…and what's more, this site seems absolutely swamped with it! I just don't get the hysteria for it.
Each to their own of course!
No, you're not the only one. Apparently the viewers are about half straight women, half gay men.
At this point there are twelve seasons, a bunch of specials, and at least half a dozen spin-offs, so between the sheer volume of content and the various video qualities, formats, and collections, I would expect there to be a lot of torrents here on a gay torrent site.
The only laws the site is bound by are those of the country it's hosted in… Which in this case appears to be Russia. If the site admins have used local laws in their country as justification for removing content it's a courtesy not an expectation.
The site owner doesn't need any justification at all to remove a torrent. Seems like in this situation it is because doing the right thing is important, not because of any law.
Just to be clear, we take the privacy of our users very seriously. As such, we take complaints of revenge porn very seriously.
Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays! LOL
No, not at all, it's just hilarious to me that someone would change the format of a video simply to try to get more upload credit.
Of course, then someone else could come along and change the format again and "steal" some of the upload credit with the same file in a new format. It's like an upload credit arms race.
Why not focus on sharing files? If a good quality file of a video exists, share it on different sites. Don't change it just to change it. That will help it stay live longer. If the torrent goes dead on one site, it can be revived with the file from a different site.
Torrenting is supposed to be about sharing, not upload credit. That's what I mean by the tail wagging the dog.
Here's a similar situation that affects me directly: I sometimes put many, many hours into improving subtitles for a film I like simply because the existing ones are so bad, often a machine translation from another language. I have put 80+ hours into one subtitle because it required a lot of research and the film itself was old and difficult to understand in sections.
After all that work, I post the file on a couple of subtitle sites. There are bots that then snatch them and post them on other subtitle sites.
Once I went to the bathroom for two minutes before uploading a subtitle file to the second site and when I went to upload it, that bot had already done so. I uploaded it myself anyway, so people could contact me about it if necessary, but that's just the way it works. In fact, I count on that bot spreading the subtitles to other subtitle sites so more people can see them. I don't care that I don't get the credit because that's not why I do it. I do it so other people can enjoy the film with subtitles.
Films by Merchant Ivory are indeed superb. There's a quick mention of them at https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/mar/07/the-top-10-merchant-ivory-films-ranked .
Thanks for posting that list. I had never even heard of Shakespeare-Wallah (1965) but I'm downloading it now.
US citizens can address this on November 3.
They won't have the chance if he tries to delay the elections or contest their results.
The U.S. Senate should have addressed his unlawful behavior when he was impeached but they failed to uphold the Constitution and rule of law.
A short clip of the biggest covidiot of all commenting on the Trump Virus pandemic in the U.S. from the earliest days up until a couple of weeks ago.
He should be charged with crimes against humanity due to the tens of thousands of people who have died due to his stupidity and incompetence.
Last video I downloaded with younger guys was Latin Leche Numero 95 with Tommy and Walter.
Another common method is taking a video and re-encoding it in a different format container so that they can re-upload the same content in a different format container and make sure that it's an "original" upload in every way possible.
That is definitely the tail wagging the dog. One would have to be very desperate for upload credit to go to all that trouble that is of no benefit except to themselves because that content already exists in a different container. Even then, one might only get credit equal to a single complete upload and then no more ever. SAD!
I'm late to the party and discovered GIFs as an art form for myself. And now I got around to making a porn one. ;D
Thanks for sharing it. Can you give the source? If you are going to make and share gifs, providing the source of the material is a good practice.
it's SO WEIRD to me.
in the past, a few of the collections I posted to GTRU have been taken down.
Today I got a notice that 2 of my Mixtapes were removed (they have been up for months)I'm just curious … does anybody have any secret methods I should know about to avoid having my stuff taken down.
Same thing happened with my pornhub channel which was really devastating because I had been building that channel for 4 years.I ALWAYS try to be respectful of the porn companies. I never really post FULL videos and I always give credit to the studios and performers so I just don't get it.
ESPECIALLY when there are obviously FULL scenes that are posted.HELP ME UNDERSTAND LOL
This is another entry in the very long list of reasons why collections are a problem and single video uploads are preferred. If there is a DMCA request on one video in a collection, the whole collection goes POOF! instead of just that one video.
I know you are talking about a compilation video instead of a collection of separate videos, but the same principle applies. A DMCA request for one clip in a video means the whole video goes POOF!
Giving full credit is not the same thing as getting permission for use.
