@raphjd said in Breonna Taylor's mom calls BLM a fraud:
The bible is fake, so your point is moot on that.
BLM isn't about societal changes, they are about rioting, looting, and profiteering. Their entire agenda is based on lies.
Right - and QAnon and Trump-the-dump are known for their ability to tell-the-truth.... (John Lovett inpression on:) Yeah! That's the ticket!
People in glass houses...
@lololulu19 said in Invalid Characters imported from GTRUORG:
I've had a couple of nasty encounters with INVALID CHARACTERS in files grabbed from GTRUORG which corrupt QTM torrents.
I suggest removing all : and " but in this case, the problem was characters that LOOKED like a - but were not.See the two PINK bits.. which resemble a _ but are not
In the list.txt file I created.. they look like this..
HelixStudios - Beach Bums 8 - Wingman - Dawson Grant and Austin Lovett - 720p.mp4
HelixStudios - Beach Bums 6 - Drawing Him In - Travis Stevens & Chase Williams - 720p.mp4.mp4Someone on that other site SEEMS to have intentionally used invalid characters to mimic valid ones.
There is nothing nefarious here - there are 3 kinds of "dash" character in the full, extended ASCII English character set: a "full dash" and "M-dash" and an "N-dash" - and they are each of varying lengths.
In windows, the only real "dash" (on the keyboard) is actually an "N-Dash" (the shortest of the 3) ... other OS's (like MacOS, Linux, and others) aren't so choosy and allow any of them - but, in spite of looking quite similar, they are separate and distinct characters.
The fix is quite easy: right click on the files your client couldn't create and rename the files. To make sure there are no special characters, type in the full name right off of your keyboard.
Good Luck!
@raphjd said in Argentinian pro-abortion leader dies during abortion procedure:
The irony.
Not even close to the irony of the anti-gay congressional crusader being caught with a gay-male prostitute, or the Right-to-Lifer who dies during an abortion procedure... and I didn't even have to leave the SE US to get those examples! LOL
@raphjd said in Ithica NY appoints cop killer to "police reform board":
https://nypost.com/2021/03/29/nyc-cop-killer-now-helping-to-reform-the-police/
On 12 Jan 1981, Richard Rivera killed an off-duty cop, Robert Walsh, execution-style in NYC.
Yup - bastard should NEVER be allowed to lead any kind of productive life!
FUCK whatever he's done in the past 40 years (I don't have any idea!) That one thing he did 40 years ago should define everything else for the rest of his life!
sigh... sadness....
Hmmm... let's see... how often are the families of "martyrs" consulted?
The Gospels are FULL of Mary's input on the formation of the Christian church after the crucifixion of her son (you remember him, no? Jesus?)... yeah, right .. no!
The Southern Baptist Church REGULARLY sought out the guidance of the widow of MLK, Jr after his assassination!.... ummm no!
The country turned immediately to Jackie Kennedy for moral guidance after the death of her husband (President Kennedy), and she was.... um, no she was all-but-forgotten...
Oh, and the media TODAY are constantly interviewing the family of George Floyd for guidance on how to cover his death... why, I just saw them on.... um, no... never, not once!
So, yeah, sure! This is a rare event... NOT!
The movements that want to make societal changes "on the backs" of a martyr don't EVER look to the families directly. The treatment Coretta Scott King got from the Southern Baptists is - by far - the best you can expect. She never had a true leadership role, nor any real voice, but she was often paraded in front of crowds as MLK's widow to great effect!
@zeuri92 said in Is anyone on PrEP? Any side effects?:
@monty how was your gastric effect? I changed my prep brand and I have Diarrhea for 3 weeks now.
I've been on the original Truvada PrEP since 2015... no side effects, ever.
I've been offered some of the newer ones - I've asked my Dr.: Are the newer ones better? (no), safer? (unknown), cheaper? (not for me - my insurance pays 100% of it either way). So, if there's no REAL benefit, why would I risk changing?
That's my experience - with my Dr. Your mileage may vary.
So, one of the problems with forwarding ports through your router, and seeding "fro home" is that your ISP will sometimes realize you're torrenting on a particular port, and block it. The thing is, often they'll block it ONLY for specific IPs (the trackers).
Now, for "public" torrents, this isn't a problem - people from other trackers will find you! But on PRIVATE torrents, this is a fatal block.
The fix (you say you're using qBittorrent) is to change your port (Options -> Connection -> Listening Port -> click Random to change it!)
