@Rotron said in Vanishing torrents ...:
Back out?
I can't speak for brother @blablarg18 , but I think that with nearly 200 posts in this thread, we've beaten this to death. Unless we can profile and defeat an Evil Troll who is causing problems, we will probably just have to accept torrents going up, and torrents coming down. Keeping them up will take more than Viagra.
In honour of my mother:
Gezegende kerstdagen en een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
@Quente2 I'm glad it worked out for you. I like the models in the Cadinot films--good bodies, not overly buff, and full bush downstairs. It's too bad that they're mostly older and of lower video quality, but I can deal with that.
@Quente2 I got this scene at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=814b7fe539ddec913f627acd8bc2072fe65a542a16720a70, which is a collection of many films--pick the one called "Cadinot STOP (1980)."
The scene with the motorcycle and bus is from Cadinot's Stop:
You can find that in the torrent section. The hitchhiker (in red) is the top, not the bottom. He delivers an internal cumshot, and there's an amusing shot of a road sign saying Décharge interdite (discharge prohibited) right before the bottom squeezes the cum out of his hole.
If you go to https://gayeroticvideoindex.com/video/23452 you can track down the models and see the other films they did.

Karen the Censor narrowing things for us, MORE than legally required, taking away the debate, is plain vandalism.
I totally agree. What I'm puzzled about is how Karens can cause a takedown--presumably that is only done in response to the copyright owner or their authorised agent. We'll probably never know the real story here.
@blablarg18 said in Vanishing torrents ...:
Hall Monitor syndrome......... a self-appointed censor or two
This could explain some of it. There are some "activists" around who like to impose their preferences on others. (The "one star rating troll" comes to mind.)
There are probably many pieces to the DMCA takedown/vanishing torrent puzzle, and as users we're pretty much left to speculate on our own, perhaps discovering patterns here and there. The owner/operators of the site quite understandably can't/won't comment on this, for everyone's protection.
While it's disappointing to see things go away, there's still lots of good stuff to be found. If one searches for torrents tagged "Bareback," the search engine maxes out at 20,000. Even something specialised like oral sex with hairy guys:
gets 151 hits for active torrents.
Some clever searching will turn up a wealth of material to keep our internet connections frying like bacon.
@ikpooo When the torrent file is downloaded and running in your client (such as uTorrent or whatever you use), you can select some or all of the files that you want to download--just make sure it's in your torrent list, and it will probably say something like "connecting to peers" and show zero seeders.
It will not affect your ratio until someone responds to your reseed request. Once they do, the system will record how much you've downloaded from them. You won't get any upload credit, though, because those people who connected already have the files and it's unlikely that other people will hook up to an old torrent.
Downloading the torrent file and loading in your client will count against your limit for how many torrents you can download in a given day, as well as how many torrents you can have downloading at a time. (It counts as "downloading" even if there's nobody sending you data.) You can find the limits that apply to your account by going to https://www.gaytor.rent/rationator.php
Don't be discouraged: People do sometimes respond to reseed requests. If you're not having luck, though, I recommend against sending additional requests. If somebody got a request once and didn't respond, getting another one likely won't work.
Good luck!
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.
This gets stranger and stranger...
I recently freeleeched an old torrent that I uploaded a long time ago--it was dead, and I thought it was a good one, so I wanted to give it some new life.
It was not promoted to the top of the search list with a recycle icon, which I thought was SOP for freeleech torrents...and I was concerned that it wouldn't have any visibility. Nevertheless, very soon quite a few users found it and successfully downloaded it. And, it hasn't been deleted...so freeleeching is not always the kiss of death.
I am reminded of what Nobel winning physicist Richard Feynman once said: "The Universe is not as strange as we imagine; it's stranger than we can imagine."
@frostycab said in Idea to greatly eliminate incomplete uploads / seeding problems - FEEDBACK PLEASE!:
torrent sites are only able to operate based on the fact that they don't host any copyrighted material.
This is absolutely on target.
Case closed.

I don't have an answer, but in this one the herringbone wood floor places it almost certainly in eastern Europe.
@kalayaan said in Recycle Icon ♺:
Only mods can recycle (bumping at the top of the list) a torrent
Once an original torrent got duplicated and was reported, mod will then remove the dupe and "bumped" the original torrent with the recycle icon before the title.
I understand that process. There are also some oldies but goodies that are active on the system that newer members might enjoy seeing. I could post a new torrent of them by re-encoding in a different format, but that sounds like a "duplicate in drag" and against the spirit of the rules. Is there a way to promote older material, or do we wait for them to die a natural death?
@vanman said in Copyright Enfringement - Information:
Not sure what fantasy world you're living in.
I think you're probably referring to the fantasy world of other posters in this thread; I'm very aware that everything is copyrighted.
The only stuff I own the copyright to are "home movies" I've made with my boyfriend. If I ever posted those, the consequences to me would make capital punishment look like a parking fine.
In the (highly unlikely) event that this fellow won the 2024 election in the US, he wouldn't become their president until January 2025.
@lololulu19 said in Content lacking:
and I am not seeing these torrents that are supposedly being taken down.
Ah, I get it: You don't see what isn't here. I must be having the same problem.
If only we had some super power so that we could see what was gone...
@vanman said in Copyright Enfringement - Information:
everything shared is copyrighted
Yes. That's right.
It was produced by someone who has given permission to reproduce or share
Really? I doubt that.
Seriously man.
I won't presume to speak for brother @ianfontinell, but I believe he is serious, accurate, and correct.
@animewatcha-0 said in LastPass has 2nd security breach in 3 months:
This is one of the reasons why i don't use password managers aside from my own mental one.
Ditto...and I use a different password for every site (be it torrent, bank, brokerage, airline, etc.).
I don't know how password managers work (and I have no interest in learning), but they might be helpful for those people who use the same username and password for every online log-in. A former colleague at my firm did that, and got massively screwed over as a result.

They might not be scenic, but they're great for holding lube.
A few thoughts here:
When you say "escort I found online," I presume that you have actually met this person in the flesh. Falling for pictures and text on a computer screen is a ticket to disaster.
Also, be sure that the escort's feelings for you are reciprocated and genuine. Escorts are in the business of making their clients happy, and will lavish compliments about one's body, personality, sex technique, choice of cologne, etc. This is theatre, not reality. It's pleasant in the moment, but it's not real.
Finally, one cannot expect exclusivity. If you "fall for" the guy and start dating him, know that he's still going to be having sex with other people. If that triggers jealousy on your part, this is a situation to be avoided.
On a personal note, a couple of years ago I started dating a guy I met at the gym. I soon found out that he moonlighted with an escort agency that provided companionship for women. Most of his appointments were as arm candy for dinner, theatre, etc., but some of the time it would include sex. He was indeed quite gay, and very much a bottom, but in his own words, "I have to pay the rent." I suspect that I would have been jealous had his clients been men...but instead I only asked that he wash up thoroughly after his appointments.
