    What's the dumbest move you ever made with one of your trackers?



    I'll start it off with a big one. Reworked my home page with my tracker links and I forgot to add one in. Came back from vacation this summer and was really busy so I was not dl/ul much and evry so often I would go in to my trackers to keep them active (along with having seeding going) but this one got missed due to home page error. Tweaking my uTorrent seeds one day and I see that tracker's torrents are invalid - get sinking feeling in stomach and yep - accuont disabled.

    There goes my bitmetv that I had seeded to over 5x ratio with my seedbox - major brain fart on my part...

    I downloaded a 25GB season pack on blu-ray with the intent to resubmit to another tracker. I run a very active RSS feed on my seedbox to auto add torrents from my favorite tracker. I have to prune torrents out every day to stay under my active torrent limit and seedbox storage caps.

    Wasn't paying close enough attention and inadvertently deleted the season pack before I had resbumitted it.

    Not a huge deal but it was a complete waste of 25GBs in credit.

    The biggest rookie mistake I think I've done - I was shortly a member of BlackCatGames. Back then I was very new to the concept of private trackers, I didn't realize the value of being a member of this tracker, and I just stopped logging in :( I regret it a lot now that I know a lot about private trackers.

    I was lucky to have a TL account this past Christmas. With a decent 25/15 Mbps connection, I was confident of building a good ratio by downloading a 30GB torrent, with leechers/seeders ratio of 2:1. That's what I did when I started with the other trackers. After completely downloading the torrent in ~ 3 hours, I got a system PM message that I should keep my ratio to at least 0.6; otherwise, I will be banned permanently. I've noticed that the leechers were not downloading the torrent. At that time, I have no knowledge of "part-seeding." For the following days, I kept my computer on, with fingers crossed, anxiously hoping to increase my ratio before the deadline; and I fortunately did.

    i had an stmusic account a couple years ago and one day went to stmusic.com (wrong address) and saw that the domain was for sale. i didn't think twice about it and just assumed the site went under. And as of last week i realized the site was there all along just that it was .org. I have no idea why i didn't realize this when it happened. i had been using the site for almost a year it was my home page and when my homepage got reset and i didn't find stm on the first try i just gave up. Total Idiot moment lol. Well at least im back on the site now.

    I invited a cheater to Waffles from a PU forum. Fortunately, because of my activity there and other places, I kept all of my privileges and I was able to get the douche banned from a couple of other trackers. It pays to be on the good side of tracker staff.
