I am having the same problem as ja32….

it just seems like there are tons of seeders and not enough leechers... i left my client on for 3-4 hours last night and barely got any upload... now im just trolling the recently uploaded to maybe get some seeding in but it seems like once i get something downloaded there is a million seeders and no leechers... none of the older torrents im seeding have any leechers...

The only thing that I could suggest to both of you (short of donating to the website) would be be to keep seeding torrents as often as possible, and see if you are able to perhaps find other content that is not on the website to upload. Although the website does not require payment of any kind, you obtain seed bonus points from seeding torrents, regardless of whether or not they're being downloaded. If you click on your seed bonus points in the top right corner, you will be brought to a screen where you can exchange said points for upload. Perhaps this may be a way of helping you in your goal to get enough of a share ratio to be able to download again, without having to donate.

@blablarg18 Well.... To be fair, I kind of agree with the teacher on some level.

You can practice whatever belief system you want, but part of being Canadian is accepting EVERYONE. It's just part of the rules. I have often said if you want to come here, you had better be prepared to follow the same rules that apply to everyone else.

@dalesc I noticed your request in the helpdesk as well. Please see my answer there. I think your situation is a little more complex than most.

@duncanlem Unfortunately, mods and other staff do not have access to this information, so we cannot say for sure.

@farkme:

i think the user is only suggesting this because hes uploaded less then 10% of what hes downloaded

I have been seeding all of my torrents all the time. It's not my fault no one's downloading them.

Even if you're not successfully uploading from files you're seeding, you obtain seed bonus points by having them seeded. If you click your seed bonus points in the top right corner of just about every window, you will be automatically directed to the area of the website where these points can be exchanged for a number of things. This includes upload, which will bring your upload up, without the need to donate to the website. Alternatively, you also have the option of uploading a torrent, which should help resolve the issue more quickly.

@blablarg18 Yeah.... It's a sad and strange world that we live in at this day and age. It really makes me wonder how some people manage to reproduce. There should be a universal law in all countries that says that if both parents have the combined IQ of a potato, they should not be allowed to reproduce. That would solve much of the issues we're having at this day and age.

When it comes to riots, looting, arson, etc. people don't bat an eye, but the moment that religious belief comes into the picture, all shit seems to hit the fan and everyone goes into some kind of satanic panic as it was once called back in the day.

I agree that the process can definitely be frustrating, especially if you have a slower upload speed. I used to be in that boat myself, and I understand all too well how bloody frustrating that it can be.

Also, I see that you have both uploaded torrents, so I went ahead and gifted both of you a little SBP pick me up to help boost you both up a little.

@john32123666 I would encourage you (and all users really) to report such instances. Sometimes we don't always see the comments on a torrent right away. When they're reported, that sends me down a rabbit hole to poke through all the comments the user has made on all the torrents and scrub the history. A lot of times, this results in multiple users getting nailed, as other users may leave request comments on other torrents the user has commented on, or more than one user has requested something.

Just know... A request anywhere will get you in deep doo doo

Is there currently an open source version of the current app that can be made available?

This would allow the open source community to help collectively collaberate and adapt it to fit any operating system and submit the code, etc for approval, or as a "beta" release for the community to post some sort of forum on in order to support it's progress and development?

If such a thing does exist, how would one go about acquiring it to help adapt it to various platforms and submit the end result as a release cantidate. Ultimately, for open source support, a forum specific to operating system could be created as they become available.

@raphjd It's just another way for the big companies to try to control the flow of information. It's effectively homophobic, but being done under the guise of trying to protect the children.

They can go sodomize themselves with a retractable baton!

@deeteedub Ah.... Therein lies problem #2... You are using a proxy service. This causes all kinds of problems with getting upload, or more particularly, with upload reporting to the tracker properly. So it's a combination of 2 things in this case.

@blablarg18 said in REQUESTS are banned:

@MrMazda @raphjd Is it ok to say "Uploader what are your other torrent links?"

Or "I like that unidentified clip, where is it from? / who's in it?"

Neither says, please post more of Johnny Asswipe at Cunt Studios.

But, ur view counts more than mine.

Neither of these are a problem as they are not requesting content to be posted. Asking for where to find content already uploaded is not the same as requesting that content be uploaded. Also, asking where a clip is from is not an issue as long as you do not ask that the clip be uploaded.

@RimmerDawg:

I'll give you a good example. Microsoft Office has a Windows Version and a Mac Version. They LOOK very much alike.

I don't mean to sound offensive, however Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar corporation that spands its offices throughout the world. Although GT is even more awesome than Microsoft ever could be (for so many wonderful reasons), due to the sheer difference in size, resources, and funding, it is not always possible to support more than the average mainstreem user's typical configuration.

That being said however, I'm sure that a lot of that also has to do with the little known fact that Microsoft owns 51% of Apple.

@blablarg18 Applying some critical thinking, this statement doesn't make sense. How does eating bugs in any way have anything to do with race?

Unless it's specific to a certain geographical region or culture, eating bugs has nothing to do with race, so to just cry racism is in and of itself rather racist. Oh the irony!

@deeteedub That's because our systems are not setup like others and do not support passive nodes by default. Doing so requires port forwarding to be in place.

Short answer to the question is YES... They ARE enforced. Much of the enforcement however relies on user reports when content falls short of the criteria.

So when you come across ones that don't meet the requirements, I would encourage you to hit the report button so that we can take action.

Just to clarify one thing… Although posting of RapidShare links is not permitted on this site, is there any restriction on the content downloaded from RapidShare?

It may sound stupid, however RapidShare is something for which I have no experience.

There was actually a recent headline about this in the Toronto Sun.... Trudeau didn't like it. All the headline read was "I DID NAZI THAT COMING"

@deeteedub Use of a VPN is recommended, but a proxy is not the same as a VPN.

@justatest90-0 I don't know who handled them, but these definitely qualify for some follow up, which I will do.
