Hello,

I will forward this information to the higher-ups, but the best work around is to put the words in quotes. IE "Multiple Words" instead of Multiple Words.

I have found this works when searching.

Hope it helps

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for letting us know, I will shoot a message over in our Super Secret Staff Channel (or S3C if you prefer) to have this looked into. If you run into any more issues, Please open a helpdesk ticket here: https://www.gaytor.rent/helpdesk.php and myself, or one of my fellow staff will answer you as soon as we can

Thanks
Dandy

Hello,

The system is currently being worked on behind the scenes.

I'll take a look at your case, and provided you haven't done anything outrageous...I'm feeling rather... Second-Chancey.

HOWEVER, it does come with a STERN warning from well above my paygrade: If you manage to lose them again, your account would be suspended until the new system is in place.

Please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Hello,

There are no rules about running two torrent clients at the same time, AS LONG AS YOU ONLY USE ONE ACCOUNT.

Personally I run two different clients depending on what I’m doing, If I am downloading a torrent that needs to be checked by staff, I use qBitTorrent, but if I’m downloading for my own personal collection, I use Tixati.

As Bi4smooth stated above, it seems to be a recent update to Transmission that is causing the incompatibility. Personally I moved away from Transmission in the past because I couldn’t have more than about 1000 torrents in it before it would crash.

On another note: I am looking into what clients I’d recommend instead of transmission so I will update this post in the future, as well as try and put together a write up

Thanks,
Dandy

Hello,

Could you provide the Name of the content? I can check on the staff side to see if a "duplicate" of it already exists or if the torrent is truly dead.

Thanks

@justhere4mrf

I agree with bi4smooth above me, it would really depend. You should check to make sure if you do end up splitting the larger torrent, the smaller pieces don't already exist.

I would recommend grouping them with a theme/ with a certain performer so that it could "be a collection". I have personally seen people break up a collection with "StudioX 01 of 10" which is a grey area so I'd prefer you stick to a more defined collection

@1hotstud

Hello,

I am looking into this issue on our end, but it seems to be directly related to Transmission from what I've gathered. I am not sure what makes those torrents specifically different enough to make Transmissions not accept them, but the current work around is to use a different client to download them until we can work out what it causing the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

DandyLion

Hello,

We are aware of the errors and we have let the System Admin know.

Hello,

If you are referring to searching on the torrent side of the site, I recommend using quotes to search for specific things. For example, "suite703" (I found the newest torrent as an example). You can also do this with names, like "person X" "Person Y" SHOULD give you results that contain both names.

Hey there

Hello

If I’m not mistaken, synology has a torrenting “add-on” or extension (I can’t remember what they’re called for Synology) called DownloadStation but the one MAJOR caveat is that it does not support VPNs.

I will do more research and edit in any more that I find to be reputable

@eobox91103 said in Is there a "Removed Torrent List"?:

@archiver55 To answer your topic question--no, there isn't a list of removed torrents that's available to users, according to what a moderator told me a few years ago.

As @john32123666 says, torrents can disappear if the copyright owner asks it to be taken down. Material from EnglishLads and OnlyFans is often removed. If the torrent is taken down but you're still connected to seeders and/or leechers, those connections will stay active and you can download/upload material from those other people. It will not, though, be counted by the tracker and figured into your ratio.

I can imagine its frustrating to have a torrent disappear when you're using it to boost your ratio. I suggest no using EnglishLads or OnlyFans for this purpose. The torrent you mentioned (Guys of London) sounds like it might have been a thinly masked bit from EnglishLads or its affiliated studios...and those folks watch this stuff carefully.

What you've said is true - except for one minor (possibly?) point. According to a moderator I spoke with back in the 20-teens:

• Once a torrent is removed, the reports to the tracker are ignored. All transferred data AFTER the torrent is deleted is "free" (freely given by the seeder, freely taken by the leecher)
• All data transferred and reported BEFORE the torrent's deletion WILL continue to count for/against your ratio.

