Sometimes people post the exact same video in multiple resolutions in the SAME torrent.
I don't think this is a good idea.. even though the downloader could pick WHICH format they want and not download the other. Skipped files in torrent clients make a mess.
For instance someone might upload the video: Self-fucking Ass Masters and the torrent contains
Self-Fucking Ass Masters 4K
Self-Fucking Ass Masters HD
Self-Fucking Ass Masters 1080p
Self-Fucking Ass Masters 720p
Self-Fucking Ass Masters 480p
Self-Fucking Ass Masters 360p
By the way... I personally don't think any video should be less than 480p no greater than 1080p
There are other sites where people do this too - however, as you allude to, it the end leads to fewer people seeding, so the "term" for which the torrent remains "live" is much shorter.
The reason for the shorter "lifetime" of the torrent is that most people only download the 1 copy (resolution) that they want, so there become very VERY few actual "seeders"... (that is, seeders of the whole torrent)... And, because the torrent remains "partially" downloaded in the tracker, it counts against your simultaneous download count! Thus, people seed for shorter times.
NOTE: This is ALSO true of extremely large torrents in general... few people download ALL of a 100GB torrent, but many may download parts... in the end, that means there are fewer seeders, more leechers, and because it counts against your "simultaneous leech" total, shorter seed times...
HOWEVER: While you may prefer to not see resolutions under 480p, some people who use hand-held devices (with very limited storage) may disagree.
Likewise, while I agree with you that - for me - 4k resolution is TOO MUCH for porn, I also know that there are enthusiasts that would love to see 8k resolution, much less the 4! To each his own when it comes to resolution...
Finally: I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to APPLAUD the original posters - the members who PAY for this content, and then share it with us! I personally am grateful! Regardless of how you post it...
THANK YOU!
I forget the exact number, but as I recall, the human eye is not capable of seeing anything higher than about 4k resolution. Instead of resolution, people should be more concerned about the frame size and frame rate.
