That means when you're uploading to another site it will count on whatcd as well, and vice-versa. Hopefully you don't get banned on waffles as well assuming it was the other site you upped the appz to. I don't know of any private tracker that allows using the same torrent (file) on multiple sites.
Make a new torrent for a new site is the proper way to upload, hope you learn from your mistake.
I've done it for so long now without knowing it could cause anything. Never been banned or warned for it before. I have 5-6 trackers and if I download something from say tracker X. I download the same file from tracker Y.. Now some sites makes it's own "torrent", and some site asks "This file already exists, would you like to load trackers from it" or something similiar. I always chose yes, believing that it was the clients way of making everything clean in the UI, not that if I download from tracker A, then B "gets the same info".
And this was what I wanted to find out, WHAT was it that made me banned. And now that I found out I am happy, I don't feel like being banned from another tracker. As I mentioned earlier, I pay for a seedbox giga from seedbox.fr and a seedbox 100/100 from a swedish guy. I would not pay for two seedboxes + my own internet if I were a cheater. I can't prove anything and I am not here to prove anything, as someone said, the logs on what.cd says more then I can. However, i still say it: I did not cheat.
I am writing here also explaining the rest because maybe someone else with similiar case reads this and can hopefully prevent being banned.
And please, once again, not everyone heard about this site, and just cause my first post was this thread don't mean I make a duplicate account, admins are more then welcome to check.
Maybe you have trolls here, or people without not brave enough to say with their real name. But if you are not brave enough, on the internet, you should stay home in the kindergarden.
Just because you find 99 apples that were bad, don't mean the 100th would be, give people a benefit of a doubt because trust me, not everyone has bad intentions. Some people makes errors without really knowing them, like in my case. And directly, without knowing me or the background story you judge me.
That's wrong.
Ok, once again, thanks for everything and for clarifying verything for me.
Though it still seems a hugh mistake,your attitude is sincere and quite..hope next time you'll never make the same mistake :) Gool luckQuote:

no pain, no gain. we remember from our mistakes. good luck tho :dabs:
Now that made sense,but why didn't you say it earlier?Quote:

Maybe this is not the right forum then I will ask in the proper place.
Ps: Is someone else getting "page can not be found" when replying/quoting etc? I get 3 x http:/filesharing.com/vb3/

To be quite honest it seems to me, that you skip reading rules of sites and that's the main reason why you are banned. Not knowing that seeding the same file on multiple trackers could be forgiven I guess (although you would find that out by reading the FAQ), but that coupled withuploading torrents where almost 75% do not comply with the rules, also means you didn't read the uploading rules, or at least didn't read and understand them.Quote:

This is why it's a good idea to read the rules of every tracker. I suppose most people think of the rules as something which is there on every torrent site and they don't need to read it. Something like the License Agreement present in all software applications. I am pretty sure a very small portion of us read the EULA before clicking I Accept. But rules of trackers are a different case. You need to have thorough knowledge of the rules, especially on a tracker like what.cd where user uploads are permitted.
The rules.php of what.cd explicity mentions this in the Golden rules:

Maybe if people read rules and made sure what was expected of them on trackers they would not do this.
To me not knowing is no excuse when if rules and faq are read it would not be a problem as would know it is not allowed :)
Just my 2 cents worth
Okay, I used utorrent for only an extremely brief period of time, so don't remember all the options it has.

Haven't made that mistake before but I couldn't agree more.:angry:Quote:

If in doubt, read some of the massive stupidities that other posters write about when they make their "help me I've been banned from X" threads. I give the OP credit for being honest about how they messed up, and I'm sure they learned something from it.
my two cents to add to the tin.....

Actually, you are ignorant philau. It would be double uploading, if he had waffles.fm and what.cd in the same tracker list of the same torrent. He could be uploading data to peers on waffles, yet it would also show uploaded data on what...so, shut up, philau..Your harshness pissed me off.. :frusty:
Double seeding is cheating regardless of what you think, and even if you do not know that it is against the rule.Quote:

duh.. close this thread.
The question has been answered by Whatman..
no need to drag it on..
The OP is NOT getting his account back.. Period!
Let me just say again that I highly doubt that the OP didn't understand at first that what he was doing was cheating. I mean, it's just common sense... Even if utorrent has this supposedly confusing "Add Tracker" option (and I don't remember this option because I don't remember anything about utorrent), I highly doubt that it would ever confuse the OP.
Well this thread is better than most. Maybe it will teach some passers by that they might benefit from reading the rules/FAQ on sites, so they don't end up in the same boat as the OP
Much more productive than half the threads here... or maybe closer to 95%
You would be surprised at how many peeps lack the slightest bit of common-sense.Quote:

I'm still not re-enabling the account, the OP's story doesn't agree with the data, and even if it did, he would still have broken the rules. He is marked as downloading 68.64MB, but the only torrent files he's downloaded are his own, and freeleech torrents. Where did those 68.64MB come from if he was just seeding? Looks like he was ghost leeching from himself to me.
even though 68 mb is nothing, itīs cheating so gtfo
WhatMan, thanks yet again for your answer.Quote:

About the download. And I have downloaded one music file. Let me check what it was called one second please
"Muse-The_Resistance-PROPER-2009-BiGW" If am not mistaking.
Anyways, as I said, I don't want my account back so that's not why I wrote here. All I wanted was to know the reason to WHY.
About the adding multi tracker options. Almost all the big trackers allow this. Some when you add a torrent it just asks you were you wanna save it. And some adds tracker.
I am glad I learned my lesson now. And maybe others could learn from me.
If a admin/mod don't mind, my question was answered so thread can be locked.
For those of you that says I am a cheater and I knew what I was doing. Okey, that's your opinion and you are entiteled to it. But open your eyes. In this world, there are things called mistakes. Not everyone know everything. This has been proven worldwide everyday.
And for those other of you. Thank you.
And for whatman, thanks for taking your time.
and for the record. I'm a she, not a he.
Thanks fst.
If i were leeching from my self then it would still count as as download. So my ratio would not change since its going to be same x/y ratio. And why only 68mb?Quote:
