@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.

@frostycab If it's deleted for cause, and then re-uploaded by the same person, I would think their upload privileges would be suspended.

Perhaps it could be put in a new "comedy" category: The guy seems to be sitting on a bidet, which is an unusual posturing. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing bidets in other films or clips on here, despite many of them originating in Europe.

@frostycab said in What is up with this video???:

like an unflushable turd

Ten points for a very apt simile! The situation does seem odd: While the video doesn't look at all interesting to me, it wouldn't seem to violate any rules, and it doesn't appear to have been released through professional channels that would raise a DMCA issue.

(Going slightly off-topic, I don't see the appeal in sucking a dildo unless one is practicing for the real act...but at least a dildo with a large base is safer that using a banana: A friend of mine is an emergency department physician, and over the years he has removed several bananas that broke apart while a person was "practicing" oral sex. He would recommend to the patients afterwards that they use a proper dildo, or if too embarrassed to buy one, try a cucumber.)

@tnar (and all others): If you click on a user's name, it will bring up their profile page. One can then click on the three vertical dots, and select "Ignore User," which I have done for a few users (including one beginning with "L") so that I don't have to read anything she/he/it posts. It's always the same thing, and I don't need to read it again.

As a related convenient feature of the forums, one can also block specific forum categories, which I have also done.

@ckslad I switched to boxers when I was at university (age 18) but went back to briefs a few years later because the sensation of things "swinging free" caused too much arousal for usual daytime tasks. I remain a briefs person to this day.

@frostycab said in DMCA strikes and the 90-day suspension:

It's right below the link for the helpdesk in the support dropdown

Thanks; I see it now, but what an odd place to put it. I would have simply appended it to the "Rules" page. New users might not know what "DMCA" means, and could easily miss this stuff.

A good maxim for web content is "Don't just post something so that users can find it; post it so that users can't miss it."

SEE : https://www.gaytor.rent/dmca.php

This is interesting information--and new to me. Is it linked to anywhere in the rules or elsewhere? Having a page of policy that nobody can get to isn't helpful.

@john32123666 No, Easter is when Jesus comes out of the tomb...and if he sees his shadow, we have 40 more days of Lent.

I stumbled across a nice "coming of age" film on a tube site. Films in that genre are often clones of each other and thus rather boring...but I found Fertilizer (yes, that's the name) to be quite charming. I was going to upload it as a torrent, and then found it on YouTube...so you can save ratio. The link is
