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

@bi4smooth

Biden has fucked up everything, yet you have only made a few throw-away comments about general things going on.

Liberals constantly made threads about everything MSM told them about Trump, criticizing him, but haven't made any threads doing the same about Biden.

As I already said, you may be doing it in Shifty Schiff's secret bunker hearings, but you ain't doing it here.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the MSM has been criticizing Biden pretty harshly lately (nice, ain't it!) - but here's the thing: when 1/3 of your day is spent trying to make headlines that day, you get a LOT of attention! That was Trump!

Yes, there are days that Biden doesn't get covered (good or bad) in the MSM. Trump would have been FURIOUS if the MSM had let a day go by without HIM leading the nightly newscast! Biden doesn't care (and for AT LEAST that part of his Presidency, I am thankful).

I think you need to stop thinking Biden is Trump in Liberal clothing!

Rather than worrying about how the media is (or isn't) covering Biden, why not worry about getting Conservative Republican candidates to run NON-TRUMPITE campaigns and regain some of of the national power we LOST at the hands of Trump!

The US has lost 700,000+ to COVID-19... of the last 100,000 to die, 85,000 of them have been the kind of people who vote RED - who BLEED RED POLITICS!

Those votes are GONE. We're not getting the young voters (at least not in large numbers), who are largely apathetic anyway... No, those 85K+ voters will be HARD to replace... and we're still losing MORE - at a rate 11X higher than the "typical" liberal!

GET THE FUCKING SHOTS!
IT WORKS!
IT'S NOT DANGEROUS!
STOP DYING OF COVID-19!
WE NEED YOUR VOTES!

Thanks for the reply!

It might have started then, I am not sure.

There is no easier way of fixing this then re-installing Windows?

Not sure I can follow the other stuff...

You can disable the SSL checking...

NOTE: Even if you re-install Windows, whether that would fix you might well depend on WHICH version of Windows you re-install with! (Reinstall with 1909 and you LIKELY would have the same issue!)

Maybe call a computer repair shop around you and get online help? (Make sure they know what the issue is before you let them try to fix it!)

@dknowles3us said in Unable to upload or download:

Hello,

All of a sudden, starting on Sunday (I believe) I cannot download or upload anything.

The torrents just sit at 0% and says "Downloading from 0 peers"

I have used Transmission for years and I have tried qBittorrent as well with no change.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Are you sure it didn't start Friday?
There is an issue - not with the site, but with many versions of Windows and MacOS - that have been installed for a while and have an OLD copy of a CA (top-level) certificate that has now expired.

Read more HERE and HERE and some people think THIS ONE helps too.

To be clear about a couple of things:

• This is not a certificate error, this is a CA (Certificate Authority) expiration
• The issue is caused - in this case, at least partially - by a practice known as cross-signing... something DESIGNED to increase the likelihood that good certs will be trusted... but in this case, that approach has back-fired.
• The fix happens on YOUR END (the client-end), not the server end.

Depending on your client, you can disable SSL certificate validation (risky), or do the homework (see links above) and fix your rig. (You could also use the sledgehammer approach and re-image your system with the latest release of Windows, MacOS, or Linux! New, updated versions do not include the expired CA Cert)

Finally, this has been happening of-late because CA (Trusted Store) certs are usually issued with 10 or 20 year expirations... and, well, they're expiring!

I am totally with you on the obsession with cum shot "locations"... WHAT TOP chooses to pull out, and spin the bottom around sou can give him a facial - often one that's more like an "ear-full" ... geeze people (directors) - porn is FANTASY! Who fantasizes about "finishing off" a great fuck with a jerk-off and a facial? (Maybe the tops are just SO BAD they can't cum from anal sex? And they NEED the scene cut?)

But ESPECIALLY with you on mislabeled content:

• Breeding means cumming INSIDE an ass - not ON, OUTSIDE, or NEAR the ass, and DEFINITELY not pulling out and giving the grimacing bottom a facial he's clearly NOT wanting!
• Creampie means cumming ON his ass, then shoving his cock BACK inside him... NOT cumming on his ass and then heading off to the showers!
• flip-flop does NOT mean the bottom takes a dick on his back and stomach! It means both guys top and both guys bottom, dammit-to-hell!

@martin526 said in I want to have sex with all men I’m attracted to:

Anytime I meet a meet another gay man I’m attracted to, I instantly want to fuck them. It’s hard to have friendships with gay men, because I want to have sex with each one I come across.

Whenever I hang out with another gay male, especially if they’re attractive, I can’t help but feel a sexual tension, and sometimes, it feels like they feel the same.

There’s certain actions, the ways we look at each other, it feels like our eyes are screaming rip my clothes off grab my neck and kiss me.

I would love to have more friendships based off common interests, but the common interests make me feel even closer to them, and then I want to have sex with them.

Does anyone else have trouble like this with their male friendships?

