Pulling My Own Torrent

Post by deadone »

hi all, im currently in the process of trying to seed a torrent, it seems only 1 person is connected, and thats limited, my pc has been on constant since i uploaded it and they are only connected from time to time. i uploaded it on the 2nd and have only uploaded to them just under 3 gig, it seems if they are only going to connect when it suits them this is gonna take me months to finish.
i have other shows planned.

what should i do as i dont wanna just stop it and start a new one but this is taking the pi**

i also agree my uploads speeds are not the greatest but if he/she stayed connected for the whole duration if would prob be finished by now..


suggestions please

Hey Mick looks like you have one leecher GeorgeB he has downloaded 0% but you have uploaded so far 2.71 gig out of the 11.24 gig file your speed is about 1.0 kb a second upload that is pretty slow (dialup speed) but there must be another problem if someone can't stay on long enough to get that big of a download they should not be downloading it.

i would delete it since no one has anything done just my opinion.

also what Torrent Client are you using? if it is utorrent is there a green checkmark in the bottom middle for connections or is it red? if it is red then people cannot connect to you allowing you for crap upload speeds then you will need to open some ports up so more peers can connect to you when it is green you can have alot more connections

Hey Mick. While I agree that the person who wanted this show should continuously be downloading, it does get a tad frustrating when a torrent takes a week or more to finish.

I would either PM the person who wanted this show and see if they are still interested in it or can you up something else. You know I wanted a show from you, but I am in the same boat as you, wanting to up my ratio too.

Right now it is slowly climbing with the NY show (THANKS to EVERYONE) still grabbing it, but see what the person says first before pulling it.

Just a quick LOL as well. I have not downloaded anything from Demonoid since the Seattle show. I upped AC/DC there and my ratio has dropped instead of gone up. Seriously considering pulling all my torrents from there as their tracker is an absolute joke.
