The effect you described in the initial post of this topic is typical for torrent clients not being connectible. As soon as there are other seeds available which are connectible, the clients of downloading peers will be better and faster served by those connectible and (almost) nobody will need to download from the not connectible. So the not connectible is used as source only as long as he is the only source.
There are plenty topics about this, just look in the Guides section of the Forum.
Your share ratio felt below 0.95, which leads to a demotion from "Power User" to "User". See your "Profile" from the blue menu band for that.
The "Lurker" rank is a notion inside the Forum and depends on your participation there, only and has no effect to seeing torrents etc …
Now you profit from a recent change that the DVD format content sharing torrents are merged into the other categories accessible to users and no longer exist as own.
At least now your numbers have considerably gown up …
Are you sure it were 200 MB and not 200 KB? With uploading an own torrent a jump from 200 KB (from seeding back downloaded torrents with low demand) to 800 MB is very possible.
The tracker adds upload and download to the totals. Negative delta between two announcements by your client are very unlikely (never seen that, except cheating clients and here for download only >:D )
If you haven't voted for categories, you could use the "Show torrents not yet voted?" link.
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?vote
While it is limited to 250 results, as soon as you've voted it will fill up to 250 until less than 250 not voted are left.
If your BitTorrent installation wasn't effected, you could try to look in its .torrent file store to find the .torrent files. If you haven't changed the default location in the BitTorrent "Directories" settings, it is in %AppData%/bittorrent (type that in the left top address bar of the windows file explorer (not IE!).
Can you the KEEP it trying to download in your torrent client, so that we can have a look which and for what possible reasons …?
The login duration you see is that visiting the Forum (only) and has absolutely nothing to do with your share ratio. It doesn't count visiting other locations of GayTorrent.ru like the "Search" torrent list, your "Profile" or the "Home" page.
It would be interesting to know at which "total" you are looking. Is it the UL / DL numbers in the middle below the blue menu bar OR is it the UL/DL to a torrent in the Profile?
The tracker only ADDS to the grand total UL and DL in the middle below the blue menu bar. So that getting less is a first time heard complaint… :crazy2:
However, if you look in your Profile to a torrent's UL / DL, as these numbers are tracker connection session based, they reset to zero after each session (of course all the sessions UL / DL is added to the grand total).
What counts to your UL, DL and Seed Bonus Points for seeding is running your torrent client, not being on the site.
You should read about the First Time Upload Program in the Forum and try to claim the 600 bonus points (conditions apply).
Please try now again…
Could you please be more specific what did not work. Was there a failure message, if yes, where and what did it say?
A "Wrestling and Sports" category has been added. Now it needs to be populated - start the votes!
Remark: at least 10 votes for a category are required to change its main category
This is indeed a recurrent subject and will never have an all members satisfying solution. I don't see what that other topic got locked and have unlocked it.
The easy part to answer is why straight porn got allowed: it was requested by members focusing on the male models in straight porn. Especially straight porn with older male models got a strong followship among members into older male (there seems to be a lack of older male gay porn). There have been put filter options in the Profile settings, so that "pussies" can almost be filtered out (except when wrong categorized, which is worth a report).
GayTorrent.ru doesn't aim to be a general movies (and porn) tracker. Therefore the non-porn requirements were always somewhat restrictive. The requirements were made lower by changing "Gay" themed into LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans* and Questioning) themed and allowing with "recurrent subplot" (only) over the times.
When a torrent is reported for sharing content not fulfilling the "LGBTQ themed" or "voyeurism of the adult male physics" requirements the staff takes considerable efforts to review the shared content, often involving multiple members of the staff, reading reviews, questioning the uploader or even viewing the movie.
This would become even more difficult if sharing content stamped "gay interest", (gay/queer) "camp" or "gay cult", because how to verify and/or decide it is that or not …?
Then there is so much choice, that recommending a particular gets difficult.
You could look at https://opentrackers.org/tracker-list/ in the Movies/TV group for the "HD Movies" tracker reviews.
You mean HD films in general or GLBTQ films in particular?
@revenger: you should try to get the 600 bonus points from the First Time Upload Program and i think cannonmc is right: missing downloading peers.
There are two other important files there resume.dat (with the stats and torrents) and settings.dat (with the settings).
If you copy those from the old uTorrent AppData to the new together with all the .torrent file, µTorrent should start as before.
The display described by the topic opener in the initial post is actually the AJAX IRC Shoutbox normal message when joining it.
That there is no other messages is due to the shoutbox now being less populated. The white field at the very bottom of the window is to enter own messages (hit enter to post it).
You need to claim those points, they won't arrive automatically.

The peers I see are all seeding (there are many) and nobody is currently downloading.
So as in the previous answer, try VERY new torrents, 1 file only, 1 seeder only and yet few downloading peers ("ride the wave" as a member called it)
or
the freeleech torrents
I'd take only torrents for files I like too keep and seed them "eternally".
24 hours for a correctly seed torrent of middle size (1 - 2 GB) is sufficient. That is the minimum, but longer is possible to select.
It will be impossible to sort something out on the torrent which you moved the files and removed it from your client. I've no access to data on not completed downloads torrents.
Only think you could do, is to watch the delta upload on the freeleech you seed and if it is reflected in the account's total upload.
As you do not use the secure http tracker (https://…), I'm wondering if you use by coincidence a proxy service like BT Guard. I had experienced with that service that only about a 4th of my up- and downloads were registered here and never could find out why... Since I've changed to a VPN service up- and downloads get registered correctly.
I wasn't saying your download is wrong … , but more important, you don't answer to my 3 questions, please do.
The indication in the search that you've downloaded it is a light or is it a middle green? A light green means .torrent file downloaded, but download of the files not completed. That would perfectly explain the high download, but it not appearing in your Profile (unless you seed it).
I'm as well wondering where you see the 15 GB upload?
