SuprBay: The PirateBay Forum

Hello,

I'm having some trouble configuring my torrent client to correctly display seeds during downloads. Currently, when I'm downloading, it shows 2 seeds - one is my PC, and the other is a specialized seedbox. However, after uploading to The Pirate Bay (TPB), it displays 0 seeds. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue and would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you could offer.

Thank you for your help!

Not surprised to hear this;  the displayed seed stats on TPB have been highly inaccurate for many years.  Old hands know that that "0 seeds" often means a low number of seeders, not that there are actually no seeders, particularly for more recent torrents.  I have often hooked onto a "0 seeds" torrent and gotten a quick download, probably because someone was using a seedbox like you are.

Incidentally, there have been threads on this subject before.  It's a good idea to do a thread search before posting because we have answers.
