    • RE: Tracker gave HTTP response code 404 (Not Found)

      Our tracker got the scrape function switched off for increased privacy. A torrent client has to join the swarm as "active" peer to get information on the peers. If the torrent is just queued, a scrape error will be shown. So if your torrents are just queued, it is "normal" and you might change the priority settings or force start to get them running.

      If your torrents are in "Seeding" or "Downloading" status (means not queued downloading or seeding), the cause is another and we have to look for other solutions than starting them.

    • RE: Leeching instead of seeding?

      The effect on your account's share ratio depends on the upload and download amount of data your torrent client programme BitTorrent will report to the tracker.

      Uploaded data reported will have a positive effect, downloaded data a negative. It is not the status which counts but the data traffic. So if you see now downloading of data in your client programme, it wound report downloaded data to the tracker, means no negative effect.

      What you observe is typical for torrents with multiple files in their file list, when it is chosen to download only a part of them.

      The torrent protocol knows only seeder and leecher. For a tracker only peers which have all files can be count as seeder. Therefore if only a part of the files is downloaded and seed, still the tracker counts the peer as leecher. However, the tracker receiving only amounts of uploaded data from the torrent client programme, will add it correctly to the upload and therefore the ratio is effected positively. The torrent client programme knows that the download of the desired file(s) are finished and shows seeding at the same time.

    • RE: My Profile Pic Not Showing

      Every member got 2 Profiles on GayTorrent.ru:

      1/ The site Profile, which is reached by clicking on the "Profile" in the blue menu band on the top of our pages. It is that Profile picture, which is seen next to the comments to torrents.

      2/ The forum Profile, which is reached by clicking on the "Profile" in another blue menu band, lower on the page, if the forum is visited, just above the Forum categorises and sections. It is that Profile picture, which is displayed next to the forum messages.

      Both got an independent setting for the avatar picture.

      –---

      The link you've provided in the site Profile (1/), goes to a http server outside GayTorrent.ru. However with the change to SSL encrypted connection for more privacy of GayTorrent.ru all http prefixes were changed into https. Your picture server doesn't allow a https connection. You could place the picture in our bitbucket.

    • RE: Besoin d'aide µtorrent

      Bonjour patrick49,

      Ce problème peut avoir différentes causes, ou l'une peut cacher un autre. Il y a un très long topique à ce sujet dans notre forum Anglais. C'est juste à dire ça peut devenir un topique intéressant, utile pour des autre membres francophone et avec des avis et suggestions variées ici.

      1.) Les fichiers partagés n'ont pas de membre qui les téléchargent.
      Il suffit de regarder la liste des torrents "Currently Seeding" (Torrents en partage) dans le Profile.

      • S'il y a zéro "Leecher" (membres qui téléchargent), il n'y a pas d'upload (envoie / émission) des données.

        • S'il y a beaucoup d'autre "Seeder" (membres qui partagent les fichier d'un torrents), et en plus peu des téléchargeurs, il peu bien que ces peu préfèrent de télécharger chez des autre membres.

        En général,  c'est une question d'offre et demande.

        Remarque: Sur des torrents avec plusieurs fichiers, un "Leecher" peu être un "Seeder" caché. Le protocole bit torrent connaît soit des "Leecher, soi des "Seeder" et un "Seeder" peu être que quelqu’un qui a tous les fichiers. Donc si un membre a téléchargé juste une partie des fichers et les partage, il va apparaître comme téléchargeur au lieu de partageur.

        2.) Le programme client torrent (e.g. µTorrent) n'est pas "connectable" par des autres.
        Pour les anciens de eMule, c'est le équivalent de n'avoir pas une "high ID". Des cause peuvent être la configuration des parefeus, des suites de sécurité internet / anti virus et le renvoie des ports entrants au niveau de la box accès internet.

        µTorrent/BitTorrent a un utilitaire de test intégré: µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > sélectionnez le test "Network". Si tous est bien réglé, le résultat affiche un tique de chèque vert.

