For myself I would have to say I'm color blind.  Don't care what "race" a person is, but rather what kind of guy he is.  Is he considerate of other people and their feelings is a big issue for me and frankly I have never given any consideration to whether a person was non-white, although I must be honest and say that it is mostly Caucasian men that I find the hardest to date mainly due to hearing from them "I'm not racist, but", which is a red flag for me.  I was raised by parent who always told us that the only race was  the human race and  you don't judge a person by their color but rather by their actions!  :true:

Thanks for the link cannonmc  and the laugh it provided!  I've come to the conclusion that I'll just keep on doing what I've been doing and hopefully will not get privileges revoked.  At least I can take comfort in the knowledge that my ratio will not go over .800 and I'm confident I can manage to maintain that.  Time will tell…. meanwhile I've decided not to worry about it.  Really do appreciate all the links and advice from the mods and members thought!  :bravo:

Than you kalayaan & cannonmc for your explanations.  I would like to say I now understand it, but unfortunately not!  :blondmom:  I am happy to know that it won't go over .800 at least.  I already seed all the torrents I download until my bittorrent shows me that the torrent has not seeded for 10hrs or more.  Mostly, the torrents I download have a share ratio of around 2.00 or more and the ones I upload I wait to ensure at least 4 or 5 other people are seeding before doing anything with the torrents.  Not really concerned about downloading 1T without uploading my own torrents and/or seeding torrents I have downloaded, just wanted to try to get a handle on the reasoning behind my ratio going up.  Really do appreciate both of your explanations  :bravo: and will re-read the info at the ratio link as well as the information you have both provided.  :thx:

@kalayaan:

This might help, click 'Ratio: _____' just below the blue menu band to explain how it works

Thank you for the information but have read it and unfortunately I am still confused by the raise in my minimum ratio from .650 to .700 as I have uploaded almost 2 times the amount of torrent data as I've download (see below)
**UL 1.22 TB  
DL 632.88
Ratio: 1.970 Bonus: 1346.4

Current minimum Ratio: 0.700 Download Buffer  1.12 TB :blondmom:

Current minimum Ratio 0.700 (35 Days grace time in case of your ratio falls below 0.7)**

This ratio was increased at a time when I already had a uploaded amount greater than my download.  My concern is that If I continue to upload torrents to the site (and I have about 3TB I was planning on sharing, I'm concerned my minimum ratio will then increase to a point I cannot possibly sustain. I am almost at a ratio of 2 to 1 now and have decided to stop uploading any further torrents until I get this figured out.  Not really looking forward to a ratio of .800 or .900 or even greater.  I have been trying to get my ratio to above 2.00 but am now hesitant about uploading more and or continuing to seed the ones I am presently seeding.  I try to seed until I have seeded 3 or more times what I've downloaded on each torrent.  Of course that is not always possible as sometimes after the first 12 hours no one is uploading them and I do keep my seeding going 24/7.  So if the increase in ratio is because something I'm doing that is wrong I would like to correct it.  Anyways, thanks for your advice about the ratio information, it was really appreciated.  :thx:

Can anyone explain to me how this is calculated and how the site arrives at the Minimum Ratio figure arrived at for members?  I noticed that the more I uploaded that the minimum ratio went from .650 to .700 and am wondering if I continue to upload more torrents without downloading a bunch of torrents, does my ratio go up more and more?  :hmmm: Or is the calculation based on something different?  Would appreciate any info I can get.  THANKS!!!!!!  :thx:

@junior:

Please don't confront them in the comments section, it just turns in to a bigger mess and more work.     We can not correct any issue until the torrent get reported.   Nothing was said that it was mandatory or against the rules if you don't.    We reply on the users being the police force to report them.

As I said first I speak my mind then I act if the problem continues after that…..  I also said I would be saying something in the comments.  My comments would only contain the real name of the movie being downloaded... period. I would also report the torrent but not as a duplicate but rather as a note to the moderator with the pertinent information.  I don't plan on using the option of reporting it as a duplicate as I don't want 50 seed points for reporting but rather ensure the moderators can deal with the user in private.  The issue for me is not the posting of a duplicate multi media file torrent or for that matter any other type of torrent that is a duplicate as I have been guilty of doing that myself in error.  The issue for me is the posting of a torrent under a different name, with wrong information etc... something that I don't believe is something that is done in error.  What the moderators do is between those members responsible for these torrents and the mods. I hope that clears up any concerns you may have.

While I have to agree that it would be a shame for others to be conned into downloading files that they already have, I have dealt with this issue the same way as I deal with other such issues in my life.  I prefer to speak my mind on the issue first, preferably face to face, but this is the best I can do when in a forum so I will have to settle with that.  Should this continue (the sleazy renaming and uploading of duplicate files) then I will have no problems in posting my comments to their torrents and/or reporting of same to the site mods.  Until then… such is life that we all must deal with these issues in a manner that is most comfortable to oneself.  I can't (and won't) change who I am.  First I speak my mind then I act if the problem continues after that..... such is life.

I have no plans on reporting these torrents to the moderators or anyone else for that matter.  Ive said my piece on the matter and am not interested in collecting points for reporting duplicates, or getting members in trouble.  If other members want to report these torrents for the points they are welcome to them.  Frankly Im pissed off enough about the matter as it is and dont need a moderator implying that Ive done something wrong by not reporting the torrents.  Is this another rule that I`m not aware off?  If so let me know what rule and where it's posted.  That's all I have to say on the matter and it's not my intention to be rude to junior or you cannonmc, just letting you and anyone else who bothers to read my post know that this time I'm fine with saying my piece but if it continues then these posters can expect me to post a comment on any future torrents they screw around with.  :true:

@lukemaxwell:

Find it odd how no-one posts face pictures on this site.

