Yeah.. been doing that.. all good, i'll leave it up to the mods to decide.. was going to post links of a few i reported, to show you the first few i noticed in a couple of pages but this is not about naming and shaming.. its partly clarification and partly venting lol

Please do link to a few, if you will.  The uploaders are anonymous, anyway.  I'm curious about it, too, especially in a situation in which a film might have no overtly gay content but is an allegory of gay experience or has been analyzed by academics in the field of queer theory.  Would Michelangelo's works qualify as gay themed?

@gigio99:

Some special freeleech days may help whom has to stay home for Corona Virus quarantine
What do you think about it?

Every day is freeleech day! There are over 200 freeleech torrents right now.  Can't you find a couple that you're interested in out of those?

I have never understood why people have so much trouble maintaining a decent ratio.  If they aren't able and willing to seed, then they shouldn't be leeching, either.

@Dene:

Totally understand Raph.. I think where i see the most "huh?" moments in what people upload is they interpret the voyeurism as meaning they can upload a movie just based on some just frontal nudity or sexy cast members always topless and stuff like that or some vague interpretation of "homoerotic" that is such a stretch it makes you cringe

I interpret, the voyeurism part, as things like a modelling shoot of underwear or a taping of a Muscle Bulding competition etc

I was browsing down through the themed film section yesterday after reading your post and they pretty much all looked very gay themed to me.  For the television shows, it wasn't so obvious one way or another.

If you see torrents that violate the rules, click the button and report them.

@Dene:

Hey All

Can someone please point me to the section where the definition of what is considered acceptable in the "gay themed" category is ?

I read it once a long time ago but the forum search is erroring for me

Also - is there a way we can post this definition somewhere so people see it if they try to upload in that category?

80-90% of my downloads are from there and lately it just seems to be getting full of stuff that is not gay themed at all

1 example is apparently the logic is if gay men like erections or nice butts and we see one is in a mainstream hetero film then it must be ok to be gay themed? I find this hard to believe - since then we could upload 1000s of movies that really probably shouldn't be there

much thanks in advance

See #6 in Uploading Rules:

All non-porn material must be LGBTQ themed by its main plot and characters or contain a recurring LBGTQ subplot. Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay references are insufficient to meet this requirement. Also acceptable are non-porn films involving voyeurism of the adult male physique. Examples of voyeuristic material include bodybuilding, wrestling and underwear/swimwear.

@Dene:

I always assumed Straight younger/older categories were more solo stuff or gay for pay???

So essentially its not standard het porn

Most of the stuff in those categories is just standard straight porn but there's some solo and similar.

A lot of actors in gay porn are straight or mostly straight.  I have always found it interesting to watch a nervous straight guy progress from his first solo jerk-off video to actually enjoying gay sex and being in gay porn.

Bobby Owens from BrokeStraightBoys is one who went from solo to freaking out the first time he touched a dick and when he got rimmed to eventually really getting into some rough pounding, top and bottom.

Even some of the truly gay-for-pay guys out of Eastern Europe or GayHoopla, etc. are hot.  Sometimes they have a hard time not laughing because some guy is enjoying sucking their dick or licking their asshole.

@suttonty:

Does anyone else have this issue or know a reason for the problem?

as soon as the upload ratio is 1.0 all seeding seems to stop. its not my settings in my torrent program. it is set to unlimited.

You didn't give a lot of information or even say what your torrent software is, so it's difficult to give specific advice.

It is likely either a coincidence that you were the only seeder for a single downloader for a particular torrent or a few torrents or else it is your torrent program settings affecting all torrents.

Does it happen with every single torrent or only occasionally with some torrents?

Does it happen with popular torrents when there are dozens and dozens of downloaders or only with less active torrents that have only a couple of seeders and an occasional downloader?

Torrent software can have multiple settings that would cause that.  You might have a universal or global setting that governs the ratio for all torrents as well as another setting for each individual torrent that defaults to the global setting or can be customized to a particular ratio.  So you need to check for both global and individual settings in your software.  You might have looked at one but not the other.

There might be some other factors.  For instance, if you remove and then re-add a torrent to your torrent software or change torrent software, or similar, the ratio is affected.

This was posted in the sticky section above.   https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=65264.0

As I understand it, torrents posted under "shemale" will stay that way until they become dead and fall off the site.   Once they are reposted, they will become part of "trans".

I don't believe that the swopping of categories is a simple chore.

Yes, I found that post just after I'd written, but then couldn't figure out a way to delete the thread I started.

I by no means ment to imply that it's an easy job, I'm just happy it's being worked on.

Thanks, for the additional info!

I'm glad you started this thread because I wasn't aware of the change despite the stickied thread.

@lololulu19:

Someone has begun posting a lot of movies.. bundled with EXE files (probably malware) as RAR files.

Isn't there a rule against posting movies as RAR files?

Yes, no compressed video is allowed in torrents.  See uploading rule #8 at the link below.   Use the report button on the torrent page.

https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rules.php#102

Other complaint is videos in which the person being fucked is clearly in pain and being fucked by force.
That is a huge turn off for me.

