Warned but can't seed

[ramonsterns]

So I just got warned and I have a torrent I can seed but won't let me, what gives?

[Dudz]

Probably because you are trying to seed a torrent with few/no leachers and many seeders.

So what am I supposed to do?

How am I supposed to seed old shows if no one is leeching in the first place?

This is such a pain.

EDIT

so I have to download some other show with lots of leechers so I can seed them back.

How am I supposed to pull that off?

EDIT 2

Oh fuck it, I'll just stream, not worth the hoop jumping.

Should have thought of that before you made a mess of your ratio. The wiki entry paul_vash provided has some methods to help you fix it.

You can

A. Download FREELEECH torrents which have a lot of leechers
B. Download from a different site and seed here.
C (if you can deal with the guilt). Download publicly and seed it back on your tracker account.

Guess I'll do this.

Friend explained to me how to download publicly, so now I'll seed a couple of things I was planning to watch anyways until the warning goes away, then I'll download and upload normally.

Thanks by the way, you kind of saved the website from an extra public downloader.

Well, no, he actually added a public downloader, since that's what you're doing now, and you previously said you were going back to streaming.  That's fine, though, because we like public downloaders, which is why we're a public tracker in the first place.

FWIW, most ratio problems can be solved with patience.  You'd be surprised at how often some rather rare torrents get downloaded.

Hey, let me share my feelings on the matter.

If you can get stuff in as good quality as here, go right ahead.  Guess you have a high bandwith to stream so easily any time you want.

A. Download FREELEECH torrents which have a lot of leechers

Actually when you've been warned you can't download anything. Freeleech included.

[kensvs]

B. Download from a different site and seed here.

Ain't the wiki just amazing?

Re-seeding Downloaded Files with Different Clients
Azureus

If you have downloaded something but removed it from Azureus and wish to seed it again, follow these steps:

Please Note: You must re-download the .torrent file.

   1. Go to Azureus > File > Open > Torrent File...
   2. Select the .torrent file for the data from its location on your hard drive
   3. Select the location where the file you want to seed is stored
   4. Wait for Azureus to finish checking the file. When it does, the file will move automatically from the download window into the seeding window

If the torrent does not move into the seeding window on its own: Right-click on newly created entry in the download window of the My Torrents view. Select Force Re-check. The value in the 'Done' column will count from 0% to 100%. Upon reaching 100%, the file will be moved to the seeding list on the bottom of the My Torrents tab.

If you do not have the original .torrent file but the original data, try this:

   1. Download the file again
   2. Azureus will check it out
   3. Azureus will move it to the seeding list (the process is very quick)

(taken from Azureus wiki)
uTorrent 1.6.0 -1.8.3

   1. Go to the torrent page and download the .torrent file again (make sure you're logged in before downloading, if not the tracker URL will be incorrect).
   2. Open the .torrent file in uTorrent, but do not start it yet (uncheck the "Start Torrent" checkbox). [Image:Add Torrent dialog window in uTorrent (with "Start Torrent" unchecked).]
   3. Click on the ". . ." button at the end of the directory name display, and browse to the folder where the files are.
   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, uTorrent allows you to relocate them, so as to avoid renaming. [Image:Relocate files in uTorrent.]
   5. Click "Ok" in the Add Torrent dialog box. The torrent should now appear in your torrent window in stopped state.
   6. Right-click on it, and select "Force recheck". uTorrent will now scan the selected folder for matching files, so if the files are the same and still have the same filenames you should see the progress bar start filling up. [Image:Force the torrent to recheck the downloaded files.]
   7. Let it scan until it says "Stopped" under the Status column. Then press "Start" to start the torrent proper.
         1. If the files are 100% verified it should say "Seeding" under the Status column.
         2. If there are missing files, or some of the pieces did not hash properly, uTorrent will download the missing pieces before putting the torrent in Seeding status.
   8. You're done! Now just let the torrent sit and seed.

Official BitTorrent 6

   1. Go to the torrent page and download the .torrent file again (make sure you're logged in before downloading, if not the tracker URL will be incorrect).
   2. Open the .torrent file in BitTorrent, but do not start it yet (uncheck the "Start Torrent" checkbox).
   3. Click on the ". . ." button at the end of the directory name display, and browse to the folder where the files are.
   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.
   5. Click "Ok" in the Add Torrent dialog box. The torrent should now appear in your torrent window in stopped state.
   6. Right-click on it, and select "Force recheck". BitTorrent will now scan the selected folder for matching files, so if the files are the same and still have the same filenames you should see the progress bar start filling up.
   7. Let it scan until it says "Stopped" under the Status column. Then press "Start" to start the torrent proper.
         1. If the files are 100% verified it should say "Seeding" under the Status column.
         2. If there are missing files, or some of the pieces did not hash properly, BitTorrent will download the missing pieces before putting the torrent in Seeding status.
   8. You're done! Now just let the torrent sit and seed.

Transmission 1.7x

For users of Mac OS X and most Linux distributions (possibly other OS's as well):

   1. Navigate to Preferences > Transfers, and make sure "Display 'adding transfer' options window" is checked.
   2. Open the torrent with Transmission. The Add window should pop up, with options for which files to download, destination, etc.
   3. Click "Verify Local Data", and if your anime is still in the folder Transmission downloads to, it should update everything to 100% complete.
   4. After this, simply click Add, and it should immediately start seeding.
