@lololulu19 said in Gaytor.rent forum domain:

@raphjd It might be better to just stick with the working RU domain. I don't think anybody really cares about what the domain is.

In fact, if someone were to be worrying about a domain, they might be concerned about a "RENT" domain because that implies a website that is for accessing prostitution / rent.

The impetus to change the domain was the war in Ukraine and not wanting the site to be associated with the country of Russia.

Anyone with any sense can see that the .rent TLD is being used as part of the word "torrent" here...

Unless you think you want to "rent" a gay alligator?

@eobox91103 said in Catch 22 - Humongous Torrents:

@LordNemesis One big problem with huge torrents is that if they have content from a studio that is aggressive--and rapid--with takedown requests, it's possible that nobody will get even one completed file, even if s/he has only selected a few files from those available. The uploader thus gets seed credit, but downloaders can be left with nothing usable. I agree that some forced moderation here could be appropriate.

I share your dislike of unintelligible file names with no thumbnailing. This is inexcusable given the ease of solving this problem: I have a utility called "AMT Auto Movie Thumbnailer" (freeware available at https://funk.eu/amt/ ) that will make bulk thumbnail mosaics from a whole directory of videos--one can give it a whole folder of video files and it will produce a preview image for each one. These can be included in their own directory in a torrent so that downloaders can decide which--if any--video files they want to download.

So, for 1 there are 2 options in your torrent client that can help with HUGE torrents:

1. the ability to download only a few files... select a few, download them, then select more! (the selection is interactive - you can add/remove files from your selection at any time!)
2. most torrent clients have a switch to force (attempt) downloading in sequential order... even though this is a "violation" of the torrent concept, it's there (it's just changing which blocks you request when from "random" to "sequential"). There is no guarantee how this works on your client, and it's dependent on those "sequential" blocks actually being available.

Finally, as for the "random" filenames on OF content - blame OF for that, not gaytor.rent... that's the way they come from OF, and IMHO, I'd rather folks left the filenames alone so it's easier to find dupes!

I agree that a set of thumbnails might be nice - and, honestly, I seldom download OF content because most of it is shot on a phone and is less than a minute or 2 (or 5) in length... I wouldn't even keep videos of my own BF that were so short and worthless!

@dretafari said in Is this site owned and operated by one person or group?:

@eobox91103 Oh thanks for the response. And I guess you're right. Wasn't trying to pry. It makes sense tho. Thanks again.

All I know is that there is a volunteer staff that runs the place. MOST of the staff are nice, but sometimes "firm" in enforcing the rules. My guess is that being on Staff can be stressful, because I've seen some staff come on-board and disappear after a short while. Others (like @raphjd - the Administrator of these Forums) have been around a long (long... long...) while!

I've been around since 2008... not staff, just observant...

From a tech side, they use CloudFlare (seen when there are connection issues ) - and that hides all of the internal workings...

@arlawson said in Using a mac to upload?:

Hello,

I want to upload some things to try and fix my ratio and I would like to use my old MacBook instead of my windows gaming pc. Is this possible? I also need to know what's wrong with my router cause most of the time my torrent client never uploads after I download stuff. I have left torrents running for hours after it finished downloading and it uploaded nothing (unless it's a freeleech item, but they upload very slow), but when I download for other sites like thepiratebay or rarbg I can upload with my no issues at fast speeds. Can someone help me with this problem?

Router: Arris Surfboard SBG6950AC2
Internet Speed: 1GB Download, 100 MB Upload
Torrent Client: qBitorrent (Windows 11 and macOS High Sierra)

Absolutely - somewhere on the forum is a turorial for qBittorrent one of the admins wrote - it works for Windows, Mac, and even Linux.

I'll look and post a link here if I can find it...

@djsoapbubble said in New perv in town. Hi!:

@bi4smooth Are you directing me to this per se? Or, the newbie?

Directed to (not at) @sparky2727 & @Dfwperv
Both of whom indicated they needed information about sharing...

The Internet - as a whole - changes... daily, hourly, every second of every day... some days more changes happen than others, but it is a constantly evolving, constantly morphing entity as a whole.