Perhaps the solution is to avoid using material from studios that routinely make DMCA requests.
Yes, "Maurice", another jewel, I agree with you, @bearbearbear… Actually my boyfriend and I watched both movies one after the other and we both loved them
Rupert Graves was in several period pieces back in the 1980s. Another good one, based on an Evelyn Waugh novel, is A Handful of Dust (1988). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095274
He was also in a comedy that is worth watching, Different for Girls (1996).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116102
Another Country is one of my favorites, too. I saw it in a theater in 1985 or so but it was many years after that before I was able to find a copy to buy to watch it again. It was a wonderful film at the time and left a deep impression on me, so I'm glad that it is still appreciated.
Maurice (1987) is similar in some aspects.
For me, I don't care. I have a strong ratio, and I'm not worried about missing some upload credits. But if the original torrent uploader is in "ratio jail" and needs the upload credit, it's nasty. I don't know how to address this other than appealing to users' better nature…which for some people is probably futile.
The tail (ratio) is wagging the dog (sharing files). If someone can help seed a file, that's exactly what they're supposed to do. No one, not even the original uploader, has the right to be the seeder and get the upload credit. That's not the way torrenting works.
However, I think it is rare that someone jumps on a new torrent with the completed file like that. Why would they do that instead of creating their own torrent in the first place, since they already have the file? Why look at an unlikely cause and try to blame someone when there are much more likely causes? Paranoia? Are people really downloading files and then sitting around waiting for someone else to create a torrent of the file here so they can jump on and grab the credit? :cheers:
It may look like it is happening because of a problem with the statistics. Maybe the original seeder is not getting credit he has earned because it is not registering or maybe there is a delay in the credit showing.
I have not uploaded many original torrents but when I have, it almost always has been the case that I get to a ratio of 1.0 or a little over and then other seeders take over. Later on I may get more credit. That's simply the nature of torrenting.
Why does it happen? Maybe because my internet connection is not as fast as most? It doesn't matter, the file is being shared, which is the purpose of torrenting. My ratio is not as important as sharing.
@bc22:
Not if it is not here. A number of the files shared here are already available elsewhere, and plenty are not here yet, not even as 'dead'.
Tested it backwards with an older torrent that had one unreachable-to-me seeder it to see if it was possible, and it is - easy too. Just have to make sure the two file names are exact in size and named the same before scraping. I was missing only a picture that was for some reason added with the video file. To really test it, it was made freeleech.
Unlikely? Maybe that might not always be the exact word. Debris? If there is only one *cheeded copy of another man's junk here, maybe it's a treasure to a few others.
Cheeded = cheat seeded.
Of course it is possible. I have done it myself to rejuvenate a dead torrent.
Yes, it is debris if you cut off two seconds from a video you found elsewhere to create a unique video to torrent here because you're worried about your ratio. That fear is unrealistic on a new torrent. Yes, it is unlikely.
Think about it reasonably.
Something else to consider is that if you cut two seconds off a video to upload a torrent file here and it eventually becomes a dead torrent, no one will be able to revive it using the original video file. They won't even be able to upload the original video file as a new torrent because it will be too close in size to not count as a duplicate.
Good Evening all, hope someone can help with my question, have just exchanged some of my bonus for invite, and it has taken the bonus points,but I can't see where the invite is to invite someone to site, Can someone please help?
Many thanks
Allan

I would like to clarify to anyone uploading DVD video not to modify VIDEO_TS folder
Please !!! leave it alone…
Some are renaming/modifying MPEG2 Video Object File (.VOB) w/c are incapable of playing full DVD's and other menu option...
Normal DVD rip content >>> ex: Folder title/unknown/AUDIO_TS/VIDEO_TS
Thanks !!!
Report that to the mods using the report button on the torrent page.
@bc22:
Have had this happen to me as well.
Am beginning to think a file has to be unique or this situation can (and will) happen again.
There are programs available to enhance or modify files to make yours unique. If nothing else, remove the last two seconds.
Then others will not have an exact copy, and will not be able to take away what you are trying to achieve.
It's unlikely that it's because someone already has that file from elsewhere and instantly realizes you've uploaded it here and downloads the torrent file from here. It's almost certainly an issue of incorrect statistics being registered or displayed.
If you alter a file just to make it unique, you create a no value-added file that closely duplicates another one. It's like deliberately adding one more useless piece of debris to the space junk orbiting the Earth.
