One of the files seem to have non latin (roman) charcters in its filename. Can you try renaming it, using only the roman script characters (a-z, A-Z)?

When you read about bitcoins, you'll stumble over the possibility to "mine" them. This consists in participation in the bitcoin exchanges by helping with the calculations.

As a low level technology enthusiast, I couldn't resist to give it a trial. Here my experience and view:

• CPU based bitcoin mining isn't efficient, even using a rather highend multicore processor. The power bill will be much higher than the value of the bitcoins earned (besides the environmental side effects). I've just tested the calculation rate and dropped immediately.

• GPU (Graphic Cards used as Processor Unit) based mining seems to be able to reach break even, if you run it while running the computer anyway. However, earnings will be very slow, unless you got one or multiple top notch graphic cards. As an example; with my lowend Radeon HD5450 graphics card (thermal design power 20 W), I've mined in 3 days 0.003 bitcoins (3 mBTC), worth right now a little less than 0.5 USD. With a Radeon HD 7970 about 40 times that result can be expected, without being much more efficient. Nevertheless you might want to give it a trail, if you got a highend graphics card anyway.

Then there is bitcoin mining using specific hardware made ONLY for bitcoin mining. Something I haven't tried out, as it requires an important upfront investment:

• FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) seems to be the current way of bitcoin mining. However their obsolescence is announced with the arrival of ASIC based bitcoin miners. It doesn't make sense to invest into this now, it is too late.

• ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) based mining is announced as the ultimate (hardware) evolution in bitcoin mining. I didn't find any consumer priced solutions shipping right now, though.

Finally, solo mining is something like a big lottery with a very low chance to be the lucky winner, means you might mine for years without any reward. Therefore it is recommendable to join a mining pool (or create your own pool, if you got knowledge, money and time) where the efforts of thousands of miners are joint and the rewards are dropping in more steadily and are redistributed following different schemes. That is where my 3 mBTC are accounted at the moment.

I guess deeper discussions about bitcoin mining belong into the "Technology Stuff" section of our forum

Only peers which got all files of a torrent's file list can de counted as seeder. If these are multiple file torrents and you chose not to download all files, you'll appear still as leecher, though you seed what you've downloaded.

Uploaded data will be counted as such by the tracker of course.

However such torrent still counts to the limit of at the same time downloading torrents and won't count for seed bonus points.

This is inherent to the bit torrent protocol and all trackers I know work like that. it isn't GayTorrent.ru specific.

This is something to be added to the FAQ

A good reputation currently does not give you any other advantage than the honour to have it and show it.

Also as far as I understood, there is no bad reputation, it can be only more or less good or not existing.
See it as a small plus of recognition for members with positive contributions to the Forum.

Note the Forum reputation has nothing to do with the torrents, up- and download or share ratio.

@cannonmc:

… No bad reputation? Hmm.

How about hovering over my 1 red block. I'm 'looked down upon'. Others, even with 'green' reputations '..have no influence' or 'barely matter'. Pretty nasty comments, especially as there appears no way of knowing who disagreed or even agreed with the posts. ...

First please see what I wrote

Also as far as I understood, …

Second, I've never seen a negative reputation (below zero), except during the introduction phase, which had been corrected by the Administrators.

@cannonmc:

….
It may have nothing to do with torrents but if that can be the 'reputation' for people who make a net contribution to torrents or always thank seeders or try to participate in forums, it doesn't encourage people (or at least me) to add to this site.

So the vast majority of people who never post in a forum can never have a 'reputation', good or bad.

That is limited due to the Forum and the main site being separated on our system. Comments to the torrents are on the main site, not in the Forum. There are many ways contributors to torrents are rewarded, for example the Seed Bonus Point gifts or higher number of allowed torrents downloading.

@cannonmc:

…
"...positive contributions to the Forum."
No, people with whom moderators don't disagree would appear to be nearer the mark.
...

Not really, because the agreement / disagreement is limited in frequency (I think to remember once a day) and in addition can't be given in a row to the same member. Further any member can use the blue hearts not only Staff and the Staff is largely outnumbered by the other users. You can as well disagree with the Staff.

Try it, you can disagree with any Staff member and thus reduce our reputation.

Reputation depends as well from the number of topics started and the number of replies, so forum "spamming" adds to reputation. Since the Staff is very active in the Forum, we got a quite high reputation through that.

@cannonmc:

"…there isn't really anywhere that explains what they are."

No, but enough people (experienced?) know how to use them so I am "looked down on".

What's two red blocks? "Dog turd on my shoe"?

Perhaps enough people don't like the hate which aspirates through the way you put your words. Nobody is asking you to agree with the Staff or other members, critical augmented posts are worth positive blue hearting, too (at least IMHO)

and really I don't know what happens with two red block and if they are even possibly existing

Check if you seed some torrents of which you did not get all files, if yes, stop (part of) them. Those count as downloading, because a seeder needs to have all files.

If above isn't the cause. Write the helpdesk.

The format of the link you provide looks as if you are coming from outside of GayTorrent.ru, e.g. Google search to the description page.

The format of an internal generated link, e.g; by the search results looks like:
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=bd94bee246d3a4b971a4245d9ffa993a48d960e597895505/

(https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=<torrent_id>)

Please use that link and it should work to comment etc…</torrent_id>

Ja, das ist das recycle Symbol. Es wird benutzt, um nach oben geschobene (auch promotet, refrescht oder gebumpt genannt) Torrents zu Kennzeichnen.

Das Verschieben wird durch ändern des Added-Datums erreicht. Das originale Datum kann mann dann am Anfang der  Beschreibung sehen.

The list of banned clients is there:

You can make use of the freeleech torrents, sharing what you like to get. There are always new, some should meet your interests

If the client asks to 'merge', it means that the torrent is the same (hash) on both trackers.

ATTENTION: Merging will result in the client to mix upload and download from peers of both tracker together. This will result in wrong UL and DL reported to both tracker!
Which exposes a member to getting in trouble for cheating on both tracker.

In your own interest, do that only with public torrents.

Only if the two torrents appear separated, one for each tracker, you are save.

A solution on same torrent is to run two different (instances of) clients.

Are you using a proxy to connect to the tracker?

I've no information about Gay-Torrents.org situation, respectively its owner's.

However, if you search for Flava Works, Inc. the web, you'll find that it's one of the most litigious companies regarding copyright. Not only in regards to other businesses (like myVidster), but as well subscribers of their sites/services.

The company is known to include invisible watermarks in the streamed (or downloaded?) videos, allowing them to identify and sue their subscribers leaking their works on the web (something which may happen accidentally, for example through lost USB sticks or lost/stolen computer devices).

Therefore my personal recommendation is not to share and download their works!

You are right:

1.) never a completed download registered by the tracker > request reseed button inactive (the case on the torrent here)

2.) a completed download was registered by the tracker, but the completed downloads list is empty > reseed request button is active, but when used the "Reseed Failed - 0 PM's sent" failure appears (typically the case when the last completed download was prior to 2013, because those are purged from the data base)

In case of 2.) making a PM asking for a reseed might help, because all members having made a comment and the original uploader (if still member) gets a PM notifying them that there was a new comment. Better alternative will be to Report that torrent as dead with empty completed list: Then staff can try to revive it (including making it freeleech, bumping and comment) and if that fails delete it.

That torrent has no completed downloads, that is why the reseed request button isn't active.

(Further the shared file's content is on our banned list, so I've now removed that torrent)