Now a couple of things here:
More importantly, this can also be alleviated by using a "smart" VPN. (no, those are not free - but they do prevent your ISP from spying on you, as well as making your torrenting more stable -- assuming you pick the right one!)
I really liked this movie. I think the winds are changing but it paints a real scenario. Really well done!
I haven't seem this particular film yet, but in fact many people who suppress their homosexual feelings until they just can't any longer find themselves in crisis.
And, sadly, the Gay Community usually offers little support, other than to say "Be out! Be Proud!" - but really, how can they be proud about having lied - to themselves, much less anyone else - for so long.
IMHO, no amount of societal reform will erase the shame and guilt that these people face and feel when they realize how they've been "programmed" by society in ways that run counter to their natural ways.
Long story short: things are FAR EASIER today for young people, emerging from puberty, and aware that they are gay (or even trans!). But they aren't THAT MUCH easier for the 40 y/o father (or mother) of 4 who finally realizes that his (or her) entire adult life has been an emotional and sexual lie!
@jeffl said in Qbittorrent is now better than Utorrent:
@bi4smooth Thanks for taking the time to make a response, unfortunately the "Set Location" in qBitorrent is not what relocate in uTorrent is. uT allows relocating and renaming the individual files, within a torrent, not moving the whole torrent.
To use Relocate in uT, one right-clicks on the individual files (you can do one file, or multiple), choose Relocate, and then you can move it to any drive, and rename it to whatever you want. After that's done, the local uT database maintains the new location of the file(s) as a layer of abstraction, and the torrent remains unchanged. So I can move and rename a file within a torrent to my own preferences, instead of the original torrent creator's, and still continue seeding. Which is why I still have torrents seeding that are 10+ years old, and when you've made extensive use of the feature, you kinda get stuck because unravelling it all would take hundreds of hours.
If you're interested in more details, the abovementioned GitHub issue explains it detail, as well as the various workarounds, and explains why the issue is still open after eight years. To the best of my knowledge, no other client at present has this capability.
So, to be clear:
To be honest, in part 3 above, you're asking for the amount of metadata to be stored about each client to be increased by an order of magnitude...
I think you summed that up, albeit as an aside, in your response above:
There is no such database in qBitTorrent. The only "listing" in the client is the list of torrents, and the "pointer" to where it is on the filesystem. (Remember, when you rename a folder or file in qBitTorrent - you also modify the name on the storage location [filesystem]... and, quite honestly, that's the way I would want it).
But, to be honest, as a software developer myself: I don't think you'll see that (implementing a database to track each element of each torrent) in any other client... and if you want that much "power and control" over each element in each torrent, then quite honestly, you should PAY for the full uTorrent client IMHO!
Let's not forget we're asking for, and getting, FREE software!
What you want to see in a VPN provider is:
how to stay anonymous:
To what some people are claiming about ports and open/forwarding: if you use an advanced server that actually overtly supports p2p (like NordVPN), you don't need to worry about this... they can see the port you advertise in your client, and they will forward it over your VPN link (and yes, that means you DO NOT need to open the port on your local router!)
So I have to post about this - because, contrary to your proposition that if the races were reversed, that the media would have covered it more, I can tell you that this happens far too often - regardless of the races involved, and the media coverage is poor regardless.
... and it NEVER gets the attention that it deserves! And I am sometimes literally brought to tears to hear the stories of some of these poor children... 
You see.... I am an adoptive parent (I adopted 7 - yes, you read that right, SEVEN) children from foster care... and as a result, I served for nearly 20 years on the board of our local foster parents association. I actually have known "offenders" - and their victims - before this kind of tragic event occurred. It never ceases to break my heart to hear just how badly these adults have failed the little children ... these adults weren't coerced or forced to adopt - they volunteered! and then to fail these kids so badly!
There is a new circle of hell for these people... end even that isn't bad enough!
But to the point of your note: these stories are always buried. As a society, we don't like to be reminded of how poorly we treat our "indigent" children.
@jeffl said in Qbittorrent is now better than Utorrent:
Glad to hear that the client is improving. What has always stopped me from using qBitorrent is the lack of the relocate feature that uTorrent has. I have moved and renamed the majority of most seeded torrents, and there isn't enough value in trying to workaround that when uT still works.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, this has been discussed on GitHub for 8+ years. Hopefully one day the feature gets picked up by someone
.
qBitTorrent has the option to "set location" on any torrent... It can be a little "buggy" if you've changed the file locations "under the covers" - but if you let it do the work, I've even relocated torrents of 50+GB successfully!
There (sadly) isn't a consistent use of terms across clients... That makes helping people really hard sometimes! 
Still, while the "stalled" label has a negative connotation that utorrent's "idle" does not have, the "stalled" status is for a file that's still downloading, but there are no seeders currently available... to me, that IS a negative condition LOL.
However, when a file is "finished" in qBitTottent its status becomes either "Seeding" or "Completed" - and those make sense to me...
I will repeat: the biggest reason that I, personally, use qBitTorrent is because it's the same on Windows, MacOS, and Linux! For someone (like me) who works on all platforms, that's a really nice thing to have LOL!
Sorry for my delay, but I had something come up and I haven't been online for a while...
So if I'm hearing you right (and that's a stretch LOL), you're not getting me... so, I'm going to provide more detail in the hopes that that you might understand. If I'm wrong, then no real harm - I just wasted a lot of time typing!
===
So, you create your .torrent file in uTorrent... I'll call it a.torrent (original, no?)... and because you followed directions, you listed the tracker within uTorrent as http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/announce.
What you probably don't know, is that that URL doesn't actually work! That's actually a string that the tracker software replaces to ensure that your torrent is tracked to your account. This is because this is a PRIVATE torrent tracker! We don't accept torrents from anyone but our members! It is also needed to help manage your upload/download numbers.
So - back to your upload... you have uploaded your "won't-work-like-that" a.torrent file to the tracker... and, along with the other things you included on the upload page, it created a whole web page, just for your torrent! Just one thing though: the a.torrent file you download from that web page IS NOT the same a.torrent file that you uploaded! It's been changed: the tracker entry now is unique to your account (and it will actually work!).
So here we are now: your uTorrent program has your a.torrent "seeding" to a non-existent tracker, nand GT.ru has an a.torrent with no seeders! (If we leave it like this, you get mad because your torrent doesn't seed, and GT.ru staff get mad because your upload has no seeder!)
The fix is the oft-overlooked last step: you need to "scape" your new torrent!
"Scraping" is when you download a torrent for content you already have, generally so that you can begin to seed it immediately (you don't need to download it - you already have it!).
NOTE: This is ALSO how you re-seed a torrent you previously downloaded!
So, when you finished uploading your a.torrent file and page to GT.ru, it took you immediately to that new page - and TOLD YOU that you needed to re-download your torrent! (Technically, as I showed above, you need to scrape your torrent - with the NEW a.torrent file!)
BUT! Before you do! Since you're using uTorrent, you very well MAY ALREADY HAVE a.torrent in your client... seeding with that bogus tracker URL! You need to delete this one (but do NOT delete the content!), and replace it with the one from the new page on GT.ru!
ALSO: When you scrape your new a.torrent file, you will need to tell your uTorrent client WHERE the data file is stored on your computer. It may default to that location, but in most cases not. If you attempt to scrape your new torrent, and instead of "checking" your torrent, you attempt to "dowload" your torrent - then you specified the wrong location. (I do this more often than I care to admit! Just delete the torrent in your client and start the scrape again!)
So EVEN when things work, there may be some glitches... for example: often when I scrape a torrent (I use qBitTorrent, not uTorrent), it won't immediately seed... HOWEVER, if I then ask the client (qBitTorrent for me) to "recheck" the file, it seeds properly.
That's a LOT of detail.... I hope you found it useful
@shoffmanp said in Hello there!:
Hello! I'm Philip. I used to have an account on GT a long time ago but it was deleted. Now I have to start all over again. I remember the site had a straight section where I could find many hot chubby guys. I kinda miss it now! Whatever happened to it?
We still allow STR8 content... when you do a SEARCH for content, there are check-boxes that should include "Straight-Younger" and "Straight-Older"...
If you don't see these, look at your profile: there is an option to HIDE them, which may have been checked.
Good Luck!
@muscleslut3 said in downloads missing:
i just made an account here, but i can't figure out how to do anything - whenever i open the torrents tab, it just takes me back to the front page. tried on multiple browsers. any help?
When you click the torrents tab, you go to the homepage for the torrent "side" of the site (the Forum being the other "side")...
Once you're on the "torrent" side (URL is https://www/gaytorrent.ru, where the forum is https://community.gaytorrent.ru), you will then need to click on the Torrents drop-down at the top... most people choose the top: Search
From there, you'll see plenty of torrents to download.
