    • RE: Quick questions about uTorrent

      @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...

      @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! 🙂

    • RE: Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?

      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!

    • RE: Where are the Biden supporters?!

      @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?

      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.

      @lololulu19 said in O Solo Mio!:

      There seems to be a flood of SOLO videos lately, relative to the number of duo videos. Honestly, I don't like videos with more than 2 guys on camera at once, because it is difficult to capture the "chemistry" between two guys when there are more than two guys engaged in sex at once. If someone has a cock up their ass, they need to be 100% focused on that, and not on the cock in their mouth.
      I have written to "Dear Abby" about this, but I haven't got a reply.
      I have very little interest in solo videos.

      We all have our likes and dislikes... I personally detest the "pull out of a perfectly sweet ass and cum on his face" scenes (for which there appears to be a fetish, or some otherwise unfathomable (to me) preference). IMHO, if you're fucking, cum on or in the butt (or very nearby!) - If you're sucking, cum on or in the mouth (or very nearby!)...

      I also find it VERY disappointing when both boys don't get off, and VERY exciting when one or both get off multiple times! (One of my FAV scenes is a dude (Ashton Taylor) doing one of his FIRST BSB videos... he pulls out, cums all over the bottom's back (clearly an accidental cum shot), then plows right back into him... a few minutes later, he flips him... the bottom cums, then Ashton cums again too! If you like multi-orgasmic guys, Sean Cody's Jess is a veritable cum FOUNTAIN!)

      An argument could be made for allowing exclusions from your feed beyond just Str8 and Scat... in which case, you'll be in a better position than me: there are separate categories for oral vs anal/bareback... no such categories about WHERE they cum!

      I think this MAY be possible already with your personal settings? You should look into it!

      The site is acting up again - no edit capability 😞
      I meant to say there are separate categories for SOLO vs. anal/bareback...

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

      Literally every single torrent is being deleted for the past week, every single one. Admins should be transparent and tell us why this is happening. It's only fair with users! Why would we waste our time uploading huge files and trying to download something if it's just going to be removed in a few hours?

      What is happening? Can someone PLEASE explain?

      It sounds like a DMCA "sweep"

      My understanding of OnlyFans is that THEY claim copyright ownership of the material on their site (apparently in conjunction with the artists? I don't see how that would work...)

      So, if that's true, my guess is that OF has some way of accessing this site and they're DMCA'ing the OF content.

      Any other explanation, gentle readers?

    • RE: What is the best, and cheapest, VPN for torrenting on Mac?

      @magentas said in What is the best, and cheapest, VPN for torrenting on Mac?:

      @bi4smooth VPNs are both a technology and an application. Many of them do not work on Mac.

      Yes, VPN is a networking technology - but there is no app called simply "VPN"... there are vendors who offer applications that implement VPN technology... MOST of them support MacOS. (For example, NordVPN has an app that you install on your Mac to connect to one their VPN servers around the world and tunnel your Internet traffic through THEIR servers - privately, so others cannot track what you do on the Internet, except that you connect to those VPN servers!)

      The analogy might be that Linux, Windows and MacOS are implementations of an OPERATING SYSTEM... Operating system being a technology, and the named products (Linux,Windows, MacOS) being mere implementations of that technology.

      It is also possible to buy a BOX that can implement a VPN (usually tied into a router capability), and that is completely OS agnostic! (I don't recommend them - they really have a different purpose than what we're talking about a VPN for use on GT.ru would be...)

      The VPN I personally recommended (NordVPN, see above) works quite well on a Mac - even REALLY old ones! Download the software and check it out! It also works quite well in Linux! (I use all 3 platforms myself... I work in IT professionally, don't ya know...)

    • RE: MAKE THE UPLOADS A LOT EASIER????

      @makigott said in MAKE THE UPLOADS A LOT EASIER????:

      I have been seeing a trend some of the great uploads here aren't so successful with fully making their content available for anyone to download I talked to a few of them and basically the problem persist that the process of uploading are actually sooooo hard and complicated for both windows and mac users! huhuhu quite a pity that the uploaders tend to delete their upload coz more often than not right after it appeared on this site it is already labelled as dead :((( can anyone develop a far easier approach to uploading torrents hehe coz to be honest still I find it hard to follow thru as the content wont attached to the torrent link on this website!

