Torrents modifications

[smartstry]

Hello there,

New to the pirating scene, being the distributor to be more precise.
Recently created a torrent and started seeding, all fine and dandy, however, I am planning on terminating the torrent due to seed machine availability.
In other words, I would really like to be able to edit, modify, remove & customize the torrents that I've uploaded to the site as I hate (to put it lightly) seeing dead torrents online and/or giving away false hope.

If there is an option available or any other functionality, please forgive my ignorance.

Thank you,

With the addition, you can remove your torrents. When you click on it when logged in, you see red "x" just above torrent title on the right side.

Thank you for reply.

Unfortunately, the only red symbol I could find was the magnet link. Tried: Searching the torrent, accessing through my preferences, using another browser, logging in and out again etc.
Either I am as blind as a diluted crayon or I am missing something.

Yes, I am 115.6% sure I am logged in with my account.

As a "new distributor" you are going to have to adjust your thinking to the new paradigm. The point of BitTorrent is to allow peers to assist with distribution. The corollary of that is that once you have shared something it's life is out of your hands. You cannot kill a torrent whenever you want to. Sites other than the one you uploaded it to will continue to offer it and peers will continue to seed it. Your loss of your seedbox is not a valid reason for you or us to delete the torrent from TPB. Even genuinely dead torrents are always capable of being resurrected upon request (all it takes is someone somewhere who has downloaded the torrent sometime seeing the request and starting the torrent back up in their torrent client).

In other words, I would really like to be able to edit, modify

That definitely will not happen. Integrity is fundamental to torrenting. If you were able to change something AFTER you had put it up and people had downloaded it, that would fundamentally undermine people's ability to be able to trust you.

remove

As Hiroven has pointed out, you can do that. There are a few glitches but, in general. And mods can delete torrents if you ask (create a thread in Account Issues). [Though note what I said above--deleting torrents is not something you should make a habit of.]

& customize the torrents that I've uploaded to the site

Not really sure what you mean by that. But if you mean glossy descriptions that's not something we have any interest in. If you can't describe your torrent in plain text then there is something wrong with you or with your motives.

as I hate (to put it lightly) seeing dead torrents online and/or giving away false hope.

They only give false hope to the ignorant, who should educate themselves not be pandered to.

Aside from what I've explained before, that even genuinely dead torrents can be resurrected, swarm statistics in the torrent world ARE NOT ACCURATE, EVER. And TPB is even less accurate than most--just because TPB says a torrent has no seeds doesn't mean that it does not have dozens of seeds.

Obviously I never meant to change torrent CONTENTS, just the description, title or tags. I may sound idiotic in this thread but I do have a general understanding on how torrents work, it is just traditional upload sites let you manage whatever content you put out there.

Anyway, everything you write here is crystal clear. 

Thanks for the help.