Happy hunting!
@bradinyyz said in Not connecting to peers - qBittorrent for Mac:
I'm hoping for some help on what to do next in trying to fix this issue.
Issue: For new torrents that I am seeding on here, I can see peers as part of the swarm (the number in brackets), but they for the most part cannot connect to me (so the number before the bracket is 0). Eventually someone is able to find me and the uploading begins (but most peers still remain unconnected to me).
If it's working for some, then it's working. Your "offering" of the torrent you're seeding is along-side of multiple others. I don't know the method that clients use to "select" peers to connect to, but I suspect it includes ping times... and if that's the case, your going through a proxy will make your ping responses slow (or non-existent)... thus, some torrent clients may only be connecting to you "as a last resort" -- I don't know this for a fact, it's just conjecture... I don't write code for torrent clients!
Still, if it works for one, it works for others - you're just not getting many client connects (mind you, I also operate behind a VPN reverse-proxy, and I also have issues with "not seeding much" - but I've worked with other torrent sites on this: it does NOT appear to be an issue with the torrent server - I am listed! It's an issue with the client systems just not choosing to connect to my system out of the list of peers!
My set-up:
Running qBittorent 4.3.4.1 on Big Sur (11.2.3).
I also use qBittorrent - both Win and Linux versions... I'm a very happy camper and even donated some $$ to their cause!
On my router (Netgear), I have port forwarded the port in the 50,000 range to my computer. I also forwarded 1080 for the Proxy Server (I don't know if that was necessary or not)
Port 1080 is an outbound connection for you - you do not need the port forwarded on your router.
On CanYouSeeMe.org, when testing the port in the 50K range it gives an error with "Reason: Connection refused". Testing other ports gives the error "Reason: Connection timed out", which makes me think that the port is open fine on the router, but there's something on the Mac side that is causing the issue.
Your MAC also has a firewall built into it... I don't know the commands to fix that, but yes: you may be right there.
In Linux (a cousin to MacOS), there is an lsof command to see what ports are being listened on:
lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN
gives me a succinct list of the ports where someone/something is listening.
I'm certain there is an equivalent to the MAC, I just don't know it off the top of my head.
Good luck! I hope some part of this reply helps...
@raphjd said in Qbittorrent is now better than Utorrent:
I still use uTorrent 2.2.1 as that was the last version that was made without the tons of bloat uTorrent is now well known for. I love the features it has and the layout, but it is extremely old and doesn't handle RAM and CPU very well.
I guess I'll give QBitTorrent another try.
You won't like it - that's the client that I use!
All kidding aside, I prefer qBitTorrent because it runs on multiple platforms (Windows, MacOS, and Linux) in virtually identical ways on each. It also does everything I want it to - EXCEPT work with "Quick Torrent Maker" here ...
OK, pardon my saying so, but you're making a mountain out of a mole-hill here... this REALLY couldn't be simpler!
Thank you for providing link... let's start with the first one:
Gay Zombie (2007).mp4
For the sake of an example, let's make 2 assumptions:
The FAST answer to your question (no explanations) is this:
Let me know if you need a more detailed answer with more explanations... but this is exactly how you would download any other torrent - except for the step where you change the "Save At" folder!
@qvamp said in How do you re-connnect an old torrent?:
@bi4smooth I feel like you're making a statement to everyone else, but aren't helping me. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL CONTENT BECAUSE I UPLOADED IT! AndI have a lot more content too. For that I uploaded before I'd like to reconnect the original torrents both because people know they're there, and because people uploaded images and the like.
Also, the biggest problem you said I said here isn't anything I said. I do appreciate your help, really, but I'm pretty sure I'm in a less-common category than who you're speaking to.
If you want to, paste the link to the torrent you're trying to re-link to, I'll try to help you with specifics, vs. the "general case"...

I'm sorry if you think my caveats about still having the contents means I'm not replying to you, but I *am trying to help you. However, I've answered this question for others before - and have, in the past, had people get angry with me because it didn't work... which it will work - 100% of the time - IF all of the files are already there when you point your client to the existing files.
Mind you, I've also had cases where the filenames didn't quite match - if this happens, just delete the torrent in your client (being careful NOT to delete the actual data files), rename the files to what the .torrent file is expecting to see, then re-scrape it again!
Like I said above - it REALLY IS this easy - because scraping a torrent is actually the final step in the upload process to begin with!
