It sounds like your ISP has either suddenly blocked our site, or more likely, they have not updated their DNS Root zone, and as such, their DNS servers are pulling up a previous cached record for the site. The other possibility is that the DNS simply will not resolve the domain, which can also be the sign of a root zone issue.

Your best bet here would be to add the following lines to the hosts file in your computer. Those lines are:

185.30.166.2 www.gaytorrent.ru
185.30.166.2 forum.gaytorrent.ru
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.ru
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

If you add these four lines to your system's hosts file, this should resolve the problem. If you're not sure of how to modify your computer's hosts file, I would encourage you to check out this comprehensive guide.

Also, increasing your ratio generally works best when you're actually seeding your torrents.

I have several across my network, most of which are older… In the trailer I use a WRT-610N, and in the main house that the trailer feeds off of, I use a different Linksys router, but I forget the exact model that I use.

I used to use them exclusively, that is of course, until I had to resort to MLPPP, which bonds multiple DSL lines together for me. That's when I started making the switch from Linksys over to Mikrotik, as the Mikrotik has way more advanced features that I actually use.

The short answer to your question is no… The closest thing we have is the RSS feed, but that doesn't get specific and updates with ALL new uploads.

I would go with the Linksys personally… I find them to be die-hard reliable, and their performance to be stellar.

If you're looking for something a little more high performance or high-end, I would be inclined to recommend a Mikrotik router. They're what runs my entire super custom super network.

This error most commonly comes up when one of two things happens….

1. The torrent exceeds 50 GB in size

2. One or more of the file or folder names contains an invalid character that QTM doesn't support. Check the file names and ensure that there are no strange characters. It should only have numbers, letters, spaces, dots, dashes, or square brackets. I'm not 100% sure if it supports round brackets. I believe it does, but I'm not positive on that. Apostrophes and characters with diacritical markings such as accents are the most common things to trip up QTM.

You are going to need to inquire to the helpdesk on this one, as it requires discussing sensitive information about your account.

Also, given the amount of time that your post sat before I found it, I have also reset your passkey, as you posted it in the public forum in your original post. I went ahead and removed it from your original post, however given how long your post was in public view, it was necessary to ensure the security of your account.

You will need to update your announce URL in all of your torrents, or re-download all of the .torrent files to re-seed the torrents with. All future downloads shouldn't be a problem, as they will already contain your new private passkey.

Also, with the way the site is setup, some proxy systems choke on the site's security, which somehow causes the connection not to pass all the way through to the server.

If you are using the full VPN, you shouldn't need the added layer with the extra proxy connection on top of the full VPN.

That being said, as I recall with PIA, it requires that you use certain servers for port forwarding, and it requires that you use a specific port that it will assign to you. You need to ensure that your torrent client falls in line with the port number that they assign for P2P port forwarding. If you do not do this, it can become extremely difficult to get upload traffic.

It sounds like you do not have the correct port forwarding settings configured on your network. The other problem with this is that your torrent client seems to use a random port every time you start it up. This can become problematic….

See... In order to get optimal upload traffic, even when you're not leeching the torrent or are the only seeder, you need to ensure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. To do this properly and securely, you need to first turn off the random port option, so that you can forward just ONE port to use with your torrents. Once this is done and incoming connections can be properly forwarded through to your computer, you should notice a HUGE difference in the results.

You uploaded your torrent a couple of months ago and have long ago stopped seeding it. In order to get upload traffic, you must be seeding your upload. As soon as you stop the torrent, the stats that will show in your profile will reset to zero, as they show the total amount that has been transferred in that particular session.

With that being said though, when you are seeding the torrent, any traffic that you obtain while seeding that torrent DOES get counted towards your overall totals, which are what is used to calculate your ratio.

If the file is an exact duplicate, you can re-seed the existing torrent, without needing to upload it again.

Can you confirm whether or not the file you have is an exact duplicate?

The best that you can do is pull up the list of the last 250 torrents that you have downloaded. You can do this by clicking [you] in the top left corner of the page, then scrolling down to the bottom and click the "Show Completed Torrents" link.

There is of course another possible way to get more than the last 250 torrents. There's a bit of a cheater's trick. Click the "Search" button at the top of the page, then click the "Show Torrents not yet voted", and the last 250 torrents that you have not voted on will appear. The difference here is that the database will maintain the list of ALL the torrents that you have downloaded, but have not yet voted for, which is separate from the rest of the history.

The catch here is that once you have voted for all of your torrents, you will no longer be able to use this feature for previous torrents, but rather, only future torrents that you download from this point forward.

Hope this helps.

I would NOT be inclined to recommend Dropbox for anything PERIOD. In my experience, their customer service is utterly incompetent and doesn't know what they're doing, and thus, will only run you around in circles for MONTHS. Also, their technical support is nothing short of a joke either. I stopped using Dropbox after I had been complaining about a bug in their Linux version for OVER A YEAR, before I finally got a generic response more or less saying that they have no intention of fixing the bug.

In short, Dropbox is a waste of money and if anything goes wrong, it's more or less a case of "too bad, so sad, I'm glad you're mad!"

Correct… If SBP are given to an uploader that no longer exists, the points simply vanish into never-never land... They are deducted from your total, however because the target account is not known, they aren't credited anywhere and simply "disappear".

Well… To be honest, I did a little more than just request a re-seed... I also put a freeleech on them and/or promoted them back to the top of the list because they were older torrents. This generally encourages users to download them. When I saw that part of your problem was that there were no leechers, I took it upon myself to give the torrents a bit of a booster to help fix that part of the equation for you.

EDIT: I just now noticed that there are three torrents that have no seeds at all, so I requested reseed of them again. If you were to start up your torrent client and seed only those 3 torrents for a while, you should be able to maximize your upload credit.

Torrents can disappear for a variety of reasons. The two most common of these are that it has been reported as a duplicate, or has been taken down in accordance with a valid DMCA request. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine what exactly happened to the torrent.

I just thought I'd point out that I just now noticed something a little off in some user profiles who are using BiglyBT. Namely, the program is not properly reporting a valid port number to the tracker. With the way our tracker is setup, this can be a BIG problem.

Also, this raises the question of what else it does not accurately report to the tracker.

I think using BiglyBT is part of your problem. It is not reporting a proper port number to the tracker, which raises the question of what else is it not reporting to the tracker correctly?

Also, I see two active torrent clients in your profile. Are you sure you shut them BOTH down?

I can assist you with that. The answer is actually quite complicated. Simply put, you need to more or less surgically remove it from your computer and your system registry somewhat manually with a couple of tools and the Registry Editor itself. This is something I have a lot of experience with. I can assist you with it using TeamViewer if you're interested.