        Si le résultat est orange, sélectionnez d'activer la création d'une exception pour µTorrent dans la parefeu Windows et d'utiliser UPnP, puis redémarrez µTorrent. Des puristes de sécurité préfèrent une configuration manuelle à la place de utiliser UPnP.

        3.) Le programme client torrent est mal réglé pour le taux des données en téléchargement et émission et/ou saturé par des autres torrents.

        D'une coté il faut faire attention de ne pas allouer plus de bande passante (taux de données) que votre accès internet a réellement au client torrent (80% est la réglé général) et de choisir une nombre des connexions,  des torrents actif en téléchargement et émission adapté. Pour ceci il faut d'abord tester le bande passante disponible, puis sélectionner le "profil" qui va bien.

        µTorrent/BitTorrent a un utilitaire de test intégré: µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > sélectionnez le test "Bandwidth". Faites passer ce test plusieurs fois et choisissez le profil médian proposé à la fin des tests.

        D'autre coté, il peut que les torrents actif pour des autres tracker utilisent déjà toute la bande passante et que votre client va rependre au requête d’envoi des donnée "désolé, déjà occupé". En ce car, il faut arrêter des autre torrents actif ou leur donner une priorité plus bas.
        Malheureusement, il n'y a pas une réglage directe pour la priorité de l'upload dans µTorrent/BitTorrent (elle existe pour le téléchargement)

    • RE: Torrents will not seed once downloaded

      You might want to try different settings for "Protocol" encryption …

      Another possibility is that your connections are all already in use by other downloading and seeding torrents. You could run the "Bandwidth" test and select a proposed setting according to it's result.

    • RE: Torrents will not seed once downloaded

      @Bonk:

      … I very well can. ...

      Right, you can. However the only conclusion will be that seeding there is easier … for the reasons I've tried to explain and will try again in longer ways in this post.

      @Bonk:

      … I'm so tired of arguing with you. I can fiddle around with firewall settings, my router, any torrent client and I can properly upload/seed on any other tracker, in the end the problem with GTru doesn't lie on my side.

      There is visibly nothing wrong with your settings for the part you control. You get the peer information from the tracker and if I understand right, the "Network" test of µTorrent has a green check mark result (not only orange).

      @Bonk:

      … If you say your tracker has nothing to with the upload, why does it work on others but not yours? Blaming the others, that it's because of the minimum ratio, seems like a lame excuse to me again. ...

      Again, for the reasons I've tried to explain and will try again in longer ways in this post.

      –------

      You have to distinguish between 2 things:

      1/ The technical points:

      1a) The tracker configuration: The tracker is working well, you get the peer information from it, means the number of seeder, leecher and their IPs to connect to them. The tracker is adding up the upload and download statistics received from your torrent client. Please stop to accuse us to have the tracker not well configured!

      1b) The settings in your torrent client, firewalls, modem/router port forwarding: If your "Network" test is giving the above mentioned green check result, you've the configuration correct.

      –---

      2/ The site rules and the members dynamic resulting out of it:

      This is the what I've tried to point out and explains why upload data here is more difficult than on other trackers to which you compare.

      2a) The seeder to leecher ratio. The higher it is, the less each seeder can upload to the leecher. Gay-Torrents.org got  20.9 seeder per leecher, to my memory Gay-Torrents.net has a seeder to leecher ratio of about 23, we got a ratio of 48.76 seeder per leecher. That means uploading here is more than twice as difficult than on these two sites.

      2b) The number of new torrents per period. The original torrent uploader has no download, that means the leecher will always remain short of that original uploader upload portion. The more new torrents and the less members, the bigger the effect. Some numbers:

      | Tracker | New Last Week | Members | Members/New |
      | GayTorrent.ru | 558 | 60941 | 109 |
      | Gay-Torrents.org | 379 | 94237 | 248 |
      | Gay-Privacy.com | 195 | n/a | n/a |
      | Gay-Torrents.net | 164 | 254570 | 1552 |
      | OurGTN.org | 104 | 18099 | 174 |