Here's mine anyways. Not ashamed.

No reason you should be ashamed, you look fantastic.  Personally I prefer pictures like yours than all the cock pictures being posted.  Just be careful … unfortunately there are a way too many sick dudes out there but thanks for sharing.  By the way you have beautiful eyes!

Makes me regret not continuing my photography work.  Believe me I never took a photo of anything that good looking.  But the fact that your starting your 30s shouldnt stop you from modeling.  It would be a shame for the men of the world to lose such a fantastic model.  I say Keep It Up… the modeling too  :hot2:

I must admit that I had to wait a while before posting this to stop myself from using language that is frowned on by the mods and don't really want my butt kicked while I get this off my chest.  This is for all you folks who are uploading torrents to the site and changing the name of the file to something totally off base and wrong.  Just downloaded a number of Themed movies that looked new and interesting and was looking forward to watching them.  Well surprise surprise when I go to watch the first one which turns out to NOT BEING THE NAME OF THE FILE, or TORRENT and info describing the movie were totally false  but instead was (Prayers for Bobby).  A great movie yes but as I already had it, wouldn't have bothered downloading the torrent I did if it had been honestly posted.  Go for the second movie and again nothing like what the torrent said but was rather the Mathew Sheppard Story another great movie but not what was in the name of the torrent, description of the movie or name of the movie as listed in the torrent.  Are you people so desperate for seed points you need to turn into a _____head just to get them and/or don't want your torrent tagged as a duplicate?  Now I feel better…. sure hope the uploaders don't..... but honestly I doubt that.

Thanks cannonmc for the link and explanation.  Finally got my IRC program setup and working.  :bananaw: :thx:

@cannonmc:

If I click on  #Gaytorrent.ru on the Chat page I am asked to open an IRC client and offered a nickname without installing anything as far as I know

Thanks but this is greyed out when I go to chat and I have set up the site under my security to allow java. Not sure what else is needed.
1.  Do you use Internet Explorer
2. What info do I need for my IRC program ie: Host Name etc.  Frankly I'm LOST :blondmom:

I use Windows 10 Internet Explorer for the web and am not interested in switching to another browser for chat (or frankly for any other internet use) soooooo… what is the best IRC Chat program to use with this site?  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated but would prefer not to have to fork out a bunch of money for the software.  Thanks in advance to anyone offering advice   :hiya::thx:

@xclr8:

hi!

can anybody help me.. i recently encountered this problem when downloading torrents.. out of the 5 torrents that are selected only 3 are being downloaded with speed that is acceptable.. the other 3 will have speed around 1 - 5 kbps.. i wonder why this is happening since the torrents are from the freeleech category. mybe the speed is not stable? its affecting my ratio coz normally i dwnload when i leave the house.

help needed..

I could be wrong but on Freeleech torrents there is no effect on your ratio unless you choose a freeleech that is huge and has very few seeders, but if your downloading a 10GB torrent with only 1 or 2 seeders then you better hope it's Freeleech for well over 48 hours or it will affect your ratio. Also by the way it is shown (# of seeders) on each torrent page and if there is less than 5 seeders  you will need the 48hrs or more to be able to download it during that time.  (and keep in mind they may be shown as being seeders but you can see in your torrent program that a number of these so called seeders are only uploading at 0.3kb which tells me it's just a way to gain points for seeding - Personal opinion).  You will of course receive 2 seed points for voting on category after the torrent is downloaded so that will help your ratio.  You can do that while your thanking the member for their torrent (hint hint)

I would like to add my vote for this to be done as well and it shouldn't be that hard to do.  The code is already written for this function and it should be relatively easy to do.  Sorry if it creates additional work for the mods but it is something that will make things easier for all the members to use and will benefit the site as well!  :hmmm:  :thx:

If you could explain the voting for category? I've rated downloaded torrents but to no avail. Is there another way of doing it? If you could please enlighten me?

After you download any torrent when you go to rate downloaded torrents, at the very top you will see a link to click on to select what category you think the torrent should be included in.  You can select up to 5 categories if you feel the torrent fits into them.  After you have completed the category selection the system will notify you that you have been awarded 2 bonus points.  Easy to do and these points do add up for you to use.  While you're at it don't forget to also send a thank you to the uploader.  No points but believe me it is much appreciated by the folks uploading the torrents we like and the bonus here is that a thank you encourages the member to upload more of the torrents you like!  :thx:

I use HMA (Hide My Ass) and have been using for a couple of years now.  Have had a couple problems and contacted customer service and they had me up and running in minutes.  Very fast and courteous customer service and reasonably priced.  You have the option of taking it month to month, for 6 months or a year at a time and you have the ability to sign on as if you were anywhere in the world.  Tried others but found that HMA was the best for me! 

@Popper:

Yes, you must include dead torrents in the search before uploading and if there is a dead, get it removed before you make your upload.

It is as well possible that your search term approach needs to be tuned. See our guide there for tips:

First… thanks for the info and the link.  After reading thru the entire article I can now see what I'm doing wrong.  I just didn't realize it would be a full time job to upload torrents :lolp:  Oh well.. live and learn.  :thx:
