Have studios given this site any problems for uploading films they distribute (ie: Universal, Warner Bros, etc)? If so is there a list somewhere I can check before trying to upload? If there is, I haven't found it; I've been looking. I don't want to get this site into trouble.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info. Do I report such an instance here, like I did these two?
I figured it was something like that, or that a former member had the same name. I was puzzled.
Thanks!
This has happened several times, and it's annoying. A torrent is upload, and a bunch of us start downloading. Then the uploader disappears before fully uploading (I presume), leaving us all with the same percent downloaded, waiting. A couple weeks ago this happened and there were more than 20 of us, all with 90% of the file downloaded. I waited three days, and then gave up. Right now there are two torrents doing this; I suspect they were uploaded by the same person, as they are two of a series.

It sucks because then none of us get the opportunity to seed others, if we all end up finishing at the same time after a long wait. This, of course, affects ratio.
Any ideas on what is going on when this happens?
I joined last month (Sept '14) and I'm trying to learn as much as possible in these forums. Just now I stumbled on two old posts that have responses addressed to me - back in 2009 and 2010! Here are the links:
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=6036.0
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=9496.0 (see the second response.)
I don't recall ever being a member before; was there someone else who used to have the same name? I'm not complaining or anything, I'm just amused, and a little puzzled.
All of this seems like common sense, yes? It's our desire to cubby-hole everything that gets in the way.
Olitommy hit it square on the nail. I tried to find a "like" button for his response, but didn't see it.
Across cultures we as a species seem to like to categorize things in dichotomy. Examples: Straight/gay, man/woman, good/bad, rich/poor, top/bottom, us/them, etc. I think it probably stems from the need for ease of identification. The problem is that such thinking, while easy and comfortable, is way too simple and doesn't reflect reality. And the values assigned to one side or the other usually cement these overly simplistic categories. In the West we're just starting to realize that humans are not dichotomies, instead we move along a spectrum. Look at the trans rights movement, and the awareness (and growing acceptance) accompanying it.
In most cultures, the top is perceived as masculine while the bottom as feminine. And we all know how women are thought of in may cultures. India, anyone? This is slowly changing in the West, although it still has a long way to go, as Danijelr15's comment shows. And it does take a "real man" to bottom. A "real man" in the sense that a Real Man doesn't give a flying fuck what other people think. To break a social norm requires guts and that, by my thinking, is "real man-ish," regardless of whether you prance around with limp wrists screaming "Oh Mary!", or go chugging beers with the bros wearing a flannel shirt and Levis.
A Real Man doesn't feel his masculinity is diminished by having a cock up his ass. A man who is insecure does. And that's the difference.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with what is being posted here. Time for a reality check. If one of my friends was in this situation, this is what I'd tell him:
Your friend sounds to me like a user: he wants his cake and to eat it too. It sounds to me like he wants a wife, but without the strings that come with marriage, but all the benefits. And for him to have YOU as his wife is safe and allows him to date/fuck around: he's not gonna have sex with you, so he doesn't need to worry about that side of things. AND he gets someone to help him raise his kid. Have you become the full-time babysitter yet? It's coming. And he gets to approve of whomever you date - do you get a similar privilege? Sounds controlling to me. And the fact that he thinks it's fun that you have the nude and sex pics only tells me that he likes to be the center of attention.
Look, he may not be doing this intentionally or maliciously, but on some level he knows he's got you in his pocket, so to speak. But YOU know, deep down; otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread. YOU know that this relationship isn't healthy. YOU know he's using your crush on him for his own advantage. YOU know these things.
Look, I don't mean to harsh on you; we've all gotten involved in unhealthy relationships. But honestly, a good relationship is one between partners. Does this sound like a partnership? From what you've written, it doesn't to me. Plus, if you really, truly, deeply, love him, can you handle him seeing/fucking/loving others, orientation aside? Jealously will come, my friend, and the green monster doesn't go away, it only grows. If this were a straight relationship, I would say this is borderline emotionally abusive. Actually, the genders and orientations involved are unimportant: this IS a borderline emotionally abusive relationship.
So this is what I would tell my friend: Think of yourself and your own well being first. Sometimes a little bit of measured, reasonable, self centeredness (sp?) can be a good thing. Leave this situation before you get in deeper. This will not end well.
I'm sorry, but this situation needed some straight, blunt talk.
Good luck. Stay strong.
Your body chemistry is what it is, as is your body's reaction to it. Don't mess with it; you don't know what the unintended consequences might be.
When you talk about stale of frozen cum, I assume you're talking about your own. Stale cum is OK for smelling, but not eating. Frozen cum is OK. But do this only with your own cum! Freezing cum will not kill any viruses, including HIV, that might be in it.
People tend to get having a crush / being in lust with being In Love (note the capital letters); like 90% of the time we think we're In Love, when we're not. How many times have you slept with a guy and after realized that, while you may enjoy them, you're not really In Love?
I assume you like this guy and value his friendship. Try to honestly examine your feelings for him; odds are that it's really just a crush/lust/obsession thing. Step away from the emotions and look at yourself objectively. And if it is just a crush/lust/obsession thing, relax. It will fade away. Look, having a crush on someone is fun; it feels good. So enjoy it while it lasts, but don't do anything to fuck up your friendship, which is ultimately longer-lasting and more important. Someday you guys will joke about it.
