Clarification: this only happens in this website. Others work fine

I'll reply to raise the issue further, but honestly, the idea that torrents from any tracker - private or otherwise - would, because of the tracker, make what you describe happen makes little sense to me:

Remember: you only download the rather TINY little .torrent file from the tracker... EVERYTHING ELSE comes from the seeders... and the tracker (in spite of some common beliefs) is not a middle-man in that transfer -- your client (the leecher) and the seeder (some other guy's system) talk DIRECTLY for each "piece" of the torrent that you download.

What I will add is that on my Linux qBittorrent client I have issues with "spoiled cache" - and when I have too small a cache for the number of torrent's I'm trying to download at once, I will see transfers drop to zero (because there is no available cache) until the cache clears (there is an "expiration" on the cache)...

Now Mac OS-X is built on the same core as Linux, so maybe this is what's happening to you?

But i don't own a Mac to test this out on - nor to load your client to tell you where this setting is... but look to DISABLE your cache (forces write to disk cor all data) and see what happens.

NOTE: Can I suggest that the fact that you only see this on GT.RU torrents may be because you are downloading either larger files, or a larger number of simultaneous files???

@bobi1990

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to be leeching the file to request a reseed...

Give it a shot... download and start the torrent first, then try the reseed button..

@bijicjic

I am equally impressed that @MrMazda recognized this error from WinXP

... and that @bijicjic is actually using a system that old!

@raphjd

Honestly, I thought this had to be bullshit, but I read it...

In this article it says:

"The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the course states. "Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict."

I'm sorry, but unlike your English class, where color and colour are technically BOTH correct spellings, 1 + 1 = 2 and the square-root of 25 is exactly 5 are not "open for debate", nor are they - at least at the level taught in non-graduate school level classes - open to being re-interpreted and changed anytime soon!

If math was subjective - and open to debate based on your cultural heritage, or other factors - then we'd have never landed the lunar or martian explorations!

Now THIS is some LIBERAL BULLSHIT!!!

@mrmazda said in Connection closed by peer:

@bijicjic This can also happen if you're using Windows XP. Due to some security upgrades and the lack of updates to support them in Windows XP, you are now unfortunately limited to using the non-SSL tracker. You can do this by disabling the SSL tracker option in your profile.

In case you're interested, it's that the SSL versions supported in WinXP are now deprecated... you should be using TLS 1.2 and/or TLS 1.3 exclusively today.... and those didn't exist in the days of WinXP, and they are beyond the computing power of most systems that would run that OS today!

As well, you can change the tracker URL manually on your torrents by modifying the beginning of the URL

change this:
https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/

to this:
http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/

That is interesting information - a shadow tracker!

I would say shaved... I hate it when I'm licking there and I get hair in my mouth... no way!!!

what about ass: shaved, trimmed or full-natural?

Ass and balls shaved - rest of pubes, neatly trimmed please...

Piercings: yeah, por nay? (talking in "private" areas - perineum, penis, etc.)

@mrmazda said in Just started getting Usage Violations -:

@raphjd You are correct. I run a cross between Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linix, depending on what system I'm on.

Cool then - so other members of Staff should know then to direct help inquiries about Linux-specific problems to MrMazda!

@bi4smooth

Your beloved RINOs and swamp monsters wanted to cancel Trump from the very start.

I'll take this example of "what about-ism" as acquiescence to the validity of my earlier point...

However, there are legitimate reasons, from time to time, when politicians should be removed... though it should be rare.

But let's be honest: Conservative Republicans were the first to use impeachment as a political weapon - against Clinton: for the high crime of having an extra-marital affair with a White House intern and lying about it!

Let's review history:

• Johnson was impeached for firing a Secretary of War the other party wanted to keep
• Clinton was impeached for lying about sex in the White House
• Trump was impeached for covering up an attempt to get a foreign leader to interfere with US elections (two things there!)
• Trump was later impeached for Inciting a riot for the purposes of insurrection against the US Government

Of ALL of these things, the Clinton impeachment stands alone in the pages of history as frivolous political nonsense... and it is we Republicans who are to blame for using impeachment for such base, purely political, means... it has (predictably) back-fired on us!

Do I, personally, think Trump should have been removed from office in the FIRST impeachment? No - not really, but he should have "gotten a bigger scare" - MORE Republicans should have voted to remove him, and the vote should have been CLOSE, but not enough to remove him.

Do I, personally, think Trump should have been removed from office (and barred from future office) in the SECOND impeachment: HELL YES!!

Given the precedent the (WE) Republicans have now created, President Biden can, in January 2025, LITERALLY ARREST sufficient members of Congress on January 5th - enough necessary to override the Electoral College's count, throw the election into the House (and Senate), and GUARANTEE that his replacement (assuming is isn't him) is a member of his own Party - as chosen by the remaining MoC... and there isn't SHIT Congress can do about it because he'll be out of office by the time they can try him in the Senate!

The idea that one can resign or otherwise leave office to avoid impeachment is an anathema to the concept as a whole (which comes from British Law!).

