@tnar Thank you sir!
I looked at the source code for that page, and I didn't see anything about "mainstream media" that would get garbled by a browser. And, there's lots of content from the BBC on the torrent site, which would be odd if it were banned.
I'm getting the uncomfortable feeling that the "rules" cited by @john32123666 don't really exist. I hope I'm wrong about that, as it would make for an awkward situation.
@john32123666 I think we can understand the problem now. When you go to that link, you get what you've pasted in. I don't get. What I get (pasted in below) is something different. That would seem to be a problem with the website, and needs to be referred to the help desk. Perhaps other members could say what they get when they go to the link.
@john32123666 Let me try this again: I don't see the rules you are quoting when I go the link you provided. I'm pasting below a screenshot of what I get when I go to your link. Perhaps you post a screenshot of what you get.
@john32123666 said in My torrent got taken down:
Uploading the following content is prohibited:
I don't see this list on the Banned Content page ( https://www.gaytor.rent/notallowed.php ). Could you check the URL here? It comes as a surprise to me: There have been some excellent BBC* documentaries and mini-series on gay topics (such as Line of Beauty), and it would be a shame if they had to come down.
*Note that BBC here means "British Broadcasting Corporation," not something else.
@drekkin The rules go on to say, "Also acceptable are non-porn films involving voyeurism of the adult male physique. Examples of voyeuristic material include bodybuilding, wrestling and underwear/swimwear." There were some videos posted in the last few days with lots of guys running around in briefs, with no sex or gay content. That would qualify here under this "we like bulges" provision.
I'm not familiar with the Teen Wolf series. I know that many of the actors are attractive, but if they keep their clothes on, then it wouldn't count as "male physique" and thus not be appropriate for this site.
Having said all that, I appreciate @Ricksterkid's willingness to share material with other members, and I hope this experience doesn't stop sharing in the future.
@drekkin That's the one. Thanks very much!
I'm especially interested in the guy on the right. (The guy on the left seems interested in him as well.)
Thanks very much.
@Mikimaus said in Hey I am new here, so i wanted to ask, can somone reseed the Below the Deck (1997)):
i hit the reseed button but nobody reseeded it
It can take a while for somebody who has that video to see the reseed request and then choose to reseed it. In my experience, if a seeder doesn't show up within a week or so, it's not going to happen.
I checked a few other torrent sites, and this material isn't available on them either.
@duke4172 His name is Wyatt Cushman, he has Twitter and OnlyFans, but it doesn't look like he shows more. Then again, I haven't bought any subscriptions.
@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.
If you look under "trackers," it probably says "unregistered torrent." This means that it's no longer in the system. Most likely it's been removed by staff, perhaps in response to a DMCA request, or maybe some other reason. In any event, it's dead. If you're still connected to another user you'll be able to exchange data for a while, but the tracker won't connect you to (new) other users.
@flozen said in Public sex:
@Watever2000 A "gay foam party" is held in a private venue, and you engaged in sex where every attendee understood the likelihood of such behavior.
It is worlds away from the examples of public spaces I gave above your reply, as well as from the other posters. Glad you had a lovely time.
Our responses crossed in the ether. Great minds think alike. 
@drekkin I share your frustration. While I'd like to always thank people for sharing their content, some torrents are simply garbage. I wish people would apply some sort of "golden rule" to their uploads...meaning "only upload a torrent with content/description/images/etc. that you would want to download yourself." I don't see why anyone would want to download a 50 GB torrent called "my favourite porn" with 20 cryptically named files and one or two pictures (that aren't necessarily related to any of the files). Surprisingly, though, there are people who download stuff like that.
I don't think the solution is to sanction uploaders of garbage torrents, but perhaps there's a way of rewarding uploaders of really good ones. Some torrents are clearly the result of much care by their uploaders, with clear description of the content, including thumbnail pages for each video file (and that's very easy to do). It would be nice to have a reward for these superstar uploaders. Perhaps more use of the "thank you" button is enough.
I think the term "public" is being used two different ways in this thread:
I've had sex in bathhouses, bushes behind gay/nude beaches, and at a gay sex party. While this was with or in view of strangers, they were all willing participants (or voyeurs), and nobody's rights were violated. I'm not sure I would call this "public," but the presence of (willing) strangers has an appeal.
