Upload Guide
In deze handleiding kom je te weten hoe, je een .torrent bestand moet maken, je een beschrijving moet maken, je een .torrent bestand via GayTorrent.ru's Upload web interface uploadt, en hoe je de data bestanden deelt. Het geeft geen specifiek advies ten aanzien van een bepaald besturingssysteem, webbrowser of torrent client programma.
Windows µTorrent/BitTorrent gebruikers kunnen GayTorrent.ru's easy upload applicatie QuickTorrentMaker gebruiken om eenvoudig te uploaden. Download dan QTM en volg de Guide (handleiding).
1.0 Voorbereiding
[box title=]1.1: Controleer of het materiaal dat je wilt delen is toegestaan volgens de Upload Rules. Kijk op de Banned Content lijst, upload geen torrent om iets te delen dat op de lijst staat.1.2: Zoek of dezelfde content niet al is gedeeld door andere torrents. Volg de Search Guide. Zo ja, controleer of een andere upload is toegestaan volgens de Upload Rules. Als je geen Power User bent en een DVD Video of 3D torrent wil uploaden, vraag dan via de Helpdesk of deze al dan niet is geüpload.
1.3: Het helpt bij de volgende stappen om in een plek bij elkaar te zoeken, de/het bestand(en) die je wilt delen, een beschrijving en foto's. Om meerdere bestanden te delen, zet ze in een map, die je hernoemd naar de titel van het te uploaden bestand. Deze map kan ook een beschrijving bevatten als ook foto's als je die wilt delen.
1.4: Als je torrent client programma een optie heeft om een scherm met de bestanden en download locaties te tonen wanneer je een .torrent bestand toevoegd, selecteer deze dan.[/box]
2.0 Het maken van het .torrent bestand
[box title=]2.1: Nagenoeg alle moderne bittorrent client programma's hebben de mogelijkheid om torrents aan te maken. Voorbeelden zijn µTorrent/BitTorrent, qBittorrent, Vuze/Azureus, Transmission and BitComet. De tool om torrents aan te maken is meestal toegankelijk via het programma's Bestand menu(e.g. Files (Bestand) > Create new torrent (Nieuwe torrent aanmaken) …) of een menusymbool.2.2: Je krijgt waarschijnlijk de keuze wat voor soort torrent je moet aanmaken:
-
Kies File (Bestand) om een losse data bestand te delen. Bijvoorbeeld een .avi of .mp4 bestand.
-
Kies Directory/Folder (Map), om alle bestanden in een map te delen. Bijvoorbeeld een collective/verzameling of DVD data bestanden.
Navigeer daarna naar het bestand, dan wel de map, selecteer deze en bevestig dit.
2.3: Dit zijn de belangrijke instellingen die je moet invoeren:
-
Voer de tracker (announce URL) in: http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/announce.
-
Selecteer de optie Private (Privé) tracker torrent en
-
Kies de optie om niet meteen te start seeden direct nadat de torrent is aangemaakt.
Opmerking: Bij twijfels over wat de overige opties betekenen, laat ze dan op de standaardinstellingen (default) staan, of laat het bijbehorende veld leeg.
2.4: Hierna kan je het .torrent bestand (oftewel de torrent) aanmaken.
2.5: Once the torrent is created, you might be asked where to store it. Choose a place where you can easily find it again later, for example the folder where you gathered together all information in preparation of the upload or your desktop. If you are not asked where to store the torrent, you should find it in the same location as the data from which it was created.
[/box]3.0 Het uploaden van de torrent
[box title=]3.1: Click on Upload (1) in the blue menu band to start uploading the .torrent file and creating the description page:3.2: On the next page are repeated the two basic upload methods:
-
With Quick Torrent Maker (QTM) for Windows / µTorrent users
-
By the web site interface, explained in this guide
and it remindes to:
-
Read the Upload Rules
-
Check the Banned Content , don't upload a torrent for it
-
Search if not already a torrent for the same file exists to avoid a Duplicate.
To continue click on Upload Page (2):
3.3: The following page reminds not to use the characters / \ " ' _ , ! in the .torrent file name and to have entered a tracker announce URL when creating the .torrent file.
