@adlp1ph This usually happens when you have one or more torrents that you have not downloaded 100% of ALL the files. When this happens, the tracker will only register you as leeching the torrent, which counts towards your maximum number of simultaneous downloads, which is a separate number from the number of .torrent files you can download in a day.
To get around this, you need to either stop these torrents, or finish downloading ALL the files.
@deeteedub Use of a VPN is recommended, but a proxy is not the same as a VPN.
@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.
@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.
@deeteedub This sounds like a port forwarding issue. You need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home network to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a critical and necessary step in order to get proper upload traffic.
@BKisalive This sounds like a combination of two things..

Port Forwarding issues.
With #2, you need to make sure that the port your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router/network to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a necessary step to being able to get proper upload traffic.
@Robsam Not intentional? Ummm.... No... The secret to doing this is VERY intentional. It doesn't just happen by "accident".
@john32123666 Thank you... The user who did it is now on my radar and has received the first warning for exploitation of the site.
@eobox91103 Condoms? People use condoms?
@john32123666 Yes... That one was a test of a theory, which proved to be correct to that I could report specifics of the bug to the sysadmin so it can be fixed somehow.
@jokuihmemies If you do know, it would be helpful if you could tell me in private so that I can inform our sysop. As long as you're doing it to test if your theory is correct to let us know, we won't penalize you for it.
@john32123666 Aaaaand the user is now banned. They originally got a warning, then continued doing what they were warned not to do. This is a form of ratio cheating.
Do not create multiple threads on multiple boards for the exact same request.
@Lanamariah2 Directly there is no way to change a username. In some circumstances however it may be possible to transfer an account to a new account to get the same effect. The two down sides to doing this are that your passkey will change, so you will need to update all your existing torrents, and there is no way to transfer the SBP. If you wish to go through with this, we can chat more in PM to see what can be arranged.
@john32123666 Interesting... I'll have to report this to @Joker as this torrent was not only put on freeleech for a period of time that is not supposed to be available, but it was also done before it should be able to be done as well.
@frostycab Hmmmm.... Well, there is an L in LGBT, so one could argue that it does fit, but perhaps with something like this, it may be something that deserves a category of its own?
@john32123666 The short answer is that it IS allowed here, but should be placed in the Trans category. I have moved it to said category for that very reason.
We recently had an issue with the SSL cert for the tracker having expired. We have fixed the issue and everything should now be back up and running...
@BKisalive No... You will never be kicked for using freeleech torrents. They're the one torrent you can still download even if your download rights are disabled.
