using limewire

Post by Larz Tallica »

I use Limewire to DL videos that are posted here, it seems like there are just queued and never download, am I doing something wrong? I have converted some of my own personal videos to mp4 format and wouldnt mind uploading them i just not sure how to do this, is Limewire the best place or is there somewhere else I could do it

@Chris: he's a regular member. He was promoted to the Members group since he's in good standing member from Metfuk.

@Larz Tallica: You are not able to download because your ratio is below the required minimum of 0.50. Yours is currently at 0.200. You need to seed something to increase your ratio or donate to help pad your ratio. Also, make sure that DHT is disabled in your client, by having it enabled you're not reporting the true amount you've uploaded.

Im not sure what DHT is, I currently have Rock Am Ring from 2004,2006 and Seoul from 2006. They are in MP4 format. How can I seed these. I am new to this format, I have used Megaupload in the past. Any help would be appreciated

looks like the guys have everything related to torrents covered.

may i also suggest you stay well clear of limewire. its full of trojans, viruses and everything in between. remember what is states your downloading is not always what your getting using that program and the only way you can get something complete there is if the person your getting it from stays connected. if your at 99% and he/she vanishes then you will have to wait for them to return to be able to complete it, if they ever return that is.

torrents are the way to go and im sure if you need any further help we are more than happy to lead you in the right direction :)

Hi you have to make sure you overwrite the file (you need the prompt to ask you otherwise it will not work) and you have the correct path chosen in Utorrent, you created the all the torrents fine (but you are not shown as a seeder) you also need to download each of them (from the trackers page under your details) save it to your desktop and overwrite the first one you created.

if you need 1 on 1 help send me a MSN request to cjlcooter@hotmail.com and i can guide you through it if you like.

edited.. every step needs to be exact or it will not work
