As a general rule, alittle bit of patience will go a long way…. See, your torrent client will only update your totals with the tracker once every 30 minutes. For this reason, you may notice a delay in the amount of data that has been transferred compared to the amount of data that the tracker shows.
Yes… This is a common mistake that most people make. See, your torrent client only reports to the tracker once every 30 minutes. Because of this, you may notice a delay in the stats being reported accurately to the tracker.
5 mbit upload?!?! I'd kill for an upload speed like that. I'm currently stuck on a legacy DSL line where I'm promised a max upload speed of about 800 kbit, but in reality, I only actually ever receive at most about 600 kbit. You should count yourself lucky that you're not living in the middle of nowhere where internet speeds are a complete joke.
Those messages are actually based on the time zone of the server. The only thing that changing your time zone setting (which can be done in your forum profile settings) will do is change the date and time that appear on forum posts to make it show the date and time in your local time, instead of the server's time.
There is a loop-hole, however it only works once. Go to the search option and look for the link for torrents you have not yet voted for. It will only show you the last 250, however when you start voting for them, the remainder will start to come up one by one. The only down side is that you can only do this ONCE. Once it's done, there's no way to go back through the list a second time.
I wouldn't be so sure of that… Our site owner often uses his iPad to poke around the site. While it may not be all that mobile friendly, it is compatible with an iDevice of any sort. I've also found it works equally as well on an Android device too.
@tranxuan: If you hadn't said anything about your English and grammar not being so great, I never would have noticed. 
Short of knowing what the video titles and/or studios are, it would be really hard to say exactly how to find such torrents.
Where are you getting these ZIP files from? If it's from this site, I will need to look into it because we do not allow corrupted content to be uploaded.
I know that it seems a little strange, but there is a reason for it. This is mainly to prevent users from digging themselves a hole with their ratio that they'll almost certainly never get out of short of donating a LOT of money, just to invite themselves back to the site under a new username to continue their downloading spree, without seeding anything.
Yes… Yes there is.... It's called Treasure Island Media :funny2:
Ah yes… Disk quota crap as implemented by Micro$oft..... I remember the reasons why I abandoned their bulky and proprietary ways and jumped ship over to Ubuntu..... hehe
I just stumbled across this thread now…... I have a few things to add...
@wesleyrayne: As staff, we do see which users are and are not at least making a reasonable effort to maintain their ratio. I took a quick look at your uploads, and while the descriptions aren't the way I like to see them, they're actually better on average than most that I've seen. Also, it is likely that your uploads may not have previously caught my attention because their content is not usually what I look for. That being said though, I do feel your pain with respect to the SBP issue, so I've just tossed you another 350 SBP to help make up for the mysteries of other users.
As far as I'm aware, you do not need to be a power user to exchange SBP for an invite. You do however need to be a Power User to be able to use an invite through.
I wouldn't be too overly worried if I were you as long as you maintain your current average. Your share ratio is currently 1.330, and at the VERY most, your required is 0.800 when you hit the highest bracket. As a general rule, as long as you keep your ratio above 1 (such as the 1.040 required for power user status, you should never really need to worry about having too low a ratio, especially if you maintain the ratio as you download more.
I think you're confusing the .torrent files with the actual torrent's contents. In order to open the .torrent files on an Android device, I would recommend first going to the Google Play store and downloading uTorrent for Android. In order to properly seed torrents from your android device, you may need some special provisions programmed into the wireless router your phone is connected to, otherwise, it would be your mobile data carrier you would need to consult if your android is not directly connected to the internet when using mobile data.
I would however caution against the use of uTorrent for Android while on mobile data, at least until you verify what your mobile data rates are with your carrier. Within North America, mobile (cellular) data is rather expensive and seeding or downloading torrents is rather data intensive, especially if you're downloading entire DVD images. Once you have downloaded and installed uTorrent for Android, you should be all set to open the .torrent files to be able to start downloading their contents. I would caution you as a new user though that your ratio is important, so starting off with the correct selection of torrents is critical to ensuring that you start out on the right foot. As a general rule, downloading of freeleech torrents is a good way in which to download without having to worry about it affecting your ratio. Aside from that, I would recommend that you read our Suggestions for Newbies thread as well as our Guide for Starters in the forum. You may find these useful in helping you to get off on the right foot.
The short and sweet answer is power user status is obtained when you have been a member for at least 4 weeks, have a share ratio of at least 1.000 and have more than 40 GB of upload.
Thanks for the heads up… I just thought I'd let you know that while we strongly suggest seeding at least one torrent 24/7, this is by no means a mandatory requirement, as there are other ways in which to get your ratio up, so fear not... You will not be penalized in any way, especially since you have a share ratio that exceeds your minimum requirement.
This is the case to some extent. When I upload new torrents, I don't often get a whole lot more upload credit than the actual size of the torrent itself. Sadly, this is because I live in rural Canada, where I'm lucky if I can maintain a 600 kbit steady upload speed using an oldschool legacy DSL line (ADSL2+). I can say with great confidence that I really do feel your pain. Where I'm at now, it's even a blessing to get more than about 3.4 mbit in download speed, unless I go into a more major city, and even then, depending on the type of connection, it's not more than about 7 mbit.
So…. I do feel your pain, but sadly, that is the nature of the way that torrents work. If there are a great number of leechers, but not many seeders, it is still possible to get some traffic from seeding torrents, although history will dictate that this number is not as high as one would expect, even with a faster connection speed.
I believe that this could be because of the default settings in Transmission. By default, Transmission is configured to "hit & run". Fear not though as there is a rather easy way to fix this little problem. I too use Transmission and fell victim to it. To fix this issue, please do the following:
Open Transmission
Click the "Edit" menu, then click in "Preferences"
Click the "Seeding" tab
Uncheck both of the checkboxes ("Stop seeding at ratio" and "Stop seeding if idle for N minutes")
Click the "Close" button
Start the torrents that otherwise say "Finished" or "Paused".
Once you have done this, your desired torrents will continue to seed regardless. You can also change the setting for each individual torrent after it is added by right clicking the torrent, then going to the "Options" tab and looking for the "Seeding" options. By default, Transmission will assume the global settings when a torrent is added, however it is possible to change these settings for an individual torrent if you so choose.
