I've been seeding a freeleech torrent that my client is telling me has seeded 65GBs. My ratio is not updating. The site is claiming I have only seeded 6GB.
Can this be fixed? I can obviously send screenshots to verify.
Now I'm wondering how often anything I share is going through. 
@anythingold I hate to be harsh but if you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't be on invite only trackers. If you don't know what you are doing and willing to learn, that is a different story.
I don't know if any public trackers have porn. I would suspect most do not. If the goal is to just get off and walk away from the computer, your needs will be just as easily taken care of by free streaming sites.
Ratio here is very easy. There are enough freeleech uploads everyday for you to snatch. A motivated person can get a good 20 to 30 GB upload credit in a matter of a few days without a seedbox.
While this is specifically to the user uploading a ton of Helix content in the Twink category, I would like to put forward a general complaint about individual scene content being uploaded by a single user.
Torrents do NOT have to be downloaded in full. While it is recommended for seeding purposes, I personally feel as though content should be organized and easy to grab. If you have (lets just say) 12 scenes from one model, it only makes sense to upload a model pack with all 12 scenes, rather than clogging up the category page. Listing the individual scenes in the torrent description, or even just having the files named properly, will be enough for search purposes on individual scenes.
Am I the only one frustrated by the lack of organized content?

I absolutely agree
! But, the unfortunate part is, when you know someone, it is easy nowadays to get invites to practically every site. Which is a whole other Oprah Winfrey topic.
When it comes to gay content that is true. Getting into one of the gay sites and being in there for a month or two will easily get you the other invites. I'd argue that the ease of getting invites to these sites then makes stats here useless as proofs for non gay trackers.
I can have my stats and get into the trackers I want if they weren't here... We have almost created our own little world. It is nice since everyone is a lot friendlier, but it sucks for the few of us that are looking to get into one or two high end trackers.

My BA collection is massive because I grab it all. I can sort through the movies by name and quality, getting rid of the garbage. It's much harder to do that with clips from those same movies since people don't use the same naming system when uploading.
I'm a freak. I know... I have 850 GB of porn data. I got to a point with porn as I did with other media - I became a hoarder out of fear that a lot of the content I liked would somehow disappear. To be honest, I wasn't wrong in regards to studios either. I have so much stuff from 10 (or so) years ago that isn't on the trackers anymore. My problem then became organization. Not everything was full movies. Not everything was of a specific quality or professional standing (Fans Only and such). So, I started organizing by model, trying to keep up with as many from my list as possible.
This is the reason I personally don't like full movies. If I am collecting a model rather than a studio, I would rather just have the scenes I want. These days it has to be one or the other. I can remember back in the day on the original GT, studio releases were mostly uploaded as file folders of the full movie. I can live with that. It is a good compromise and still great for tracker organization. The only problem becomes a lot of people partially downloading/seeding. That's why I suggested the organized groupings and pack tags (of sort).
Your debate may be labeling. I feel your pain for different reasons. I dislike when people don't include models in the file name.
As for category searching, it isn't as accurate and organized as it should be. Something is only categorized if people feel the need to do so. I've found many Twink model packs with only a Bareback category listing. This all also makes it impossible to say find good Asian model packs, as even if they do exist, they aren't labeled properly.
@AnythingOld Your point is also a concern. People will upload duplicates for the sake of ratio. Ratio is not that difficult on here. And if you are having a problem, just snatch a few freeleeches and you will be fine.
At the very least, it makes browsing through categories very time consuming. If I'm scanning and keep seeing large torrents with only one scene, and every other consecutive upload being a scene with one common model, I don't see why they didn't just create a pack.
I'm unsure how many of you are on the music trackers (RED and Orpheus), but they have uploaded torrents accompanied by individual torrents under each album for quality type (MP3, FLAC, etc). This way when an album is uploaded, people posting different formats don't get unorganized. I'd love for something similar here. If an uploader has all the official screencaps, they know what film it came from.
You can do something like :
Helix Studios - Hot Boy Summer
- Scene 1 : Bob and John
- Scene 2 : Jay and Mark
etc...
This way people can have access to individual scenes without it clogging up the category pages. It would also eliminate most duplicate torrents through easier searches.
As for packs, I get a bit frustrated when (say) a Twink pack isn't included in the Twink category but is included in the Bareback category. It not only makes it more difficult to find relevant packs, but shouldn't categories like Bareback or Fetish be subcategories to categories like Twinks or Hunks? And what exactly is the difference between Hunks and Jocks? If Jocks are smaller than Hunks, aren't they kind of grouped in as Twinks? What exactly is Youngblood compared to Twinks? And while I don't download much Amateur content, is Amateur really any different than Homemade?
My proposition for packs would be similar to what those other two organized trackers have - torrent grouping. Give people the ability to go through individual posted scenes and group models. It would completely eliminate the packs by giving individual users the ability to create their own packs. The benefits to this organization include easier downloading, spreading the love in regards to seeders, and making packs updatable without having to worry about multiple pack torrents (most which include duplicate scenes within).
I know... far out there. I'm almost suggesting to redo the entire tracker (lol). I'm just thinking out loud with some ideals.
While this is specifically to the user uploading a ton of Helix content in the Twink category, I would like to put forward a general complaint about individual scene content being uploaded by a single user.

I've been torrenting since I'd say… 2004 (?). I think I have been a member of this site for 4 or 5 years, two other gay torrent sites for 14 years.
What questions do you have?
Thanks!
This was exactly what I was looking for.
I'm looking to collect in one place content that has already been posted.
The best thing I have found so far is favorite lists on Xvideos. I still have to click individual links, and it is only for that one site.
