:sorry: - I ate it

meindallas, there is a difference between a DCMA takedown and a duplicate.

Amusingly someone posted the complete set of the one I posted that was taken down. That lasted a few weeks but I see it has disappeared now.

Today marks the fourth anniversary since I was let back into gaytorrent.ru

Now doesn't that put all things into perspective and gladden your hearts  :cheers:

Mind you it seems easier just to check the active torrents. If nothing is found, post away and if it's a duplicate, so be it.

At least that is one step better than many of the uploaders do now 

I don't know if this 95-posts-overnight person is taking the piss.

But there is a small protection. See that little box marked 'report to moderator' at the bottom right of each reply…?

Oh dear, someone else thinks they found a good way to increase their points  :spank2:

I nominate Bluesurfer as Forum Curator 

But seriously, I would prefer posts to be made in existing topics if applicable, even if they are old topics.

There used to be threads in various places about how to make a request. That seems to have died down and people have settled on one thread.

But if everyone starts a new topic for an existing theme it makes it hard to keep track, especially when someone is asking about something that has been covered elsewhere.

Bluesurfer, there is a thread somewhere asking for volunteers. I think it's from Popper but I can't find it right now.

I'm not sure if This Form is still valid

:hiya: Raphael, great to see you. Hope you have fun.

Just keep an eye on your ratio in the early days, and keep seeding your downloads after you complete 

:hiya: good to see you, hope you have fun.

Just remember to keep an eye on your ratio (especially in the early days) and keep your downloads seeing even when you've completed your download

dan101, you can reseed the torrent you have if you still have the file you downloaded.

You will need the torrent file (download again if needed), open it as usual and then point your torrent client to the original file.

Sadly unless someone actually downloads what you are seeding, you will get no upload credit. However if you leave the torrent seeding, you will get the 0.5 bonus point for each hour. And you never know when someone might decide to download the file and you will be there waiting.

sutieday is right that downloading freeleech torrents (you are allowed one at a time) is a good way to improve your ratio.

However the BEST way is probably to post your own original torrent (a popular one but not a duplicate)

I don't know how you are renaming your torrents/files but I prefer something associated with the original title so I know if it's worth bothering to have a look. Or if I already have the file.

As I have downloaded none of the "most popular torrents", something isn't grabbing my attention. Probably, just me…

A 'dead' torrent is still on the tracker. All it needs to revive them is for someone to start seeding again. If they disappear from the tracker then they would need to be reposted from scratch, new torrent, new picture(s), new information.

I can only give a definite answer to your #2.

When a duplicate is deleted, it is first just hidden from public view so no-one else can download the torrent. The torrent is left open until everyone who downloaded the duplicate torrent has finished downloading the file.

It is difficult to know about your unrelated searches but if could be that the search term you used is in the description rather than as a torrent name.

PS A guide to searching for duplicates can be found HERE

Hey guys, can we keep it down to a dull roar?

Pro-Trump and anti-Trump are unlikely to agree about anything but let's not sling epithets

I could have answered that with a long list some years ago… 

But if you would like a little nostalgia this is fun.

Hey Bluesurfer, don't beat yourself up - you are about the last person I'd have thought would 'cheat'.

We've all made a mistake or two and fortunately we have people around who can put things right.

Meanwhile you have shared so much  :cheers:

If you put piss in the search box on the search torrent page you get 800 returns

@sutieday:

I came across https://linuxjourney.com/ seems to have a lot of useful information on Linux.

Thank you, that seems a good tutorial site. I have tried Linux a few times and have given up because I couldn't get the hang of a few basics 

eastonkellan is quite right.

I often see files that are too big for me. Depends on the subject and category. I might want a smaller file just for a quick watch.

It seems yours is not a true duplicate so just leave it. If someone discovers an identical earlier post they will report it.

I am reminded of the old joke:

A Pilgrim father asks a native American "What did you call this country before we arrived?"

Answer: "Ours"