There is a difference between "attraction," "desire," and "action."

I am attracted to a LOT of men... that attraction translates into DESIRE in some of them (that is, I might actually DO something to meet or converse with them)... and sometimes I'm luck enough that the desire turns to ACTION.

If I am single (and I am currently), or I'm otherwise NOT in a monogamous relationship, the number of guys I sleep with is purely a personal choice. These are the days of online hookups after all! Never let someone shame you with words like "slut" just because you get more sex than they do! Consenting adults can fuck whomever and as often as they like! We are PROGRAMMED (genetically) to like sex - without that programming, we would have been an extinct species a LONG LONG time ago!

However, when there IS a relationship in play, my desires should NEVER turn to action - out of respect for my partner (and myself). I can control my desires (to a point - I have been seduced before!), and if I lose that control (say, I'm too drunk to stop myself) I usually regret it.

Still, if you cannot control your desires, you may need counseling. There is nothing wrong with needing or seeking counseling (I have found it extremely helpful at various times in my life!)

FWIW - I'm "easy" when I'm single... I've had sex with 4 different guys (not an orgy - separate "encounters") in a 24-hour period before! But that is a rarity... these days (COVID days) I'm lucky to get laid more than 3-4 times a month. (Oh the pain, says Dr. Smith! )

But I think your question ALSO goes to mixing friendship with sexual activity. And that can be a tricky thing... BUT, in my experience, so long as you discuss and agree on the "limits", there shouldn't be problems (though there always will be - as with any friendship). What kind of discussion?

• Will this be a one-time thing? Or are we gonna be FWB?
• If we do this, are we gonna still just be friends, or will we be lovers? If "just friends", are we both clear we're not looking to BECOME "lovers"? Or are one or both of us open to this growing into more?

You get the idea... TALK about it! (My current "candidate" for a boyfriend needs to be trained to talk about HIS wants and needs... he keeps it all bottled up inside him... I'm not clairvoyant (not even in drag!)... he's gotta tell me what works best for him and what doesn't! LOL

Communication is REQUIRED for good sex AND for good friends! Why wouldn't it ALSO be needed for a good FWB?

@freddie7 said in why can't i send messages?:

not on the forum, on the site.

I'll have to look for it, but "newbies" have limits on PM messaging. The rule was created some time back because people were creating fake accounts to harass people with PMs.

Maybe someone else can find the actual rule?

@kinkyguy666 said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

@massafera
This really makes me wonder why my post has been deleted too!
I am new to the site, but not new to torrenting as I am a member for over 10 years of another gay torrenting site. My first post got deleted without any reason. I just needed help asking about a message that the trackers section is showing me. Instead, my message without any clear reason was deleted by a moderator!

Now I see that they are taking down torrents too. So I guess after all this is not the friendly place that I thought it will be. If I had a problem on the other gay torrent site, my problem would have been assisted and resolved by now. Such a shame!

In MOST cases (that is: in my experience) when a torrent has been taken down I have received a note. (Duplicate, DMCA, or whatever)

@mymy2010 said in Tracker: [Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates]:

i found the solution:

add the following line into .rtorrent.rc file.
network.http.ssl_verify_peer.set=0

after saving the file, restart rtorrent service

So you know: the SSL issue is Internet-wide and is caused by the expiration of an older CA (Certificate Authority) cert. It's exacerbated by some cross-signing of other CA and ICA (intermediate certificate authority) certs, but generally one VERY OLD CA cert expired and it's having unintended effects widely!

But the answer is to fix your Windows (or Mac)... your torrent client lets your OS "trust" (or not) the SSL certs... if your Windows (or Mac or Linux or phone!) trusted CA certs are out-of-date, you're getting these kinds of errors. Fix the "Trusted Store" in your OS, then reboot (it mostly only reads the Trusted Store at boot time so you need to reboot to "reload" them...

Disabling the SSL checking will work - but it also opens you up to malicious attacks through your torrent client. Low risk, perhaps - but a risk. Once you fix your SSL Trusted Store, turn the checking back on in your client!

@mansen said in Torrent server down?:

@bi4smooth I'm on a Mac and use Transmission. I'm not abandoning it, but it's not working currently and I don't know how to get it up and running. The app is too widely used for this problem not to get fixed at some point -- but I don't know how to do it (it's likely not too hard, you just have to know how to manipulate SSL conditions within which it operates).

So meanwhile, I'll use qBittorent for a while. I like a lot of what it offers but it looks like Windows software and not an elegant Mac app, which Transmission most certainly is. qBt is def more powerful but Transmission is simple, attractive and gets the job done. Usually...

When Transmission is operational again, I'll switch back. With fond sentiments towards qBt which is an excellent client.

