    Default seeding somethin you downloaded elsewhere

    Hey all,

    I'm new here and trying to get my ratio up on a tracker. I think this is allowed,but correct me if I am wrong.

    I have files I downloaded from a semi public tracker. They are exactly identical to what I see on a private tracker. So I downloaded the torrent file from the private tracker. then, I loaded the torrent file form private tracker in Transmission. It verified the file and seems to be happy. So then I resumed the file so it would start uploading. The peer list changes from like 0/2 peer to 0/8 to 0/4 then back down to 0/0 within the first minute. Then it stays at 0/0 and nothing is ever uploaded.



    Is this the way to do what I want? I think its called cross seeding. I am not interested in being the first seed on the private tracker. I just want to add to the seeders, since this file has a bunch of leechers and I have the file already.

    yes, that's how you cross seed, some tracker doesn't allow it, so that might be the reason your peer list go back to 0/0

    Yes some trackers forbid cross seeding but many trackers don't care the problem is that you can't have in the same torrent file two announce urls for private trackers. It have to be two torrents if you want to seed to two trackers. About this you should check on tracker status i have no idea how to do in transmission but on utorrent just click on the torrent and check if the tracker is working If this don't work than your tracker don't support your version of transmission. Also don't think that you can get upload on every torrent that have leechers. The problem is that that leechers are probably partition seeders that's means that they have downloaded just a part of torrents and now they are seeding just a part of it. You won't get any upload on torrents like this best is to reseed dead torrents that mean 0 seeders and 1 or more leechers that's where you can get some good upload

    Yes "specialized" have right there. Often you can get very good upload on dead torrents. Also check the "Request" as most of trackers have this. Through Request System you can also get very good uploads.

    Another Tip:

    You don't need to download full Torrent for cross seeding. We take an example. New Series "Alactraz" We say you don't like it and its not something that you would download to watch for yourself. We use this one:

    Alcatraz S01E05 720p HDTV X264-DIMENSION

    alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.r23 13.173 MB
    alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.rar 47.684 MB
    alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.sfv 1.025 kB
    Sample/alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.sample.mkv

    Now you can go and download from public tracker or from the same tracker that you will seed/leech.
    We use as example public tracker.
    Choose to download only one or if you want couple of RAR files : "alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.r04"
    Now we can go to your private tracker load your torrent in for cross seeding and then check to "NOT DOWNLOAD" rest of the files, leave marked for downloading only this one RAR file "alcatraz.105.720p-dimension.r04"

    Now you can leech the hell out of this file for to get up your ratio

    Partial seeding works great on MOST trackers. I have been on a few that keep track of "unfinished" downloads and won't let you download other torrents until you have finished other torrents that you have started to download. I am glad that only a few sites have done this!

    while some sites will change the file just slightly put a extra mb here or there change a character or two to stop you from cross-seeding of course there are work around this