      So the issue you're describing is typically one I've seen only with NEW uploaders... because they expect to see instant results... if you want instant results, be prepared to pay a MONTHLY FEE to use the site, as the server requirements would be MUCH higher - and just really how lame is it to complain about how fast your FREE PORN site is at responding to your changes! LOL

      The issue is this:

      • You have to create a .torrent file that "contains" (really, more like "describes") your content - but THAT .torrent file cannot work on this tracker - because this is NOT a public tracker, it is PRIVATE...
      • When you upload your homemade .torrent file to the system, the page is made (created) almost instantly - but because it's created with a modified (aka: DIFFERENT) .torrent file (made with the private tracker information), there are no seeders (and, unsurprisingly, no leechers)... and this meets the very definition of being a DEAD torrent.
      • What is needed is for there to be a SEEDER - someone with the tracker's version of the .torrent file.
      • That someone is YOU, the uploader! IF (and ONLY IF) you follow the upload procedures, you will DOWNLOAD the new (tracker's version) .torrent file and ADD that torrent to your client (making sure you point it to the actual files you used when you created YOUR torrent file).
      • Your client will need to VALIDATE (aka: check) the torrent's description of contents with the data on your disk - and while it does that, it cannot SEED - so the site STILL shows the torrent as DEAD (and not visible)...
      • EVENTUALLY (dependent on how long it took you to download the NEW .torrent file and add it to your client - and how long it takes to validate it), your client will begin to SEED the torrent... at which point, the tracker will change the status to LIVE (aka: not-dead)...

      But yes, for that period of time from when you click "Do it" and upload your torrent, until that time that you validate it with the private tracker information, the torrent is technically DEAD... although, in reality it's still UNBORN 🙂

      Again, most people who have been using private trackers for a while understand this process (and why it works that way)... those who are newer to the idea (and especially those who seem to think that you've magically uploaded your 100GB torrent, in its entirety, to the server in the 5 seconds it took to upload the .torrent file) often require an adjustment to their expectations...

      A final note in reference to that last comment:

      • You do NOT download porn from this site - you download file descriptors from this site - descriptors of files that exist on the systems of the multitude of other users of the site.
      • The tracker does not have torrent contents on it - not even for a moment! The tracker maintains the copy of the descriptor (the tiny little .torrent file), AND keeps track of WHICH users HAVE the contents, and which users WANT the contents - putting them together so that THEY can share their data...
      • ALL of the data parts of the file are transferred BETWEEN USERS, and not "via" the tracker.

      Even before #senilejoe stole the election, Joe was given a free pass in that he barely ever went on the campaign trail, and when you did see him, it was typically in the basement of his home reading off of a teleprompter.

      That sound like sour-grapes, if you ask me... especially the snide remark about "stole the election"... you need to find a pair of big-boy-pants and grow a pair! Whether Trump woulda, shoulda, or coulda won the 2020 election, its a historical fact now... and until the election cycle in 2024 occurs, the ONLY successor to Biden will be Harris... and if that's what you want, then you're not only childish and delusional, you're spiteful even to your own detriment! (e.g.: your "cure" - Harris as President instead of Biden - is far worse than the disease! You want a SCARY Dem in the Oval Office, you could scarcely find a MORE scary one than THAT lady!)

      Plus, if you think that Joe Biden ever had (or could have) the kind of rabid support Donald Trump had (and still has), you're delusional. Trump is a polarizing politician, and an autocrat: he permits no dissension within his Republican Party!

      It's comparatively easy for Dems to say they support one thing about Biden and not other things... Further, they have no compulsion to defend him (as evidenced by their complete willingness to call him out when his administration "steps on it's own dick" ala these latest border incidents: HORSES? Really?)

      I've said it before... Biden did not WIN the US Presidency because he had more supporters... Trump LOST the US Presidency because he had more detractors!

      Trumps domestic policy (other than the fascist parts) were solid... his foreign policy was churlish - nearly childish in his not understanding of other cultures, but he wasn't DANGEROUS "out there"... his problem was that he insisted anyone who disagreed with him and spoke their mind was "disloyal" and that doing so was downright "treasonous" - which meant that EVEN the people (count me in this group) who supported many of his policies - but not ALL of them - were pushed out and pushed TOWARDS voting for "the other guy" - and it really didn't matter much WHO "the other guy" was, so long as it wasn't a DANGEROUS AUTOCRAT & FASCIST!

      If you want Biden to have supporters like Trump's supporters, you'll have a long time searching thru THAT empty rabbit-hole!

