Banned from the Tracker!
« on: September 27, 2008, 04:43:37 PM »
Hello fellow Knopflerados.
I didn't know where to post this: torrent list, vine lists, technical help? So I put it here  ;D

Like the title suggests, my account on the Spanish Tracker has been disabled because I can't read. A few months ago I received a warning that my ratio should be raised over 0,5 and as at the time it was 0,05 and managed to raise it to the dizzy heights of 0,10 I thought I was safe! I was wrong!  ;D

Anyway, I am not too bothered about that but should Copenhagen 08, Soenderborg 08 or Paris 25/04/92 appear, would some charitable soul contact me?

Thanks!

PS: I was in the middle of downloading Dire Fakes at the party of the century, at the moment, it seems to still be downloading but if I can't finish the download, I need a charitable soul there too!!

If Pottel's right, and he usualy is, try to pull some torrents back, and activate them.   If there are still leechers, you may be able to build up your ratio.   The safest way to keep your ratio where it should be is to keep seeding after your download is comlete.   Watch the ratio of each download, and let it seed as far past 1. as you can.

Thanks for your replies.

How do I do to "pull some torrents back, and activate them" if I can't log in?

Dear Rollergirl, just like you it seems I can't get more ratio on the Spanish Tracker either. Just after Mark started with his concerts, I tried to download some shows and get ratio, BUT ..........it seems I was every time too late with downloading. Many people were faster then I was, so after downloading a few small shows I stopped and first need to get more ratio. I am afraid to use it, because I don't want to get banned.

I also moved some shows to the MKhub and now at the

I had this concern when first using the tracker.  I found the best way was to seed something new on the tracker.  I know this isn't an option for everyone, but it's a quick win.

Another idea is to download a "freeleech" Spanish concert.  In that way only upload points are counted! ;)

OK, Nathalie, that is good news. I hope you have a good time listening and fun with watching!  ;D

I don't know where I can find the freeleech concerts, but will ask you when I have time to work on it. LOL ;)

Fieneke - Look down the list of concerts and the Spanish ones have "freeleech" next to them.  When my ratio was low I downloaded some Spanish ones, which I also wanted and only the uploaded points were counted, not the download points, so my ratio went up.  Just an idea!  :)

Superval THANK YOU for your advice!  :-* I am downloading now although it has a lot of GB, so it might take a few days, or even a week!  ;D
