So instead of acting like the beach police in Cannes who think they have spotted the death of Western civilisation because a woman wears what she feels comfortable in why don't we have an 'Other' category?

This could house stuff of interest that does not fit any other category. For instance I have quite a collection of gay/gay themed radio programmes. Nowhere to go here. Or the spoken word. Where would I post my collection of Armistead Maupin readings on this site.

Even my copy of Stephen Fry reading Lord of the Rings hasn't got a slot here.

So instead of slapping people down, let's expand opportunities. I definitely think The Golden Girls merits a place for gay interest, if not gay themed.

My two pe'nnorth 

I felt it must be a spoof, but really it was just the usual Limbaugh drivel trying to make a story where there wasn't one.

I should be grateful that 'shock jocks' don't really exist here

leeniedo, I'm still checking but still no sign of the movie 

Perhaps just to expand a little.

The torrent files you download from here are not movies that you can watch. They are 'signposts' that enable your torrent client (uTorrent, Bittorrent…) to locate the files they refer to.

All torrents are just that, no type at all. When you open the torrent file in a torrent client it will tell you what you will (hopefully) be downloading. As Spintendo says if you click on the File List it will tell you what the torrent file will be looking for.

You will not need to convert anything as your torrent client will download the files as they are meant to be.

So your first job is to get a torrent client. I would recommend this one to start.

It is easy and has none of the pitfalls of later versions. Install, download a torrent file and open it with uTorrent. Choose somewhere to save your download files and you should soon have something to watch. Make sure you keep seeding after you complete.

PS Tor is something completely different.

PPS If you need more help (and you probably will) just ask away 

I am British, I prefer American porn. But not sure this is the right forum for this question 

Oh, boy, you're knocking at an open door here.

My last three uploads - total thanks? Three and one of those was from a generous member who had requested the movie. Total downloads? 110.

I try to say thanks or leave a comment when I download. Don't always succeed, especially if I meant to come back after watching.

Thank you, Popper, got you. There is no-one left to send a message to.

I am sure the helpdesk has more important things to do…besides, I've forgotten which torrent I was after 

Why would this message come back after I press the reseed request on an unseeded torrent?

Just wondered 

Just be careful what you are sniffing 

I think Alexander meant a button on each individual torrent page rather than alongside the entry on the Search list.

And it has been requested before.

Just to be exact poppers are amyl nitrite. Amyl nitrate is a different compound with  other uses

I think  this explanation is pretty good.

If you want the incomprehesible version try Wikipedia

Slightly bending the topic here…

Restricting image uploads to those who've downloaded the torrent…

As I've said more than once I wish people who have downloaded would add thumbnails if none have been posted already

Everyone (including the original poster) can make thumbnails easily (except Mac users and DVDs). I'm not asking anyone to splatter pictures all over a torrent page, just one tidy thumbnail sheet…and you get a bonus point.

And QTN doesn't affect me - I've never used it

most of the time nobody does that…

But, saitek, I got a total of two thanks for my last two uploads  :cry2:

But the uploader will get added ratio equal to at least the size of his file while he is seeding his post. So it is not totally without a reward.

But I give you a  :hug2: for thinking of the uploaders

nzb usually has something to do with downloading files from usenet

nzb.su is a very old site with links to NZB sites

I can't connect with the other one

'right away' might be a bit harsh.

It was fairly obvious what he was doing (and succeeded). I think the 'punishment for a 'first offence' was suitable.

But if he does it again…

I think that message happens if you are trying to access a hidden torrent, often because it is a duplicate.

If you gave the name of the movie you were after people could search for the original 

I had to go and lie down in a darkened room after seeing that 

For me, the more relevant pix the better

And if we see a mess of untitled pictures in no particular order, how are we to know which are relevant?

Mr Mazda, those pictures might have been relevant but unnecessary.

And we can't expect Mods to know every movie and every scene to know whether the pictures are relevant.

However the report button works well. I have reported pictures on my own as well as other torrents which had nothing to do with and they have been deleted quickly. But it is just more work for staff that could be avoided.
