yer i think a different way needs to be developed, i myself have trouble recognising the priority of things so it gets quite hard to pin point what is top. processing is a bit of a struggle too and when given a huge amount of information i just get totally lost

@leeniedo You know, I tried going into the comments there to nudge that guy regarding etiquette, and he's ignored my comment and added 3 more demands in the span of 25 minutes. Considering he's only been on the site since January and his ratio is already tanked (0.03, requiring nearly 150GB upload just to get back to his minimum 0.55) you would think he would be better off concentrating on avoiding ratio-jail.

I feel embarrassed for the poor fool who invited him to the site.

I noticed that I can't use cock.li mail accounts but it's a legitimate mail service (albeit with a funny name). The mail accounts created with cock.li aren't disposable (i.e. they don't expire after 20 minutes). It would be nice to be able to use it.

Also, I've found that if there's a very new torrent containing many files, and I download just a few of them, my upload ratio on that torrent will be very large.  I was in "ratio basement" a while back after a disk crash, and this saved me.

YES, but this torrent, being only partially downloaded (IE FILES SKIPPED) will FOREVER stay in your "Leeching Torrents" list, tying up one more of your download slots… forever.

Quite true…but once the torrent withers and nobody is downloading the material, I can delete the torrent and free up that slot.  I suppose having a free slot is a good thing, but I digress....

:cheesy2:

its happen 3 days ago after that cant even download a files or the files got halfway downloaded and cannot continue

@eobox91103:

Sometimes I'm only interested in a few of the files in a multi-file torrent.  Once I have those, I often keep the torrent active so I can seed other users–so my user profile will show me as leeching lots of torrents, even though I'm no longer leeching files, just seeding them.  Is there a down side to having my statistics look "bad" this way?  It seems to be working out fine.

On a related note (and maybe off-topic for this thread), my ratio is about 4.0, thanks to moving back to a city and having a high-speed connection.  Am I running up the score here and not letting other users with low ratios seed more volume?

As noted in the previous comment - this results in downloading one or a few files from a 'pack' - only to have them shared but showed as leeched.

the only option is just to remove them (after sharing for a long while) - just to remove a few 'blockers' on downloading rules.

pity that this cant be fixed in some other way… but ...  I'll just have to regularly check what is showing as 'leeching' from packs.

@ezekiel22 said in NEW RESEEDING PROCEEDURE TUTORIAL!!! (link):

I tried everything... doesnt work... its so complicated now, is it me or it was easier few months ago ?

If you think about what using a torrent really is, then re-seeding shouldn't be all THAT complicated.

Remember, tho: a torrent file is a DESCRIPTOR of content (including a checksum to ensure validity). Whether you have created the .torrent or not, the fact is: if you add a torrent to your client, and the content is ALREADY THERE, you will immediately begin to SEED that torrent.

Now: already there has to be an exact match! All the folder and file names have to match, and all of the file-part-checksums have to match! But if the contents check out, re-downloading a torrent is a re-seed!

Mind you: because this is a private tracker, and therefore your ID has to be added to every seed/leech activity (for accountability), you actually re-seed your uploaded torrents!

When you upload a new torrent, the tracker builds a NEW .torrent file (not the one you uploaded) that you have to use to re-seed your torrent! Otherwise, it's never seeded to begin with. Because you're downloading a new .torrent file for content you already have, you're techincally re-seeding your upload! 🙂

If you're still having issues, contact the HELP DESK. Staffers there are usually helpful!

@MrMazda said in RESEEDING!!! A SHORT / CONCISE TUTORIAL about HOW to RESEED!!:

@jemoenn To answer your two questions....

You can download the .torrent file to anywhere you want. You can delete the .torrent file after you reseed it, just do not remove the torrent from uTorrent or delete the file(s) for the torrent.

Right click the torrent, then click "Force Re-Check"

Thank you bro ; )

@Pawpcorn said in NEW RULE!! Picture Spamming may lead to Warned Account status!!! Example::

The task of Picture Approval is often one of the most backlogged (log jammed :D) tasks presented to our all-volunteer staff; at this exact moment, there are 89 torrents with over 900 pictures waiting to be reviewed (and probably) approved by staff.

Although I am relatively new here, I might be interested in helping out with Picture Approval backlogs. I'm an experienced semi-retired pro-photographer with extensive image editing experience. Due to having to rapidly edit out images of my own work, I'm likely able to spot duplicates quite quickly. Among other things. I often enjoy looking at the thumbnails here as much as the video content. 🙂
