This gets stranger and stranger...

I recently freeleeched an old torrent that I uploaded a long time ago--it was dead, and I thought it was a good one, so I wanted to give it some new life.

It was not promoted to the top of the search list with a recycle icon, which I thought was SOP for freeleech torrents...and I was concerned that it wouldn't have any visibility. Nevertheless, very soon quite a few users found it and successfully downloaded it. And, it hasn't been deleted...so freeleeching is not always the kiss of death.

I am reminded of what Nobel winning physicist Richard Feynman once said: "The Universe is not as strange as we imagine; it's stranger than we can imagine."

@frostycab said in Idea to greatly eliminate incomplete uploads / seeding problems - FEEDBACK PLEASE!:

torrent sites are only able to operate based on the fact that they don't host any copyrighted material.

This is absolutely on target.

Case closed.

I don't have an answer, but in this one the herringbone wood floor places it almost certainly in eastern Europe.

@kalayaan said in Recycle Icon ♺:

Only mods can recycle (bumping at the top of the list) a torrent
Once an original torrent got duplicated and was reported, mod will then remove the dupe and "bumped" the original torrent with the recycle icon before the title.

I understand that process. There are also some oldies but goodies that are active on the system that newer members might enjoy seeing. I could post a new torrent of them by re-encoding in a different format, but that sounds like a "duplicate in drag" and against the spirit of the rules. Is there a way to promote older material, or do we wait for them to die a natural death?

Not sure what fantasy world you're living in.

I think you're probably referring to the fantasy world of other posters in this thread; I'm very aware that everything is copyrighted.

The only stuff I own the copyright to are "home movies" I've made with my boyfriend. If I ever posted those, the consequences to me would make capital punishment look like a parking fine.

In the (highly unlikely) event that this fellow won the 2024 election in the US, he wouldn't become their president until January 2025.

and I am not seeing these torrents that are supposedly being taken down.

Ah, I get it: You don't see what isn't here. I must be having the same problem.

If only we had some super power so that we could see what was gone...

@vanman said in Copyright Enfringement - Information:

everything shared is copyrighted

Yes. That's right.

It was produced by someone who has given permission to reproduce or share

Really? I doubt that.

Seriously man.

I won't presume to speak for brother @ianfontinell, but I believe he is serious, accurate, and correct.

@animewatcha-0 said in LastPass has 2nd security breach in 3 months:

This is one of the reasons why i don't use password managers aside from my own mental one.

Ditto...and I use a different password for every site (be it torrent, bank, brokerage, airline, etc.).

I don't know how password managers work (and I have no interest in learning), but they might be helpful for those people who use the same username and password for every online log-in. A former colleague at my firm did that, and got massively screwed over as a result.

They might not be scenic, but they're great for holding lube.

A few thoughts here:

When you say "escort I found online," I presume that you have actually met this person in the flesh. Falling for pictures and text on a computer screen is a ticket to disaster.

Also, be sure that the escort's feelings for you are reciprocated and genuine. Escorts are in the business of making their clients happy, and will lavish compliments about one's body, personality, sex technique, choice of cologne, etc. This is theatre, not reality. It's pleasant in the moment, but it's not real.

Finally, one cannot expect exclusivity. If you "fall for" the guy and start dating him, know that he's still going to be having sex with other people. If that triggers jealousy on your part, this is a situation to be avoided.

On a personal note, a couple of years ago I started dating a guy I met at the gym. I soon found out that he moonlighted with an escort agency that provided companionship for women. Most of his appointments were as arm candy for dinner, theatre, etc., but some of the time it would include sex. He was indeed quite gay, and very much a bottom, but in his own words, "I have to pay the rent." I suspect that I would have been jealous had his clients been men...but instead I only asked that he wash up thoroughly after his appointments.

@ianfontinell I wouldn't presume to speak for our brother Al, but until then, here's a famous American dick:

To borrow a line from The King and I, Is a puzzlement.

I got a notice yesterday that a torrent I posted was taken down...but I built that torrent by taking three "parts" of a story that were downloaded through three separate torrents, and then merging them into a single file as it was much better to view that way. (I gave credit to the three other torrents.)

Those other three torrents are still live on the system, which is a good thing. But it's very strange.

@Alhomonym Given "homonym" in your screen name, I couldn't resist.

@Alhomonym Well, cum

@krad3434 One way to help a ratio is to download a new torrent and then select only a few (maybe 10% by volume) of the files to actually be downloaded to your computer. (This is easy to do with uTorrent by unticking boxes; it's probably similar with other clients.)

This way you'll be among the first to get that material, and then be a "source" for other downloaders who are likely trying to grab all the files. It also increases the probability that you'll be left with something playable if the torrent is taken down quickly.

The only disadvantage to this strategy is that a torrent for which you haven't downloaded all the files will still take up one of your download slots, even if you have all the stuff that you selected. After the initial surge of people downloading from that torrent, you might want to delete it if you have a small number of allowable slots.

@pupkinvasya Thanks very much for decoding this!

Speaking of Netflix, I recently finished season 2 of "Young Royals." It was quite good.

If you are new to this franchise, I recommend starting with season 1.

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the last episode of season 2 ended with some mild ambiguity that could leave open the door to a season 3. I hope that such is eventually produced.

@pupkinvasya Thank you very much for the tip. <I did not plan for a double-entendre on "tip," but I'll take credit for it anyway.>

I did a search for "Elite" on my PC, and got quite a few hits:

All of these (save for the bottom center "Wednesday") seem to be part of the overall Elite series, as they have the same branding logo. Are these bits from various seasons, or independent short stories? The one at the left called "Samuel Omar" has a pleasant image