Click on the drop down button (3) and select the Category (4) which you think is best fitting the torrent files content:
Opmerking: Power Users moeten DVD Video torrents in de DVD-R of DVD-R non-porn categorieën zetten, 3D movie torrents in de 3D categorie.
3.4: Now at least one picture needs to be uploaded. The picture file has to be less than 1 MB size and jpg, png, bmp, tif, gif or psd format. Other formats may not be supported. The pictures must be related to the torrent data file(s) content, for example covers, screen captures or a contact sheet with multiple screen capture thumbnail pictures and of best possible quality.
Opmerking: A search engine will likely find usable pictures and most media players have a built-in possibility to take screen caps. It is not the purpose of this guide to go into further details on picture creation.
Click on the Browse button (5) and navigate to the picture file, select it and confirm. Then click on the Upload button (6) to upload the picture to GayTorrent.ru:
3.5: The uploaded picture will appear, together with additional fields to fill. Only items with a small red star ***** are mandatory to be filled:
To upload more pictures, repeat steps (5) and (6). The last uploaded picture will be displayed first on the torrent description page.
Opmerking: It is possible to add more pictures after the upload. However, the number of pictures will then be limited to 10, while here at the original torrent creation, it can exceed 10.
If a wrong picture was uploaded, unmark the small box next to it (7) and click Remove (8) to delete it.
3.6: The Torrent name field (9) allows to define the title, which will appear in the Browse and Search lists and on the top of the torrent description pages.
The title should allow to identify the torrent's data file(s) content, for example the studio, movie title, actors in a clip, movie or clip number and what distinguishes it from other versions like the format and resolution. Unless it is your own home made movie, don't make up your own titles.
Themed Movie torrent names should contain the movie title, original / English / dubbed or subbed language title, followed by the production year in parentheses ().
Some requirements may be imposed to the title by the Upload Rules, for example to collections.
Opmerking: If nothing is entered, the title will be taken from the .torrent file.
3.7: The NFO file is a file with the file extension .nfo and provided with Scene releases. It contains information about the release group, the movie, the source and the encoding.
To upload a NFO file, click the Browse button (10), a file browser window will open, navigate to the file on your computer, select it and confirm (save).
Opmerking: Als je geen NFO bestand hebt, of niet weet wat het is, laat het veld dan leeg.
3.8: The URL field (11) allows to enter or copy/paste a link to a web page with more information about the torrent's data file(s).
3.9: Provide in the Description field (12) as much information as possible about the torrent's data files and their content:
-
Especially for gay Themed Movies and TV Episodes, indicate spoken and subtitle languages
- Type a description yourself or use the internet to find something existing
- Try to describe what you like much and what less in the files
- Give actor and director names, the release date or year
- Indicate possible other distributor, studios and titles
- Provide technical information like duration, definition, format, video and audio codecs, bit rates (use MediaInfo to reveal them)
- List Tags like ~comedy , ~bareback, ~fetish
- A possible appreciation of Seed Bonus Points should be at the bottom of the description
Some requirements may be imposed to the description field by the Upload Rules, for example to collections.
Opmerking: GayTorrent.ru supports many languages which are not based on Latin script letters. With an international membership, most commonly reading English, it will be highly appreciated if at least a minimal English description is made.
3.10: The last field to fill, Torrent file (13) is to indicate the location of the created .torrent file on your computer. There click on the Browse button and navigate to the .torrent file, select it and confirm (save).
Once that is done, it is time to verify that everything is right and as desired:
Then to definitely create the description and upload the .torrent file, click the Do it! button (14).
Attention! Now it is time to take a hold and to click nothing. Make sure you read and understand the next section of this Upload Guide before proceeding.

4.0 Het Seeden van de Torrent
[box title=] Remark: Daily tens of torrents are deleted which were uploaded successfully, but failed to seed. That proves the difficulty of the following steps. There is as well a real danger to destroy the data files intended to be shared. Make a back-up copy!4.1: The browser will display after a short moment the created torrent description page. At the top is an indication that the upload was successful and in big letters a reminder (15) to the important next step to re-download the just uploaded .torrent file to get seeding the torrent.
Only the small .torrent file needs to be downloaded, not the data file(s) (typically the movie file)! The re-downloaded .torrent file will have your personal secret passkey inserted. That passkey is missing in the originally created .torrent file.
