My torrents are not downloading, either. I'm using qbitorrent and it says the status of the tracker is "not working". This started happening yesterday.

i saw an outage as well, but it appears live now.

According to feminists and their simps, only men ever do this.

This should be a criminal act - in the same way threatening to beat up someone is ASSAULT and actually doing it is BATTERY.

As for your asinine conclusion that feminists (or any other sane people) thinks in terms of ALL and ONLY, well, that's just you being you...

@zavax said in How is it decided who has the duplicated torrent?:

I just had a torrent I uploaded a couple months ago deleted for being a duplicate just after someone else uploaded the same movie this morning. My upload was first yet the new uploader's file was allowed to be loaded and mine deleted. Not sure how or why the system works this way.

I think you're likely mistaken...

Purely from observation: when a duplicate is detected, the DUPE is removed - but since people will have SEEN it, and maybe WANTED IT, the mods push-up the original... so it LOOKS new. Usually, they also FREELEECH it for a while... I think thats how they keep the "pool" of freeleech torrents "full"

To confirm, on most FREELEECH torrents, you will see a RECYCLE logo on the torrent name, and an "Original Upload" line in the description...

I'm pretty sure those are the torrents that were duped.

Then again, mods are people too... if you think YOUR torrent was newer, write the helpdesk and ask!

But you voted for Biden/Harris and in case you forgot, they ran on the DNC ticket.

You're right - 40 years of supporting Republican candidates - up and down the ballot, and when I vote non-Trump, I'm EXPELLED from the party!

EXACTLY what you would expect from a fascist, Russian TOOL!

You Democrats just can't stop dragging Trump into every conversation.

ROFL - you Trumpites can't stop calling any non-Trumpite Republican a RINO or a Democrat!

You're a 'RITO' - Republican in Trump Only

@chubbytossbm said in Just joined and need to up my ratio:

I tried picking a new torrent with the intent of seeding it, but then it dried up and I barely got to upload anything. Can anyone recommend tips on getting my ratio better? I hate being a leech.

Look for newly minted freeleech torrents - they generate a LOT of traffic! If you "get in early" you can seed the masses who come after. (Not much value - for ratio - in downloading and seeding older freeleech torrents, as there are so many seeders, you won't get much action...)

Just my opinion... hope you get your money's worth!

You are surprised when Dems - especially those who never were actually ELECTED to their positions - say stupid things?

This lady (no offense to her womanhood) was put into office as an after-thought when the Dems were still fawning over their "chosen son" Cuomo. She was no more prepared to actually BE the Gov of NY than Dan Quayle was to be President when Bush 41 was President! (Or, Harris is today!)

If the hope is that NY voters will turn on the Dems, I hope you've been practicing holding your breath! That day may come, but that day isn't close yet! (Some causes are too-far-gone LOL)

The real question is just how liberal will the next NY Governor be after the 2022 election cycle? NY isn't quite as "foregone" a conclusion as California is as-far-as-electing "the Democrat"... but it's close!

But hey - we used to think GA was a LOCK for the Republican Party! This 2022 election cycle is going to be a DOOZY there next year! ESP with cry-baby Trump coming out AGAINST a reliable, reasonable, Republican Incumbent!

@bi4smooth

I'm still waiting for you and your fellow Democrats to criticize Biden and Co.

The forums are silent when it comes to you people criticizing Biden.

Maybe you guys are criticizing the DNC in some secret bunker hearings with Shifty Schiff or whatnot, but you aren't doing it here.

LOL - I've written PLENTY of anti-Dem posts here... including warnings MONTHS ago about the coming inflation (which you now see being reported not just in cars and homes, but in pork-bellies [aka: bacon], beef, chicken, and soon to be your favorite vegetables too!)

I've been reading warnings that holiday decorations are going to be pricier this year in the US... but, it's not going to stop there! Higher prices are here for gas, and almost everything else... and most of America is lassez-faire about it all! After all, they HAVE more money, so they don't mind spending it! But their extra money is temporary! The Gov't cannot just keep handing it out!

I am so tired of politicians (on both sides) playing to the DUMBEST elements of their respective parties...

@bi4smooth said in Question About Using Bonus Points:

So far as I can tell, if you STOP SEEDING, the site will eventually STOP listing the torrent as "downloading" - e.g. you CAN abandon a download - but to do so, you have to REALLY abandon it...

