Be careful what you wish for...

What you're describing is a single seeder, likely on a dial-up line! And you think adding more LEECHERS is a good idea?

My suggestion is to hit the RESEED REQUEST button and hope someone with high-speed connections can help you...

BUT, this is a 30+ GB "collection" torrent, added over 2-months ago. My guess is most people added it to their existing collections, thus losing the ability to re-seed (that is, all the files are scattered about where their OTHER Bel Ami files are stored).

In any case - good luck! I just hope this request doesn't come back to bite you!

PS: For slow seeders, I usually click the "download sequentially" option in my client - work on 1-file at a time! At least you should get SOME of them!

Here's a tweet from Kamala, on 3 May;

The rights of all Americans are at risk in this draft opinion. If the right to privacy is weakened, every person could face a future in which the government can potentially interfere in the personal decisions you make about your life.

Oh, the fucking irony.

You're beautiful!

You're purposefully conflating PUBLIC HEALTH with PERSONAL HEALTH.

You do know that, under Reagan/Bush there was a push to FORCE people with HIV/AIDS to identify themselves as-such in any situation where there may be exposure:

• ALL medical facilities (Dr., Dentist, Physical Therapist, Psychiatrist, Massage Therapist... you name it!)
• People who were HIV+ and didn't divulge this information could be charged with "reckless endangerment" or even "attempted murder".
• People who were HIV+ were, in some states, required to wear IDs (bracelets, necklaces, etc) that identified them as HIV+ - JUST IN CASE there was an accident and emergency personnel arrived on scene (you gotta know who to save, and who to let die, don't ya know!)

Look, there ALWAYS has to be a balance between personal (private) health information, and public safety-releated health issues. We (society, not Democrat/Republican) don't always get it right, and in times of crisis, we usually overreact.

Personally, I was far more concerned about the Covid-19 ID (vaccination) cards than I was the vaccine mandates! (NOTE: ALL of the "mandates" had exceptions for people with legitimate reasons not to be vaccinated). They seemed Orwellian and could have easily been misused. I don't know about other places, but that - thankfully - did not happen here. (The only people who EVER asked for my vaccine card was my employer.)

Here in Fla, and in Louisiana (where I recently traveled), there are plenty of places (businesses) where masks are still (this is mid-2022) required, and where people are asked to "mask up" IF they haven't been vaccinated - but allowing them to self-identify as meeting the criteria... sans documentation! Viva la difference! (Intentional Anglican-French spellings there!)

Honestly, as-is, it's not much different than the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" signs we used to encounter as kids (I grew up on the Florida beaches - no shirt AND no shoes was the NORM for kids!)

@raphjd said in Democrats throw "birthing people" under the bus:

Since the illegal leaking of the draft abortion ruling, liberals have suddenly forgotten that men and others can also have abortions.

Exactly how can a man have an abortion?

As for "others", you must be referring to trans people (phobic much?) ... most of whom take so many hormones to "approximate" their "chosen" gender identity as to render them all-but-sterile.

@raphjd said in Health care is now a private matter:

Democrats are now saying that health care is a private matter.

HIPAA (the law in the US that protects your health information) was enacted in 1996 - under a Democrat President.

So... they've been saying health care is a private matter since 1996.

The "explosive" issue in the US is that a draft proposed SCOTUS ruling was leaked, and it would repeal Roe v. Wade - the ruling from nearly 50 years ago that protected a woman's right to choose an abortion. (It had other affects as well)...

If that is the final decision, it will throw a REAL monkey-wrench into the mid-term elections: a large majority of the US electorate is pro-choice. What should be a Republican monsoon of wins may be the opposite!

Time will tell...

Welcome!

I didn't notice that initially (...very clever), even though I didn't have an issue with the new name. Still, I guess this means I had no sense.

Fair enough - I overstated the obviousness of the name... but still!

BTW: You're human... I searched my garage for 20 minutes looking for a folding hand-truck... I came back into the house, frustrated, and asked my kids if they'd taken it (them, actually - there are TWO!)...
My daughter says "I think its in the garage", promptly walks out and directly goes to them both.
Sometimes the "elephant in the room" is the same color as the walls - and is "invisible" to many an eye...

My dear, bestiality content is banned from this site. Besides, it sounds rather uncomfortable.

Not sure if that would be bestiality, or snuff porn - either way, you are correct - it would be banned.... good catch!

@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...

@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!)

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:
