Saw this thread and couldn't resist.

My hands down pick would be:  York Powers.  I loved how masculine and vocal he was.  I download ANYTHING if I see his name in the cast list.

There are so many others, but these are the ones I go back to often:

Mark Anthony - Stunning.  His scene in The Anchor Hotel is a favorite.
Eric Carter - He mainly did movies with Robert Prion.  His eyes were stunning.
Bobby Cordova - A Latin model who did some good solo work.  Good bubble butt.
Ion Davidov - Always liked his look.
Johnny Harden - He mostly did solos, but man, were they good!
Scott Hardman - Always loved his masculinity.  He has a big butt, too.
Tyler Hart - A cute blonde with a really good bubble butt.
Josh Harting - He had one of the best bubble butts.
Hawkeye - A Defiant Productions model.  Always thought he had pretty eyes.
Ryan Idol - Loved his bubble butt.  I have a friend who just happened to meet him in a bar.  He just happened to know the person Ryan  was with.  My friend described him as, "Dumb as a bucket of rocks."
Jason McCain - He didn't have the best body [and mostly did straight movies], but what made him hotter to me was knowing he did mostly straight movies before doing a few gay movies.
Kevin Miles - Another good bubble butt.
Todd Mitchell - Always loved his eyes.
Tristan - Another Defiant Productions favorite.  His cumshots are/were incredible.
Zach Richards/Ash McKay - Always thought he was sort of an American version of Lukas Ridgeston.  Not as handsome, but a good runner-up.
Lukas Ridgeston - Who wouldn't want him?
Mike Roberts - Always thought he had beautiful eyes, even though he was allegedly gay for pay)
Hal Rockland - always thought he was the best looking of the three brothers)
Dredd Scott - Loved his masculinity and tattoos.
Dean Spencer
Les Stine - Not the best looking guy, but his scenes were always engaging, and I always liked how hairy he was.
Troy Timmons - A CitiBoyz model.  Not the hottest, but he filmed one of the best self-suck videos of all time
Rick Waters - A Defiant Productions model.  Not the hottest guy per se, but there was always something about him that I liked; it's probably his bubble butt
Brandon Weber/Sebastian Madrid - Always liked his look.  His scene with Kyle Kennedy in Lured to Costa Rica is a favorite.
Jeff White - always had a thing for blondes and he was one of the best.  Loved his bubble butt.
Christian Wilde - Liked him the second I saw him.

Ok.

So, I found the test in uTorrent under Options.

Speed Test went fine the first time, but then failed—with the following error:

Data send error:  A local networking problem closed the connection (10053)

Not sure why, I'm not doing anything besides writing this post.

The program has been opening port 46317.

The test said the port is open and my network is properly configured.  Port mapping is set to automatic.

What gives?

Most of the settings in the program are set to default and that's the way it's always been.  So, I'm not sure what the problem is.

Update:  "Add Windows Firewall Exception" is checked under Connection, even though—as I said—I don't use Windows Firewall anymore.

Also, just to be sure AVG Free was not the cause of the problem, I set an application exception for utorrent.exe in Program Files.

So, I've been seeding a small torrent for a couple of days to try and get my ratio up, but uTorrent 2.2.1 is giving me the following error:

Not Connectable.
A firewall/router is limiting your network traffic.

It then says to open a port, and there is a red exclamation point icon (instead of the green checkmark I usually see).

What is going on?

I know the tracker has been spotty today, but that's no big deal.  I uploaded the torrent in full and there are a few seeds (including me) going, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

In all my years of uploading stuff, my ISP has never capped me or prevented me from uploading.

I don't use Windows Firewall/or Defender.  The only thing I have that does block stuff occasionally is AVG Free, but:  I've used it along with uTorrent 2.2.1 for YEARS with no issues.  The only thing it blocks are shady pop-ups or browser exploit pages.

I've NEVER gotten this error (or icon) before, so:  Is there something I can check within the program to make sure my port is open or what?

Also, just curious:  Is anyone else having this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

What is going on with the tracker on this site?

Since last night, I've experienced nothing but constant time outs when uTorrent 2.2.1 tries to update w/the tracker.

What gives?

I'm fully aware that server upgrades took place, too, but:  Is there an ETA as to when the tracker is going to be stable again?

@Popper:

Yes, you got it right. Any new downloading peer got plenty seeds to download from and the one who is stable at a part will have disabled some files from download.

The gap explains with the fact that your client will not connect to other seeder, because there is no need to exchange anything with them, like your client the other seeders got all files.

Thank you for the reply, Popper.  I really appreciate it.  I knew that leecher had to have skipped something in the torrent.  Thanks for confirming it.

That leecher is gone and the torrent is going strong, so the problem is resolved

So, I've been seeding a torrent for about 12 hours now.

There are 18 seeders, including myself, and a handful of leechers.

In the "Peers" tab of uTorrent 2.2.1, there's a leecher that has been stuck at 56.4% for some time.

In general, there's a big gap in availability despite there being 18 seeders. (See attached image)

All I can figure is that that particular leecher must've skipped a file in the torrent and that's why it's only showing that they've downloaded 56.4% of it?

I'm just concerned about the availability of the torrent.  I don't want people getting stuck because of one person.

Or, is that not how it works?  If there are 18 people seeding, I would think any new leechers would have plenty of connections to complete the torrent.

But, I don't understand why there's this huge gap in availability (in the General tab) after 12 hours of seeding?

Does anyone have any idea as to what's going on?

@haisufu:

the content offered is so limited. Many may not want to leech from the seeders (who need a better ratio) because the content does not appeal to them.

I agree 100%

I'm just going to be blunt:  The file sizes of the torrents in this category are ridiculous.

25.66 GB?  Are you serious?  I don't even have that much hard drive space, so downloading and seeding that isn't even an option for me.

The other torrent is near 2 GB.  You've got to think about people who don't have that much space on their hard drives, too, and yes:  I am one of them.

I'm not saying you have to cater to me just because, but maybe some of these torrents should only be a few hundred megabytes so that those who are facing limited space can download and seed something so they can raise their ratios.

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying:  Some of us do not have hard drives that are bottomless pits.

It's a great idea, though!

Thanks for the warm welcome, loveless922 I had no idea this place was around, but I'm so glad I found it. I can see that there's a lot I can offer here and I've already found a couple of movies I'd like to download myself, but first: I gotta get my ratio up to a respectable level I hope you'll download something I plan to upload

Hey everybody,

I just found this site today and I just wanted to say hi. I'm from GT, so I'm no stranger to uploading. I can't wait to start sharing what I have. I hope some of you will be downloading my offerings. Thanks for creating this place
