Hi all!

I'm new to this torrent U/L bizzo and have only created 3 torrents in the last 3 days.

One thing I have noticed is when I seed my torrents my upload speed is only 50% of my usual upload speed.

When I DL a torrent and seed back, I can reach an UL speed of just over 2MB/s either on a few torrents combined or on a single torrent. With my torrents I have achieved at best 1.3MB/s, but usually only between 700 KB/s and 1MB/s?

At the moment I am only seeding my 3 torrents to give them maximum bandwidth, but my total upload speed according to uTorrent 3.5.5 (build 46514) is only @ 20 KB/s and these downloaders are getting their torrent in a dribble!

I'm unsure why I'm not giving these peers "full tilt" upload speed. Is this a uTorrent issue or the "norm" when seeding your own torrent? Any ideas?

TIA + cheers

I am no expert on uTorrent 3.5.5 , but I just downloaded your latest torrent and it downloaded at 40MBps so that obviously
was not you , there are people that can seed a lot faster and your upload rate dropping to 20KBps might well be that other
people are doing the seeding, which is good. If you generally want to increase your speed I would suggest a seedbox is what you need.

i'm trying to figure out this uploading business (been encoding myself for a year, older tv shows off DVDs mostly) and one big question i hav is why do most torrents include all the torrent info in the name of every file (e.g. every episode of a tv show)? is that required? or is it just best practices? is it for credit or categorization or something else?

i have my own library that i use for a personal plex server and ideally i'd be seeding directly from those folders, and would prefer not to have to change the name of every file to append the torrent info if it's not necessary.

tx in advance

Hi All!
Can anyone tell me the best way to upload screenshots when I upload a torrent? I have been including them in the download but then to view the downloader has to 1st DL the images, check them then re-add the torrent for the video files if wanted. In my last torrent upload here https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/15156123/Blood-UK-Season-S01-S02-Complete-1080p-x265-PGW I clicked the "Upload Image" button above narrative in the "Torrent description" section. This includes small-medium thumbnails but when clicked goes to an external image hosting site called imgbb (ibb.co).

I have seen a lot of torrents which when the cursor is hovered above the thumbnail a plus(+) sign appears and when clicked the image immediately displays on the torrent page.

The latter is much better when searching torrents but I can't workout how to do it?

Any ideas?

TIA...cheers

As it's implemented in the site's code.
Maybe in the future it might be made available for other uploaders.

Is that supposed to be that [TGx] text file has a trailing space in its file name? ([TGx]Downloaded from torrentgalaxy.to .txt, not [TGx]Downloaded from torrentgalaxy.to.txt)

According to the stats in TGx it only has 2 seeds and 96 peers (leechers) whereas uTorrent reports it currently has 77 seeds and 107 peers (was as high as 82 seeds/104 peers last night).

The torrent appears to be working correctly however the peers connected mostly show 0.8% in the peers % column despite DL at up to 1.8 to 2.0 MB/sec, with the 0.8% not increasing when it should? There are several which show 99.8% before disappearing, again with the %age not changing consistently with DL speeds. There are the odd few which appear normal with the % increasing consistently with DL speeds.

One thing I have noticed, not just with this but all my torrents, is quite a few of the trackers are showing "connection timed out" or "request timed out" and one even says "No such host is known" (udp://tracker.cyberia.is:6969/announce)
I am using 9 trackers from the list supplied by TGX as being the best/most reliable, yet only 3 of 9 seems to work.

Any ideas on both issues?

Cheers

Well i Added it to my seed-box and there are lots of peers all at 99% rather that 0.8%
There is only 1 peer showing at 100%........... <SNIP>............Strange my client shows 10 trackers on that torrent and only 1 is not working.

Edit: it's the last 0.01% thats the problem downloading at 2kb/s and all the data is corrupt:

EVILTEEN777, thanks for the reply and info, I'm trying to absorb and resolve this but can't workout what the issue is. I tried changing servers but that doesn't seem to have worked?

Another user has commented on the torrent page say X hours in and not even 1%, I presume he/she's one of the 0.8%ers?

Cheers + thanks again
