The official answer: You only need to be logged in to submit the .torrent file to upload the torrent to the tracker, as well as to download the .torrent file you need to seed the upload. Once you have downloaded the .torrent file for your torrent program to seed/leech with, whether you are logged in or not makes absolutely no difference.
hum there shouldn't be 2 torrents with same content in the first place IMO hence the reward for duplicate torrents.
I think what he's referring to is if for example he downloaded a torrent from another site, then found that torrent here (or vice-versa). And yes… This is called the re-seed process. It is explained in our upload guide, starting at step 4 where it talks about downloading the .torrent file that you need to seed the actual content with.
As for doing this with two different files on here, this is also possible using the same process. If for example, you're seeding a duplicate torrent (or you uploaded an identical duplicate), you can switch to the original with this process as well. 
Perhaps we could improve the sub-category and searching so that if you search Asian and Bareback, torrents that are tagged in some manner with both categories would come up?
Also, possibly make it so that the edit page also allows you to add, remove, or change sub-categories.
It just goes to show that copyright trolls will stop at nothing to try to extort money from the people… It makes me very glad that I take a higher level of anonymity on the internet these days.
About the only other thing that I could suggest would be something similar to what I have setup. If you have another machine, or if you get a little NAS box, you can leave all the adult content stored on the NAS across the network. This ensures that local file browsing will turn up nothing, as all the content would be stored on the NAS itself, rather than your computer locally.
Normally, you make a reseed request by pressing the request reseed button on the torrent information page. I have gone ahead and done this for you. As well, I have promoted the torrent in hopes that it may draw some more attention to the torrent for you.
Seedboxes are by far the best… They'll completely avoid your ISP's throttle.
If your ISP is throttling because of their policies on P2P traffic, there is a way to avoid that. A VPN such as PrivateVPN is a good way to bypass ISP throttling when it's detected to be P2P traffic. This will also keep your internet secure from prying eyes and help to keep you anonymous on the internet in general.
The other thing I thought I'd mention is that I see that not many of the torrents in your profile have many seeders, and virtually no leechers. To help build these torrents up, I will freeleech the ones that I see that are in the most desperate need for 156 hours. This will encourage people to download them, which will help to give you upload traffic if you begin seeding these torrents again.
The most common cause of this is that your ISP's DNS servers are not resolving the IP address for the tracker for some reason. This seems to be a common problem. There are 2 ways that you can fix this:
Change your computer or network's DNS settings to use Google DNS by using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the DNS servers.
Modify your computer's hosts file by adding two lines. If you're unsure of how to change your hosts file, I would encourage you to check out this comprehensive guide. The two lines you want to add should read as follows:
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.ru
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.tw
Once these lines are added, you should be able to resolve the tracker's IP, without the need for a DNS lookup. This method will work, regardless of what DNS servers you're using.

We used to have a list of banned clients somewhere, but I'm not sure where that list has gone.
I do not recall this torrent client being on that list, so you should be safe.
I see that you have indeed uploaded a torrent, and that it has taken off well, so I've sent you a little SBP reward to help get you out of low ratio status.
Once you cash in the points, there may be a delay of up to 15 minutes before the system will restore your download rights. This is normal, so don't panic if it isn't quite an "instant" process to get your download rights back.
I hate to be the Negative Nancy here, but I just thought I would point something out… More recently, you may have noticed times when we had pages and pages of freeleech torrents available, which has dwindled down a little. I will be honest when I say a lot of these torrents have been me. The majority of them were torrents that I've been trying to revive, and I'll admit, I've also thrown in little goodies here and there for various reasons.
This being said, I do agree that an incentive to regular (non staff) users would help to entice people to spend some to potentially get some.
… (including making it freeleech, bumping and comment) and if that fails delete it.
Yeah… On that note, I have a question for you on that topic. I shall PM it and discuss it further.
I am working on the Helpdesk request for this now. Due to the sensitivity of what needs to be discussed, I will leave my reply in the helpdesk shortly. I can give general information here, but in your case, this will require discussing information specific to you and your connection that would be best left discussed in private.
VPN VPN VPN. It's a digital condom for torrents.
I use PrivateInternetAccess.
I agree with the use of a VPN to ensure your privacy and anonymity on the internet, however based on my personal experience, IMHO, I do not recommend the use of PIA. Granted, they do work for some users in some cases, however for my personal preference, there are some things about PIA that I can honestly say are not for me. My really horrific customer service experience that ended with an escalation to my lawyer is one of the reasons that I say that based on my experience, I would not recommend them.
That being said though, I do have a fair bit of experience in working with PrivateVPN, including working with their customer service and I have never been anything but 100% satisfied with them. To be fair, I will acknowledge that there are some things about PrivateVPN that may make it not the right fit for some users, however in my experience, I can say that they are the right VPN for me.
That torrent has no completed downloads, that is why the reseed request button isn't active.
(Further the shared file's content is on our banned list, so I've now removed that torrent)
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought when the torrent had no snatch list at all that it would look like it goes through the reseed process, but instead it comes up saying "Reseed Failed - 0 PM's sent"… Or is this only on torrents with a snatch count but no snatch list?
We are not aware of any issues with the tracker currently. If you are unable to connect only to the tracker, this may be the result of a DNS problem. Some DNS providers for some reason do not like to resolve the IP address of the tracker. There are two ways that you can overcome this.
Use Google DNS by using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers. After changing the DNS, this may require that you either reboot your computer, or that you open an elevated command prompt and run the command "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the quotes).
Modify your computer's hosts file by adding two lines to your hosts file. This will allow your computer to resolve the IP address of the tracker, without the need for a DNS lookup. Simply add the following 2 lines to your hosts file:
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.ru
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

kalayaan is correct about the Helpdesk inquiry. As I am a mod who works the Helpdesk, I can also provide a bit more information here as well. As a general rule, it is advised that you seed your torrents until they have been completed. That being said however, we do understand that for a variety of reasons, this may not always be possible. Examples of such cases include, forgetting to plug in the laptop, severe weather that knocks out your power and/or internet, a local computer crash requiring a reboot, and unexpected trouble with your internet connection. When these unforeseen cases occur, as long as we are aware of the situation, we will not penalize you for circumstances beyond your control.
By default, the reseed button is disabled when there are 3 or more seeder who are seeding the torrent. I have seen some cases where there is a glitch and it is not working for torrents that have 0, 1, or 2 seeders, but this is an odd exception to the rule. Which torrent in question are you referring to?
When torrents do not meet the rules, the fastest way to resolve it is to hit the report button on those torrents and explain the problem.
