it seems like a lot [almost of the torrents] I have tried to download in the sharing section are NOT seeding/working

there are very few torrents in the sharing section that have actually come through /downloaded for me

^ ^ it seems to me this kind of defeats the purpose of sharing if the files are not coming through for whatever reason [errors, no seeds, sharer does not have their computer on or removed torrent from their hard drive???]

I have had several torrents in my UTorrent client software NOT coming through for at least 3 months and have given up on them and removed them from UTorrent

I personally share my audio files on MEGA.nz where at least they are available to download reliably 24/7

unlike most of the torrents in the sharing section

^ ^ any thoughts/suggestions on this??

I'm usually seeding like mad but as my pooter's sick and is going for a service I'm not able at the moment.

Look at the date they were uploaded. The older they are the more likely they will not be seeding. All you have to do is ask and someone will most likely create a new torrent (like I just did on the Roma thread). I seed 24/7 BUT not forever! I would have 100 torrents seeding and that is foolish and unrealistic for anyone to be able to do. So from now on just ask in thread and I'm sure someone will create a new torrent. Most of the shows I have are FLAc and are huge. It is much easier to just make a torrent.

^ ^ ok will do thank you for the info although I still prefer file sharing servers over torrents if they are somewhat reliable like MEGA.nz [for now] because they are available 24/7 [most file sharing servers are NOT reliable tho' and get deleted /shut down]

It all depends ... I really like one-click-hosters like Mega, etc. as well but mostly for my daily tv dose when it comes to large FLAC concerts I prefer torrents BUT that said ... torrent is really a thing for site with a large base because the more the merry ... if there's a little seeder base or one one person left without a huge pipe I suggest one-click or DC++ as an alternative.

It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way ...

I've never used Mega. Just downloaded it but how do you access someone else's shared files?

like most filing sharing servers the files on a MEGA account are accessed by a direct download link provided by the uploader ie: mega.co.nz/#!90JljZRS!fPAyEVKuRHpvTJfS-0rCY3P7-q9XicuFgmPA_ZU-K38
