I would STRONGLY recommend using a VPN, ESPECIALLY if you're in the United States. Things can get very ugly, very quickly without one.

The other possibility is that some of these torrents may be getting flagged as duplicates. Generally, these torrents should be able to be downloaded to completion, but that is assuming that the uploader continues to seed the torrent to completion, as the PM instructs them to do.

I do understand where you're coming from, but I do see a bit of a flaw in this… Some of the people who seed thousands of torrents like this are the only seeder, or one of only two or three, all of which are seeding a whack of torrents. The trouble that this creates is that when their speed is divided among all the peers of all the torrents, it can make for many torrents that do not have any decent quality seeders, but cannot have a reseed request submitted because they have too many seeders.

So while I do understand where you're coming from, there is a potential down side to this as well...

EXCELLENT!!  ;D

You're in luck…. It just so happens that I just stumbled across this post now, and I'm in a GRRRRRRRREAT mood because I finally found me a boyfriend that can keep up with me in bed.... So I'm going to see what magic I can work for you.

Yes… Set your user avatar in your site profile, instead of just your forum profile. You can find this setting by clicking on on [you] in the top left corner of the page.

facepalm

Did you seriously just say that? The settings can be customized… Just sayin'

Then my efforts were not wasted.

There are many ways of ripping videos from a website…

On a bit of an off-topic though, I couldn't help but notice the name A7X... Would that by any chance be in reference to Avenged Sevenfold?

Picture uploads are subject to availability. If someone has already uploaded 10 or more pictures to a torrent, even though they have not been approved, they take away from the availability of other users to upload more torrents.

More than likely, these torrents that have no pictures that you cannot upload more pictures to already have at least 10 pictures uploaded to the torrents, which are likely still pending approval.

Check your settings… Form the sounds of it, your Chrome is setup to clear browsing data on exit. This would explain why you need to login again every time you restart your browser, even if it hasn't been 6 or 8 hours (whichever it is) yet.

@Rubber0:

IMHO alert
Using a Debian with GNOME/KDE/etc is not a challenge at all. For me it turned to be a real problem that software I need for my job is nowhere to be found for linux. E.g. After effects can't be run even under WINE, I'm not even talking about it's plugins. So using Windows is just a necessity. Mac could be the solving but customization there is a problem.

Haha… You've never used one of two strategies that I've used in situations like that. For one of the projects that I work with, it's either Dreamweaver, or nothing... So... I've installed a Virtual Machine within my Ubuntu installation that literally full on loads Windows 7 inside of Ubuntu. For this particular situation, problem solved.

For the recording equipment on the other hand, I have yet to find a working driver for my VHS import gadget for example. So... On that machine, I've installed a dual-boot situation. This way, I can leave the computer primarily in Ubuntu, and when I need to make use of that particular hardware, which simply will NOT run in a kernel newer than 3.8.0-26-generic (which BTW has been discontinued as obsolete and isn't available past Ubuntu 12.04, and I'm now at 16.04).... It's a bit complex, but it accomplishes the mission at hand.

Typically when I find torrents that are more than 12 months old and have few seeders, I'll request re-seed if possible, then put a 156 hour freeleech on it, and in some cases, even promote it back to the top of the list. I'm always looking for torrents to do this with.

No… If it were a DNS issue, he woud be getting ERR_DNS_PROBE(NXDOMAIN) or something along those lines...

Connection Aborted sounds like a routing blockade set by the ISP or local government to me. A VPN would help with that though.

I haven't noticed anything strange like that recently…

@Rudric:

If anyone interested - I'll take donations And shipments from Amazon (or similar)

As will I :hehe:

My laptop has the smallest of all my hard drives, coming in at a mere 500 GB…

From there, I have three different 5 TB drives in the basement of the house about 200 feet away from the trailer, all attached to the server that doubles as a file share host, allowing me to access all of the content through the single underground network line that links my trailer into the main network guts in the house. It's particularly handy because it leaves all the bulky equipment in the basement of the house, where it never gets seen on the most part, but still leaves it accessible to the laptop or the TV in the trailer through the network. :cool2:

I have two more locations where I have storage. One of them has two 2 TB drives, and the other has a 5 TB drive and a 1 TB drive.

All of my different networked locations are all accessible to one another through the internet. The slowest location in the series is here at the trailer where I am now, and that's largely because I only have oldshool pre-Y2K legacy COPPER based ADSL2 that I have to bond together with MLPPP to be able to get a reasonable speed.

I prefer hosting eveything internally on my own backbone.

It's more expensive, but it's also a means to ensure that I am in complete possession of all the content.

I don't quite think you keep on top of the freeleech torrents all the time. A lot of the time you will find gems for different niche markets in the freeleech section. I put them there on a regular basis to keep users on their toes, and to help revive torrents. At some point or another, there is a little something for everyone in freeleech.

@DClarkston:
