When UK Nova stopped listing UK TV programms to record the site recommended to replace it was TV Chaos UK but the problem with this site is that it keeps telling me that my seeding ratio is not high enough and I have just over 3 weeks to improve it. I keep telling them that when I turn my computer on Utorrent starts seeding.................

I don`t see why i should have my computer on 24/7 just to meet their seeding ratios.

What sites do members use other than I player.............

Good for soaps and series also

good for boardwalk empire sky atlantic and educational

If you don't like the ChaosUK ratio rules then you will not be happy with TheBox either.

But to be fair I think thay are right - if everybody downloads more than they upload then the torrenting system will stop. You only get data because another user provides it and it is only fair that you should upload an equivalent amount of data to others.
Unfortunately, ISPs usually limit upload speeds to 50% of download speeds so logically it can take twice as long to upload the same amount of data that you download.
But it would certainly be worth your while to check the upload speed limit you have set in Utorrent - just 'right click' on the U: at the very bottom right hand side of the screen. Most users make little use of upload (other than torrenting) so setting it equivalent to 80 or 90% of your ISP limit is unlikely to have any noticeable effect on whatever else you do - and you can always change it for 5 minutes if you need upload capacity for something else (like sending emails with large files attached). Another good idea is to immediately 'stop' torrents that you get from other sites (once the download is finished of course) so that all your uploading is dedicated to improving your ratio.

Thanks guys. Couldn`t get into the box link anyway. have tried to increase upload rate....will see how it goes.

Films seem to upload ok but for some reason tv is slow.

Oh well if they ban my a/c so be it.

loose boots just leave it uploading for 48 hours with chaos it actually doesn't upload and they then won't ban you

Try again. The correct link to join is:-

Hi you might be having trouble because you are using a banned version of Utorrent.
You may need to do get rid of this and download an earlier version. TV chaos is actually very good as in order to acheive ratio you only have to be available for uploading as opposed to actually uploading.
Try this link for downloading an earlier version, its not always easy as they always want to give you the latest version, or try one of the other clients listed below.

You would have to uninstall your current client first.
The text below is from the help menu on TVchaos site.

PS have had to post it on a new reply as too large.

May I use any bittorrent client?

Not all no. BitComet and Bitlord are banned on the tracker as they fail to respect the sites private flag in DHT.

The system has a 'whitelist' of allowed clients. Clients that have not been entered on this list will not work on this site.

Banned Clients

DO NOT use the following clients:

ABC
BitComet (All versions)
Bitbuddy
BitLord 1.1
BitSpirit 3.3.2.100
BitTorrent (later versions are allowed, see list below)
Limewire (all versions)
Nova Torrent
Older Azureus versions
Rufus
Shareaza
TorrentStorm
Transmission Below V 1.34 and V1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2
utorrent1.7.1
utorrent 1.7.5 (fake version)
Lphant
Vuze 4.3.1.0
-UT3000- uTorrent/3000(25806)
utorrent 3.0.1


Also, ALLclients in alpha or beta version are banned, as these versions are still in the testing phase

These clients are all BANNED. This is for the good of the members as they give false stats which may damage your ratio or even make it look as if you are cheating.

If You are using one of these clients, please change to one that is not banned. We recommend utorrent

If you receive an banned client error message but are not using one of the clients on this list then please contact me to have your client added to the 'White' list of allowed clients, this may also need to be done when you update to a recent version.


Allowed Clients


These client versions are currently supported by the tracker.
If you do not see your version on this list please contact staff to see if it is suitable to be added.

Please note that although Vuze is not a banned client, we absolutely do not recommend itas suitable for use on private trackers as it uses huge amounts of bandwidth, which could slow your seeding down. It also has a queue system that could lead to you receiving hit and run warnings for torrents that you believe to be seeding. If you do wish to use Vuze, then you mustdisable the queue settings. Please be aware that we cannot offer any technical support for Vuze. Please consider changing to µtorrent ( µtorrent mac or Transmission if you are a mac user)

Continued on next post

The utorrent 3.0 series has caused serious problems and is banned. Both earlier and later versions are fine to use.

Wow. That`s a reply and a half...............................

The version I have is 3.2.1 like the old tv programme...........

I use 1.8.2
and have no problems.
Read the site rules carefully though.
The only trouble I have is when I go away and cannot switch my computer on for a few days, then I end up with warnings, so I have to stop downloading stuff a few days in advance. I tried parking the account, but this has no effect as once you have downloaded a programme, they expect you to make it available for 48 hours of computer "on" time.
Hope this helps
Pete
