@eobox91103 said in Freeleech request, please:

Sometimes I connect directly to the ISP at one of my homes, and at other times use (Proton) VPN. Is one way more or less likely to use a NAT? Is there a way to tell if I'm behind a NAT?

Both ISPs and VPNs rely on NAT for home customers, in the case of VPNs, some providers offer a unique IP at an additional cost. NordVPN charges an extra €4 for a dedicated IP. ProtonVPN only offers dedicated IPs on its business plans.

The most practical way to know if you have a unique IP is going through the router's settings, under the WAN page:

In my case you can see that I am assigned an IP starting with "100.68".
Anything from "100.64" to "100.127" is reserved for NAT use.

@ianfontinell-0 Yeah, no one replied to my ticket but they did a database maintenance check earlier to fix it.
Not familiar with backend stuff so the database being the reason seems interesting 😃

What are best practices for making a torrent freeleach?

1-2 seeder @risk
3-5 seeder is fine
10 and above is a waste, ...

Confirmed, old items appearing as new is an issue with my news reader. If you are a RSSOwl user and want the details, you can DM me.

But in the process of digging into it, I did find something interesting about the RSS Feed.

Essentially, the feed is not sending the requested number of items based on the num= parameter, once a threshold is hit (250 items). Therefore, the ALL option is not really functional. Nor is changing the num= parameter to anything larger than 250.

Probably not a big deal when it comes to low volume categories like Vintage (which is my fav). That 250 item limit currently covers about 6 months’ worth of postings.

However, that same 250 item look back limit for categories like Bareback, which is much more heavily posted (thank you very much BTW guys), is currently only about 10 days. And catagory=Anal, only 5 days.

@bigdaddy3018 you need to be logged on chrome using the same google account that you're going to pay with, make sure you are logged in and are not using incognito mode.

The pay button for Google/Apple will only show up when a valid wallet account is available when the site loads, it's the last button to load:

@Rapsey-0 welp i presume you have a snippet from a scene or film, you could simply take a few screenshots from the file and upload here directly.
I suggest the very first frame, a frame from exactly half runtime, and any frame with a clear face.

@raphjd another passkey leak above

@prokrin they don't teach this anywhere, it really is annoying of the site staff:

the tracker will only mark your download as completed IF you download ALL files from the torrent. That is, if you leave any file unmarked, the download will never be marked as completed.

Your client will report to you that it's finished and that you are now seeding. But to the tracker, you are still downloading. As long as you keep this torrent running, it will consume one download slot, and we only have 8.

Yep, 8 is the maximum, the site says it is 15 but that's just a very old message that nobody ever bothered to update.

You need to pause all torrents that you have only partially downloaded. After you pause them, it can take from a few minutes up to 1 hour for them to disappear from your "download" slots.

@eobox91103 that's a good idea! The uploader would love to get points for the downloads.

@ianfontinell-0 OKAY, cool cool! thank you so much Ian, you're a saint!

@MrMazda said in there is something wrong with the tracker:

It may be possible that your passkey has been compromised.

I just wasnt downloading anything atm lol

I'm just complaining about the time it takes for the tracker status to change when you stop an unfinished torrent, sometimes it takes up to one hour, while stopping completed torrents takes effect almost instantly.

There is a maximum for pictures when adding pictures. Once this limit is reached, you'll get this error.

If the torrent doesn't seem to have many pics, it's likely that the torrent has pictures attached to it that are pending approval by staff.

@MrMazda Thanks! That did the trick.
