Nope!
Your stats here (from which your ratio is calculated) are strictly the result of logged uploaded and downloaded data, which are reported by your torrent client to our site, every 30 minutes of solid non-stop connections between your torrent client, and our Torrent Tracker Server.
Not to worry.

For those looking for bonus points to convert to 'upload credits, can I make a plea to people to vote for the categories of the torrents they download. I saw one guy this morning who had downloaded over 100GB, worried that he might have his download stopped but he did not have one single category vote point.
It's free, it take just two clicks (minimum) and you get 2 points for each vote
Indeed, thank you, that's terrific advice, and a great reminder that there are really SO MANY ways to earn free bonus points, to be traded in for upload credit.
That original post-mentioned-click on your ratio (link) that takes you to the Rationator page (https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rationator.php)
…going into great detail on the many various ways to earn bonus points:
1) Seed downloads to earn 0.5 seed bonus points per hour (exchange for upload credit).
2) Upload new torrents to receive thank you seed bonus points gifted from other members.
3) Vote category on completed downloads to earn 2 seed bonus points per vote.
4) Search for duplicate torrents and earn 50 seed bonus points per confirmed report.
5) Submit pictures for torrents with < 10 total photos to earn 1 point per approved picture.
6) Post your personal affiliate membership link to other areas of the internet or send to friends. You will earn 250 seed bonus points per new user. Click on the "Affiliate" link, top blue bar, center, for more details: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/affiliate.php

Hi, guys…
Here's the TOTAL information and advice package I send our members who write the helpdesk for help with their ratio, (after dealing with their specific issue or question). Hopefully this information and advice will prove helpful to members who struggle to maintain their minimum ratio!!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
To assist you in maintaining a good ratio into the future, here's some advice that may help:
======Advice for Our Members; How To Maintain a Healthy Ratio======
You should check to see that you have port forwarding set up properly. Your computer is much more difficult to "see" (IE your downloads can be painfully slow, and members have a harder time uploading to, or downloading from your computer), if your torrent client port is NOT being forwarded.
Here is a MINI-TUTORIAL I wrote up on this topic, in the forum: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/29909/port-forwarding-mini-tutorial-updated-11-13-2017
A small donation can resolve your ratio problems quickly, while helping us cover the numerous expenses of continuing to host the GAYtorrent.ru site.
Upload your OWN torrent. It's easy to do, (just make sure it is not a duplicate) and then all that upload data credit is YOURS…at least until other seeders join in 
DO NOT STOP your torrent nor torrent client, after uploading completes. KEEP IT RUNNING, so you can continue seeding to the next members who want this video, and help improve your ratio.
If it's your FIRST successful upload, you can request to be rewarded with a 600 Bonus Point AWARD(!!!) which can be traded in for 10GB of UPLOAD CREDIT!!! Here's the link to the forum topic that covers the rules and procedures for the FTU (First Time Uploaders) program:
https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/7663/first-time-uploader-program-ftup
It also includes the link to the FTU moderator, so you can PM him with the details of your first successful upload (as required, to receive your credit).
If you ever wish to earn upload credit for reseeding videos (where you already have the video on your hard drive), the illustrated procedure is here: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/44269/reseeding-a-short-concise-tutorial-about-how-to-reseed
The best way to continue to earn upload credit is to seed EVERYTHING you download, forever. This means DO NOT STOP your torrent nor torrent client, after downloading completes. KEEP IT RUNNING, so it can seed to the next member who wants this video, and help improve your ratio. While continuing to seed, you'll be earning a bonus point every two hours you offer to seed, regardless of whether other members are downloading from you or not.
Keep a very close eye on your Ratio, since it will take considerably more time to UPLOAD than it did to download. I would suggest you activate certain columns in your torrent client, so as to keep a close eye on each torrent statistics, in the future. On most torrent programs, you can right-click in the column headings and choose additional columns to be able to view.
I personally recommend "Name", "Size", "Done", "Added on", "Status", "Completed", "Down Speed", "Up Speed", "Seeds", "Ratio", "Peers", "ETA", and Tracker" as essential information and sort-columns. On most torrent programs, you activate these headings by right-clicking on the headings, and selecting and de-selecting your headings, as needed. You can also re-size the headings, by clicking and holding down on the right side of the heading, and dragging it a little bit to the left. You can reposition the columns by clicking (on the column heading) and holding down the mouse button, dragging the column left or right, as desired.
Initially choose only new torrents to download that seem popular, to insure that you will have others downloading (from you, to raise your ratio) after you finish. Our site runs a bit different than other torrent sharing porn sites, because of the vast number of new torrents that get uploaded every day. This tends to make the "popularity" of new torrents be rather short-lived; thus you need to really choose VERY RECENT torrents to download, to share, when trying to repair your ratio.
Freeleech Torrents can be downloaded without affecting your ratio. Even with download rights taken away, you can download any freeleech torrent, as long as it stays freeleech: Torrents which are freeleech will give you whatever you upload added to your ratio… but the size of the movie wont be added to your download, which means that it will only be a positive effect on your ratio (or neutral, if you don't upload anything at all). Do note: if the freeleech timer runs out however, whatever's left on the torrent will be added to your ratio.
Here's the current list of freeleech torrents; They have NO negative effect on your ratio, as long as they remain free leech, however they do tend to have MANY seeders:
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?showsearch=1&infl=1
After you download, in order to earn upload credit (sharing) you must keep the torrents running, keep your torrent client program running, and your computer turned on and connected to the internet, preferably ALL the time, if at all possible.
You can also perform many tasks here on the board in order to earn Bonus Points, which can be traded in for Upload credit to improve your ratio. If you click on your Ratio: ( https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rationator.php ) you will see many various ways to earn Bonus Points, besides getting a detailed explanation on how your Ratio is maintained.

Almost daily, members write the helpdesk with this question… WHERE is the Wishlist? ~or~ How do I see my Wishlist?
And HERE'S the answer, along with a full explanation of GTRU's form of a "Wishlist" :blind:
The "Wishlist" is sort of a marking-for-later-download… (when ratio permits, for example)
Make sure your browser window width is set to be at least 1200 pixels wide.
When you search for torrents, https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php
… then when you see a torrent that you want to mark for later decision or further research or later download, etc, click on the words "Wish List", on the far right of the listing. The words "Wish List" will change to yellow.
Similarly, now, with the latest website update, every torrent that you view now has a "Wishlist" button next to the "Download" button, at screen top.
Clicking that button will make the star fill in solid.
Either of these action set the "Wishlist" flag on that torrent, linked with your profile.
Then, any time later on, when you go to the search function again...
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php
Search example: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?infn=1&inbook=1
You can, at any time, click on the words "Wish List" in the search window (or the Wishlist button in the torrent presentation) a second time, to remove the torrent from your Wish List.
In addition, downloaded "Wishlist" torrents are automatically removed from your "Wishlist"once you've downloaded them.
Take care,

=======How to Downgrade to uTorrent 2.2.1 build 25302=========
The latest version of uTorrent become your worst nightmare?
Trapped by the "3.n.n or latest version of uTorrent, which is buggy beyond being functional anymore?
FRUSTRATED at the MALWARE in the current versions of uTorrent that OPEN ADVERTISING WEB PAGES, at ANY time, UNCONTROLLABLY?
The 3.4.2 version ALSO is incompatible with the legacy "folder structure" used in torrents that contain multiple files / folders!
Did you know that some torrent client programs "blacklist" versions of uTorrent that are 3 and above? It's true!
This VERY popular topic can be found… HERE===>>> https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=22654.0
You might have been unaware that we have Straight and Bisexual Categories here, since they are (by default) hidden.
In order to see Straight and Bisexual Categories, you'll need to make sure your profile isn't set to block them (default).
Go to your profile settings page here: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/my.php and make sure "Straight [] (Turn off Straight categories)" AND "Bisexual [] (Turn off Bisexual categories)" are NOT checked.

There isn't a "user function" for changing your user name.
However, there's a roundabout method of doing this, with my assistance.