Just remember that "stop seeding" means removing the torrent from your client's torrent list. You can keep the files you've downloaded, and even keep the .torrent file on your computer if you want to come back to it in the future. In uTorrent, this means right-clicking on the torrent in question, and either selecting "remove" (which keeps the .torrent file, but it's inactive), or choose "remove and delete the torrent [and perhaps the downloaded files if you don't want them]."

Full disclosure: Brother bi4smooth has convinced me that uTorrent is a POS and I'm going to migrate to qBitTorrent, but I don't know how that one works.

Thanks for the faith! I do love the qBitTorrent program - somewhere hidden in the forums is a how-to with LOTS of tips on setting it up specifically for here... I'll look for that link and post it here if I can find it....

To your point: the process is the same in qBitTorrent - you choose delete, then get an option (check-box) as to whether to delete the files associated with the torrent.

I will say, though, that the mods have FULL FAITH AND CONFIDENCE in the version of utorrent they promote on the QTM installation page...

But torrent programs are like shoes... everyone has their favorite, and as long as the job gets done, they generally aren't noticed much....

but set your torrent client to only download maybe 10% of the files.

First of all, thanks for your reply and for the tip!
I tried once downloading only part of a torrent and it acted as if I'm still downloading the torrent even after I started seeding. Is there a way to fix that?

So far as I can tell, if you STOP SEEDING, the site will eventually STOP listing the torrent as "downloading" - e.g. you CAN abandon a download - but to do so, you have to REALLY abandon it...

@eobox91103

uTorrent has a colored past.

You DO NOT want the latest version, nor any of the recent versions. There is a forum post about how to install the "recommended" version. I think there is a link to it in the QTM howto?

I personally use qBitTorrent...

@gosthot69 said in No more Austin Wolf torrents??:

@jdancerny I saw one today: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=85b6f265ecea10b30e6b070bb5709535642b88df0e0a1bef

AFIK there are no announcements when torrents are taken down for DMCA requests... they just go away.

It sucks when it happens, but you get what you pay for, and since this is FREE, the best we can do is ask that people re-post it!

As I pointed out in my post above: nothing wrong with being curious - I've had about half of my "collections" torrents from major sites pulled for DMCA reasons... I don't like it either.

The difference is that I'm not going off on the admins about it. If they get a "valid" DMCA complaint (I have no idea what makes it valid LOL), they HAVE to remove it. Why? I don't know exactly, but I would imagine some of the principals are US Citizens (or citizens of countries with their own DMCA kinds of laws), which could potentially open them to lawsuits.

Honestly, given the amount of porn shared on this site every day, I count my blessings and take what suits me with no complaints. When my uploads are pulled for DMCA, I recode them (usually with an h265 codec) and eventually re-post them.

The point is: I'm getting free porn. I am entitled to NO FREE PORN. Each download is a gift... if some of the gift boxes are empty, or get taken away before I can grab them, so be it! I'm still getting new gifts EVERY DAY!

BTW: I'm with you on questioning HOW the contents get "discovered" - and if I was the site owner, I'd probably do what's necessary to disable site intexing and search listing by Google and the other engines... But that's akin to the same comment I make about other situations for which I have no control: When I am elected King, I'll fix everything!

@massafera said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

@bi4smooth maybe then don't owe an answer to one single user, but this is a problem that is affecting thousands of users who use that category everyday to upload and download. So yes, they should address this as soon as possible. I already asked on helpdesk under the DMCA category and I got no answer so far. So I tried the forum and still nothing has been said. I am patiently waiting but this is not a small issue and users do need an honest answer regardless of how much we pay. As I said, it's affecting thousands of users.

So - let me get this straight: You're complaining that people who ILLEGALLY (in most countries, at least) share their porn - can not do so in the VOLUME that satisfies YOU?

Dude - when you read the stories about the "dark web" where people share things (like stolen data, credit card numbers, and porn) that they shouldn't... you're on it!

99% of the porn you're downloading here is porn that is NOT supposed to be shared. Yet, here we are - doing it anyway!

There was a period in time, not so long ago, when Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher were both aggressively SUING downloaders and seeders alike for illegally sharing their material. That has abated (too expensive for too little reward), but the truth is: we're still stealing their porn when we share it here!

I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but your complaint is akin to the guy who steals 10,000 credit card numbers and then complains that his ex-wife's isn't on the list (or that his own *IS on the list! LOL).