I have this one lover who fucks me doggy style and is big enough/skilled enough to hit my prostate. And he gives me these incredible internal orgasms. Very often nothing comes out of my cock but an extended leak, but the head-to-toe spasms I get are better than any cock-centered orgasm I've had. Can't even describe it, but my whole body simply cums. Interestingly, this is the only position where this happens; I guess part of it is an angle thing. So yeah, love me some doggy style!
I never doubted I was gay; it just wasn't an issue for me growing up. My first sex was a disaster though. I was 17, and so nervous I was shaking like a leaf. I also came within 30 seconds. The guy I was with was a little older and a lot more experienced, and he was super understanding. So we did it a second time, slower (lots of making out) and the second time I came it took a whole minute! But gradually, as my nerves settled down and I grew more confident, I turned into the fantastic lover I am today!
I think porn has distorted what we consider "normal" size, and definitely altered our expectations. We have to remember that porn sex is not real sex: it's fantasy and these are guys with a special physical advantage who are paid to show it off to us. In REAL life I've been with guys with monster cocks and I'd say about half of 'em were lousy lovers. They knew they had it swinging, and so sometimes simply laid back and basically said "Get to work." That's OK if you just want to memorize the view for later solo use, but I have to say I was kinda disappointed. (That said, the other 50% were a lot of fun in bed.) On the other hand, I've bedded guys with less than average cocks and had a great time; there''s a lot more to a good lay than fucking.
Seven inches is a bit above average, and many guys would be perfectly happy playing with it. It's a good size: you can suck down to the root without a struggle, and when fucking (assuming you're skilled) its big enough to hit that special sweet spot.
I've always liked older guys; I had a hard time relating to guys my age back then. However, as I've gotten older, my tastes have expanded, for the better. At 48 I still find older men hot, but I can also see the attractions of younger guys too. I think as you mature and get life experience, you start to see that there are many qualities that can be attractive, beyond the normal physical ones. It's cliche to say, but true: nothing is permanent, everything changes, and this includes who you are attracted to.
So don't worry about being attracted to a narrow type when you're young (you're only 19 after all); it's perfectly normal. But also don't be surprised when your tastes start to change, evolve and expand. It's part of growing up, so be open and enjoy it. Actually, if your taste in men never changes, I would worry that you are NOT maturing as a person.
I moved to Sri Lanka nine years ago for some post-tsunami work. For the first month I ZERO sex drive, which surprised me at the time, being a horny bastard. But there was the culture shock of the move, the heat, the humidity, the new foods, sleep deprivation (from sleeping on the ground), the long days… so looking back it made sense. Then, out of the blue, one night I was thinking about this local guy (Sri Lankans tend to be real good-looking) when suddenly the ol' Johnston sprang into action. I wanked whenever possible for a week or so, then went back to my typical rate. That's the longest I've ever gone without some sort of release; I've never done it intentionally.
My point is, that under those circumstances for that month, not jacking would be considered "normal." Which means that the definition of "normal" is very subjective. So unless your ton 'o wanking interferes with your daily life, it's perfectly normal.
90% of the time we think we're in love we're not; it's usually either a crush or flat out lust. Either way, it's a normal part of life. Enjoy it for what it is, knowing that it will fade away soon enough. And wait for the next crush to come along. It will, inevitably.
I'm 47, and I've gotten my first tattoos within the last few years. I took a very long time to decide A) that I even wanted to get them, and B) what I wanted to get. So now I'm sleeved, and happy with my choices. Let me give some REAL advice:
1. It's your body that will be marked forever. Get images that YOU want, that have meaning for YOU, and that YOU have thought a lot about. DO NOT just let the artist do what s/he wants; your taste is bound to be different from his/hers. Allowing "artistic freedom" is great, but only up to a point. If you need inspiration, look on the internet; there are hundreds of thousands of examples of what people have done, and you might get inspired. Remember: it's your body AND you are paying the artist, not vice-versa.
2. A good, professional, tattoo artist will not ink you if you just shrug your shoulders and say "Do what you want - it's your art." You should come to the artist with your ideas, and some examples, and discuss the possibilities and (relying on his/her expertise) decide for YOURSELF what you want, where you want it, etc. You need to be flexible with what you want, in terms of size, location and so forth but you also have to be able to constructively criticize the design s/he comes up with, if it isn't exactly what you want. Tattoo artists tend to be perfectionists (you kinda have to, in their profession) but a professional will not be offended if your taste is not his/hers. So speak the hell up: you only have that one chance.
3. I don't think you should get inked, at least right now. Honestly, it doesn't sound like you know what you want, or even if you really want it. You are asking folks here to suggest ideas to you - don't you have your own likes and dislikes? It seems that you haven't any idea how or where to get examples of images - have you looked? It also seems that you're looking for stuff that other people think is cool; the very opposite reason to go out and get a tattoo. Tattooing is a personal, individualized experience, and should only be done for yourself, and to please yourself. If you want the general public to think you're cool, then go and buy the latest clothes. At least those you can remove once they're no longer cool.
Thanks for the info.
Instead of "leechers" we could always say… "bottoms"? 
I understand that some folks seed a torrent many times, and how it can prevent others from doing the same, which can affect ratios.
I can understand how over-uploading on one torrent can help balance the non-uploading of another torrent that has no leeches, so I can't really blame over-seeders, even if does make things harder for the rest of us.
The question: At what ratio is it considered polite to stop uploading and thus allow others to do so? 1? 1.5? ks.
Thanks!