Hi,
The DVD Category was eliminated a while back, thus all references to Power-Users, visibility, and DVDs are no longer valid. Sorry that this confusing info is still on the site.
Thus your uploaded DVD will be visible to all members.
DVDs now get uploaded in their category of video type… and you should

Ok
Here's the instructions for downloading and installing the CLASSIC version of uTorrent we recommend here at GTRU: https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=22654.0
If you don't already have some other version of uTorrent on your PC then skip the first instructions, and start with the line that begins: "Download…"
Good luck!

Ok, of the FOUR seeders that are managing to connect up to me… YOU are not one of them.
I don't see you.
You said your checked port forwarding on port # 33433 is that right?
Check Vuze settings:
Our tracker has a function switched off, which causes seeding issues with Vuze's default settings.
Have a look here for adapted settings > https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=16166.0
If this doesn't help, I'd highly recommend you installing uTorrent CLASSIC (the OLD version sans-malware one)
Let me know if you want instructions for installing this, and I'll send you the information packet.
I have BOTH Vuze and uTorrent Classic installed on my computer, since Vuze does a better job blocking Main Stream Hollywood Torrent Blocking interference data... on new Hollywood movie releases... but that's about all I use it for.

well, let me try downloading something from you, as I'm a HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOADER :cheesy2: and not downloading ANYTHING at the moment on my highspeed fibre Internet connection… :cheesy2:
Downloading now...
I'm that guy based in Thailand; see me?
Gathering stats now....
I think you should test to see if you have your port forwarding properly set up.

Here's a FULL DETAILED write up on QTM… Installation, Advice, and KNOWN Issues, along with work-arounds...
EVERY DAY, like clockwork, members write the helpdesk with the SAME ISSUE, (torrent client CANNOT find the video file(s), and thus tries to DOWNLOAD it, which is impossible) :crazy2: quite often described in different terms…
Take THIS ONE example, from just an hour ago:
Member writes:
I've followed everything from the help guide and everything checks out, but i still can't upload not sure why. It's weird that the total size MB of files is different. IN bittorrent says the file is 365.2 MB but the actual file shows that it's 383 MB. i double checked and it doesn't seem to be missing a video. When I look in bittorrent under the trackers tab, it shows that DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange is not allowed. Any idea if that has anything to do with the issue? Thanks!
So this was my BEST [USED DAILY and refined over time] helpdesk response: NOTE that "folder with the videos" would have been just "videos" had he uploaded a single video:
Hi, {estemed member},
I think you neglected to put the folder with the videos {or video} in the same folder location you use to download your porn into. Your other points: Those tracker settings are normal for private torrent trackers. The sizes you mentioned sound like the common difference when 1k is 1000 in one expression and 1024 in another.
Your problem is a common issue with our members… and it's usually is due to WHERE, on your computer, you located the files or folders you wish to upload.
If you located the video file ANYWHERE on your computer other than where you usually DOWNLOAD your porn to, your torrent client won't find the video file to seed... and your upload will fail, AND the torrent presentation here will be "dead" and NOT visible, until you seed them.
Many members have this same problem, because they didn't understand that they needed to have a copy of the video (the one you are trying to share) in the same folder you usually download your porn into.
Please follow the below instructions, step by step, and see if we can get the torrent seeding:
Delete the torrent…just the torrent in your torrent program (if the torrent isn't in your torrent program, continue to the next step).
Then make sure that there is a copy of the file you are uploading in the FOLDER THAT YOUR TORRENT PROGRAM USES FOR STORING TORRENTS THAT ARE DOWNLOADING...where your active downloads are located on your computer.
click the big Blue "Download" button again, on your torrent page on GayTorrent.ru.
Watch the download page of your torrent program and see if it "checks" the file to 100%, and then moves it to the completed download page of your torrent program.
At that point you should be complete, and within a few minutes you should be seeding your torrent.
If this doesn't solve your torrent problem, then please click on "Helpdesk" above in the blue bar, and explain your problem. One of our staff with answer you as soon as possible for one on one help. We want to help you get this torrent running properly.
One additional point, regarding the ability to reseed torrents… later on...
You can NOT rename any files or folders in your downloaded videos… if you wish to reseed them, later on.
Also, to see all of your torrents, click on your name upper left under the blue bar, and go to the bottom of that page and click on the different types of torrents.

