@bi4smooth said in Help me with this torrent.:

Just a note: there is no value in deleting the DATA when you remove a torrent to re-download it.

Good point--I think I was on autopilot when I typed this. Deleting torrent + data is my default when cleaning out my torrent data folder after I've archived any downloads to another location. In the case of a "stillborn" torrent, there wouldn't have been any data so nothing was lost.

On a related note, a couple of days ago I had another one of these "won't start" torrents. I was reluctant to delete it and start over as I had carefully selected about 10% of the many files for downloading, and I didn't want to do that over again. I let things be, and after two days or so the torrent started up and I got the stuff I wanted. That's a longer delay than usual, but patience paid off.

(Who was it that said, "Lord, give me patience, and give it to me NOW?")

@eobox91103 what option did you choose when deleting the torrent?

I use uTorrent with Windows 10: I right-click on the torrent in the client listing, and select "Remove and delete torrent + data." Then I'll download the torrent again and start over.

With other torrent clients and/or a Mac, it's probably similar, but perhaps another user can weigh in if this doesn't work for you.

I've had this happen a few times. Often it fix itself in a while (maybe an hour or two) and start seeding. Other times, I've deleted the torrent and then downloaded it again and it works fine.

@kulmel36 If you didn't choose to download all of the files in the torrent (i.e., if you de-selected some that you didn't want), that tracker software will consider you to be leeching the torrent even though you have downloaded the bits that you want. This will take up one of your download slots. There's no way around this other than to remove this torrent from your active torrent list, but that also means that you won't be able to seed to other users and get credit for that.

Shane Hirch

Shane Hirch is also casted as Ramon Macchio, Honza Onus, and other names; see https://pbc.xxx/wiki/Honza_Onus .

@kalayaan said in Who are these two guys?:

That is Masyn Thorne and Joe Prior from Man Royale "Dick Too Big For Anal"

Thanks very much! You are "Hero of the Day."

I thought the guy with glasses might be Johnny Hands, and the guy with longer hair might be Justin Owen, but the tattoos and birthmarks don't correspond.

You get extra credit (or at least my appreciation) if you can identify this video, and any others with these guys on the site. (This stills are from a low quality video from a tube site, called siimply "Bros Having Fun.")

@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.

I re-read your OP, and I think I misunderstood what you were asking. I can't edit my post, so I'll try again.

If the torrent uploader neglected to include a folder of thumbnails/previews, there's no way to get that out of the system. You might add a comment to the torrent page like, "Thank you for sharing your material. It would be more useful to members if you included a folder of thumbnails/previews. There is good software for doing this available at https://funk.eu/amt/ ."

@blissful1011 Hi blissful, and welcum I think you have two questions:

How to download just one file from many in a torrent? This depends on what torrent client (software) you're using. I use uTorrent; when I open a torrent file it gives me a list of all the files available in the torrent, and I can tick/untick a box next to each file. Other torrent clients are probably similar. I find that if I download only a part of large collection of files, I will seed that material very quickly, and it helps my ratio. One thing to remember, though, is that even if you complete the download of your selected files, the system will still consider you as a leecher on that torrent--and this can be a problem if you have a small limit on the number of torrents that you can have downloading at once. You can find your limit of downloaded torrents by going to https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php#96.

How to know which file to download from a collection with non-descriptive file names? This is often a problem. A good torrent uploader will include a folder of thumbnail images from the videos in the torrent. This is very easy to do, but many uploaders don't do it. I share your frustration. Sometimes I'll download just a few files (usually the smaller ones) to see if the material is something I like.

@ichbins I suggest that you check the torrent listing frequently, and download a freeleech torrent when it appears--especially one that shows a lot of leechers. Even if it's not something that you want to keep, you will get upload credit for whatever you seed.

@remiliano said in Can someone help me get a gay-torrent.org invite? Please :

i am looking for a gay-torrent.org invite.

There's gay-torrents.net (I don't know how invitations work there) and gay-torrents.org (if you send me your email in private chat I can get one for you).

@vexbit said in Double ID on URLs:

I've actually figured it out.

Clever sleuthing on your part! I can remember that some years back not every website was hospitable to omitting the www: If the full address was www.sitename.tld, and one manually entered simply sitename.tld, the DNS system (or something like that) would get all confused. I think that got cleaned up, even if there are some interesting artifacts as you have discovered.

We all know where the Big Apple is. But do we know where the Minneapolis?

One hundred years ago everyone owned a horse, and only the rich had cars. Today, everyone has a car, and only the rich own horses. The stables have turned.

Bread is like the sun: I rises in the yeast, and sets in the waist.

Will glass coffins be popular? Remains to be seen.

Orion’s belt is a big waist of space. (OK, that wasn’t so good…only gets three stars.)

We should legalise cannabis, and use the taxes on it to repair the roads. We could call this Operation Pothole.

February 22, 2022 (2/22/22, or 22.2.22) was on a Tuesday, so perhaps it should have been called 2’s day.

To the guy who stole my antidepressants: I hope you’re happy now.

I got the words “Jacuzzi” and “yakuza” confused. Now I’m in hot water with the Japanese mafia.

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.

From "EverybodyWiki" (https://en.everybodywiki.com/Pavel_Novotný_(actor)), results not guaranteed:

In March 2009, Novotný was arrested at the Havana airport in Cuba, with a traveling companion named Zdeněk Tovara, reportedly a male prostitute, for, among other things, insulting Cuban leaders Fidel Castro and Raul Castro. Their trial was in November 2009. They faced five years in Cuban prison. Entertainer George Michael supplied legal and financial aid for them until they were released to the Czech Republic in May 2010.

I did some quick web searching on both his stage name (Pavel Novotny) and birth name (Jaroslav Jirík) and didn't find anything recent. He seems to have faded into history.

One can NEVER have too many friends...

...especially if one is renting a gaytor: "No, no, @bi4, don't do it! Or at the very least, don't let it suck you off."

My dear, bestiality content is banned from this site. Besides, it sounds rather uncomfortable.
