@john32123666 Follow-up: I found that my uTorrent had installed version 3.6. By going back to 3.5.5 everything now works fine.

It seems that version 3.6 added a tracker "wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz" to every torrent, which would try to update every 2 minutes. Going back to 3.5.5, this tracker still shows up on every torrent but with a status of "invalid URL."

This might have been the problem--having this weird tracker on every torrent, constantly updated, may have swamped the client. Users of other torrent clients might check to see if they have been automatically update to a newer version with a similar "feature," and if so, consider going back to an earlier version.

@PojuLover Follow-up: That worked perfectly. I owe you a big favour

@PojuLover Thank you very much! I thought I was using 3.5.5, but now I see that it automatically installed 3.6, so I'll go back to 3.5.5.

@john32123666 Thank you very much! If you hear a loud explosion from central Canada, you'll know it didn't work...

Count me in (meaning, out) too. What's weird is that I'm part of four different torrent sites, and a very few torrents from each site seem to be working. But most of them appear to be stuck trying to update the tracker. They show zero seeds and zero peers, even on a new freeleech torrent that shows dozens of each on the search site.

FWIW, I'm using uTorrent 3.5.5. I know uT 3.x is a piece of doodoo, but my antivirus software won't let me download an earlier version to replace it.

@PojuLover said in Tracker not works - unable to connect to tracker:

since I use µTorrent 2.2.1 ... downloads and seeds perfectly and instantly,

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Is there any trick to installing the older version on top of the newer one? Will it keep settings, and then delete the newer version? I don't want to lose everything while doing this.

@eobox91103 Would you give me a hand getting back up?

Getting you up sounds fun...

didn't use the site for months and my download rights are now stripped! just like me no on the bed

I suggest contacting the help desk at https://www.gaytor.rent/helpdesk.php

@Randevouz90 Welcome! And well-cum.

Four other Hogan's Heroes cast members were of Jewish heritage--those playing Col. Klink, Sgt. Schultz, Maj. Hochstetter, and Gen. Burkhalter. Hollywood is a strange place.

These questions go away if one is careful with vocabulary. "Gay, bi, & straight," as colloquial terms for "homosexual, bisexual, & heterosexual," refer to what people a person is generally attracted to. These terms are generalised categories that don't fully describe the variety of sexual attraction.

The four behaviours you mention are that--behaviours, or activities. They may bring pleasure and/or revulsion, but they are things people do. Psychologically "straight" men can experience pleasure when their prostate is stimulated by a dildo, a strap-on, or a penis in their rectum (as we find in lots of "gay" porn). Having said that, many such men can have a socially-conditioned dislike of those activities. (Putting this in colloquial language, a guy can enjoy getting fucked in the ass regardless of whether he's gay or straight.) Similarly, psychologically "gay" men can experience pleasure when their penis is stimulated inside a vagina.

As for "sodomy:" This is a legal term, but there is no crisp definition. The traditional definition in law is "unnatural sexual connection." This has been fine-tuned a bit in recent decades to "oral or anal copulation between humans, especially those of the same sex." (Note that this definition would cover oral sex between a married male-female couple. People are often surprised at this.) In the US, sodomy (however it is defined) cannot be prosecuted if performed by consenting adults in private. (See Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003])

Is heterosexual sex outside of marriage sodomy?
Is heterosexual sex which employs contraceptives, sodomy?

If one considers these activities to be "unnatural," then they would be sodomy. Few prosecutors would follow that path.

(It is worth noting that extra-marital sexual activity is not criminalised in Europe or Canada, but is a felony is some US states. It is rarely prosecuted.)

@flozen said in Virgin Atlantic changes dress code:

Could a frequent flyer check this out and report back,

I have "known" several flight attendants, and I don't recall any piercings.

Perhaps I should do more research.

@lololulu19 said in Why is porn blocked on the internet?:

Just because we don't LIKE something doesn't mean we have the right to eliminate it

WiFi in a public place is a service owned by that place (e.g., a restaurant). They're paying for it, and they "have the right" to make the rules.

If someone wants to make their own rules, they can use their own connection to the internet--such as through a mobile phone.

@Xezak Welcome! I hope you enjoy being part of the site.

There are probably some specific help pages/comment threads that can answer your question in detail, and I'm sure another Gentle User will step in here and point you there.

