New uploader - questions

[SamStan]

Hello,

Just uploaded my first torrent to TPB. How long does it take for it to appear on search?
Also, I had to cut a lot of text from the torrent description because it was too lenghty and there was a constant error that wouldn't let it go thru. I'd like to add the rest of the text via comment but apparently there's a character limit. How much text can I add to each comment? 

Thanks!

My best advice is keep your description short to avoid errors, that's what I've been doing for years and keep using CCleaner and clean your computer after you've posted your torrent and it will appear...

Thing is my torrent is an extended edition I made of a film, and I think it's important to specify what was changed in relation to the official cut. That's usually what most people want to know before they download. It's a pretty long list. Maybe there's a way to edit the description after?

There's like no way you'll be able to do that, to be honest I think you're doing it on the wrong site.  You would have been better on Demonoid when that was running, you could have put more details but sadly Demonoid is gone now which has affected me in quite a big way so have had to find alternative arrangements instead.

You can put the complete description in a text file and include it in your torrent. Anyone who needs a complete description before they download your video can download the text file in a few seconds.

As a new uploader (that is, regular, not trusted or VIP), your uploads will take some 30 minutes to appear in listings or search results though they will appear instantly to you in your own list when connected. You cannot edit descriptions; they're one-shot deals since at least March 2011.

Individual users cannot edit descriptions or torrent titles, but as the OP already knows, they can post a request in Account Issues and moderators/staff will make the changes on their behalf.