Then don't download or watch those videos.  That is a valid preference but not a valid complaint about the site or even about those particular torrents.  Actually, I would appreciate it if you would provide links to those torrents!    

However, if it is a video of an actual, real-life rape, that's not allowed, so report it:

@Anhedonia:

I'm new to the forum, so hopefully this is written in the right place. (Feel free to remove it otherwise.)

Just wanted to express how glad I am, to see that you've updated the category to say Trans.  :love:

When browsing torrents, the category still says "Shemale" but the "Trans" when voting for categories for a particular torrent is a step in the right direction. It is nice to see that!

@szeptus:

really i need to report every post with that? you dont have moderators here or what?

With your poor ratio, you won't need to worry about it for long.

@dannyboi993:

Saved a few things in the last few days and I cant find a link to access my wishlist? any help? thanks

See this thread from a few days ago:

https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=65168.0

@szeptus:

there is new ads or what?

Looks like someone  is uploading torrents from chaturbate along with random unrelated chartubate photos.  Use the report button on the torrent page to report it.  It's very misleading and shows that they are just trying to increase their ratio instead of sharing quality torrents.

@timothyc65:

I've recently uploaded several torrents that do not appear on the Browse screen and are immediately listed as dead. Any idea what might be the problem?

I've written to the Helpdesk several times, but I've never received a response.

Did you go to the torrent page and download the torrent file from there and then add it to your torrent software so it could find and check the video file on your hard drive in order to seed?

@BryanGEM:

Really basic question, I'm sorry… But I've saved a few things to my wishlist here. I can't figure out how to view my wishlist though. Could someone please help?

At the top of this page, just above all the checkboxes for categories, you should see a link to "Show torrents on Wish List":

@justme80:

I just can't take it anymore.

After years of happy torrenting with uTorrent, I foolishly wanted to see the background image of the Catalina Island changing in light conditions corresponding to time of the day. Instead of just getting the picture, I foolishly upgraded to OS Catalina, where Apple finally came to the 64bit world.

You did the right thing to keep your OS updated so your computer will be as secure as possible.

I appeal to anyone here to throw some morsel of guidance how to make Vuze churn out more porn and share it incessantly.

Can't help you with Vuze, but Transmission works great on Mac OS.

@eden2999:

I have been going to nude beaches since my early twenties; I am in my fifties now. I have noticed a decline in the number of people going to these places since the mid 1990s. I wonder why the younger generations seem to have abandoned these places.

Seems that the crowd at nude beaches has always skewed a bit older.  Younger people have abandoned not only nude beaches but also gay bars, gay bookstores, gay restaurants, gay neighborhoods, etc.  Men can meet each other on Grindr, etc. these days and with greater societal acceptance, there is less need for gay-specific places.

@thc74:

Is that a user class/status thing, bear? I am still a Lurker because I seldom post to the forum. My stats only go back as far as December last year, so I am missing over a year's worth of information about what I have downloaded.

I doubt that has anything all to do with your forum postings.  Maybe it only shows a fixed maximum number of downloads and I just haven't downloaded as much recently because I like the videos I already have more than a lot of the newer ones.  Maybe try messaging a mod and see if they have access to your download history.

I have lost hard drives in the past and it is difficult to deal with but eventually it's like it never happened.  Maybe just look at it as a chance to start fresh and not worry about trying to re-download all the videos you downloaded in the past.  You probably won't miss most of them and can remember your favorites.

@thc74:

I recenly had a hard disk die on me with absolutely no warning. It took a large part of my collection with it and I am eager to replace the files I lost. Unless I'm missing a trick, the downloaded torrent stats only go back as far as a few months. The 'snatched' notification helps as I'm browsing because I can quickly check to see if it is a missing file and re-download it. But that's not an ideal solution. Is it possible to bring up a full list of all the files I have downloaded from this site? I may be wrong but I suspect I've lost a lot.

I don't know about a full list, but when I go to my profile page and click on the link near the bottom of the page for "Show completed torrents" it goes back almost three years, so that may help.

@paradox301:

Hi, thx for the reply.  Yes I changed to fiber.  Was looking forward to being able to do proper seeding with a 100MB/s like (up from 1Mb/s  :cheesy2: ).  I don't have any additional anti malware, only windows defender.

Okay, then focus on issues related to the new internet service and the associated equipment and any software.  Perhaps there is some new firewall or you need to give permission for your torrent software to upload on the connection, etc.  Maybe someone can offer specific suggestions related to your situation now that it's known.

@paradox301:

Hi All,

I am trying to Seed my download, there are Peers online, but I get no connection/upload.  I have a 100Mbs upload.  Using QBitorrent

The Peers will connect for a short time changing to 1/12 or 2/12, but no data flows.  The torrents show as seeding on the website status bar.
Tried all the troubleshooting I could find on web  :crazy2:

Have there been any recent changes with your internet, computer, torrent software?  You've uploaded over 1 GB in the past.  It's not unusual to connect to only one out of several peers or even not to connect to any of them at all.

Is it with just one torrent or all torrents?