How we (users) actually USE the Internet is changing as well - where we once used the Internet to download videos (movies I'm talking about here, not so much porn - tho porn almost always seems to be a "leading indicator") and to build up your "library"... now a days, we stream.... Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, Disney+ (anyone else laugh as hard as I did when Warner Bros. Discovery pulled the plug on CNN+ less than a month after it launched? Someone messed up - BADLY!).... WHO KNOWS what it's gonna be in 5 years, 15 years, or more?

It's ridiculous to think that torrenting (like we have been doing for decades) will remain as-is forever! If you're not changing with the times, you're getting left behind! And the pace of change is increasing!!

Does that mean that gaytor.rent is headed for the dustbin of the Internet? Sure! But the same way you are already getting closer to your memorial service! It's not a question of IF we die, but rather when, and what do we do between now and then!

Changes have to come... and the recent changes here (apparently) reflect some changes in how the Internet is being "policed" - at least in the site-owner's locale. You can fight the tide of change (I used to know an engineer who refused to give up his slide-rule! You can't even find them anywhere BUT on the Internet today, though!), or you can adapt to change and live a fuller, brighter future WITH the change!

I think this deserves a more in-depth description....

First off, you never ever upload a torrent's contents to this site.... when you download from here, you get only the .torrent file itself from the site - the file(s) in the torrent come from other users!

So, what's actually in a torrent file? A bunch of "metatdata" - that is, data ABOUT the file(s) in the torrent:

• folder name(s) - if present
• file name(s)
• checksums for each "chunk" of the entire torrent
• the URL for tracker(s)
  and some other technical stuff you probably don't care about.

Now, when you create a NEW torrent the URL for the tracker is a "generic one"... and since this is a private tracker, it is unusable in that state - but the REST of the metadata NEEDS to be uploaded to the site!

The reason the torrent you upload is unusable is because this is a private tracker (repeated information!)... that means your announce URL has a special string in it: your KEY. This key is your key to this site - and any downloads that happen with that key are "charged" to your account, and any uploads that happen with that key are "credited" to your account! (That is why you shouldn't share your .torrent downloads!)

Now, let's define a "dead" torrent: any torrent on the tracker who has no registered seeder and no registered leecher is, by definition, dead.

Now, when you first upload a new torrent - remember, you're only uploading the "generic" .torrent file - the site has no leechers (how could there be?)... and no seeders!! That's because your torrent client is still using the "generic" URL (not the one with your key)...

So, ALL freshly uploaded torrents START OUT DEAD! You (the uploader) have to re-download the .torrrent file (this time, with your key inserted!)... once you re-download the .torrent file and add it to your client! When that .torrent file registers with the tracker, the torrent will become "un-dead" and people will be able to download it (and leech it from you!)

Just remember: when you re-download the new .torrent file, you're getting a unique .torrent file... and, when each leecher downloads the .torrent file, they also each get unique .torrent files! (Unique because each has their own key installed!)

@djsoapbubble said in New perv in town. Hi!:

Hi Sparky! Welcome to the site and forum! I'm always eager to meet and greet the horny newbies. I usually see Chaturbate and Cam4 things posted up on here, so I think you'll be happy for the most part. As far as the upload and ratio uncertainty, there's a FAQ's section that may answer some of your questions. If not, there's the support desk as well:

https://www.gaytorrent.ru/faq.php

I'm not a moderator or anything but I have been a moderator for several primetime and daytime entertainment message boards in the past. Although I'm not a moderator here, I love making new peeps feel welcome.

You will want to familiarize yourself with the "ratio" rules:

@lololulu19 said in Help seeding:

@nikovano I got it.. but I can't upload for another 10 weeks because I uploaded files that were not copyrighted, but I got punished for uploading them anyway.

Oh you poor, poor man! The torture you have been exposed to!

Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat, InstaGram, take your pick - they're "social media darlings of the moment" - and so far (in the Internet Age), there have been a total of ZERO "darlings" that have lasted...

Remember, Facebook replaced MySpace which replaced GeoCities... The brilliance of some of these site owners has been the ability to monetize and capitalize on these "properties" so quickly!

There will be a replacement for Facebook eventually - and Twiter, and the rest - it's just a matter of time. The best part is that it only takes a few $thousand to start up a new app - the expense comes when you need to expand and grow! But the tech has never been the hard part - getting people to USE it is the hard part!

Ask Parler... or DOZENS of other would-be social media "darlings" - it doesn't take money or tech to succeed (though some of both ARE required), rather it takes "magic" - the "magic" of being at the right place at the right time to "catch fire"...

