I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Do you know how to seed?
If you are on what.cd and you don't know how to seed I wouldn't expect to keep your account for long.
And remember: One account per lifetime.

I still can't see how they could ever restrict you to one account though, you can always use a different IP/address/name/information and what not.

i know how to seed, but it doesn't seem to seed fast enough to keep my ratio up.
it say's they are seeding in utorrent after they finish downloading. but as soon as i move the file from where i had it download to to itunes it always says that there is an error and the files are missing.
so can anybody help me out? can i take some of my music that i already have and seed that to get my ratio up in the next 5 days??

Copy rather than move. It seeds from the files in the location they are. You move them, the program can't find the files anymore.
And you're really just going to have to leave your shit running for a while. One of those accounts is worth putting the effort into to have a great ratio.

Good luck. These buttmunches around here do not seed. When I download ANYTHING, I seed for days. My ratio is like a million to one

Make sure your upload speed isn't limited either in the client.

I don't have uTorrent but there should be a bandwidth or connections section in the preferences that allows you to change the max upload rate.
And you can probably upload your own torrents as long as it fits the sites upload rules - I'm not a what.cd member so I don't know what those are.

Yeah, dude, just poke around in preferences n shit. It pays to seed. I always seed and when I want something I get that shit with the quickness. I can download a full length movie in about 10 minutes lol. I don't know if its because of my ratio or not, but a lot of times I'll want something and it'll show no seeds or very few, soon as I start downloading I got 100+ seeding.

if youve moved the files your torent prog wont see them so delete torrent and re-download, quick way to do that is it usually deletes to recycle bin, drag it out of there and dbl click and set new location and it will jump straight into seed mode as you have it already, a good way to get some ratio is seed stuff that ist there, vinyl ripping if you can and filling requsts, regarding your max upload just look in the options it will be there under bandwidth tab if in utorrent and the ammont of torrents your set to have running at once may come into play,
and go to the advance tab open up and set net.max_halfopen to 50, if in xp youll need to have a prog that enables this option to take effect as its max is 10

I really don't think you are familiar with how what.cd works. You can't just 'upload stuff'. You can't just upload any music files from any source. They need to be direct rips from physical media.. not transcodes from previously ripped media. Also before you upload see if that format type and album are already uploaded under and artist. I would urge you to read over the rules at what.cd. This is not a torrent site for noobs. Also, if you are moving your torrents after you download them then you don't know how to seed. I know I sound like a dick but this is basic stuff when it comes to torrenting. Like someone has mentioned previously if you move the files you have downloaded the torrent program can't find them anymore. Also if you change anything about the torrent you downloaded ex: tags, names, genre, anything then you can't seed that file. You can only seed the torrent EXACTLY as it is downloaded. This is why people over at what.cd build seedboxes. You download all your torrents to your seed box and seed them from there then copy the music into your own private library and edit it as you want.
If you are wanting to keep your ratio up just by seeding then you are going to have to be patient if you don't have alot to seed. You can fill requests to gain bounty but make sure you upload exactly what is being requested from the correct media in the correct format. If you are going to be ripping media to upload you need to read up about EAC ( Exact Audio Copy) software and then set it up with the tutorials that are on what.cd.
Again. You need to go back and read the RULES and the WIKI section of what.cd. Don't just start messing around on what.cd without reading the wiki completely if you are this novice when it comes to torrenting or you are bound to lose your account.
I know my attitude is stern but I'm trying to stress to you the importance of following the guidelines at What.cd.
If you have any questions just PM me and I will gladly help you out. But everything you need to know is in the WIKI section at the top of your What.cd home page.
Best of luck.
The whole point of the ratio is so that you are forced to give back to the community before you can just download everything and anything you want.
If you aren't someone who wants to give back and support the community then What.cd isn't the place for you.
