This tutorial is for those people who don't want to keep their computers running, but still want to increase their seed time,get seed bonuses and avoid H'nR's.
Here are the steps:
1-> Open RM (i used RM but i think it should work with other tools/mods/clients) and load the torrent. These are the settings i used, up:0 dl:0 torrent 100% completed. so it will show you as a seeder! Now click START.
2-> Check your tracker profile and make sure you appear as a seeder for that torrent. Then disconnect your net connection by either switching off your modem or using your firewall to block the connection.
3-> Now click STOP and you can close RM.
4-> That's it! Now you can switch off your computer! And you will still appear as a seeder!
I'm guessing every tracker will at a specific time in a day do a clean-up of the seeders/leechers list! when this happens you will have to again go through all the steps (starting from 1 again)Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile?
If for some reason (e.g. pc crash, or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never receive a "event=completed" or "event=stopped" and will be listed until some tracker timeout. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.
I've finished or cancelled a torrent. Why is it still listed in my profile?
Some clients, notably TorrentStorm and Nova Torrent, do not report properly to the tracker when canceling or finishing a torrent. In that case the tracker will keep waiting for some message - and thus listing the torrent as seeding or leeching - until some timeout occurs. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.
I've tested this on 2 trackers and it works!
