Vanishing torrents ...

I'm curious if the free leeches being taken down is also hurting peoples chances to grow their ratio without seedboxes.
Grabbing freeleeches, even ones I had no interest in was how I had a decent ratio when I first started. Studio videos were like 1 gig or so, so it never hurt TOO much to grab.
Grabbing an OF you really want can easily be 10gb to like 120gb+ depending on the creator. I hadn't really considered that too much before.
-
@krad3434 One way to help a ratio is to download a new torrent and then select only a few (maybe 10% by volume) of the files to actually be downloaded to your computer. (This is easy to do with uTorrent by unticking boxes; it's probably similar with other clients.)
This way you'll be among the first to get that material, and then be a "source" for other downloaders who are likely trying to grab all the files. It also increases the probability that you'll be left with something playable if the torrent is taken down quickly.
The only disadvantage to this strategy is that a torrent for which you haven't downloaded all the files will still take up one of your download slots, even if you have all the stuff that you selected. After the initial surge of people downloading from that torrent, you might want to delete it if you have a small number of allowable slots.
-
@eobox91103 This is my strategy with large torrents. This is why OPs should continue seeding even after the torrent is reported.
-
My ratio is fine, currently I actually would like the files uploaded but unless someone actually does something about the reports its pointless lmao.
Like I can't fathom who can have the rights to enough files to get rid of the following at the same time minutes ago: 3 separate OF creators (2 managed to finish because they were under 10 gigs, one hasn't even been removed, the 3rd was 36 and was taken down in about 10 minutes), a black porn actor who has worked for like several of the studios in the torrent including ancient f*ckermate ones that didn't even come in 1080 and a half rip of a defunct site from like 2012 lol.
-
So this is the end of the site??
-
It's painfully obvious that they are using crawlers to find onlyfans torrents and report them as DCMA.
I'm almost certain that they have users on the site that programmatically check new torrents for OF content and then immediately issue a DCMA.
They could even be as sophisticated as to parse the image files and use a program to look for the OnlyFans watermark in the bottom left of the photo.
I'm going to try a few different uploads and see which ones stick.
In the meantime - please consider getting an invitation to gay-torrents.org and uploading your OnlyFans rips to that torrent site as well. They don't seem to be issuing DCMAs over there.
-
If all of this is true - what's stopping us from uploading torrents with a publicly available photo from a performers IG or twitter. Wouldn't that deture the bots?

Ive actually been purposefully not mentioning the other sites so they dont have to go through this crap lol. I'm highly suspicious its a member. Even crawlers can't identify some of the files that are removed because now things that aren't just fansite uploads are being removed, and just as quickly.
That sites already way less active upload-wise, it couldn't possibly survive whatever is going on here.
And based on the take downs I've seen its not scanning the images because some people have simply just taken twitter profile images and not screenshots from OF videos and still gotten removed in minutes.
And that doesn't even speak to all of the non-OF videos that are also being removed at random due to being bumped to the top.
-
@krad3434 Yeah, I haven't uploaded anything for the past two and a half weeks. Logged in right now and have received two notifications. I believe they were both Raging Stallion. Oh, well. I'm not donating to this site if they don't get a handle on this.

This has happened before and it will happen again, but it should eventually pass just asin the past. When? Who knows? Could be days, weeks, maybe even a month or more. Just have to be patient.

For those curious, I've done a little digging in Google's Transparency Report (https://transparencyreport.google.com), same as I did last year during similar circumstances. Some highlights:
This domain
(https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/gaytorrent.ru)As you might have expected, the number of requests have skyrocketed recently, reaching an all-time high last month (25k+). However, this isn't the first time this year that a very high number of requests has occurred: March and July featured similar peaks. Between these peaks, the number of requests substantially dropped to relatively stable levels. However, note that the more recent valleys still featured 3-5x more removal requests than in previous years. Clearly, takedowns are up both in general as well as during peak removal periods.
The most recent datapoint is Nov 24th. Nothing for December thus far, but it will be interesting to see what the next datapoint reveals.

Relative to its history, takedowns are on the lower side.Onlyfans
https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/owners/279096Interestingly, OnlyFans no longer seems to be making requests itself, which had been the case through the end of 2021. Since then, that figure has been nil. Why? Well, by far the highest reporting organization through that period of time was DMCA Force, which made its last request on Dec 22th 2021. Back then, the final significant peak of OnlyFans takedown requests occurred on November 15th 2021, followed by a sharp downturn in requests. This would seem to align with the wave of DMCA takedowns on this site which peaked, then abruptly disappeared toward the end of last year.
Finally, scanning through some of the recent requests on an individual basis:
-
MG Premium Ltd. seems to process requests Monday through Thursday while taking the remaining days of the week off.
-
Gamma Entertainment through DCMA Force does its big batch weekly on Sundays.
-
Takedown Piracy LLC does its big batch weekly on Mondays.

@therock07 Intriguing and very informative. I did not know this was possible to do. Thank you very much. Data really enlighten things. You could work as an economist. I hope we could have more data like this.
-
@therock07 wow. thanks for that. I learn a lot when people post in-depth analysis like this.
Looks like Chris Damned does a lot of takedown requests.
-
@therock07 Thanks for the data.
I'm guessing a lot of the reporting is offloaded to other companies. I think the days are inconsistent because a bunch of files were just removed and its Friday.
I imagine most of their work is for streaming sites, so its fascinating this one is targeted so much.
-
To borrow a line from The King and I, Is a puzzlement.
I got a notice yesterday that a torrent I posted was taken down...but I built that torrent by taking three "parts" of a story that were downloaded through three separate torrents, and then merging them into a single file as it was much better to view that way. (I gave credit to the three other torrents.)
Those other three torrents are still live on the system, which is a good thing. But it's very strange.

This post is deleted! -
no wonder I couldn't find most of SC's recent stuff, now it all makes sense. Thanks for all the info, I hope this passes soon and we get back to normal.
-
Keep in mind, the rapid takedowns we're mainly talking about aren't from some of the niche studios.
There are a handful of studios per category and clip sites that have ALWAYS taken their things down within a few hours and from ALL sites not just this one.What we're talking about is a higher number of mass reports towards fansites that has grown into random take downs of anything new for 6-12 hour periods per day.
-
@krad3434 I beginning to this that the site has been giving a blanket takedown notice so mod(s) are just removing anything they come across?
There's a straight OF torrent that has been up longer than most OF torrents. You don't see it unless you have the straight torrent section unhidden.