Even Donald Trump couldn't create that "spark" for his own "Trump Social" - and it's (so far) falling flat! But then Facebook didn't start out "on top" either!

If you can predict the future, which one will you bet your own money on???

@bomby said in Site changes 7 March 2022:

I miss the requests section!

I miss my dead ex-fiance...

I think they both have an equal chance of "coming back"...

What's the point of this posting? Did you think taking away the request board was a punishment? Directed at you?

Look, it was explained somewhere - the site owner is being careful that this site isn't "shown" to exist primarily for the purpose of illegally sharing copyrighted material. Taking down "requests" is a protective measure, not a punitive one.

@lololulu19 said in Different way to have sex...:

@Kowmei Thanks for the information!

It is so seldom talked about, that even I didn't know what it was called!

Well, your notion that gay "culture" is fixated on penetrative anal sex is quite true. There also seems to be a curious fixation (at least in porn) with the "facial". I've taken to just deleting a LOT of porn where the top pulls out of a perfectly good bottom and maneuvers solely to finish by jacking off on his face.

Don't get me wrong - I like a facial cum shot - as an ending (or partial ending) of ORAL sex... but all that rearranging of bodies so you can finish a FUCK with a facial - well, its a turn off to me...

Back to intercurial sex - it can be VERY pleasurable for both the top AND the bottom, if done right!

It features Reno Gold demonstrating what FROTTAGE is.

Frottage is when one slides their penis betwixt the buttocks without actually penetrating the rectum. I practice this regularly.
It is rarely if ever seen in porn videos.. I suppose it is similar to a man sliding his penis betwixt the breast of an overly endowed female.

Try it, you will like it.

Also.. it amazes me that back in the days when people thought AIDS was the end of the world... nobody ever mentioned FROTTAGE. All they wanted to talk about was condoms.
Also.. breeders should be taught that they do not have to stick their penis in a vagina to get their rocks off... there is FROTTAGE!

RaphJD knows all about FROTTAGE, because his cock is much too large for 90% of guys to take up their ass.

Interesting post, but that's not what FROTTAGE is:

frot·tage /frôˈtäZH/ Noun. The practice of touching or rubbing against the clothed body of another person in a crowd as a means of obtaining sexual gratification.

That said, not only is rubbing your penis along the crack of your partner's ass (or, between his thighs) erotic, it is also the EXTENT of what ancient Greeks used to practice (albeit in a pederastic form)...

That is: much as the Greek are "known" in "modern times" to favor anal sex, the historical record shows that to be incorrect - it was generally considered "unseemly" and certainly degrading to be the bottom in penetrative anal sex. (In part, remember that hygiene & cleanliness were far from "top of mind" in those days!)

@lololulu19 said in Site changes 7 March 2022:

@beelsheran What is your problem? You don't like masked asian porn with digitized genitals, guys jacking off in their parent's basements? and random 40 gig Onlyfans packs that contain 500 videos that are are about 20 seconds each which are solos?
If you let your eyes fall out of focus, the digitized masks on the genitals almost vanish.

HOWEVER.. it always puzzled me that when there was a request section.. at least half the requests were of obscure, unattractive guys - which is why I think only Super Users should have access to the request section.. Which would also be a huge INCENTIVE for lurkers and leechers to BECOME super users.

Just what makes you think there ISN'T a super-user's group - and YOU just aren't invited?

@edu29d said in bdecoder::getbytearrayfromstream:truncated:

I have found I have the same issue with some but not all torrents on the gaytor.rent. I can get the torrent to work properly by looking it up on the gaytorrent.ru page and redownloading from there.

I've been reading some of the complaints - I'm a computer consultant by "trade" - and this strikes me as potentially a memory issue... depending on the code base/technology used, they may need more RAM, more SWAP, or more HEAP space...

I don't know how else to posit this tidbit of insight - and the Site admin has probably already considered this - but there! Now its out there...

And yet, you continue to "press your luck"...

You gotta know that, should the site owner decide to take a look over here (vs. working on fixing some new, annoying, bugs), your butt would likely be as banned as Sebastian Bleisch videos!

My fingers are crossed... though, I do have to admit: your complaints and nagging account for about 20% of the overall Forum traffic right now!

I yearn for quieter times...