Click on the Download button (16) to re-download the .torrent file. Then open it with the torrent client programme.
Depending on the web browser and its preference settings, it can be possible to do this in one step. The following image is an example of the Firefox download confirmation window, having selected to do both steps (download and open) in one**(17)**. This will be represented differently in other browsers:
4.2: Now the critical step: When the .torrent file is opened / added to the torrent client programme, the data file(s) need to be found by the programme. If that fails, the programme will try to download the data file(s), instead of seeding (means distribute / upload) them.
There are two different ways to ensure that the torrent client programme finds the data file(s):
- Having copied the movie/data file(s) into the default download folder/directory of the torrent client programme, that is where new downloads go first, before opening /adding the torrent. That way the torrent client programme should find it there.
- Direct the "download" to the data file(s) location on your computer or external drive in the download confirmation window of the torrent client programme. Availability of this possibility will depend on the used programme and its options settings.
It might be necessary to force a re-check, which should end with 100% of data being available. Don't forget to start the torrent.
Opmerking: If the torrent goes to downloading, the torrent client programme didn't find (all) data file(s). In that case, try to correct the download location or remove the torrent, but not the data file(s) and restart from re-downloading the .torrent file.
4.3: If everything is right, the torrent will appear in Browse and Search active torrent list showing one seeder in the S/L column (18). That seeder is you, the original uploader:
Keep the torrent client programme running and the torrent started until at least 3 other seeders (4 with you) become available. You can see the number of seeder in your torrent client programme, GayTorrent.ru's torrent list or the torrent description page.
Opmerking: If you can't upload continuously, indicate the seeding times including time zone offset to GMT/UTC in the description.
4.4: The following picture shows the torrent having now 4 seeders and 1 leecher (18). The torrent's data files have as well already been completely downloaded by 9 members (19). That indicates some members have already left the swarm:
Opmerking: Compared with the previous picture, it is noticeable, that the torrent Title and the first line of the description (20) were changed by a moderator. Please don't reverse such modifications. In case of issues with the modification get in contact with a moderator, either in reply to a private message about this torrent or on the Helpdesk.
[/box]
**5.0 Verbeter je beschrijving **[box title=]5.1: Als een moderator je vraagt om de beschrijving, titel of foto's te verbeteren, volg zijn verzoek dan op. Het goede nieuws is dat alles verbeterd kan worden. Het is mogelijk iets te wijzigen zonder de torrent te verwijderen en helemaal opnieuw te beginnen.
Om de torrentpagina te wijzigen, ga er eerst naar toe en selecteer [Edit this torrent] (21) naast de Upped by (Anonymous):
Opmerking: Een torrent beschrijving kan worden gewijzigd binnen 7 dagen nadat het op de site is geüpload. Daarna kunnen alleen moderators dit aanpassen. De edit functie bevat ook de mogelijkheid om de torrent te verwijderen. Verwijder niet zelf een torrent die leechers of seeders heeft.
5.2: Once the upload process is mastered, you might want to improve your uploads by learning how to Make Good Descriptions (guide to be created).
[/box]
6.0 Meest voorkomende problemen en hulp
[box title=]Here are some common issues and their solutions:6.1: The error message Upload failed! Invalid filename! indicates that the .torrent file name contains some characters which are not permitted because they could create problems / \ " ' _ , ! . Most likely the apostrophe ' or a comma , . It is sufficient to rename the files, without using one of these characters.
6.2: The Missing dictionary key error indicates that at creation of the torrent file the tracker announce URL was not indicated. A new torrent file including a tracker URL needs to be created. See point 2.3 of this guide.
6.3: When the site / browser seems to stall / freeze after having clicked the Do it! button, it is likely that a big movie data file has been selected in the Torrent file field instead of the small .torrent file. The page will either time out after a long moment or indicate that uploaded file isn't a .torrent file. Select the right file to upload, means the .torrent file created at step 2.0 of this guide.
6.4: Voor andere problemen, lees deze handleiding nogmaals om te zien of je iets hebt gemist, raadpleeg de Support en Guides sectie van het Forum voor soortgelijke problemen en oplossingen. Tenslotte is er de Helpdesk.
