@eobox91103 said in Besides Torrent Sites, What Other Sites Do You Visit?:

I'm not sure about gt.rent forum practices in mentioning other website names, so I'll hold off giving the URL here in a public space....but feel free to PM me if your interested.

With thanks to @raphjd: The site that I used to visit was https://www.gayboystube.com/. I think it's gone downhill recently--most of the content is home-made "wank in the mirror" stuff, and some horrible quality vintage clips. But, your mileage may vary so you might want to check it out. A few times I've found something good enough there that after some editing and processing, I've uploaded it here. It's very easy to download clips from there using the Firefox extension "Flash and Video Download."

The upload page says rather clearly "Please upload only BIG Pictures in GOOD quality!" If people are ignoring this, it might be worth reporting the torrent to staff.

@blissful1011 said in How to download specific file from a torrent:

how do i get more peers

The peers are other users who are seeding the torrent. In some way that I don't fully understand, your torrent client negotiates with the tracker (at gaytor.rent) and hooks you up with other seeders. You won't necessarily be connected with every other seeder. I don't know if there's a way to get the tracker to connect you to more seeders...perhaps another user can chime in.

...for free WiFi.

I imagine that other kinds of "connections" with him would also be pleasant.

@johnmartinez-0 I don't know the back story of the "Sneek Peek" series, only that the 30-ish military guy "Vinnie" seems very adept at finding 20-ish lads to suck off...almost all with a full bush.

I suspect cash is involved, and none of the guys come across as being particularly bright. I can't tell if drugs or alcohol are involved. I see some scenes with poppers, and a beer can on the night table, but no other indication. The guys seem fully conscious. I don't remember a scene where a lad says "I don't want to go that far," but perhaps I missed it.

My favourite is "Tony," who often giggles a bit after he cums. (I had a BF who would do that.) Tony even returns the favour a few times.

I don't recall any of them looking drugged...although some were clearly bored and simply awaiting their paycheck.

(Note that these films are not to be confused with the "Sneaky Peek" series of posed voyeur clips.)

@john32123666 said in has staxus been banned from the site?:

they even misspelled prosecuted lol ...

Or maybe they meant, "prostituted?"

@scatslut The display you get depends on the client you're using. I use uTorrent, and let's say I get a display like this:

This shows green because the torrent on that line is still active; a dead torrent would show red. But the things to look at are the Seeds and Peers columns:

• This one shows 13 seeders present, although I'm not connected to any of them because I've finished downloading what I want. If you still want to download material from a torrent, this number will need to be something other than zero. If it shows zero, the tracker won't hook you up with a seeder, and you won't be getting any data from them.

• Similarly, it shows 10 peers (also called leechers) present, and I'm connected to three of them. This means that 10 users have not yet fully downloaded this torrent, and three of them are connected to me, able to get data from my files. If the torrent is deleted by the system, I might still be connected to some of them and be able to send them data, but I don't think the system gives me upload credit for that. You can also receive data from other leechers--if they have data that you don't have.

• If the client shows that you're not connected to any seeders or leechers (0 in both columns), then you won't get any new data. Depending on the torrent you might have some complete files, and maybe some semi-useful partial files...but that's it.

I hope this helps.

@OKCancel-0 said in This really is a town in Sweden:

Made me think of a place in Austria that used to be called Fucking

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tn2Yf8jjuM for more on that.

@urx585:

He lied about being underage to get his videos deleted.  And it worked – you can't find them anywhere anymore, even on GTRU.

...

If he distributed sexual videos of a minor, he would have been prosecuted for child porn.  He was never prosecuted.

The fact that he wasn't prosecuted doesn't mean he didn't commit a crime; it only means that if he did, he didn't get caught.

That being said, there have been many situations where somebody (or their attorney) claims that porn is "under-age" because they want it suppressed from release–Thierry Pepin comes to mind.  That tactic rarely works, because once's something's out on the Interwebs, it's there forever.

At the same time, I can appreciate websites that, out of an abundance of caution, choose not to facilitate access to material that _might  _be under-age.  I don't know if gt.ru "punishes" the uploader of such material; anyone can make a one-time mistake, especially if the content isn't on the "banned" list.  In this age of home-made videos, it's hard to know if a "model" is under-age.  But if there's a somewhat credible cloud of suspicion about a given video, it's best for websites–and users--to stay far away from it.  Even an unfounded accusation of "child porn" can be very damaging to institutions or individuals.