One of our Founding Fathers, John Quincy Adams, ca. 1832 - AFTER his term as President - proclaimed on the floor of the House that: “I hold myself, so long as I have the breath of life in my body, amenable to impeachment by this House for everything I did during the time I held any public office.”

Yes, Virginia, there IS impeachment after you have left office!
... and this new precedent is wrong: historically, politically, and logically.
I just pray that, like the "impeachment as a political weapon" has, bite us in the ass a few years down the road!

Also, this can happen when your ISP detects your use of a torrent program and they block the port.

To test this theory, open your BitTorrent client's options, and under connections, choose a different port... a random one is best, because you don't want to pick one (like 80, or 21, or 1443) that are used for other well-known services!

@bijicjic said in Connection closed by peer:

From some time I can't upload, neither download. I'm using utorrent 3.1.2.It says "connection closed by peer" down in the tracker info.

There are times, after lengthy inactivity, when this message will appear. This is just an "idle timeout'...

The connection may/should re-establish at your next refresh interval (usually 30-minutes). You can also manually refresh the connection by clicking on the torrent (file) in question and choosing to "re-announce".

If the re-announce fails, then there is an actual problem.
If the re-announce is successful, then you're all good

There's a huge difference between wanting politicians out of office and getting random people fired from their jobs.

Um... no, there isn't! Their position is their job!

However, there IS a huge difference if you just want to elect someone different in the next election cycle! That's not cancel-culture - that's politics!!!

Agreed that "normal" people don't have to re-interview for their jobs every 2/4/6 years! But that should be enough! Barring serious misconduct, those people (politicians) should be allowed to keep their jobs until their term is completed. (And, if they're re-elected, until THAT term ends!)

Honestly, AOC has said some of the DUMBEST SHIT I've ever heard out of a politician's mouth -- but then, so has Rand Paul! Liz Cheney isn't my favorite Republican MoC, but she's a loyal, thoughtful, conservative LEADER in the House... she shouldn't be "cancelled" because she's realized the "Emperor has no clothes"... If the voters in her district disagree in 2022, she can be retired - just like every other member of the House!

Forcing her to resign because she voted against Trump is Cancel Culture.
Voting her out of office (which I hope they do not do) is politics!

@ricky said in Just started getting Usage Violations -:

@goodblowjob Has your User Agent or other Firefox settings changed?

Please try Google Chrome or a different browser to see if you can download a torrent.

Just a technical note: The user pointed out that he was using Firefox on Ubuntu 20 - that's a Linux system.

A lot of tech-savvy users (like myself) use Linux systems to browse porn and download Torrents because these sites are often RIFE with viruses and other malware. And, quite simply, most of those attack-vectors just do not work in Linux! What's more, Linux does a much better job of "privilege separation" so that any malware installed is limited to the logged-in user (unless they're fool enough to do these things logged in as "root")!

The point being: Chrome doesn't exist on Linux.
There is the open-source chromium - upon which both Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge browsers are BOTH based - but no Chrome, per se.

If the GT.ru team is in need of Linux-aware "support", I'm happy to oblige... when you get a Linux-oriented question, just shoot me a note and I'll look at it! I've been working in/on/around Linux since before Linux Torvolds released 1.0 of the kernel!

@raphjd

As has been pointed out, "Cancel Culture" is a societal problem, not a liberal or conservative one...

Liberals have "deployed" cancel culture on certain conservative extremists, and conservatives have done the same to liberals.

Hell, conservatives are "doing it to their own" - right now, with the attempts to oust the Republicans (in some cases [e.g.: Liz Cheney] LEADERS of the party!)... solely because they won't fall in line behind "The Orange Don-ald"!

Part of the problem is that the Internet has given us nearly unlimited capacity to store data - so, for example, there was a CFO who lost his CAREER because he was incensed about hearing that Chick-Fil-A (a chicken fast-food joint in the US) was making corporate statements that were anti-LGBTQ. His (the CFO's) offense? He video'd himself lambasting a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru clerk for working for a hate-filed company. (Damn, the poor girl just wanted a JOB! I'm pretty sure she didn't check the political leanings of the company when she applied for that low-as-shit-wage job!)

So he got some hate mail (ok, deserved)... his COMPANY (employer - he was the CFO of the company) was attacked in the social media: threatened with bomb threats, boycotts, etc, so they fired him. (MAYBE deserved, but only because he was a C**-level employee, and he "represented the company" poorly)... But shit didn't stop there... he got a new job (NOT a C**-level job), but "activists" found out, notified that company, and he was fired again! (NOT cool!) And this repeated for over 5-years! These people would not let the man get and keep a job to support his family?

EDIT: OOPS! To be clear: maybe he should have lost his job for posting the video and identifying himself as the CFO of his employer. NO! His employer should NOT have received bomb threats, etc from social media activists!)

When is enough, enough? In the Internet Age, you cannot outlive your past sins! It's there FOREVER!

Should that nutball lady in Central Park be FOREVER ostracized because she called the cops on the birder in the park - because he was black, and she was scared? (Totally a racist thing - but not unforgivable, and should not be a life-ruining thing!) Even the victim told activists: enough! Leave the poor lady alone!