Alternatively… here are the simplified manual web-based uploader instructions:
. . . . . . . . . . . .
The illustrated guide for uploading is HERE: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/uploadguide.php
This web-based Uploader is HERE: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/doupload.php
…you don't upload video files, you follow the instructions to create a tiny .torrent file, then on the web-based Uploader, you create a torrent presentation, then you upload the .torrent file you created earlier, then finish off, by re-downloading your torrent from the site here.
Don't forget to locate your video file in your computer hard disk folder where you download your porn to, with your torrent client program. That's the most common mistake members seem to make.
And when you create your .torrent file, you'll be using your torrent client program to create this. Don't forget to
1 Enter the tracker URL as:```
http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/announce
**2 Unselect the option to start immediate seeding after the torrent creation.**
3 Select that it is a Private Torrent Tracker
**4 Make sure the video (or folder with videos) is located in the same location on your computer that you DOWNLOAD porn to… otherwise your new uploaded torrent will fail to be able to be seeded, at your end.**
…as explained in the Illustrated Upload Guide, mentioned above.
Good Luck!!

GTRU StaffIn that vein (of just HOW to be the "winner" of that race to be the first uploader…) What to do??
Could I make some suggestions?
If YOU and another member are racing to upload a NEW VIDEO, that's just been released... and you OFTEN find yourself thwarted by that other member, beating you by just by a matter of minutes [so FRUSTRATING, right??] I think the following ideas could work for you:
You COULD just upload the bare-bones version of the torrent presentation, (Title and tiny Description ONLY) to start with. This gets the upload date and time established.
Then, (to avoid your upload being reported by other members for missing description and pictures, and [remotely] risking loss of your Auto-Approval Rights) ASAP!!! Repeatedly EDIT your upload…
ADD a GOOD description, and revise the title, if needed… and...
for starters, maybe add just ONE good picture… NOW, you've followed the basic rules. THEN, you can take your time creating screen-caps, and then (AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID OTHER MEMBERS UPLOADING PICTURES BEFORE YOU)..
ADD ALL your lovely pictures… perhaps even deleting the original picture you had uploaded, earlier. NOTE that pictures added via editing your torrent will be added in reverse order to the way they are shown in the final torrent presentation; thus LAST picture added… will be the FIRST picture displayed.
What do you think of this idea?
If you needed help deleting sub-par pictures already added to your torrent prior to YOU being able to upload good pictures, [on a limited basis, please] you could PM me click here to PM me or PM your favorite staff member, and we'll do our best to review your torrent presentation pictures, and edit (delete sub-par pictures) as requested and needed.
Take care,

One thing you can do (to insure that your computer is easily visible to other members) is to check that the port your torrent client program is using is properly forwarded.
Here's a tutorial on just that issue:
Port Forwarding MINI-Tutorial (updated 6/23/2017)
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=46634.0
This topic is covered in the uTorrent help file, and please note that the FINAL sentence seems rather definitive on this question…
Quote:
Protocol Encryption
• The Outgoing dropdown menu allows you to select the mode of encryption that you prefer µTorrent to establish. All modes will accept incoming encrypted connections, and the encryption is 2-way.
--Disabled will force µTorrent to attempt to establish only unencrypted outgoing connections.
--Enabled will allow µTorrent to establish encrypted and unencrypted outgoing connections, depending on how the peer responds to the handshake. This is the recommended option, as it provides µTorrent with the largest pool of peers to pick from for connecting to.
--Forced forces µTorrent to establish only encrypted outgoing connections. Any peer that doesn't support encryption will not be connected to. It is recommended that you not use this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted outgoing connections, as it can impair your ability to connect to peers.
• Allow incoming legacy connections allows µTorrent to accept unencrypted incoming connections. If disabled, any incoming connection that is unencrypted will be ignored. It is recommended that you not disable this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted incoming connections, as it can significantly impair your ability to connect to peers.
