We do have an RSS feed, which can be brought into a number of programs in order to download certain torrents automatically.

I was about 14 when I finally came out. I am fortunate though, as neither my parents, nor any of by siblings batted an eye when I came out. It was as though nothing had changed.

In fact, my sister even said "Yo ya freak... Ya got any actual news?" This was the most perfect thing she could have said because she's always called me a freak, so it was like nothing had changed.

@ianfontinell If its an older torrent, is large, and has few seeds (generally less than 10 unless it's more than a few years old), I can freeleech and promote.

@frostycab As far as I am aware, it is. The owner just recently did some fixes to it to make it work right again.

@BlackCat94 If the request reseed is greyed out it means either that there are at least 3 seeders, or that the torrent has not yet been snatched, and thus, there is nobody in which to request a reseed from.

@Harribal-0 I see your problem.... You're using the .rent domain over HTTP.

To fix this, you need to either change it to https and remove the :2710 OR you need to change the domain to gaytorrent.tw

This is why it is not working for you. You will still get a scrape error from the tracker as we do not support the scrape feature, but this should not affect your ability to download and seed torrents. It will only affect things when the torrent is not active in your torrent client.

@ianfontinell Sure.... Just throw me the torrent URL

@MrMazda By default, when no port is specified, HTTPS uses the standard port 443

@flozen Also, when you make too many requests in the forum, eventually you do get banned for breaking the rules. Some bans are temporary (for a set period of time), while others are permanent, depending on a few factors, not the least of which is how many times you have violated the rule previously.

@nancledra53 There is no notification given to any seeders or leechers of the torrent, however the uploader is notified when a torrent is taken down. This is an automatic process for the most part.

@Domosuke Yeah.... Anywhere that there's a comments section is usually full of trolls... Sometimes you just have to scroll past and shake your head lol

@eobox91103 After looking things over, I do not think the problem is with your uTorrent settings. The issue is that there are next to no leechers actively downloading any of the torrents that you are seeding. I can see what I can do to help with this, but the lack of leechers alone will have a lot to do with your issue.

Also, for our tracker, you need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router to your computer, both in TCP and UDP for things to work properly.

@vanman There are two areas that apply.... There's the forum, and then there's the rest of the site like in torrent comments. In the forum, the first offence is a warning and a temporary ban. The second offence I believe is also a warning and a temporary (but longer) ban.

In somewhere like the torrent comments, there's a 4 strike rule. The first time, you get a 1 day system warning. The second time you get a 3 day system warning. The third time you get a 7 day system warning. Finally, on the fourth time, you get a perma-ban

@eobox91103 I did... It's a great way to revive dying torrents, and many of the torrents you are seeding were dying and had no leechers. This is where the sudden increase in traffic came from.

As a side note, it may be worth putting a limit (throttle) on your upload speed in uTorrent. The reason for this is that in order to browse websites or really do much of anything online, you need to have at least a certain amount of upload ability available. When the connection is fully maxed out, it can create difficulties with other devices trying to use the internet normally.

If your internet speed caps out at about 25 mbit (3,051.75 KB), I would recommend capping your upload speed at about 2,450 KB/s. This will ensure that other devices on your home network have a sufficient upload capacity to be able to work on the internet without causing issues. It's a bit of a reduction, however if you have more than one device on the network, it will ensure that all devices will be able to function consistently on your network over the internet.

Just for reference, the speed calculations can be derived as follows:

1 bit = 1 bit
1 kbit = 1000 bits
1 mbit = 1000 kbits = 1,000,000 bits
1 Byte = 8 bits
1 KByte = 1024 Bytes
1 MByte = 1024 KBytes
1 GByte = 1024 MBytes

So the formula would work as follows

25 mbit x (1,000,000 bits/mbit) = 25,000,000 bits
25,000,000 bits / (8 bits/Byte) = 3,125,000 Bytes
3,125,000 Bytes / (1024 Bytes/KByte) = 3,051.75 KBytes

@magician This appears to be a database issue. I have alerted our system admin to the problem so that they can solve it. Please be patient while we get to fixing this.

It appears that you may have caught some sort of a system glitch. That's the only explanation that I can think of.

@raphjd This is correct..... PIA is something different. They're based in the United States if I recall correctly which can be considered a red flag. Now.... That being said, they do support port forwarding, however they will randomize the port on each connection, so every time you connect, you must change the port settings in your torrent client.

PrivateVPN on the other hand from https://privatevpn.com/ will do the same on all servers, however for some servers, they support port forwarding for ALL ports, so you don't have to keep changing settings in your torrent client every time you connect.

As for ExpressVPN, they do support port forwarding, however in order to take advantage of this, you must install the VPN service on your router and setup the port forwarding within the router. Not all routers support this option, and by the same token, not all routers that support a VPN connection support ExpressVPN. This potentially makes it more expensive by having to upgrade your home network equipment and get into way more complicated setup to get it going.

@Symphonia-0 Actually, yes... It does. It's not free, but it's a one time purchase of an app called iTransmission, which is available in the Apple App Store.

For an Android device, I would be inclined to recommend Vuze.

Now, that being said... Power settings among other things need to be tweaked to make it work in the background, otherwise the app stops when it's not active and up front.

@flozen Sadly, some people just like to whine.... So I'll leave you with this...

FWIW: There seems to be one thing in common with all these cases... uTorrent 3.6.0, BitTorrent 7.11, qBitTorrent 4.6.2, and a few others that are based on the same Libtorrent base as qBitTorrent is.

I think you may find that rolling back your torrent client to a previous version will help with this.
