Yes, it is what I mean.

However, the time to deterioration is very variable and depends on many factors, some listed above. Other potential sources are sticker (glue), prints, notes on the discs.

Of course they can last for more (or less) than 2 years in most cases, you will only know when it is too late…I don't want to seed panic. Anyway, if you look around, you will find that the perfect backup / storage does not exists and numerical creations are more on risk as classical support arts (Books, pictures, vinyl, celluloid) if not backed up regulary.

Best is you search in specialized forums about recordable media.

Pressed CD and DVD are lasting very long, their manufacturing process and structure is different. However in early times, there were issues by glue or other chemicals used.

Members who uploaded torrents which have been approved (or are users with auto-approval previlege) and are not seeding them as required until at least 3 other seeder will become available will get knowledge of my dark side.

I have used today's calm new torrents posting to make a first raid against this abuse. Our members trying to download those torrents are just wasting their bandwidth and ratio. This is not acceptable.

Beware, you have not seen my darkest sides ! >:D

As of today, I'll spend daily some time to chase these infraction.

If you have difficulties seeding, better you read the support forum and ask for help. Yes we help where ever possible!

DVD-R have are become unreadable quite soon. It depends on the disc media, storage conditions, the burner etc… but it can happen in less than 2 years.

Since big hard disk drives are quite cheap these days 1TB ~ 75 € (compare with 200 DVD-R) and the manufactures don't stop to progress, I upgrade regularly my drives. In addition, I keep a backup copy on another drive.

Currently my downloading drive is almost plenty and I need time to move files in an orderly way to regain ability to download.

Hopefully I can effort next month an additional 1.5 TB drive, so that I can use my 2 older 1 TB drives to replace my 2x 320 GB system drives (RAID 0).

But anyone here should be aware, that what ever he does, it's never enough (storage space).

Zum Einladen musst Du den Power User Rang erreichen, dazu muss folgendes erfüllt sein:

• Registriert hier seit mehr als 30 days (Mitglied sind hier ja wohl alle ;D)
• Ratio über 1,050
• Upload über 40GB

Sonst gibt es auch den Ersten jeden Monats, freie Registrierung ohne Einladung.

However, don't request or upload that above mentioned video.

Hello LAMB,

The error message "Scrape Error: File Not Found" is normal, because the GayTorrent.ru tracker does not support that function for non active torrents.

However to get your torrent to be approved, it must be in Seeding, not Queued. It looks like Vuze changed functioning since the last update and causing that trouble. Perhaps of the other (tracker) torrents you have active, raeching already your Vuze setting of active torrents…?

–- Edit 2009-10-03 ---
As I am learning, the right way to have torrent seed in Vuze / Azureus are to make the following settings (actually advised already more upstairs in this topic by another moderator):

Preferences --> Queue --> Seeding --> First Priority --> A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers

Queue –> Seeding --> Ignore Rules --> uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers

It may take a while until things settle ( up to an hour).

Another brute solution is to force start of the torrent in Vuze.

@scottbear:

my only problem is that I sometime download something and for some reason Vuze wont let it seed back to the site - I do download more than from this sit but I do want to help with the seeding

You may look in Vuze's Tools > Options > drop down Queue > drop down Seeding > First Priority > A share ratio under and set it to at least "1:1" (Ratio = 1.000 or 100%) or higher i/o the default 1:2 (Ratio = 0.500 or 50%).

That should keep them seeding in priority.

My last GNU/Linux configuration last to much time to be of help, Gentoo at that time.

The way described by a user was using the "sudo" method, to my experience not all distributions have or allow that method to acquire root user rights. Some need to loin as user "root".

Thanks to the feedback from members (and staff) being on Mac OS X and Linux, we will be able to send an improved version in case of need (I am knocking on wood) including instructions for that system.

This far, I have seen instructions for Ubuntu Desktop, only, but not for other distributions.

That is like the free Vista upgrade on Windows XP new PC bought just before the launch of Vista. Nothing for Vista users since about 3 years like me when Windows 7 will hit the market.

I was trying out Vista beta releases, but now on Windows 7 beta period, I've other things to do to waste my time.

Hallo Keule22x5,

Da hast Du leider etwas falsch verstanden..

Die UL Zahl hat in der kleinsten hinter dem Komma Stelle ~10 MB Schritte. Bei deiner duchschnittlichen UL Rate von 20 kB/s brauchst Du ungefähr 1,5 Stunden damit diese sich um einen Punkt (0.01 GB = ~10MB) erhöht.

Die 1,5 Stunden beziehen sich auf den Upload (UL) bei einer Uploadrate von 20kB/s (des Mitglieds dem ich anwortete), die sich dann um die kleinste sichbare Grösse von 0.01 GB erhöht, z.B. von 12.14 GB auf 12.14 GB.

Wobei ich mich verrechnet hatte um den Faktor 10 da:
1,5 Stunden = 5400 Sekunden; 5400 mal 20KB/s = 108000 KB; 108000 KB geteilt durch 1024 KB pro GB = ~ 105 MB, braucht also nur 9 Minuten

Bonus Punkte werden unabhängig von der UL Rate für gesammelt. Es gibt 0.5 Punkte für jede Stunde Seeden (Hochladen). Ein Bonus fûr Leute mit schmalen Internetanschluss.

