@vinoario1 said in RESEEDING!!! A SHORT / CONCISE TUTORIAL about HOW to RESEED!!:

Does it make sense to reseed long dead torrents that no one is leeching?

It depends: is the content good? Lots of lazy, crap uploads out there.

If I reseed a long dead torrent that hasn't any leechers, how do I let people now that I'm reseeding it?

Spend some bonus points to make it freeleech for 24 hours. It will get at least some customers, guaranteed.

Where do I find a list with reseed requested torrents?

Unknown, so I would refer to the first point above: if you think the content is good, then you will find it worthwhile to keep it alive. Your effort, so, your choice / your judgment.

What external storage - I guess it might not be HDD - would survive an EMP attack? (likely to happen in the next war or terrorist event)

Years ago the last time I checked, it was disc-burning at about 4G per disc, pretty awkward.

@bi4smooth said in Abstain or Train for bigger cumshots?:

they also use drugs (and injections EEK!) to increase the volume

Maybe shouldn't ask, but now I am morbidly curious.... what substances would increase the volume?

@vmalar said in Abstain or Train for bigger cumshots?:

tells your body to stop producing because it's not needed

Not quite: part of the concept, again, is that you're getting laid often (if you wish) with partner(s) IRL.

@vmalar My load gets noticeably bigger when

1. I haven't cum in days, or/and
2. a partner and I are in a session with extended foreplay, at least 2 hours or more.

Have you heard of the "NoFap" movement? They're not celibates. Many are pro-sex. They just think that doing it alone (masturbating to porn, cough) wastes your physical energy, so, either get with a real partner or don't bother. Anyway, a NoFapper would look at my 2 points above and go "Obviously....Duh."

I need something that can look into the human-visible contents of image or video files and tell me about likely duplicates. Matching on file name, byte contents, size, etc. is not good enough.

For images, I've tried Visipics and Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder. They're OK for finding near-exact matches.

But they miss a lot of matches where the difference is cropping: in other words, a human looking at 2 images can see that one crops or overlaps another making them conceptually the same, but Visipics or ADPF will not see the match. What other app would be good?

And for finding video content matches, I have no idea. Last time I checked, apps only matched on file byte contents (not very useful). What content matching app would be good for video?

@pawpcorn Thanks, and it also helps to remember the "active / including dead / only dead" pulldown next to the Search button.

My wishlist was growing and shrinking, "mysteriously" until I realized that some torrents go back and forth between active and dead, dependent on who is seeding at the time.

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)

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!

Starting April 2, this happened.

• I noticed that torrents A and B have the same 4 .avi content files
• A is earlier, B is later
• but A is not good to keep, because 1) it's dead and 2) it comes with 4 .png files that nobody would retain, which makes A harder to "re-seed by hand"
• I posted comments to both A and B, pointing to each other and explaining why B should be kept
• but then I officially reported B (since it is later) as a duplicate of A
• A now has vanished
• I did not get the bonus points for duplicate reporting

My question is, should I have gotten points?
And if yes, whom do I ask about it?

It's possible that someone deleted A by coincidence, unrelated to me.

But it feels like someone processed my report of B as a duplicate; kept B / deleted A (wisely and as I had hinted); and then gave me no points for the report.

It's not possible for an ordinary user to see A any more, but B (with my comment at the bottom, pointing to A) is here: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=c901e7c8154d461ca7ae31ba473d4d65d61c4dc01b377327

@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
