your torrent client should report back a tracker status message. please post that message, if you don't know how to find it post your clients name and version and i'm sure we can point you to it.

what do u mean its not connecting to anything? do u mean ur not getting any leechers?
All u can really do is keep seeding, and maybe find some freeleech torrents or torrents u already have which are the same as here and seed those.

other then that, its just a waiting game.

Hi, I have a problem, and I want you to help, but I don't feel like telling you anything related to the problem because it probably won't help you help me anyway.

Oh, okay, good luck.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just remove the client and then re-install a client, and not make any adjustments to the new client? Than to try to make us guess what you have?
Timing is everything in comedy!

I can't read past the joke and see the context.
I also can't read the Wiki page that I was told to read when I signed up. Or it was too long ago when I signed up and I forgot everything, but even then I'm not going to read it.
So now I'm going to ask all you people to help me. Because you aren't busy people at all. And it's not like this question has been asked hundreds of times before, right?
By the way, I'm still not going to tell you anything related to the problem. Who really needs to know what client I'm using, if I'm getting any errors, what OS I'm using, my connection speed... it's all useless information, isn't it?
I also meant 0.029 when I said 0.29, since 0.29 would probably deemed an acceptable ratio.

... Take a hint, maybe?

Wow, you're rather dense. They've asked for  info to help and you've not supplied it.

And its bunch, not bundled

You obviously CAN seed since you have a ratio and uploaded stats on the only file on ur tracker (which couldnt possibly be the only file you have available to seed based off of your overall DL stats.). So I think ur just assuming that becuz u are seeding a file that you will also automatically get leechers and a max upload speed. this is not the case.

If this isnt your problem then try actually explaining the issue rather then complain about it.

Dunno if it makes it any more fair, but the guy's from Singapore. At least, according to his tracker profile. So it might be a simple communication problem.

Since you don't seem to care much about helping us help you, all I can really say is... kthxbai.

I'm not 100% sure what is being asked either, but I kinda got into the same boat in a sense. But here's how it is for me (info included the best I can) I got bittorrent 6.4, and I downloaded [A-Kraze]_Ergo_Proxy_hdtv, and then moved the file to another folder, Now to Seed, I need it in my Download folder. So I moved it back, and put the torrent back on my Bittorrent program, And it says there is 178 seeds, and 14 leaches, but the torrent isnt doing anything. Its not checking the progress of the torrent (which should be 100% since I have it all, and watched it all already). If I right click the file in the torrent it says for trackers: http://tracker.bakabt.com:2710/...
Now I am currently seeding another show thats not from BakaBT so I know the seeding does work. Is it that the warning now makes it so you have no access to the torrents at all? The Torrent file thats in my folder is: [BakaBT.129984v0] [A-Kraze]_Ergo_Proxy_hdtv if you need that as well.


EDIT - newy: Don't post your Torrent Pass!

Oh good, someone who can actually talk. My hope in the world just went back up a little bit.

Warning means you can't leech. If you couldn't seed either, that would be pretty stupid, because you'd be warned forever.

However, when you are warned, your activity on incomplete torrents is completely halted, no matter how close you are to 100%. So your one torrent can be one of two things.

1. It moves, you just don't see it move because a leecher only ever connects and leeches from you when you aren't looking.

2. You think it's a complete file, but there's some block that contains bad data and has to be redownloaded. Even if you watched it all, this is still possible, since most players will skip right through bad data and you usually don't even notice it, unless it's corrupted in more than a couple places.

On the torrent that you think is not moving, take a look at the tracker status and see if it's reporting an error message. If it says anything about not being able to download because you are warned, #2 is almost definitely your problem. You may have to dig around to find it.

By the way, that long string after the 2710/, never post that anywhere, or you may get screwed over. You'd better search the Wiki for "torrent pass" because I don't feel like explaining stuff that's already explained.

Sorry, never really looked at the tracker before. I appreciate the edit newy. Ok, so after looking it over I think I know the the problem is. If you removed the torrent from your torrent file, you cannot put it back in to see. What happens is it needs to connect to check the file progress, BUT!! Because I have that warning, it refuses to connect. So in the end, it's the end? For the DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange  it says "not allowed". Then right below that for that tracker I posted it says: "Failure: you are warned, you are not allowed to download, see our wiki for more info at http://wiki.bakabt.me"

Also it was not a incomplete, it was completed. I downloaded the file, and moved its folder into a differant one as not to clutter my DL folder. So I figured since I had the torrent file as well as the folder, I could put it back on bittorrent and have it re-seed, since the other stuff I downloaded, I cant be so sure would seed to well...

ok, so I reset my key since I didnt realize what that was, and I tried some other things that were recommended and it seems all I managed to do was make things worse. probly my doing knowing that I have no real idea what i'm doing lol. But after everything it showed the torrent tracker to be invaild or something, I kinda got irritated and deleted it. So I guess this is the end for my bakaBT use. I appreciate everyones advice, and am extremly greatful for you trying to help. Take care.

Eh, I think the problem was just a lack of doing "Force Recheck".

Ha, seeing his story, that's highly likely. What a way to stop using BBT.

Just in case you feel like trying again, you reset your key so you will have to redownload your torrent files, as they contain the old key and therefore will not work anymore.

And this time, when you reseed, make sure you force recheck. It was part of the tutorial on the Wiki so I assumed you did it...

As for the Wiki Tutorial I have one problem on it.
4.In Windows Explorer, make sure the filenames in the folder match the filenames in the torrent filelist.
1.If some/all of the filenames do not match, BitTorrent allows you to relocate them, so as to avoid renaming.
1.In the files tab right click the file and select relocate.
2.Browse to the original file, select it and click save.
3.Repeat the process for all files that have different names.

Where is there a files tab? I didnt see anything like that anywhere. I also Right clicked on almost anything as well, to see if there was a option to relocate.

EDIT: Found the file tab, its on bit torrent after the you already put the file on to Download. You stop it, and down on the bottem tabs with all the information does it have a file tab you can relocate the file names. But it still doesnt work like it says. Im gonna keep at it for a bit though.
