Just a note: there is no value in deleting the DATA when you remove a torrent to re-download it.
Good point--I think I was on autopilot when I typed this. Deleting torrent + data is my default when cleaning out my torrent data folder after I've archived any downloads to another location. In the case of a "stillborn" torrent, there wouldn't have been any data so nothing was lost.
On a related note, a couple of days ago I had another one of these "won't start" torrents. I was reluctant to delete it and start over as I had carefully selected about 10% of the many files for downloading, and I didn't want to do that over again. I let things be, and after two days or so the torrent started up and I got the stuff I wanted. That's a longer delay than usual, but patience paid off.
(Who was it that said, "Lord, give me patience, and give it to me NOW?")
I heard something from a staffer once:
MOST of our torrents come from a small handful of "mass uploaders" (
bless them!)
MOST of them are, at any given point in time, seeding hundreds, if not thousands of torrents
MOST of them have limited (less than 10G) upload speeds and can "feed" about 10-20 connections at a time.
SO, with that in mind, when there are only a few seeders, sometimes you have to "wait your turn" to connect to them because they're busy seeding other torrents to other users...
IMHO, it helps to keep in mind that ALL of us volunteer our resources to share all this awesome porn (even the fat, hairy, tattooed guys I'm totally not into! LOL)!!!
