@john32123666 That's exactly what I did to test your theory. The first ten to twelve started downloading completely, while the rest were in a grey (not red) queue waiting for some of the first ones to finish before they started. So there's no harm downloading a bunch of new torrents at one, knowing that the system will eventually get to them.

On a more general note, I can understand that there's some satisfaction at quickly answering a question or posed on the forum. But it's important that (a) the answer be correct, and (b) the explanation be understandable to most users, who are not IT specialists and probably speak only English. Please give this some thought.,

@john32123666 A couple of clarifications: A client can have up to 100 torrents listed as leeching, as long as most of them have downloaded everything the user wants to download. Suddenly adding 20 new torrents will put some of them in a queue until the first 10 or 12 download what you want, and then start downloading the rest. There's no need to keep checking back to see if those slots are open.

Also, in uTorrent 3.5.5 (and perhaps other versions or clients), the queued downloads are grey, not red.

@john32123666 said in Torrent stalled - Help:

12 is max leeching d/l that I'm aware of ...

Per the site rules (https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php, at the bottom:

Users who have donated to the site are allowed 200 torrents at one time.

I recommend using @MrMazda's link for uTorrent 2.2.1. I use 3.5.5 only because that was the easiest fix for me when I was in 3.6 hell. Everything pretty much works now and I'm reluctant to do another version change, but if I were starting from scratch I'd go with 2.2.1.

@tiatbdna4 said in Not Counting Your Shared Ratio:

I only started uploaded torrents 3 months ago

Note that the amount uploaded is your total upload to other users, whether it's a torrent you've created, or one posted by someone else that you've downloaded, and then you're sharing back (uploading) some of that data. It would be possible to have a great ration if a user never posted a torrent, but seeded back lots of what they did download.

Most of my share ratio comes from torrents that I've download only part of (maybe one file out of five), and somehow the system hooks me up with lots of downloaders and I can get a share ratio on that torrent of 50 or greater.. I do upload my own torrents every few weeks, but they usually result in a share ratio (for that torrent) in a ratio of 5 to 10.

@dat1hungdude If you go to the torrent home page ( https://www.gaytor.rent/ ), you'll see a list of users online. You can mouse over the usernames and see their ratio and amount of upload and download. I didn't look at every user, but mousing over one line I saw users at 250 TB and 450 TB. I felt like a slacker with only 36 TB uploaded.

I also noticed that many "high upload" users tend to have share ratios in the 1-2 range, meaning they must also download a lot of stuff. I tend to be selective about what I download.

@brettw97 To install uTorrent 3.5.5 (to replace uTorrent 3.6), I recommend this link: https://www.filesoul.com/software/uTorrent/3-5-5-45271-for-PC-Windows/download/ . There are some links on "old software version" sites that say they will give you 3.5.5, but actually are 3.6.

I suggest that the user be asked to make a single-torrent collection of a bunch of these small files, rather than making each one its own torrent. They do share a common theme, and the new collection torrent could simply be called "Big White Boys" with a few screen grabs for examples. (Or, they could do a thumbnail sheet for each video, but that might be overkill.)

@frostycab said in Do we get seed points by posting in this forum?:

Just thought I'd bump this as it's been well over a year now and the information on seed points still hasn't been updated.

A rule cleanup would seem to be in order. There's also rule 9.2, which states,

• The description [page of a torrent] must contain a list of all video files or titles including, by at least copy/paste the torrent’s file list.

Almost nobody does this, and it would be very clumsy for posts from fan sites with 100+ files.

... according to one study; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/17/glyphosate-weedkiller-sperm .

Perhaps I'll have a wank on the lawn and see what happens.

@ethanjackman I'm sorry that you're still having problems. All I can suggest is perhaps a full restart/reboot of your computer. Perhaps others on here with a Mac will have a better suggestion.

It must be frustrating to not get new porn. If there's something on here that you want, I can download it and then send you a cloud link. Let me know through a private message.

@ethanjackman It's just a matter of stopping the torrent software, not unlike closing out an application like Microsoft Word. I use uTorrent, I go to the "File" drop down menu in the upper left of the window, select "Exit," and then uTorrent closes and disappears from the screen. I then wait about a minute or so for any related computer processes to also stop, and then restart uTorrent by double-clicking the application icon (which I have in my Windows tray), or finding the uTorrent.exe file in the programs folder and double clicking on that.

I have a PC; if you have a Mac, it's probably quite similar, but maybe another Gentle User can offer help.

@ethanjackman I find that after a restart of the client, some torrents still show up as red for a while, but given a few hours they straighten out. (Well, maybe "straighten" isn't the best word to use....)

@iridium85 Some time back I would occasionally look at gayboystube, but after a while became bored with their content. I remember several short postings by "David2004" that would be about 20 seconds of video of a young guy, and then a slide with a web address that would automatically redirect to a signup page for a pay-per-view site. It was pure clickbait.

It's possible that there's a longer video with this model, but you'd probably have to join (by paying) several sites to find it.

This happens to me (and others) when starting up uTorrent, but it seems to fix itself within a few hours. See https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/64831/most-of-my-files-are-red/21 for comments from others (including myself) who have had the same problem. The moderators are aware of this "feature" and it may get fixed eventually.

@tnar said in Having problems doing a large upload:

Any special characters in file names?

I don't see any special characters, but that has tripped me up before, and I appreciate the reminder. I'll fiddle around with creating .torrent files with various subsets of the whole collection--not for uploading to this site, but as a diagnostic tool.

I'm thinking now that uTorrent needs a lot of RAM to make the complicated torrent, and even though the machine has lots of it, perhaps it's not being made available. (Yes, it's a Microsoft box. I'm sure it's a feature, not a bug.)

A friend of mine sent me a large collection of videos from a fan site--188 files and 56 GB. I made thumbnail files for each video, so the resul is a big folder with all the videos and a sub-folder of the thumbnails. When I try to make the torrent file within uTorrent 3.5.5, the progress bar gets about 25% across, and then uTorrent crashes.

I've been able to make torrents for big uploads before; the largest being 80 GB with 24 files, and everything worked fine. I think the problem must be with the number of files. Any suggestions on how I can manage this? If it's too many files, I could break it into pieces, but that creates a lot of litter in the torrent listing.

While the material isn't my favourite (it's a shaved twink), there's a torrent on here with just images of the guy. That one has over 500 downloads--so I think people are interested in him. My folder has wanking, sucking, and fucking.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Update: After a couple of hours, it seemed to heal itself. All is well.

I hadn't noticed any problems (with uTorrent 3.5.5)...then I saw the banner on the torrents page saying we should restart our clients. I did that, and now everything with a gtor.rent tracker is red. Oddly, about half of the old torrents on gt.ru are green. (Stuff from five other sites is all green after the restart.)

I'm happy to let things simmer for a day, but to borrow a line from The King and I, "is a puzzlement."

I would be careful with "Man's Best" and/or "Smiling Boys" material--the few bits of it I've seen suggest that some models are under 18.