Hier handelt es sich um Bonuspunkte, nicht Ratio. Ab 100 Bonuspunkte (200 Stunden seeden) kann man sie gegen GB in der Upload Statistic eintauschen: 100 Punkte = 1 GB, 200 Punkte = 2.5 GB, 350 Punkte = 5 GB
Der Effekt auf die Ratio hängt stark von der Grösse des Downloads ab, da Rato gleich Upload geteilt durch / Download ist. Zum Beispiel bei 10 GB Download erhöht  ein Kredit von 1 GB die Ratio um 0.100, bei 100 GB Download nur um 0.010.

Grüsse
Uwe

J'ai regardé votre Profile est il y a 3 torrents avec leecher, donc le avant dernier complété…
Si vous continuez à partager ces torrents, ça suffira à corriger votre ratio.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide à remettre en partage (seed / upload) des anciennes torrents, demandez d'aide par PM.

You are currently not seeding it for our tracker…

Select the torrent in Vuze's "My Libary", right mouse button click on it and select "Show details" and than look at the tracker URL (in blue). Does it look like:

http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/here a long series of letters and numbers/announce
(Do NOT tell us the long series, it is your secrete private passkey)

Tell us the tracker status shown lower in the details window, too.

If not, you have not re-downloaded the torrent from GayTorrent.ru and opened it in Vuze, but are using the torrent you did original upload.

As well, Seeding, but not uploading any data and having no leecher is "normal" until the torrent gets approved. Keep seeding it nevertheless, else it will not be approved.

Hello EdibleAzn,

You are not seeding your torrent (at least from the trackers view). Usual reasons are mistakes in step 8. of the guide.

a) Once you have upload successfully the torrent to GayTorrent.ru, you must re-download the torrent from the torrent description page which will open. Use the "Download" button. It will have a modified tracker URL including your private secrete passkey (never expose that, even moderators don't know it).
If you have missed that step, go to your Profile by clicking on your name in top left "Welcome back, [you]" and from there to the torrent description to download the torrent.

b) Once you open the torrent in Vuze / Azureus, indicate as download location your file location. If that doesn't work, put the data files or folder into the Download folder of Vuze before you open the torrent. Then it should find the file and see that you've got a complete copy and start seeding.

Hoping this helps.

Best regards
Uwe

Bonjour,

Votre compte ne vais pas être effacer. Nous effacerons que des comptes si jamais utilisé après 60 jours et si utilisé (e.g. le votre) après 180 jours d'inactivité.

Est ce que vous pouvez m'envoyer la message par Message Privé SVP. Il doit être un erreur quelque part.

Votre temps de seed est bien pris en compte, le nombre des points bonus collectés depuis vous avez joint GayTorrent.ru y sont le preuve (0.5 point par heure d'activité) et le tracker prends bien en compte les nombreux torrents actifs. Soit regardez dans votre Profils ou soit en haut derrière "Welcome back, homme2607" les chiffres derrière les flèches vers le haut et bas.

Le chiffre grand en vert dans votre Profile indique combien des torrents sont admis d'être actifs quand vous envoyer (uploader / poster) un nouveau torrent. Si vous excéder ce nombre, le nouveau torrent ne peut pas être approuvé.

Bien cordialement
Uwe

That will be hard, because most ISP are using copper based ADSL technology, which in the very best case allows 1 M bit /s (128 KBytes/s) up and 24 M bit / s down speed and that depends on the quality of the line and distance between the not and your home. For example at my home, with 1.2 km distance to the not such offer was giving real 800 kb/s up and 7.2 Mb/s down….

You can read about VDSL there : hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDSL

Seen the low distance needed to get high bitrates, it is for dense cities only.

Now fibre optics to home seem to become the trend, but their deployment will cost a lot of money, thus time.

In µTorrent it is > "Options" > "Preferences" > "Queueing" > "Seed While Ratio is : <= xx %". Replace the xx by a value you like, preferable 100% or above and activate "Seeding tasks have higher priority than downloading tasks"

Similar to Vuze (Azureus), the default value is only too low 50% (= 0.500 ratio)

Bonjour,

vous pouvez éventuellement trouver un movie non disponible ailleurs (e.g. vos DVD, rapidshare, blog, …) et le partager ici.

Bien cordialement
Uwe

Der Torrent lädt sich korrekt runter und dein Konto ist normal mit allen Rechten;

Versuch mal folgendes:
Torrent stoppen. Die anderen auch, dann µTorrent beenden.
Den PC ausschalten (nicht nur in den Ruhezustand schicken) und wieder einschalten.
µTorrent starten, den Torrent und die Dateien entfernen.
Torrent nocheinmal von GayTorrent.ru herunterladen und starten.

Grüsse
Uwe

Welches File (Datei) bitte und welcher Torrent?

Versuchst Du zu Seeden (Hochladen) oder zu Leechen (Saugen?)
