can you give me some tips?
« on: February 15, 2013, 12:35:02 PM »
So i really didn't bothered reading the rules of downloading torrents and seeding and I have been warned, in order to get rid of the warning I started seeding the files I downloaded. But there are 2 files which I deleted from my torrent downloader and I don't know how to bring it back there so I could seed them also, can anyone help me?

Also, I know how to seed but I don't know what is leeching and how to do it any help would be appreciated  :)

Not sure on the first part, but leeching is the downloading of the torrent file. The aim of all this is to have more of your files seeding than leeching (not as easy as it sounds running on ADSL... finally got my rating up to 0.8 by seeding all the time only to have it drop right back down because I wanted to download something new to watch :P back to the seeding we go!) so it's not something that you really need to work on being able to do, it just happens. Please correct me if I'm wrong there.

There is this article in the Wiki, if you're unsure about other terminology.

The actual data, or just the torrents? The latter can be re-entered to the client.

If he knew how to add a torrent then, he already knows how to add a torrent now. ::)

Unlike some trackers where you can have a hundred torrents seeding and only a handful where you're uploading, this place tends to be pretty busy. I'm VERY rarely stuck with nothing to be uploading (actually, I quite often turn torrents here off to give the stuff from my other trackers a chance :P), but due to the size of the torrents, that takes time. Make good use of the bookmarks ability and leech torrents bit by bit. If you go grabbing everything on day one, your ratio is gonna suck ass and you'll probably end up banned pretty quickly. You can't watch everything at once, so just go one at a time. Build up your collection of stuff to seed steadily. Starting out is probably the more difficult part, as after that you can build up a buffer and then it's simply a matter of time. A number of torrents are also freeleech, which means you'll get credit for everything you upload, but downloading them won't count against you. Can be handy.
