Torrent Magnets Issue
#1
Sometimes when i upload a new torrent it doesn't seem to be able to download for a couple of days later
or not at all like it doesn't exist from database.

So i have to resort to seeding the original torrent instead of downloading the new one from the torrent magnet from
the site.

Whats the deal it should be able to download the torrent magnet right after you upload this is a problem.

Not a site issue as the site has nothing to do with how magnets work.

You don't download "torrent magnets" from a site.  The difference between traditional torrent flies and magnet links is that with traditional torrent files, you get the torrent metadata in the form of a torrent file from a host web site while with magnet links, you get the metadata from other peers in the swarm.  All the site does is put the magnet link on the page in the form of a clickable link.  Nothing else.  You click the link and it passes the link off to your torrent client, which then tries to find the swarm.

So if you created the torrent, then you absolutely have to be seeding it or no other peer will be able to get the metadata and start downloading

If by "torrent" you mean .torrent file, the small metadata file providing your torrent's info (filename, filesize, hash, piece size, trackers, etc), TPB doesn't serve these files anymore (not even when there are less than 10 peers in the sharing swarm like in the pre-December 2014 era). You have the original .torrent file and you upload a copy to TPB which builds and posts a magnet link to the sharing swarm from which, exclusively, other peers' clients get your torrent's info. IOW, TPB is only a catalogue of torrent descriptions and links (magnets), and serves no files of any kind. So now when you start seeding a new torrent, you are seeding both the metadata and the data while in the past the server (TPB) was serving the metadata (.torrent) and you were serving the data (the file actually shared by peers). [Simplified for the sake of discussion]

TPB is fully public (not a private "tracker" with a token/passkey system) so you don't need to (and can't anymore anyway) download a copy of your .torrent file from the server after it would have been "tokened" for private tracking, something TPB probably has never done.

If you mean, you are not seeing anyone downloading your torrent sometimes,
it could be that nobody has attempted to download it, for whatever reasons.

Otherwise all looks fine. You just have to keep seeding your uploads.
Some of your torrents are well seeded too.

You could also try using the 'Promote Your torrents' section of the forum to draw interest to your uploads.
