    • RE: Ratio not counted correctly? or display bug? maybe seedbox confusing tracker

      The stats that are shown there in your profile are the session totals. In other words, it's the total amount of data transferred since the torrent was started. If you restart the torrent, or in some cases, if you seed from multiple locations, every time you get an update from the other IP address, or every time you stop then restart a torrent, it will refresh the stats. With that being said however, it will still accumulate the transferred amounts to your grand total.

      SO… If you're seeding and say only ONE of your locations where you're seeding has transferred anything, when your seedbox updates, it will push those stats to the profile page there, however as soon as your next location updates, the site will see it as a different IP address, and thus as a different session, and will replace the total on the profile page with the reported total from your other location. Once your seedbox refreshes with the tracker again, the stats will be pushed to the grand totals, and the display amount in your profile will change, but once you get another refresh from the location that's not transferring to anything, it will consider it (at least for display purposes) to be yet another new session, and will reset the totals on the profile again, without affecting your grand total.

      So... Yes... Traffic IS being accumulated against your grand totals, even though the site does not display the same amount in your profile as it shows in your torrent client. If you were to reduce the seed locations to just ONE location and keep it active, you would notice the stats would begin to build and accumulate there in your profile. So... Even though they do not appear to be accumulating in your profile listings, they ARE accumulating against your grand totals, which is what your overall ratio is calculated on anyway. 🙂

    • RE: Encrypted Peers vs. Unencrypted Peers

      I'm a BIG fan of Ubuntu, which is Debian based… Especially when you combine it with a useful little tool such as Webmin. It makes life WAY more straight forward

    • RE: Some seedbox issues I'd fixed.

      The best I can do for you was to put some of the torrents that you are seeding on freeleech. This should help to encourage users to download these files, which in turn, should help you see some upload traffic to help restore your ratio.

      I can definitely bring it up and see where things go… 🙂

    • RE: Encrypted Peers vs. Unencrypted Peers

      I have 4 of them in total, all in different geographical areas, but that's because I also host the DNS services for several different domains online. If I were just using them for regular internet traffic, I would only need one really. Simply put, take a Linux box and install a basic copy of Bind onto it…. It is also recommended to setup RNDC, as this will help with a few things down the line.

      From there, just be sure to update the root zone from time to time, then configure your computer or network's DNS settings to point to that Linux box. The Linux box will actually do all the DNS resolving for you, pulling the information straight out of the Master DNS servers, which bypasses the need for a 3rd party DNS service, which can potentially lead to DNS inquiry information being leaked. 🙂

    • RE: Suggestions For a Decent NFO Creator/Maker Software That Works Here

      @Topsersem:

      All things considered, I guess NFO files here are frivolous. This is not a "scene" hub.  ::)

      Touché

    • RE: Lesbian Themed Movies?

      I would be inclined to say yes because the rules state that non porn content "must contain an LGBT theme". Given that LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, I would say that they're perfectly acceptable given the current rules. 🙂

      Ah… I will send you a PM because I do not want to discuss certain aspects of the matter in public view. 🙂

    • RE: Encrypted Peers vs. Unencrypted Peers

      I had a solution for the potential for DNS leaks… I use my own DNS servers now, so that I can control what passes through them, and I can be sure that no information is being skimmed out of the results because I own the actual servers that handle the requests. 🙂

      This is definitely a change of pace for once. We really appreciate it. 🙂

    • RE: Download Storage Solution?

      I tend not to use online storage services because of the government and law enforcement's ability to subpoena information from those providers. Instead, I have a few servers of my own setup. The two most commonly used ones are the one located in the basement at my parents' place, and the one located in the basement of the house that my trailer piggybacks off of (for power and network/internet) through underground wire that runs from the house 200 feet into the bush to the trailer. In both cases, they have external hard drives that are attached, which I can access over the network when I'm in the physical location, and soon, also over the internet securely. This way, if any information is sought after, I'll know about it because I'm in physical possession of all the hardware where the information is stored, but yet, it's easily accessible from the trailer, without the need for the bulky equipment in the trailer. 🙂

      Actually, I don't like how little impact that had on your ratio, so look out… Here comes round 2

    • RE: Uploaded a torrent, Had 3 total snatches but still have a ratio of 0?

      This is actually a common question… I will explain why this happens.

      Your torrent client updates with the tracker to obtain the list of peers and update your transfer statistics once every 30 minutes. This will mean that you'll have about 30 minutes where everything stays the same, and then all of the sudden, the stats will update. If you're seeding multiple torrents, this can become a little more complex, because the 30 minute refresh period is based on each torrent individually from the time it was started.

      So... This is not at all unusual.

      I also see that your upload speed is not the greatest, which kind of confuses me because I'm very familiar with your geographical area (as you're not all that far from me it would seem) and your ISP, and I fail to understand why it is so slow. The only thing that I could think of is that you have their ultra lite package perhaps?

      Anyhoo... Since it would appear that you're trying to do the right thing, before your torrent gets purged from the system completely, I'm going to use it to gift you some SBP to help get your ratio in check. This should help to give you a boost to where you ideally need to be. Hopefully, this will help to get you on your way.

    • RE: Ratio rules … I do no think that it's working as it should

      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. 🙂

    • RE: Encrypted Peers vs. Unencrypted Peers

      Not really… While we have a strict privacy policy, the downloads themselves are run directly from peer to peer. This means that your IP address is still shown in the list of peers for where to get the content. This is something that we cannot do anything about. If you're looking for a more secure or anonymous way of torrenting, I would be inclined to suggest a VPN service that does NOT log anything, such as PrivateVPN. As long as the server you are using supports port forwarding, you'll be all set.

      Now, as for the difference between encrypted and unencrypted peers, the difference there is whether or not you are establishing a regular connection to the peer, or if you are using some method of securely scrambling the information while it's being transmitted from one peer to the next. The theoretical difference there being that an encrypted connection cannot be intercepted in the manner that a regular (or unencrypted) session potentially can be.

    • RE: Anyone who manages it to keep 1.0 or above ratio without donating?

      I will chime in and say that I feel the pain of each and every last member on this site who suffers from bandwidth poverty. Believe it or not, there are some areas even in first world countries like Canada where internet service is not so great to say the least. I'm in a trailer in the bush, in the middle of nowhere, with practically no neighbours. My only one neighbour is my good friend whose land my trailer is on, and whose house my trailer piggybacks off of for electricity and internet. Even their house (which is my ONLY neighbour) is a little over 200 feet from the house.

      The problem out here is that we're on oldschool pre-Y2K legacy COPPER based ADSL2 service, and I am just over 5 kms from the CO. The result is that in theory, I'm only supposed to be able to get about 1.5mbit / 800kbit to a single DSL line, but for some reason, I'm able to crank my lines up to 4mbit / 800kbit. In order to get fast enough internet in the house and trailer that I can stream movies in 1080p HD, I had to have not one, but THREE DSL lines installed. I'm waiting on the installation of a 4th line now in order to get a faster speed. The four modems connect into a single router, which bonds them together using MLPPP, then shares the connection as a single line with the combined speed through a line that links that router into the main switch on the ceiling in the opposite corner of the basement. There's then a line that runs from that switch, across the basement ceiling, out the outside wall of the house, into the ground, and across the back yard underground about 200 feet to the trailer, where it then comes out of the ground again, into the trailer, and connects into my second wireless router inside the trailer.

      Even at that though, I'm still rather limited in my upload speed (which comes at almost a whopping $200/mo CAD), I can only really upload at up to 60KB/s before I start noticing buffer bloat issues. So… For this reason, if your upload speed isn't so great and you've uploaded at least one torrent, I would be happy to hook you up with some SBP to help compensate for your lack of upload speed.

      I would encourage you to check out our upload guide, starting at step 4 where it talks about downloading the .torrent file that you need.

    • RE: I think this idea would solve the DUPLICATE problem

      There's a potential problem in that idea that I see. Not all duplicates are identical duplicates, and depending on the mod that flags them, not all mods will freeleech the duplicate torrent. In some cases, the original is not quite an identical copy, and the original is too new to be made freeleech. This can create some problems with this process. 😞