      For now, we need to hold the line on these huge spending programs (tho we also need to stop threatening to slash our own throats - and just pass the debt ceiling bill!) and stop as much of this liberal shopping spree as we can until we take control of Congress again in 2023 (when the 2022 winners take office)... Then Biden can start his "lame duckery" early, and we can keep him (and his Dem counterparts) at bay until 2024...

      But part of that is that we need to make sure the Republican Party isn't a "Trump Only" party... because if we devolve to that, we'll lose... if not in 2022, certainly in 2024! Then we'll be in a HUGE mess! I don't even want to think about it... we need good, CONSERVATIVE (but not Trumpite) candidates to WIN in 2022!

      VPN is a networking technology, not an application. Virtually ANY of the common VPNs will work on a Mac.

      I personally use NordVPN - because they allow for P2P, because they have to many servers, because they don't log, and because they're relatively cheap.

      Others will likely have their own choices... if you're reading this, use a VPN, and have an alternative provider you like better - chime in! (I chose NordVPN 5+ years ago and have just renewed it... maybe there's a better option today?)

      @bi4smooth

      I'm sick of hearing about how victimized women are from body shaming when they do it to themselves and they do it to men.

      There you go, reading into things again - You're isolating the "body shaming" as-if it was only being argued that "body shaming from men" was bad... no such specification was made or implied.

      Body shaming is cruel and wrong. Regardless of the source!

      And the same is true for body shaming of men! I've heard far more MEN talk about "the fat guy" or "the guy with the micro-penis" or "the guy with 2 beer-bellies" or "chrome dome" or .... the list goes on and on... guys are far harder on guys than the women are!

      ESPECIALLY IN THE GAY COMMUNITY!

      Instagram is full of women using "face tune" and other techniques to alter their appearances. InformationOverload on YouTube and various websites out these people for doing it. They created an impossible version of beauty.

      This is indeed an area where Social Media has been harmful to society - especially they way "mean girls" (or "mean guys") can hide behind anonymity for the most cruel and harmful posts/comments!

      2 ad posters right next to each other and only 1 is banned. That is because WAHmen are victims and men don't matter. A woman in a bikini vs David Gandy in a Speedo, but only one is body shaming.

      I don't know the specifics of what you're referring to, but here in the States there are some States and Cities where advertising using photoshopped models is forbidden.

      That is: the girl in the bikini can be beautiful but you can't have photoshopped her hips and breasts and still use it in the advertising! She has to be her REAL self! You can remove a blemish, or a stray hair - but you cannot alter the models "appearance".

      The same (in the States, anyway) goes for men - you can't photoshop in an 8-pack of abs, or grow his bulge in the speedos... you can't even photoshop out his chest hair (tho he can shave prior to the shoot)...

      Even during gamer-gate, it was shown that most targeted harassment toward women was by other women. A very recent study showed the same thing. Women are evil to other women and to men.

      You are awfully harsh on women... men are awful TOO! As you noted above, and I agree with: women are harder on other women than they are on men, and men are harder on other men than they are on women... but harder (aka: crueler) is not the same as being KIND to the others!

      It's worth saying again:

      Body shaming is cruel and wrong. Regardless of the source!

      There is no such thing as "healthy at any size" for men or "lovely and curvy" for men.

      There is no such thing as "healthy at any size" for women either... but that's a MEDICAL issue! (hence the word: healthy) Thus, it should be a private matter between a man (or woman) and their physician.

      The 80/20 rule is that 80% of women are deemed attractive but only 20% of men are deemed attractive.

      Hmmm... I don't know what to say to that... I'm often told I'm attractive, and I'm about 30 lbs overweight and have a bald head...

      I can't (and don't pretend to) speak for others... but I've been body-shamed for my weight and my hair loss... and I've also been complimented on both! I have outgrown the need to have anyone else's approval of my looks... the parts of my looks (my extra weight, for example) that I can change, I am working to change (albeit slowly - it's hard to lose weight at 57!)... the things I cannot change, I don't worry about...

      But I'm not a teenage boy (or girl) trying to come to terms with my body- and self-image! That's where the real damage is done! The body-shaming of people - especially children - who aren't emotionally prepared for the cruelty of the anonymous world.

      I go back to the statement above: "This is indeed an area where Social Media has been harmful to society - especially they way "mean girls" (or "mean guys") can hide behind anonymity for the most cruel and harmful posts/comments!"
