@ricky Thanks, I got it.

• check that file names, sizes & paths/folders are identical to the thing I already had
• switch to uTorrent Classic
• remove old torrent
• download/add GT torrent with "start" turned off
• Force Recheck
• Start

@trader42 Realistically: It would be fun, but it would not make anyone's self-reporting more accurate nor their grindr profile more honest

I like the suggestions here. But someone should say the following...

There are exactly two real methods for losing weight:

1. surgery
2. Eat fewer calories than the calories you burn.

Most people (including me) won't do number 1. So that leaves number 2, which is simple arithmetic.

Number 2 "sounds obvious" and yet it reminds us of how simple the process is. Either eat less, or burn more. It's that simple.

The hard part is that you will feel hungry a lot, while doing it. The continuous hunger can lead to anger and to "binge eating" and other loss of compliance.

The different suggestions help you to stick to your plan, choose which foods to cut or what exercise to increase, etc. But always remember the simple arithmetic. Good luck!

Whoa, now all my bars are red!

Would tis be a site problem, an account (mine) problem, or something I needc to do differently in my uTorrent client? Stopping and restarting it has not helped.

Never mind, it fixed itself. Topic can be deleted.

I made a new torrent with QuickTorrentMaker which uploaded it thru my uTorrent client, except that I get the dreaded "red bar" on initial seeding.

No error messages, 1 peer connected / trying to leech, but nothing going up. What should I do?

Do some VPNs allow port forwarding?

Right now I have ExpressVPN... and I find that I must turn it off, if I want a visible external port as recommended by GTRU.

Just curious, what would be some likely reasons for this dumb little torrent to have a dead "Request reseed" button?

I know what a dead torrent is (no seeders). I'm saying, after you Download this one's torrent, you go to its "Request reseed" button and that button is strangely gray/inactive. Why?

@trader42 Realistically: It would be fun, but it would not make anyone's self-reporting more accurate nor their grindr profile more honest

@bi4smooth OK, that would cover my case. As explained above, (and possibly on my own hints / advice), they deleted the EARLIER torrent.

P.S.

4. (ideal / just gravy) able to handle faces that are partly turned away or covered

5. (ideal / just gravy) Perhaps matching of pics also on tattoo, body or penis recognition

I have a collection of about 20,000 pics of strangers, most of them with faces.

I'd like some desktop (Windoze, for me) software that will do the following:

0. run locally / no Internet uploads or downloads, until and unless I have my own reason to ask for it

1. based on a selected pic, pull up all other pics in the collection having the same face

2. scan entire collection for possible groupings-by-face, and show me the groupings in some sort order (say, descending by number of pics per group)

3. (ideal / just gravy) search the Internet for a name to the face, or at least click out to standard Google image search

I tried ImageRanger, which tries to do requirements 0 and 1. Unfortunately, ImageRanger's face matching is not accurate. It gives too many false negatives (obvious matches that it fails to see) as well as false positives (non-matches that it will put forward), even after you spend hours training it with your known faces.

I googled for facial recognition software, and found nothing for the isolated desktop user. At this point, face recognition is mostly done in hosted APIs / services.

Except that I am surely not the first person to have this problem? Does anyone know a solution?

@ricky Thanks. But if someone beat me to the report, they would have had to 1) ignored it for many years, then 2) seen my comments & made the report within 10 minutes of my posting the comments.

Because I did it all within a 10 minute span.

Who would even see my comments? (Until they search the torrent or work with it, some time much later)
