Hit-and-Run: Acknowledgement and Atonement

Hello fellow Tribal Mixes members, and moderators / admins.

I confess to have committed a rookie mistake after registering for an account: not having read the Rules post account creation and prior to downloading any content.

Is it not until discerning the message notification under my username, that I realised, I am guilty of hit-and-runs. Thankfully, "My Downloads" section discloses the data I benefitted, but did not upload to fulfill the mandatory requirement.
I am ashamed of my selfishness.

I would like to know, if I procure a .torrent file from "My Downloads" section and consequently point it to the location of the previously downloaded corresponding content, initiate a seeding process?
If so, I promise, I will continue to seed for more than 12 hours. If the above action will not yield the desired result, considering I have an insignificant tally of points and no awards, is donation my only means of atonement?
Could I make a plea to be granted one download, which subsequently, I WILL upload / seed beyond the decreed 12 hours?

I reckon, the inability to download the content/s of a .torrent file from here, stems from my original neglect / violation; I attempted adding a file to the Bittorrent client I use, however, the downward arrow lights up red, and the Trackers tab displays the "https://www.tribalmixes.com/announce.php?passkey=........." entry, with the Status: "The connection with the server was reset".