If the owners/moderators of the site WANT to share information with you about why, then so be it - but you are ENTITLED to nothing! Zip! Zilch! "King of all Ghostings!" - including a 100% refund of your site-joining fees!

Fine! If you want to LAMENT the loss of those videos - I lament the loss of 1000s of Sean Cody videos on their site, and now especially hard to find elsewhere... but that doesn't mean I'm OWED those videos - even if I'm a PAID member there! And you are OWED nothing here, either.

I will end with this observation: your attitude isn't likely to get any kind of a POSITIVE response from any Staff member that I've ever chatted with! And I've been on here since 2008!

@raphjd said in Where are the Biden supporters?!:

@bi4smooth

I claim you can't be a Republican because there isn't a single DNC dogma that you won't defend to the hilt.

No, I have railed against Biden and the Dems from the time they took power. You conflate an argument against your exaggerated, hyperbolic, and sometimes even FALSE claims as somehow an argument against what you're trying to support.

For example:
FACT: Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 men & boys in the 1980's, partially eating some of them, practicing necrophilia on some of the latter corpses, and keeping body parts (mostly bones) as "treasures" to remember his victims by.... overall, a bad guy who met his end in prison at the hands of a fellow inmate - being beaten to death.

You would likely post something akin to:
Dahmer was a typical LIBERAL! He and Nancy Pelosi killed DOZENS of children because they were blonde and gay, raped & tortured them, ate them, and then sold their bones on e-Bay. And Chuck Schumer helped cover it all up!

To which, I would reply: There was never any indication that he was a Democrat (or Republican), nor that he had any ties to Congress at all - you just made that up! Plus, he killed only 17, not DOZENS; they weren't all boys, some were adult men; there was no indication they were sexually abused BEFORE death (he did apparently practice necrophelia... ew... on some of his last victims though); and he never sold any body parts on e-Bay... that would have made finding him much easier! As it was, it took more than a decade to catch him!

To which, you would reply that I'm in love with Nancy Pelosi and support murderers and rapists, like all the other Liberals....

I'm not sure why you would think that's not their job... Just saying...

As I understand things, there are different staff members for different operational areas of the site.... with site operations being separate from torrent "moderation" being separate from forum "moderation" (this is what I have gathered from being on this site since the stone ages - like 2008 I think!)... I would be surprised if there weren't OTHER areas of the site I'm missing.

But if past experience is any measure, moderators (staff) DO NOT read every post in the forum! What's more, if a forum moderator read your complaint, who's to say s/he would know anything about what you're talking about?

Also, and I'll get off my high horse after this comment: what's to say YOU are due an explanation? Are your subscription fees ($0.00) any higher than anyone else's?

@raphjd said in Where are the Biden supporters?!:

@bi4smooth

UMM, that is what the liberals claimed here.

If I support someone they don't like, I have to support everything that person does or says.

Also, you said that I wasn't a conservative because I didn't (still don't) support RHINO Romney or any of the warhawks.

You see, there is the difference. I do not claim you couldn't be a decent Republican just because you don't (or didn't) support Romney, or Bush, or McCain... (Though I do complain that you're not much of a Republican if you didn't support a SINGLE Republican Presidential Nominee in the 20 years prior to Trump!)

You, however, claim that I cannot be a Republican - now or ever - if I don't support Trump...

You want your cake and eat it too... which doesn't even exist in fairy tales!

@marshy said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

I just received a Demand for Deletion of Infringing Domain from their lawyers because my domain has the word "fans" in it. They're definitely up to something. It's possible a lot of performers are complaining about piracy sites not removing their content and they want OF to do something about it.

So I am an IT consultant, not a lawyer - but I'll tell you this about your domain name: tell them to pound sand - the US laws do not apply to Internet Domain Names. If they want to PURCHASE it from you, that's all well and good - $250,000 and a lifetime "membership" to all OnlyFans content - current and future. Otherwise, kiss your royal ass!

They could, theoretically, sure in US courts for DAMAGES, but they would have to prove such. But there is no US Court (not even the US Supreme Court) that has jurisdiction over internet domain names.

I had a client who was sent a similar "demand" letter because their domain started with "it4" and the "demander" owned the domain it4.com... we told them "tough titties... US courts have no jurisdiction, and unless you can show actual harm, you got nothing... but we also offered to SELL them the domain name for $250,000 - which was declined.
