Re: Englishlads.com

Sadly the site decided to ban uploaders for 3 months for uploading content that upset the content creators. Englishlads was one of those. The banning started happening around 18 months ago and was rapidly followed by a decline in the quality and quantity of uploads, only to be replaced by chaturbate and onlyfans crap. The site says that an uploaders identity is protect, but the decision to ban people has caused so much discontent, that regular content uploaders have moved away. I have been here since 2007 and amassed a vast library of videos, but I feel reluctant to share anymore after receiving a 3 month ban without explanation. This banning is not detailed in the rules, so it came out of the blue. It has left a permanent bad taste and I do question why I take so much time to curate and prepare my uploads...but I plan to upload some some large batches to give something back to newer members (when I can be bothered). It is very sad, but this site is not what it was and there are no alternatives that I have found.

@john32123666 - agree. This site is taken over by idiots who can't be bothered to properly curate. They just want ratio

I don't download torrents that have been renamed because I file everything by studio. I also use thumbnailme because it is free and excellent. Torrent info can be switched off so it is not included in the image, but any torrent that that contains files which have been disguised make me cancel the download.

Noted. I do upload quite a few AI Upscales. I worry that people may download the entire torrent because they have not activated a pop-up window to check the contents and I don't want to rob them of their ratio. I do sometimes upload both files (increasingly often because it is frequently requested) but don't want to fraudulently deprive them.

@MrMazda Not sure I agree with all of this. I have a VPN and it throttles speed because it is re-routing. But it is the only way I can access Piratebay and Rarbg, so it has it purposes. Secondly, all of the seedboxes I used prior to finding my current provider throttled download speeds. My ISP is amazing and they throttle nothing

Unfortunately the previous topic is locked so I am creating a new thread here.

I have been with multiple seedbox companies of multiple years to securely download torrents from Rarbg (https://rarbg.to/torrents.php).

Most of the providers throttled fast downloads and even more when transferring files with Filezilla. Customer service at most is dismal and with one company the support staff were abusive.

I tried another provider last year, Seedit4.me. It is really brilliant with fantastic speeds. It also comes with a comprehensive dashboard. I have not needed to use support yet because the service is always up and working. So if you are looking for a really good service, it's worth taking a look.

Indeed several people have recommended QTGMC to me for upscaling in relation to deinterlacing, However it is very complicated to both install and use and not for beginners. Many of my source files are already in MP4 or MKV format and I am not sure if deinterlacing will make any difference on a file that has has already been processed from its original format.

I also found that the deinterlace preset in Topaz does not seem to have much effect on such files, but I have noticed that the processing time is much longer.

On the whole though, Topaz is very good, if not pricey!

@Joker:

I would appreciate your feedback on today's design update. Some of you have already reported about fonts that are too small. It is always very important to know where exactly on which page you see a problem. Then we save ourselves unnecessary questions back and forth. Of course I am also happy about every positive feedback, without any change wishes.  :cheers:

I love the new design but I don't like preview pictures opening in the same window when selecting from a torrents page.  Large previews are compressed to fit the page instead of opening in original size in a new window.  Can you add an option for this to be like the old preview setting?

Would it be possible to put this information on the welcome page?  :love:
