Warning about not uploading
« on: April 29, 2010, 03:13:43 PM »
I just saw a warning about getting a warning on my account. 

I JUST joined here like two days ago.  I AM SEEDING!  I got the download done within four hours and I seeded the file all day yesterday and got an upload of 1GB.  I know my ratio is low (I mean I downloaded a 20GB file) but I have been uploading in my 3 days of being here.

I am uploading today and downloading some more torrents to help me upload.  Even a bonus one. 

I don't know why my upload speed is so slow but I really really am trying here!  I just turn off my computer at night time cause my room gets hot. 

Will I still get a warning even though I'm trying my best to upload??

yes, unless you reach a good enough ratio to prevent you from getting warned.
As time has shown, hope exists only in name. It´s actual meaning is despair.

Oh.

Well I was looking through my collection and found some stuff I downloaded years ago that is up here!  Just renamed a few files and I was able to upload them.  :)

So hopefully that can help!

Because of the high seed/leech ratio.

That would explain why some of my torrents are not seeding!  There are so many seeders and so little leeches!

Generally, they do give you a lot of consideration if you are a new user. Back when I first joined, I downloaded a ton of shows and had like 60 GB downloaded with like 4.5 GB uploaded , but I left them seeding and eventually got a 1.0 ratio. They will warn you about getting a warning, but you get pretty good leeway before you actually get warned if you are new.

New users have a 1 week grace period. You shouldn't receive any warnings during that period.
