no credit for seeding????

[ANIMALOSI]

HI...I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY RATIO DOSENT GO UP EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN SEEDING MUCHO GIGS???

[U2Lynne]

Currently you are not seeding at all on this site, so I can't tell you what is up. But, in order for your ratio to go up, you need to seed as much as your download. Right now you have downloaded over 66 GBs and you need to stop downloading and only upload if you want your ratio to go up.

[ANIMALOSI]

thats weird because im not firewalled and people are uploading stuff from me but my ratio stays still..??

[U2Lynne]

And which shows do you think you are torrenting? This is a screen cap I just took from your profile page. It shows you are not currently on any, non-pulled, TTD torrent:

[ANIMALOSI]

Hey U2LYNN,
thanx...yeah i see now..i just pulled a torrent i was seeding for weeks....ill have to reseed it...thank you..im pretty new to this and just want to make sure im a respectable contributing member of THE TRADERS DEN!:cool:

Did you disable DHT? I've noticed that TTD does not block dht-enabled torrents, so, could be people are grabbing from you by way of DHT which would mean your upload isn't being counted by the tracker.

[ANIMALOSI]

HEY ROSC2112...
WHERE DO I GO TO DISABLE DHT???

[U2Lynne]

Good call, rosc, I sometimes forget who I have mentioned that to and who I haven't.

Animalosi, let us know what bittorrent client you are using and we can help you with disabling DHT.

[ANIMALOSI]

I HAVE AZUREUS...BUT I FOUND INFO ONLINE AND DISABLED DHT.
I DONT SEE ANY CHANGE..IM DOWNLOADING A KEITH MOON VIDEO AND I DONT SEE ANY RATIO CHANGE...I DONT EVEN SEE IT ON MY PROFILE PAGE...IS THIS NORMAL??

[direwolf-pgh]

yes. the tracker updates stats in intervals - wait and see.

[ANIMALOSI]

OK...THANX

Caps Lock - off.

When I create a .torrent file in Azureus, should I disable the box "allow torrent to seed while tracker is unavailable" (or something like that).

Is that good form or what?

[ANIMALOSI]

GOOD FORM SIR!!!

[rosc2112]

In Azureus, if you right-click on a running torrent, you have the option to 'show details' .... Under the Peers tab (after opening the details) you have a column called "source" -- If you have leechers coming in from anywhere but "tracker" you're feeding people but not getting that upload counted by the tracker.

Also, when you right-click on a running torrent, there's an "advanced" menu item, which has a "peer sources" menu item, where you can de-select all of the other options except "tracker"

[ANIMALOSI]

Thank You

[ANIMALOSI]

Thank You!

Did you recently switch bittorrent clients or something? Obviously, from your stats, you used to be successfully downloading and uploading. But now, for some reason, you are suddenly not showing up on your profile list? What color is the light in Azureus on the torrents you think you are uploading on? Do you leave Azureus seeding/uploading all the time or do you turn it off sometimes? And when you turn it off, do you shut down the program or just hit the Stop button for the torrents?