I've also had/seen sex in the shower rooms of gyms; this would probably be considered "public" and thus inappropriate, but on a couple of occasions it was difficult to resist. (Once at university I was seen by another student, and I stopped immediately...a few years later at a YMCA I was caught by a staff person, who joined in.)
Some guy having a wank on a street corner is definitely public and definitely inappropriate. It could easily be considered harassment as @flozen suggests above.
@citronvert said in gay porn videos atmosphere.....:
it seemed to me that the atmosphere of many videos from the North West is really different from that of the South East.
Bonjour, M. Citronvert!
If you are speaking of the different atmospheres of videos made in the États-Unis, I think the differences come from professional quality and social class/status. Here are my thoughts:
The professional porn industry in the US is centered mostly in the south part of California, where there are beaches, mountains, but above all studio quality lighting, cameras, and money to pay actors and production staff. There is also some professional production in other parts of the country.
Smaller studios, which could be just one person with a camera and a a light, might operate in parts of the US where costs are lower and actors are cheaper. These can be videos with "redneck" characters, defined as more rural, less educated, and without the polish or looks needed to enter the more professional porn industry. This is often found in what the US calls "the South," but is really the South East as you have said. These videos can have appeal even among upper classes/more educated people.
These difference don't apply as much to home-made videos, such as an 18-year-old guy making a video of himself se branler. Sometimes the background of his room or other location can suggest social class or economic status.
Other members of this forum might have additional ideas.
@twinkerzzz said in POWER USER clarification:
so you seem to be saying my searches will continue to display dvd-r content (vob file) and also allow me to download them even tho my 'power user' status dipped to 'user' status ? Could you confirm ?
I'm not an expert or an insider here; I was only speculating on why the "no DVD for new users" rule might be there.
But I might make a suggestion: If your ratio is in trouble, I would hold off downloading from any large torrents that you won't be able to seed back--a DVD posted a long time ago with no other leechers won't give you the opportunity to upload it back.
To pump up your ratio, I suggest two things:
Good luck!
@twinkerzzz I think the logic behind not letting new or low-ratio users download DVD's was that those were large torrents (at the time), 4-7 GB each...and that could irreparably sink someone's ratio if they weren't careful.
But now, with fast connection speeds, high-resolution cameras and screens, and cheap disk storage space, it's not unusual to see torrents with 10-50 GB of content, and these aren't restricted just to power users. If the intention of the "no DVD downloads until you're settled in" rule was to prevent people from screwing up their ratio, perhaps a size-based restriction would work better in today's environment.
(There are indeed times when size matters...)
@lololulu19 said in Rude people!:
When the door closed to the restroom, a voice came from the stall.. "Dude! Where did you go!" It was the OTHER guy still in the stall! Both of them were in there together for 15 minutes!
You could have said, "I'm right here, open the stall door."
@Kekkaishi I've never responded to this sort of thing in a public toilet, although I have in gym showers/changing rooms.
As for "negative consequences"--there's the remote possibility that it might be a sting operation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig_scandal for a story about 15 years ago when a US senator got arrested for toilet cruising at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. He claims it was all a misunderstanding, blah, blah, blah...but when people checked his senate office internet server logs, they found searches earlier that day for "gay cruising Minneapolis," so the guy had this all planned out.
As an amusing side note, for several years following that incident I would frequently connect flights through that airport. The toilet where the senator was busted became quite the tourist attraction.
@asianslut Another useful tool in Windows is Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer, available at https://funk.eu/amt/ . (It passes all the virus screens as being clean, and no, I don't get a commission, because it's free.)
The interface is a bit clunky (but not hard to use), and it has the advantage that you can take a whole folder of video files, drag it into the AMT window, and it will automatically make a preview for each video file, with the same name as the video file, but with a .jpg extension.
This is really handy if you are uploading a torrent with lots of video files--it lets users preview each video and then decide what they want to download. (I wish every multi-video-file torrent would do this.) A recent torrent upload at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=621a84ace470aa893f627acd8bc2072f2b01bc20a40d0974 seems to have used this software.
The default settings will then be applied to each video file, and that works OK for this purpose. It can be amusing, though...in the torrent above, one of the videos was very short so the preview file had only one image--a super close-up of the guy's dick head. One could do worse...