@john32123666 Follow-up: I found that my uTorrent had installed version 3.6. By going back to 3.5.5 everything now works fine.

It seems that version 3.6 added a tracker "wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz" to every torrent, which would try to update every 2 minutes. Going back to 3.5.5, this tracker still shows up on every torrent but with a status of "invalid URL."

This might have been the problem--having this weird tracker on every torrent, constantly updated, may have swamped the client. Users of other torrent clients might check to see if they have been automatically update to a newer version with a similar "feature," and if so, consider going back to an earlier version.

@lizejing1994 said in Is there a do not upload list?:

@iaimtoplease https://www.gaytorrent.ru/notallowed.php is this what you're referring to? Because I'm actually thinking about joshua armstrong. I used to remember there are a lot of his seeds on this site but they're all gone so I presume he is on a no-upload list or something like that.

The page linked by @iaimtoplease shows material that can't be uploaded at all. There are also studios (like EnglishLads and OnlyFans) that often request that torrents of their material be deleted for copyright reasons. It's OK to upload that material, but know that it might be deleted.

I'm not familiar with Joshua Armstrong, although I did a quick image search and he's definitely not under-age. If his stuff has disappeared from this site, it's probably for copyright reasons.

The moderators/staff of this site seem to follow a good policy here: If a person/company can demonstrate that they own the copyright to material being torrented here, the torrent will be deleted and the uploader notified to that effect, although the site will not tell the copyright owner who the uploader was. Furthermore, the admins/site will not comment to others regarding a torrent that they have deleted. These policies protect users' privacy while honoring copyright requests.

(There is another torrent site that currently has five Joshua Armstrong torrents active. I won't mention that site's name here, but you can send me a PM if you're interested.)

@freakmagnet said in Frequent "lost connection":

Anyhow, it hasnt posed any issues for me (it happened again twice in a comment -and my typing is not that slow!)

I notice this as well. Whenever I compose a post, I always copy it to my clipboard to that if the broken connection loses it, I can easily put it back.

@jokuihmemies I had the same problem. I followed the instructions above to re-install version 3.5.5, and now everything works fine.

@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.

@raphjd So do I presume that somebody with an "administrator" icon next to their name counts as staff? You no doubt inferred who I wanted to block.

Very well then, I'll just step away from the Forum (which is much less useful now given the redesign), It's clear that you want it to be your own litter-box designed to hold your own droppings.

By all means use the "request reseed" button,

but also download the torrent, where it will sit idle on your machine until someone reseeds it.

Will someone in fact reseed the torrent? That depends on how many people snatched the material, and how long ago it was active. In my experience, about one-third of such requests are fruitful, so it's worth a try. If you haven't had luck finding a seeder within a week, it's probably not going to happen and you can delete the torrent from your client.

There's probably somebody who thinks that all upscaling is bad--which isn't strictly the case. Using simple software to increase the resolution of a video file won't improve the quality, and just makes the file larger. Many people have done this, falsely claiming to have converted the file to HD.

On the other hand, there is some very sophisticated software that can make some improvement to the quality of a file when increasing the resolution. If the uploader has done this, they do indeed merit our thanks. While a 20-year-old file cannot be made to look like a current HD file, it can look a bit better.

I suspect that the one-star rater assumes that the uploader just increased the resolution without any quality improvement (which is the case with most upscales). Blowing up a file with no benefit deserves a low rating, but unless somebody has downloaded the material and compared it to a lower-resolution original, s/he's not going to know whether it's a "good" upscale or a "bad" one. It would be nice if the torrent page software only permitted rating by people who have completed a download of all the material, but that sounds like a massive software headache.

Is there any desire to fix the ongoing login/unavailable/error issues with the new forum software?

If not, rolling back to the previous version would be an improvement.

@Estion uTorrent 3.6 is filled with bugs. My system "auto upgraded" and it was a mess, so I downloaded and re-installed uTorrent 3.5, turning "auto updates" off.

If you search the forum for the term uTorrent, you'll find a handy how-to guide for doing this, posted by @john32123666 . It works very well, keeps all your current torrents, etc.

Good luck!
