@ben351500:

I also notice that folks will still download these torrents, thus rewarding the crappy download. It would be nice if all downloaders decided to boycott such uploads; that would discourage the practice.

It baffles me that people will download a torrent that says only "hot sex" in a description, and has no pictures.  I would never do that.  I'm tempted to report that torrent as not following the rules, but if 10 suckers (!) have already downloaded it, my argument that "this crap violates the rules" seems to lose force.

It's a pity–and a fairly recent phenomenon.  I don't remember this being a problem a few years ago.  Perhaps memory has drawn its merciful veil.

@Gasparzinho:

It's a problem that happens almost every time that someone upload something like that. Instead of putting at least the name of the file like " me and Josh fucking in the morning " to help us who download the thing know what we are getting, no, they put like this : uwsy9768Kll.mp4 LIKE ???????? WTF this need to stop and they need to do it right. Some guys put the little description or just fuck01.mp4 which is ok because helps but literally post 25 GB of files , all desorganized and to us even download almost all just to find the real fuck parts is awful and really insulting. No everybody can donate and gain a lot of GB to download freely. I hope someone who works on this site or even the owner,put some rules and be more restricted about this. Thank you. If u agree with me, plus responded.

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of really crappy torrents uploaded recently–huge collections of undescribed files, mis-named files like mention, huge torrents that never seeded completely, and/or no descriptions or photographs of the content.

I used to think, "we should appreciate what uploaders do," but it seems this recent epidemic of garbage is driven by people wanting only to increase their upload traffic.  But flagrant violations of the rules should not be acceptable.  I don't think the moderators can spend their time on this problem, as I'm sure there's lots of other stuff to do.  Perhaps leaving comments on the torrent's page will get the uploader's attention.

@eobox91103:

I'm wondering what makes a torrent show up as new on the Search and Browse pages, but actually it's been here for a while and they're being re-announced with the recycling logo.

On RARE OCCASIONS (note that we really don't encourage this, but we DO make friendly exceptions), we may honor a request by a member made via PM (and rarer still, via the helpdesk, but we really hate getting asked to do this in the helpdesk, ok?) and will help a member out, when the situation is justified (by researching the torrent status / history) and promote a torrent when requested (and maybe add those two other actions mentioned above)

Sorry, this function is NOT available to members, LOL, and I'm thinking you might have been hoping it would be, based on your OP.

Thanks very much for your complete answer!  I wasn't looking to have this be a member-invoked function; I think this would lead to chaos with a flood of "promotions."  We already see some chaos with member-available photo posting.

I was just curious, as occasionally one of my own uploads will get promoted.  I'm always happy when this happens, because it means more people will be able to see my uploads, which are of course only the very finest material. 

I'm wondering what makes a torrent show up as new on the Search and Browse pages, but actually it's been here for a while and they're being re-announced with the recycling logo.  This is a handy feature to let users know of some "hidden gems" that might not otherwise be found.

I'm putting this in the Forum rather than asking the Help Desk because this topic might be of interest to others.  Or maybe not…your mileage may vary.

@pols1337:

How did this OP go from an article that factually identified the origins of HIV as chimpanzees in West AFrica to … "it's man-made"?

If you want to say crazy shit on forums, then at least pretend to cite an article that actually backs up your claims LOL.

Well put, but expecting someone prone to conspiracy theories to be rational is, um, optimistic at best.

Sometimes I'm only interested in a few of the files in a multi-file torrent.  Once I have those, I often keep the torrent active so I can seed other users–so my user profile will show me as leeching lots of torrents, even though I'm no longer leeching files, just seeding them.  Is there a down side to having my statistics look "bad" this way?  It seems to be working out fine.

On a related note (and maybe off-topic for this thread), my ratio is about 4.0, thanks to moving back to a city and having a high-speed connection.  Am I running up the score here and not letting other users with low ratios seed more volume?

@oof:

Subject pretty much does say everything, do I get seeder credit for seeding freeleech torrents? I have over ~3gb seeded and it still isn't reflected on my account even though the tracker is working and I can see the correct torrents actively being reported as seeding.

My understanding is that you do get credit for your seeding.  To get the most benefit from this, select freeleech torrents that have the most number of leechers on it ( https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?search=&incldead=0&inname=1&infn=1&infl=1&orderby=leeches&sort=desc ) –that way lots of people will be hungry for your seed (so to speak) and you should be on the way to ratio repair.

Once you have a good ratio and can download non-freeleech torrents, pick a brand new torrent that has many files in it.  Download just a few of those--maybe only 10% of the file size--and once you have those, you'll be seeding them very rapidly and raise your ratio quickly.

@Pawpcorn:

If you REALLY want to take a competitive approach to try and improve your ratio, you'd constantly REFRESH the Torrent Search function, and find only BRAND NEW torrents that have JUST BEEN UPLOADED, that you think will become popular torrents… and download only THOSE torrents in the first minutes of being offered here.

Also, I've found that if there's a very new torrent containing many files, and I download just a few of them, my upload ratio on that torrent will be very large.  I was in "ratio basement" a while back after a disk crash, and this saved me.

My first (long-term) partner didn't like porn at all–he said it was "boring" and "useless."  But I was much less experienced than he was, and watched porn (on my own) as an instructional tool.  I know that what I learned from these "training films" improved our sex life and our relationship.

