If you are behind a firewall, then this will limit the number of peers you are able to connect to.
Although you can make outgoing connections to peers, they cannot make any connections to you. Forward the ports your client is using and you noticed you'll get more connections. You are saturating your bandwith. Although uploading is a good thing, if you are maxing out your upload stream, you will saturate your bandwith, thus lowering your download speed, as well as slowing down any other internet action s. This will prompt the sender to send another packet.
If you are at max on uploads, it may take a while for your reply to get to it's destination, which prevents you from getting the next packet. IE: If you have a maximum upload rate of 40 kilobytes per second, limit that to 32 kilobytes per second. The 8 kilobytes is enough buffer for replies and even browsing the web. You're not uploading enough. Remember, bittorrent is a sharing protocol. If you're being stingy with the uploads, other clients won't transfer to you.
Many clients even tell you that your download rate is proportional to your upload rate. This does seem to be the case in small to medium swarms, but sometimes doesn't apply to large swarms. In any case, be sure to upload as much as you can. Back to top Which port should I use? Some ISP's throttle the connection on the known default Bit Torrent ports - so changing the listening port of your client will help avoid the affects of this traffic restriction, some care should be taken when selecting a port see Here for known port nasties.
Back to top What is this " Go to demonoid" error I keep getting? It means the torrent is not being tracked by Demonoid anymore, because it was deleted by its owner of by a site moderator. Please try using the torrent search to find a similar torrent. Back to top What is this "Torrent Rating System" and how does it work? The torrent rating goes from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst rating, and 10 the best. Please remember this is a rating system on the quality of the torrent content, not how much you liked it or disliked it.
Making a torrent is not as difficult one would think. All that the torrent making software does is hash the files of content which makes the torrent identifiable , add the announce URL so those who download it can connect to the tracker and add the various file information such as file names, size, etc.
Back to top Torrent creation tutorial uTorrent Are there any guidelines I must follow when uploading a torrent? Yes, there are guidelines. Displayed before you upload torrents, are the list of rules you must abide by. Back to top These rules are: Include this info file inside the torrent This is a simple text file that says this torrent is tracked by demonoid.
If you fail to add this to your torrent, then the site will reject it. No adult material allowed Demonoid has a strict policy against pornographic material. Any content depicting a sexual act will be deleted. There are countless sources to distribute this type of material and Demonoid is not one of them. Get rich quick schemes, money pyramids, free stuff and the likes do not benefit anyone.
Torrents such as these will be deleted on sight. No hate inducing material of any kind. No passworded archives. Passworded archives. Forcing people to go to other site to acquire a password is a nuisance on the community.

No duplicate material Please search before uploading to check if the material is already on the site No trojans or virus infected archives No infected torrents are allowed.
Torrents infected with trojans, virii, adware, spyware, malware, etc. No hacking tools reading material related to this subject is ok Try to make sure your torrents are well-seeded for at least 24 hours or until there are some seeds to replace you. Why is a torrent I uploaded not listed?
The site updates the torrent listing every few minutes. If more than ten minutes passes since you uploaded it, and it's still not there, try uploading it again. Also, you need to seed the torrent in order for it to apper on the list. A non-seeded torrent is immediately labled as a "dead" or inactive torrent.
You may search for your torrent applying the filter [dead torrents] or [dead and active torrents]. Once you begin seeding your torrent, it will automatically be made visible by the site. Back to top I uploaded a torrent, why does it appear to have been deleted? Are you sure your torrent was in sync with the rules? The torrent Moderators are constantly browsing the site, looking for torrents that break the rules.
Even if your torrent barely stays within the scope of the rules, if it receives too many complaints, it will be deleted. Back to top What is this " Torrent not in pool yet" error I keep getting? This means the tracker has not had the time to read the database yet. The tracker reads the database every 3 minutes or so, and then adds the new torrents to it's torrent pool.
You need to wait for the torrent to be on the pool to be able to seed it. If you get this error, stop the transfer, wait 3 minutes usually it takes less, but make it 3 to be sure , and then restart it.
Back to top Am I allowed to upload my torrent tracked by Demonoid to other sites? Yes you are. It's your torrent, as long as the torrent is in sync with the site rules, you may do with it whatever you want. It may actually be wise to add your torrent to other sites. This will undoubtedly increase your traffic. More traffic means a faster distribution of the torrent.
Back to top What is "normal seeding mode" and what is "super-seeding mode"? Seeding mode is the regular way a client seeds. A peer who requests a piece from you will get that piece. Super-seeding mode is slightly different. In super-seed mode, you will transfer a single piece only once. This means you will not transfer any piece more than once. However, please remember that super-seed mode is only useful for the initial distribution.
Afterwards, seeding will be quicker on normal mode. Back to top Stats What is this "ratio"? The upload to download ratio is just that: a ratio. BitTorrent is a sharing protocol. So obviously, sharing is expected. The ratio system was introduced to allow you to monitor your transfer amount. A ratio of 1. This means you have upload more than you have downloaded. This mentality is vital to the sharing community. Although sometimes it is difficult to seed what you have downloaded, please just try to make an effort.
Back to top How is the ratio calculated? Every member starts off with 0 kilobytes downloaded and 0 kilobytes uploaded, giving them a ratio of 1. Obviously, the latter is the preferrable ratio. Please pay attention to your ratio and seed accordingly. Only data transfered via the Demonoid tracker will count toward your ratio.
Back to top My ratio is getting too low, am I going to be banned? The ratio system is purely statistical and somewhat innacurate for the ones with shared or dynamic ips. Besides what other users may think of you for not sharing, there is no punishment for having a low ratio. Back to top Why isn't my ratio being reported properly? There are a few reasons your ratio isn't updating properly. Similarly, a faulty, experimental, or beta testing a client, may also cause your stats to be misreported.
If your client supports DHT and it is enabled any data transfered via these means will not count toward your ratio. Back to top What are the best practices for ensuring my ratio is updated correctly? There are a few things you may try to ensure a proper ratio update. Back to top Why doesn't Demonoid use a "live tracker"? Demonoid tracks too many peers, and live-tracking would put too much of a strain on our server.
Back to top Torrents What am I not allowed to say in a comment? This rule is strictly enforced. Any member violating this rule will be banned, no questions asked. Flaming is NOT tolerated. If violated in excess, you will be warned and if you persist, you will be banned. Although profanity is not against site rules, please use in moderation. We have many members, many of which are underage. So please keep this in mind when posting. Torrent comments are for discussions on the torrent.
Copyright groups have had recent successes against tracker sites and catalogs, no less than a few days ago TorrentBox was also taken down. But at the same time, the recent MediaDefender leaks showed that their effort to plant fakes in popular torrent sites had no impact on the most popular torrent sites including Demonoid — a credit to the communities at these sites who would flag fakes.
Takedown efforts seem to be in vain, as even the once much-loved Suprnova has recently made a come-back. The most that a takedown can accomplish is the intermediate interruption of service to that particular community, but as most BitTorrent users access and use more than one site, and the release groups continue unimpeded , the end results of these efforts from copyright groups are very under-whelming.
