Keep getting blocked from a bittorrent tracker

[Over Carl]

I'm trying to download something from a website which gives .torrent links - it's massive at 31.9Gb

I started once and it was doing it's thing (when my laptop was turned on) for a couple of days (at work and at home) when it decided to stop working. Had a quick look and the tracker gave a message hinting I got booted for not sharing (message was in french as the site is french). Then tried the same .torrent on a fresh windows install on the same laptop with same problem.

Then I set another account up and managed to kick off the download. This time I thought I had better share the file. Worked for one evening last night, took the lappie to work and got the same error. This time my ratio was 0.076

So now I'm wondering how on earth I can complete this download without getting myself blacklisted for life from the site.

Ideas I'm thinking of:


My home and work ip's were on a list of users who had abused the service which let the forum admins quickly spot I had returned.
My username gave away the fact I was probably only interested in the one file I was downloading, which is the same as the "previous user"
My ratio is shit - maybe they are expecting people to start out with smaller files and get a good ratio on them before trying anything bigger,
or even on a similar line of thought, I need to throttle my download to something silly to ensure I maintain a decent ratio.

Also do I need to do this from a a fresh windows install?
Do I need to mess with/resintall bittorrent?
Am I being blocked by ip?
Or being blocked by any other unique identifier?

Anyone got any ideas - I really could do with this file and the quicker the better but I don't want to take chances and find I can never ever download it.

is the file only available on torrents?
could we not look at finding on ngs? what's the file(if you're willing to share it's name) we could all have a look for you

Should have mentioned the filename but it's a bad habit of mine to leave anything I think irrelevant out of a discussion.

I'm looking for MERCEDES BENZ EWA - EPC - WIS - ASRA 2011 (the folder inside contains a load of merc stuff).

Problem is I haven't got an NG account.

That particular copy from www.t411.me seems spot on - all the comments were good and there were detailed installation instructions, although I would be interested in any other copies (esp 2012) that may be floating about.

You tried limiting your download speed so it's less than your upload? Should help your ratio then

I can't get to the Torrent without an account.
Do you wanna ping it over and I'll give it a go.

They wont complain about my upload speed.

--EDIT
Joined to get it...
According to the Peer list they are all choked and could take forever to get it anyway.

Too many PM's OC. trying to send you another.

[mc.dodd]

just had quick look on binsearch and it's not there either..will check a few others

Are you still after this OC. only just seen this thread.

Found a 2012, 6.5 gig version on rapidgator that is still active (loads on there that are not). If this version is suitable for your needs I've got a rapidgator premium account you can have use of if you want to download it, or I can pop a copy in the post. Grabbing it now to check if its all there...About 25% done and so far so good. Have sent you a PM with the link so you can check it out. (">

Edit: Downloaded and extracted fine to a 6.2gb iso