@Kekkaishi:

Over the years I've used many brands of nose trimmers.
They all have been somewhat not good, even when you buy a familiar brand….
It takes at least 7-10 minutes per nostril to achieve somewhat good result.
and the battery is trash in every one I had.

Can you recommend a really good "premium" nose trimmer in both being able to trim hair and battery?
I am actually willing to pay a high price!

I have a "Panasonic ER-GN30" that I got at a discount store, probably not more that $10-$15 US.  It takes at most 30 seconds/side; I use it a couple of times per week and replace the battery every 3-4 months.  It also works well on my ears.

Of course, everyone's hair is different, so…your mileage may vary, products may have settled in shipment, don't use if allergic to any ingredients, keep out of reach of children, etc.

There are a lot of video editing programs that can convert a DVD from one resolution to another–in this case, probably 480i to 720p.  But all that does is average and smear the pixels to the higher pixel count, but it doesn't add any clarity to the image.  Depending on the quality of the software, it might even degrade it.

I have two HD televisions, as well as the 4K computer monitor I'm staring at right now.  In my experience, televisions and monitors with fixed resolution provide a higher quality picture when they're fed DVD video at its native resolution and do the upconverting themselves.

I wouldn't do it on camera.

Several years ago I met a porn actor (I wouldn't call him a "star" since he only did a few films) and we sort-of-dated for a couple of months.  He enjoyed having sex with me as a natural, human event, rather than stopping and starting at a director's whim, and doing it under hot lights with lots of film crew around.

@blackwing:

Do they still make lambskin condoms?

Yes, but they're pretty much useless for male-male sex.

While the natural skin (actually intestinal lining) condoms are more sensitive than latex condoms, they are porous. The pores in them are small enough to block passage of sperm cells and thus to prevent pregnancy, nut they're large enough to pass HIV and hepatitis B virus.  The reason condoms are used in male-male sex is to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections–and since lambskin condoms are not effective at that, they're pointless.

Some guys have a condom fetish, such as filling up condoms with cum or whatever.  A lambskin condom could be used for that, although again they are porous and would eventually leak.  But the bottom (!) line is that they shouldn't be used if one is concerned about preventing infection.

@xxxygc:

I'm getting a lot of stalled torrents when I start downloading them. I'm using qbittorrent v4.1.2, any suggestions on how to fix this would be great. Thanks

I'm not exactly sure how you define "stalled," but I find that many torrents seem to take some time to start downloading.  I think it's a "feature" of the system, not of users, because sometimes there can be a dozen or more download-peers, like me, all "connected" but still at 0.0%.  Things eventually get moving after a few minutes, or sometimes as much as a half hour.  I can only recall one time when everyone seemed stalled out for days (and all at 0.0%), and I deleted the torrent and moved on.

So, bottom line is I don't think you need to/can tweak anything with your system…just be patient and the stuff will come.

@lololulu19:

That pissed me off.  It seems to me that if someone else adds pictures to an existing post, they should be appended to the torrent.. not replace the picture I associated with it.

A "feature" of the system is that newly uploaded pictures (often garbage) go the the front of the list–they should go to the end.

Also, perhaps one can use the "report" function to tell a moderator that there are bogus pictures added.  The system can probably tell who added the garbage and send the abuser a nasty note.

Perhaps a Moderator could weigh in here.

Semi-related question:  Why do so many Japanese films have guys (usually the tops) wearing sunglasses or weird goggles?  It's rather distracting from what might otherwise be a nice scene.

I like one with "extra headroom" so the end of my cock slips around inside the condom–it provides more sensation.

@fuckall:

you have to change your life style. Change your diet and start working out (otherwise its the "yo-yo effect")

Quite true, but it's a struggle for me:  I have a high-pressure long-hours job that I truly love, and there's not always time or energy for the gym.

I try to be moderate with food, but I used to be a professional chef and I love to cook/eat…and I've been single for a while now, and many purchased items are portioned for two people rather than one...and I don't have the discipline to save half as leftovers.

One thing that does help is to put a few pictures of really in-shape guys on my fridge door.  It tends to slow me down reaching for the wrong things

I like a full bush (especially if there's a happy trail), probably because it reminds me of those middle school/high school days when the arrival of every new pubic hair was a cause for joy.

I feel sort of creepy playing with a guy who's completely shaved…I don't like thinking I'm messing with a prepubescent 11 year-old.  But to each his own:  Whether one likes shaved, trimmed, or full, there are LOTS of guys in each category.

@newbieff:

Even I am handsome and great body! But it is the same! Gays approached me, but I don't like ones approaching me, ones I like, i don't know how to approach them!

You'll know when it's the right time to do something for the first time.  I was 24 before I did anything with a guy, and even then it was only mutual handjobs…and then another year before I tried oral.  I think I was 28 before I fucked.

I think some of my "slow start" was because I didn't want to connect with guys, much less have sex with them, unless I thought they were Mr. Totally Perfect.  Needless to say, life was a bit lonely for me.  But soon I learned that I could be friends with other gay guys for friendship's sake, not simply as a prelude to sex.

Still, I don't worry about having "lost time."  I've had two wonderful relationships, several more boyfriends, and if I just want sex for its own sake, it's definitely available...but that has less appeal as I get older.