For now, let's look at some very general concepts: None of the thousands (millions?) of videos or images featured on the torrent pages are stored by the gaytor.rent website. Instead, individual users (like me, and now you) have some of them on their computers. Think of this website as a "matchmaker," connecting your computer to other computers so files can be shared back and forth between users.

The small "torrent file" you've downloaded from this site isn't a video. It's sort of like a passport that lets your computer connect to the other users so that you can download video material directly from them, and then the video (a much larger file) will show up on your computer.

This requires having a software application running on your computer (a "torrent client") that does the actual connecting-to-others and sharing files. I'm afraid that I don't know anything about iPads, but other users here do and they can probably point you to a web page that has the directions you need. The setup can be tricky, but if you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask questions in the forum. All of us had to learn this stuff when we got started.

Good luck, and again, welcome!

I don't think it's anything sinister or complicated:

• Public spaces: McDickalds or Starfucks probably doesn't want somebody at one of their tables with an orgy on the screen.

• Bandwidth: Watching porn consumes a lot of bandwidth--it's a large percentage of internet traffic as it is.

"Public WiFi" is the private property of whoever is letting you use it, so they can make whatever rules they want.

(Pubic WiFi would be something entirely different.)

@dilemmax said in Vanishing torrents ...:

If your torrent is report [taken down], please check to see if people are still downloading. Continue to seed please!!

I would underscore this. Even if the tracker software doesn't give upload credit for this seeding, we've all had the frustration of not being able to complete a download because other seeders have evaporated. If you're connected to another peer when the torrent is deleted, the connection with that other user will stay active (at least that's been my experience).

@mihaig110 said in Vanishing torrents ...:

I am tempted to think that we are taking about a user here who reports them.

It does sound that way. Admins could probably look to see if the IP address from which the DMCA complaint was sent matches that of an active user (although they can't confirm doing this as such would be a confidential internal process).

If they find a match, perhaps some system glitch would occur that deletes that user's account. We all know that software can do weird things sometimes.

@pupkinvasya said in A question about DMCA takedowns:

If the bot sends out requests for the last shares, then there are oddities in its work.

The bots (or human parties) are far from perfect. Here's one amusing example: Back in the dawn of time I uploaded a torrent with a single .mp4 file of a full-length film. It was on this site for several years, and then I got a message telling me that it had been taken down. However, a native DVD version of that film was still on the site, and remains to this day. Apparently the bot/human did not find that one.

Nice pictures. There's plenty of his stuff on here; just search for Tommy Gold, and about 11 live torrents will show up.

@Rotron said in Vanishing torrents ...:
You raise several interesting points. I'd like to share my perspective on them, but please don't see this as a point-by-point rebuttal. If anything, it's an affirmation of what you're saying.

There still is no clarification about this as I think a DMCA request should effect the whole title

The takedoown process can seem random if not chaotic, but I think the site removes all--and only--those torrents that are challenged. This can look weird: I posted a torrent for a full-length video in single-file-.mp4 format that was on the site for years, and than was taken down. Oddly, the same material, in native DVD format (a .VOB folder) remained on the site--and is still here. I suspect that the site got a takedown request for the single file torrent, but not for the DVD...and responded accordingly.

This has definitely discouraged me from uploading more in GayTor as this is so questionable and I have not been experiencing this somewhere else.

I know it's discouraging to have uploaded torrents removed. I take time and care to make my torrent descriptions thorough, with good pictures, thumbnail sheets., etc. (In the past week I had one taken down, but I take comfort in knowing that almost 2,000 other users got that material.) I can see that you care about sharing material, and I suspect that your torrents are well-constructed, and I've probably downloaded some of them. I hope you continue to share.

So for the meantime, I'm taking a vacation from sharing in the GayTor and and also hopefully this gets rid of that 1-star troller.

Vacations are good things--they tend to extinguish burnout, if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor. I would pay no attention to anonymous one-star ratings (or any other ratings). If someone has a worthwhile opinion about a torrent, they should have the balls to post a comment with their username attached.

I will still be active here in the forum. Maybe.

I hope so.

Question: Will my seed bonus count be wiped out if I request all my uploaded torrents to be deleted?

Someone from the site would need to answer this...but I don't think you'd lose it. But please don't ask your torrents to be deleted--again, I'm sure it's good stuff, and other users will enjoy having it. I, myself, may have had some enjoyable "private moments" with your torrents.