Should Kevin Hart never work in hollywood again because he made some anti-LGBTQ jokes 10-years ago??? Fuck no! He apologized for it - noting that they were different times - but "cancel culture" wouldn't hear of it! There can be no atonement! He cannot host the Emmy Awards if he - even 10 years ago - made fun of queer people!

BULLSHIT

BUT some of the arguments in this thread are off-base too:

There is no such thing as Speech that is FREE OF CONSEQUENCES!

Speech in America is free of persecution by the Government!
When you call your neighbor a FAG in a street-side argument, and the neighborhood queer kids TP your house that night, your rights weren't violated! You were sent a message - by the local queer kids - and now, you have a 6-month supply of TP! The only problem is: it's in trees!

In America it is legal to believe the Holocaust isn't real. (In Germany, making such a claim is a criminal offense.)
In America telling people your belief that the Holocaust was faked will get you thrown out of a lot of parties, but it won't (at least, not by itself) get you thrown in jail!

Thus, "cancel culture" isn't illegal - at least not in America...
But it IS (IMHO) completely amoral and wrong (I know, redundant much?). It's an ugly addition to our culture, and one that history will not remember with any fondness...

I would say outdoors when there is no privacy... fucking outside with snow around must be so dammed cold!!!

fucking in an orgy or just with one person?

Oooohhhh.... I love a good orgy! For a totally VERSATILE and insatiably horny guy, that's just a BUFFET of good times!

OK, a 3-way (in honor of the orgy question):
Pubes: shaved? trimmed? of full-natural?

@hottie124

I had a friend (had - quite a long time ago - we're not friends now because we moved to different places and just never kept in tough) who worked in a pet shop...

People think "puppy mills" are bad!

The "fish as pets" industry is 10-x worse! And SO MANY people buy fish because they think they're "hassle free"! Those poor creatures go home to tanks that aren't cleaned, food that's either too much or too little (or old!). Hell, sometimes fresh-water fish are dumped into salt-water tanks, and vive-versa! Water is water, right?

Locally, our tap-water is treated with chloramine & flouramine... but once a year, or thereabouts, they switch up to chlorine for a few days (about 2-weeks usually) to disinfect the primary distribution systems... more fish are killed by owners NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MAILED WARNINGS!

Anyway, my point is:

KUDOS TO YOU for doing right by your scaled little dependents!
They are living creatures, and if you take them into your home (for other than food purposes), you OWE them a decent, safe habitat!

NOTE: the "other than food" I'm referring to here are the pets who eat live prey - like some snakes and some spiders....

@raphjd

Honestly, man! As-if the left had a monopoly on STUPIDITY?

Qanon? Donald Trump's Big Lie?

Enough said?

That's not to say the left DOES NOT come up with some stupid shit!

Bernie Sanders "free for all"? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (the AOC) "free the planet, now!"?

@cuppednoodle

Just a thought:

In PRACTICE on this site:

• Anal = Condom
• Bareback = No Condom
• BOTH = Anal sex

@ricky said in ENGLAND: NHS tells midwives to use terms such as ‘chestfeeding’ and ‘human milk’:

@bi4smooth
No matter what opinions come up, @raphjd will always have my respect and admiration, for reasons that will never be revealed.

Don't get me wrong - there's a lot to admire and respect about people that do not entail any kind of politics! And I personally do not consider politics to be bloodsport... I have good friends who are solid Trump supporters (even one who is certain that there is a secret plan for Trump to be restored as President next month). I have equally good friends who were HUGE Biden supporters in the elections - this year, and in prior Biden runs. On a personal level, we all know, love, and respect each other. (They know me as a Conservative and Libertarian)

I haven't seen a LOT of posts from @raphjd other than his political ones - and in those, he's pretty intolerant of opposing positions... But I DO note that he is an Administrator here... and that means he plays a significant role in making this site available, and I'm very certainly grateful for that.

I have no idea how he would be as a father, a teacher, a preacher, or hundreds of other facets of his life... and I don't hold his politics against him... but that doesn't mean I don't challenge his generalizations and radical statements, either!

@ricky said in How old are you?:

Dad has a newspaper saved from the day after that happened. Some years it will be on the news, and it used to put a small sad side note in my day.

I know exactly where I was when JFK was assassinated - I was in my mother's belly! I would be born just over 3 weeks later...

Oh what a world I was brought into!

To directly answer the question, in Feb, 2021 I am 57 (and still have the same libido I had at 19!)

@hottie124 said in How many times do you jerk off in a week?:

@ricky yeah im 30 and I enjoy once a day, up to 3 times a day sometimes

That's me too... I can't get to sleep at night if I haven't cum... and since I don't have my soulmate to offer up his sweet behind anymore, it's just me and lefty

Thank God for porn - but if I'm honest, I sleep best when I beat off to interracial porn and think of/remember my ex...

BTW: @Ricky -- I'm 57 you're a young sprite !!! LOL
