I'd be interested too.

@n3am:

i think that some categories like clips…bareback
are not that much important

99% of people would disagree with you.

@n3am:

I dont know what is magnet and why not used here??

I'm not sure, but my understanding is that a torrent includes extra information that a magnet does not.  I think a magnet requires that a corresponding torrent for it to work.  It's kind of like a truck pulling a trailer.  The truck is the "torrent" and the trailer  is the "magnet".  Without a truck, that trailer isn't going anywhere.

@ralphebrando:

I mean besides those not allowed?

Yes, you can request absolutely anything that is allowed.

For things that are not allowed here.. whisper those requests into Santa's ear to give him a boner. 
For $50, those department store Santa's better earn their money!

When I've been in China I had to:

disable the DHT and local peer discovery in order to avoid getting probed by the GFW disable uTP and restort to the traditional TCP-based transport

In the past, people rewrote the window size (by interception) to a smaller, randomly chosen value.
The GFW regexp(s) did not recognize the torrent traffic.
But now the fw seems to do stream reassembly, so this is not effective.

I asked some friends in China…
It doesn't seem gaytorrent is actually the subject of dns poisoning, nor ip blocking.
But the topology of the GFW is not homogenous, so it's difficult to be really sure.

If this is the case you may try to tunnel the connection to the tracker. (shadowsock, psiphon, tor, lantern, streisand, ...)
In my case, a VPN wasn't an option.. The connection for high-bandwith streams isn't stable in mainland since VPNs are banned.

Speedtest.net: 17ms ping, 32Mbps down, 19Mbps up
(browser->ssh_proxy->wifi->lan_server->ipsec->router->internet)

Line speed: 15ms ping, 98Mbps down, 21Mbps up
(router->internet)

GTorrent: 244.70kB (~2Mbps) up, 3.41kB (~0.03Mbps) down
(torrent->lan_server->ipsec->router->internet)

@lololulu19:

Your advice is very good for most people, because most people can't tell the difference between what is a real threat and what is a false threat.  The members of THIS site are typically very experienced computer geeks that know the difference.

Thanks for your response. I know I'm probably a clueless newb, because even though I've been on this site for 11 years and have worked as a software engineer, I don't think people uploading software with viruses is cool. Call me crazy!

And "very experienced computer geeks"? Where does that come from? This is one of the largest gay torrent sites, and draws all kinds of people.

@lololulu19:

There is one sure-fire way to prevent all computer viruses and malware.  Unplug your computer and lock yourself in a closet.

Well, if the site follows its own rules and doesn't allow commercial (virus / trojan  keylogger / etc. laden) apps to be uploaded in the first place…that may be another way.

Trouble was resolved. Problem was with NOD32 antivirus software.