That's not the same for "duplicate" torrents. As it was explained to me, duplicate torrents aren't DELETED, so much as HIDDEN. That way, people who start to download a torrent that's marked as a duplicate can still finish what they started, and they're also "charged/credited" for that data as well (the torrent being reported on actually exists, it's just not listed on the site any longer).

Thus, if you download a torrent and it disappears on the site, but the tracker still shows your connection, you stumbled into a duplicate. But if the tracker says the torrent is "unregistered" - that means it's deleted... gone... vanished... torrent? what torrent? LOL

I don't think I'm disagreeing with anyone else on this - just fine-tuning the details a bit

I'm going to try and enlighten without giving away any of our staff secrets (Can't have the boss mad at me :P)

Duplicate torrents are NOT deleted, they are hidden away in a dark corner of the site where only staff can see them (So we have a record of them, and if someone uploads multiple dupes, we can message them),

All data transfered from Duplicate torrents STILL COUNTS against your ratio because you are still getting the file. If you already have it downloading in your client (according to the tracker) before it's moved, it's yours. If you downloaded it and your client hasn't started the download yet, when it reaches out to check your limits and whatnot, it will reject the torrent.

(oddly enough, I took a break from handling dupe torrents to type this haha)

All torrents that are "removed" for being duplicates will have another version of it that is pushed to the top of the main search page with a recycle icon, which means staff have removed a dupe and made the original move up (and it's freeleeched).

To address the main question being asked, No. There is not a list of fully deleted torrents. They aren't hidden from view, They are HARD DELETED. Poof, Gone, Done.

Hope that helps,,

@808bbbottom said in Quick Torrent Maker - Unable to Select:

Cannot select a category. When you click on it, "select category" is what comes up.
The subcategory dropdowns are greyed out.
Please help

Hello,

Please try and click the arrow on the right-hand side instead of clicking in the middle of the box.

it should open a dropdown menu where you can select the MAIN category. Once that is selected, you will be able to select the subcategories.

@dandylion said in Stalled:

Hello,

The tracker issues aside, QBittorrent does not behave with our tracker very well because we do not have "Scrape" enabled. I'm going to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it was explicitly mentioned in a training document about QBittorrent acting strangely because of it.

Thankfully the fix is easy, if a download is "Stalled", right click it and click "Force Resume". This should resolve the issue

Thank you,
DandyLion

The qBitTorrent "scrape" issue only comes into play when you complete a download.

"Scraping" is essentially a re-announce to the tracker that you have the complete torrent and are now a seeder, not a leecher.

In qBitTorrent, there is a simple fix: set your client to force re-check upon completion. It will seed properly AFTER the re-check.

I learned something new, Thank you very much, I will update my training materials and pass that information along

Hello Everyone,

I'm one of the staff here on GTRU,

We are aware of the issues with the tracker. We are working behind the scenes to try and remedy them I promise.

My only suggestion at the moment if your torrents are getting stuck or getting the "Timed Out" Error, Please try and restart your torrent client/ Pause your torrents, wait a few minutes, and try and resume them again.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and Thank you for your patience

@dandylion Oh my I really feel foolish I just noticed your profile picture after I made that post with the pics... (Embarrassed)

No need to feel embarrassed, you just gave me more profile pictures to choose from when I decide to change

@bi4smooth said in Hello Everyone :

Hi DandyLion - Good luck on your training! This is my FAV torrent site (I belong to 3)! Glad you're volunteering to keep things good/make things better!

Most "Staff" (other than @raphjd on the politics boards) seem keep a very low profile - it might be interesting to have a staffer who mingles with us commoners

I always try to be in touch with the normal users, I've been a member of this site for YEARS so I'm glad to be helping keeping it pristine.

I'm DandyLion, one of the newest staff members here.

I'm in the process of training to be able to assist all of you with whatever problems may arise. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say which help sections I'm specializing in but there is a good chance I'll be talking with some of you in the future

Have fun and enjoy GTRU