      2c) The ratio of dead torrents, which if reseed will generate full amount of upload once someone starts downloading:

      | Tracker | Torrents | Dead | % of Dead |
      | Gay-Torrents.net | 30565 | 6122 | 20 |
      | GayTorrent.ru | 62937 | 15098 | 23 |
      | Gay-Torrents.org | 37221 | 10563 | 28 |
      | OurGTN.org | 11832 | 6294 | 53 |
      | Gay-Privacy.com | 2555 | 1451 | 56 |

      2d) The user base, the more members, the more potential downloads. Free inscription means more user turnover (new members, will download old torrents, thus increasing the share ratio of older members seeding)

      | Tracker | Members | Inscription |
      | Gay-Torrents.net | 254570 | open |
      | Gay-Torrents.org | 94237 | invitation, donation |
      | GayTorrent.ru | 60941 | invitation, open periods |
      | OurGTN.org | 18099 | invitation |
      | Gay-Privacy.com | n/a | invitation |

      2e) The dynamics of a torrent swarm, common to all tracker:

      New torrents are always those which are most downloaded. However, once the original uploader's initial seeding phase is over, the torrent swarm will turn over from leecher to mostly seeder. If a new torrent swarm is joint lately, close to that turning point, no upload can be expected.

      Then, after there is a long period with many seeds, but only occasional downloader. That generates only little upload for any of the seeds. Only when a torrent gets close to it's dead, with only a few seeds left it's occasional downloads will generate good upload for the (few) seeder left.

      That is why I recommend to download only torrents which are liked, so that one keeps the file(s) for a long period, means over years. It isn't a sure approach to count on new torrents. One can't know most of the time to be early enough.

      –---

      Of course, you it is arguable if the set of GayTorrent.ru's rules is good, can be improved (sure it can) and if the resulting members behaviour is the desired. There are indicators which say that they are not that bad:

      • The number of alive torrents
      • The number of new uploads

      This is a result of the high minimum share ratio requirements. They put the pressure to keep seeding downloaded torrents and to upload own new torrents.

      The drawback of that is the rather difficult start to new members to built a good share ratio (anything around 1.000 is good), which anyway will go yo-yo at the beginning. However, there are the Seed Bonus Points and since recently the Freeleech torrents, which can help any member really willing out of a bad share ratio.

      Another drawback of the higher share ratio requirements is that multiple tracker members will prefer downloading torrents on tracker without share ratio requirements (Gay-Torrents.net, OurGTN.org) or with lower requirements (Gay-Torrents.org). There I can only remind that each download will generate upload at the seeder, which will increase it's ratio and therefore will be able to download and so on ...


      With above I don't want to say that a tracker is better than another. All these tracker have a different approach and history. For example:

      • If you look for your daily entertainment without hustle, Gay-Torrents.net is certainly a place to go
      • OurGTN.org got a very friendly forum and a small but close community of original torrent releasers, you'll find some precious items there. It got a large mature section, too. Lastly there is no minimum share ratio.
      • Gay-Privacy is quite new. That gives the opportunity to take profit from being an early member, by jumping seeding on the numerous dead torrents, upload own torrents etc ... all what allows to reach a privileged member status.
      • Finally there are Gay-Torrents.org and GayTorrent.ru, with quite a similar approach. I think especially GayTorrent.ru is a "must" for all serious collectors. The rules are made for that.

      All this said, there is something you can improve in your own seeding behaviour. While you've downloaded many torrent's files, out of which a lot got only 1 seed, you seed only 2 torrents with many other seeds. These 2 torrents are multiple file torrents, where the leecher are likely hidden seeder, which don't have all files ; therefore no upload can be expected on these two.
      You'll  be better of restarting seeding the old torrents with only 1 other seed or even better, no other seed.

    • RE: Introducing Minimum Requirements for Titles, Pictures and Descriptions?

      The rewarding with points of duplicate reports worked very well. As of  sudden hundreds of duplicates were reported being on the site for ages. It seems people need to get something to find it worth helping, so don't be surprised if the site takes if something is wanted (e.g. Freeleech).