Glad to hear you love your Transmission... far be it from me to tell ANYONE what client to use! Indeed, my post was trying to say "NOT SO FAST"

FWIW: I like qBitTorrent because I can use it on my PC, my Mac, and my Linux - all with mostly the same look/feel. LOL Exactly what you dislike about it! Different strokes! Viva la Difference! (Anglicized, yes)

If you look hard in the Transmission settings, you SHOULD find an SSL (or rather, an ignore SSL errors) setting. My Mac is broken right now, so I can't give you point and click instructions, but I'm confident it is there.

Finally, as @raphjd said above, the tracker issue is an SSL problem - unrelated to the Forum's "self-correcting bounce" (my term)... but the SSL issue is NOT solely related to this site or the LetsEncrypt SSL distributor/issuer... the CA (Certificate Authority) certificates are issued (unlike your own SSL cert) for YEARS! Decades, even!

This is going to be a problem for a LOT of early IoT devices - some of whom simply cannot be updated easily (if at all).

In the meantime, check out this Apple site - I didn't read deeply into it (I didn't follow the links - and with my Mac being down, I can't check out its veracity), but it purports to allow you to update the CA Store on your Apple devices...

@dontforgethe said in Is upload counted from an android phone:

@bi4smooth haha i guessed bittorrent but im really not clued up on torrents at all

Ok ok... so in general, you cannot seed a torrent from anything other than a desktop-style client. Web-based (browser plugins) torrent CLIENTS are just that: clients (download) only! Browsers can't just SEND data off of your computer to anyone who asks for it! (If so, please send my your account names and passwords?)... browsers are designed to send a little, download a lot! not the other way around.... same for phones and tablets.... there's not a lot of storage there, so send a little, take a lot - but mostly to show on the screen, not store!

There ARE exceptions - there are things called "seed-bots" and other cloud-based "incantations" that will also work... but in general, for the hardware you likely have at home, you need to run a full-blown torrent app (like qBitTorrent or uTorrent) to be able to successfully download (leech) AND upload (seed)!

@mansen said in Torrent server down?:

@vatdweller Yes, I've been using Transmission. I'll try the other. That is ... very weird. Why would this happen?

Before you start throwing your client "under the bus", please note that a LOT of sites on the Internet are being affected by a CA cert expiration at one of the largest SSL certificate providers. It's not that it wasn't planned for, just that a lot of Windows systems didn't get the update!

Not to get too technical, but that's a parent of a parent of the SSL cert (and there MAY be additional levels!) expiring... making a LOT of things on the Internet that depend on SSL for security to fail.

Read more HERE.

Some torrent clients will "fail" if the SSL cert isn't authentic, others will ignore (qBittorrent has a switch)...

Fix your Windows before you DITCH a perfectly good torrent client!

NOTE: The SAME condition exists on MACs, Linux systems, even cloud systems! The issue is in the SSL infrastructure, NOT in the OS itself!

@dontforgethe said in Is upload counted from an android phone:

Just wondering if upload is registered if seeding torrents from an android phone

I'd love to see the app on the Android phone (or any Android device) that will SEED a torrent file. I've seen them that will SNATCH (download) a file from a torrent site (e.g. from multiple sources via torrenting), but NEVER have I seen one that will SEED!

Could you post the name of the app? I know others who would love to look it over!

JUST A GUESS - but based on the times listed in the torrents posted, I'd hazard a guess that the system is on UTC.

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

idk, I uploaded a few onlyfans content packs on a PUBLIC gay tracker and they were wildly popular and havent been taken down for weeks. Surprising me theyre being taken down here

The fact is, when a DMCA request is made, it has to be taken down... if you post them where there are LOTS of OTHER OF posts, yeah, they're going to get noticed more!

It seems to me, OF is targeting us for the same reason Jesse James once said he robbed banks (that's where they keep the money!)...

In other words - they're targeting us because there is SO MUCH content here...

But guys, remember that OF is there for the MODELS to MAKE MONEY... sharing it here is NOT making them any money...

I'm all for sharing porn - but I'm also all for these models making a fair amount of money for their efforts... those two things are in conflict here, and the DMCA comes down in favor of the models...

@raphjd said in UK Labour MP threatens to "revenge porn" a woman:

@bi4smooth

Feminists and their simps are not sane.

Revenge porn happens against men too, but the law is written in a gendered manner, as are many non-gendered issues.

Maybe the law in the UK....

@mkpacman71 said in Just joined and need to up my ratio:

@chubbytossbm Also - don't forget to vote on categories for your downloaded torrents. You get points that can be turned in to increase your ratio

LOTS of things you do can earn you Seed Bonus Points (SBP) -- like just SEEDING torrents!.... Plus, don't forget about the First Time Uploader's bonus - 600 SBP can be turned in for 10GB upload credit!

@kuroanagi said in Torrent server down?:

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.

https://vote-watch.com/2021/09/27/labour-mp-claudia-webbe-threatened-to-send-naked-photos-to-children-court-hears/

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!
