know, precussionary maintenance is the technical term for smacking something until it works.

We do not offer the option to park accounts. That being said however, it takes at least 180 - 240 days of inactivity to have your account removed for inactivity. Not logging in for 2 or even 3 months will not cause your account to be lost.

@urotterhalf Helloooooooo nurse! I am just up the 401 from you in Kitchener. #WOOF!

@my5butt I would be very careful with a free VPN. Not all VPN providers are the same, and if it's a free VPN, the chances of actually being protected in all instances in case of copyright trolls is not guaranteed.

When it comes to VPN service, you get what you pay for. I strongly recommend using a paid VPN for a few reasons. Just make sure that you do your homework on your VPN before signing up, as not all VPN's are created equal.

I have discovered a rather interesting twist to the website. When noticing what appears when making a forum post (see attachment), I find this very interesting.

I am running on Windows 7 (version 6.1.7600) Ultimate x86 Build 7600 (VLK) in Canada. Within North America (unlike some parts of Europe where the release is actually Windows 7 Ultimate N), this operating system comes with Internet Explorer 8. As it is not possible to downgrade from the pre-installed version, I do not understand why these forum posts are indicating that I am running Internet Explorer 7, which was only available in Windows XP.

Is there some reasoning as to why the forum posts indicate Internet Explorer 7.0, when I'm running Internet Explorer 8 (full version ID: 8.0.7600.16385)?

@leo2003 The other option is you can finish downloading ALL of the files in the torrent, however this will obviously have an impact on your ratio.

When you do not download 100% of ALL the files, your torrent client will register you as "seeding" the torrent, which does not count towards your number of downloads in uTorrent, however the tracker will still say that you're "leeching" the torrent.

The only way to resolve the issue is to find which torrents you have not downloaded 100% of all the files and stop them, or to finish downloading ALL of the files.

@raphjd You are correct. I run a cross between Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linix, depending on what system I'm on.

@raphjd Multiple names? That's where http://www.iafd.com/ is for.

FWIW: I once lost a lot of my excess weight with a heavy diet of crystal meth and/or cocaine

@kristian1000 Contact the Helpdesk and ask them to close your account for you

If you still have the contents of the torrent, you can always download the .torrent file for the torrent, without it affecting your ratio. Just make sure that the contents of the torrent are in the folder where your torrent client downloads into by default before adding it to your torrent client, and it should start seeding it instead of downloading it again.