      The interesting input which I take from the few non-staff members' contributions are that the pictures are more important to them than the title or description text. Therefore to improve the user experience, picture upload and associated verification are the vectors of improvement to work on.

      As moderator and/or collector our expectations are different, we try to identify each torrent's files as not being banned content. That doesn't require long descriptions, just a few key indications are sufficient. The worst thing for us are user invented titles.

    • RE: Torrents will not seed once downloaded

      Our tracker delivers correctly the peer information. Uploading and downloading is done directly between the peers' torrent client programmes and not via the tracker. Therefore it has nothing to do with the tracker, as long as the tracker delivers the peers IPs to the torrent clients.

      You can not compare the ease of upload on public trackers like rarbg.com and publicbt.com or trackers without minimum ratio like ourgtn.org or with low minimum ratio requirements like gay-torrents.org with our tracker. We got much more seeder per leecher than those.

    • RE: Collection question

      You need to have selected in µTorrent > Options > Preferences > UI Settings > When Adding Torrents "Show options to change the name and location of the torrent data". That will pop-up the before mentioned window in which you can selected which files to download (and to where with which file name) when you add a torrent to µTorrent.

      If you've missed that window (many user just click to quickly over it with "OK"), you can still set to download only some files under the "Files" tab in µTorrent's lower window part. Highlight the torrent and then chose to see the "Files" tab. There is a "Priority" column, right mouse button click on a file (Mac user Ctrl+click) and chose "Don't download" for the files you do not like to get.

      –---

      There is one inconvenience in downloading not all files. For a tracker you will count as a leecher, so if you have too many such seeding, you will get above our allowed downloading torrents at once. (You can simply stop that torrents for a while to download others).

    • RE: Errors - what can I do?

      Our tracker got scrape support switched off. Therefore requests from torrent client programmes to scrape information will be answered by our tracker with an error code, which each torrent client programme translates in it's own message to the user.

      A scrape error on any torrent which is stopped or queued is normal with or tracker and should not cause you any special worries.

      The "File not found" refers to the tracker, not to the data file on your PC.

      –---

      You might want to change the seeding priority settings of your torrent client programme, so that it continues to seed above a ratio of 0.50.

    • RE: Centralized Freeleech Discussions

      Just some words: We are still experimenting with the settings to find the right balance. After each change it's effect to the members behaviour needs to be observed over a longer period until it stabilizes.

      Currently for example Moderators can't make torrents freeleech, even not with their points, so that the statistics show only the normal user behaviour and not the moderator actions while trying to revive old dead torrents.

      For the interested people, once the freeleech started almost 35% of all downloads were freeleech, that is clearly too much for any share ratio based tracker. Then we reduced the duration of freeleech on moderator promoted torrents, but that reduced the rate only to around 25 to 30%.

      Those who think the freeleech option is to expensive overlook that they "buy" it not only for themselves, but for lets say 100 other members, which means if the "price" is devided by the number of freeleech downloads, it becomes really "cheap".

      Personally I "dream" about changes to the freeleech which will make it less expensive the older and the less well seed a torrent is, so that old torrents from the back catalogue become attractive to be made freeleech, downloaded and new life. Those which many avoid to download, though they like to, because they can't seed back immediately.

      The freeleech can't be meant principally for top new torrents, which the masses download anyway, freeleech or not.

      All those are unacceptably named in my opinion (apart from the first). And the lack of description will not help people using GT.ru's excellent search. …

      Thanks to the cover picture I've been able to put director and stars names into the description and add the studio to the title of the first example. This make that information searchable. Of course with further search on the internet more could be done, but then we don't have the time.

      We allow descriptions in other languages than English, including those using non Latin based character sets. Of course uploader should put as well a minimum description in English as it is the language uses as most common to our user base.

      The difficulties to enforce the respect of any requirements is one of the reasons why we haven't brought this forward earlier. Another is what canonmc mentioned: upload should be easy and not be reserved to a technical or experienced elite.

      We think that the only valid solution will be to have a site built-in validation.
