Re: Help with btjunkie setup
Now-a-days, tpb don't their own tracker & btjunkie is nothing but torrent indexing site. So, they don't have their own tracker wither. So, your torrents depends upon dht & pex.
That might create initial seeding problem. :unsure:
Re: Help with btjunkie setup
@WentloogWhix: I've uploaded a couple of torrents on TPB in the last few weeks.
The information in TPB is slow to update.
Also, when seeding, make sure to check "Initial Seeding".
To do this, right-click on torrent, check "Initial Seeding" under "Other Settings".

However, TPB torrents often have other public trackers' URLs on them, and BTJunkie can easily "scrape" that information.
As for the main question, I don't know, since I never uploaded any torrents there. I wouldn't worry too much about it, anyway...

Do disable that when you no longer are the only seeder.
Re: Help with btjunkie setup
Thanks for the advice and reassurance.
If a file is, say, 100MB in size and 102MB is already uploaded, I guess it is still too early to uncheck the "Initial seeding" option?
Are there any guidelines and what would happen if I unchecked it too early or left it on indefinitely?
Just a curious newbie ;-)

It's when you're the only seeder that super-seeding should be enabled. After uploading a full copy, it should be turned off. If there's another seeder in the torrent, you can uncheck it now.

Efficiency would be lost. Super-seeding alters aspects of BitTorrent's piece-picking algorithm which make it much more efficient when you're a single seeder, but counterproductive when that's not the case.

Super-seed mode is 'NOT recommended for general use. While it does assist in the wider distribution of rare data, because it limits the selection of pieces a client can downlad, it also limits the ability of those clients to download data for pieces they have already partially retrieved. Therefore, super-seed mode is only recommended for initial seeding servers.
