@jabyjack:

Hello, I wanna delete my count.

How can I do that?

Oops, I thought you wanted to delete your cunt.  I was going to suggest seeing a transgender specialist.

I should probably see an eye doctor.

As a general comment, I this US President Abraham Lincoln once said,

You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

I think there's some wisdom in there.  I tend to like the changes.

@MrMazda:

Not that I'm aware of. I can save you half the work. Your torrent client reports that it is using port 11773

You need to make sure this port is forwarded from your router to your computer. The only resource I can think of for help would be www.portforward.com

I use uTorrent as a torrent client, and I seem to recall that its website had some help pages that were useful.

If other Gentle Users can suggest a good resource, please mention it here, and perhaps it can become part of this site's help system.  The computer I use for torrenting was set up seven years ago, and I got it to work fine.  But it's not going to live forever, and when I replace it, I'm not sure that I'll remember what I did back then.

I've found another way to get more upload:  If a new torrent is posted that has lots of files in it (like an OnlyFans collection), just download a few of them, maybe 20% to the total volume.  You'll probably get those files quickly, and then you'll be the source of that material for the other users who are downloading everything.  Try it out a torrent…you'll likely see your ratio for that torrent get quite high.

I was not a fan of the new layout with all the thumbnails and other stuff on the screen…but once I learned how to tailor the display to my liking using the three little toggle buttons on the right of the screen (see image below), I can now make the display the way I like it...and I think it's better than before.  My thanks to the designers for including these.

I would urge other Gentle Users to fiddle with these buttons and see what they can do for you.  You might find the results pleasing.

@ben351500:

I like the three new toggles on the right side of the Search page that allows some customization of the Search view. A definite step in the right direction!

I strongly agree…this way people can tailor to the view they like.

Here's another comment:  In the new style, we seem to have fallen victim to the web trend of "bigger font is better."  But this can make the titles of the torrents rather harsh to eye.  The new titles in (which appear to be Verdana Bold) stand out harshly from the background.  Dialling back the font colour just a bit, while retaining the font and size, would be easier on the eye.  See the image below:  The top frame is the current site design, with the lower frame at a slightly darker grey (RGB:225,225,225 to prove that I'm a nerd).  Just a thought.

@d0m1n1k:

Is there a section in this forum that would be appropriate to ask for a reseed request (in addition to the reseed request button already available on a torrent's page)?

also is there anyway to double check if the request button actually worked?

Not really, and yes.

1)  The reseed request button sends a private message to active members who have indeed downloaded the torrent–I get that sort of message at least once per week.  Not everyone uses the forum, so a posting here might not get seen by someone who has that material.  It's remotely possible that someone reading the forum might have the requested material from some other source and be able to start a new torrent with it, but that's a longshot.  While you could make a "request" posting in the Forum, I think your best bet is to use the reseed button.

2)  After clicking the "reseed request" button, the system will say something like, "Success--14 PM's sent."  That way you know it worked--meaning that people who have downloaded the torrent have been sent a reseed request message.  I think most people read their messages, but some people are not adept at reseeding torrents, and others might have deleted the material and thus not be able to reseed it.

If, after hitting the button, the system says something like "No PM's sent," it means that nobody who downloaded that torrent is still active on the site.  That's happened to me a few times, and it basically means that the material I want has died and gone to Porn Heaven.

(As always, if a Gentle Moderator has a more accurate statement of how this works, feel free to delete my post in favour of yours.)

@Joker:

But people must also understand that after such a long time with a design from 2006, it is time to make some changes.

I would respectfully disagree.  Many commercial webmasters like to make periodic changes to give a new "look and feel," but there's no need to fix something if it isn't broken.  The new frozen pane at the top of the windows is a welcome feature, but I don't see much advantage to many of the other changes.  I suggest an approach of, "What do we need to fix?" and then fix it…not "What can I change for the sake of change?"

That said, I again appreciate the hard work of the many people in operating this website.  I'm a little disappointed that there isn't more of that appreciation shown in this topic thread.

There are some videos by HungYoungBrit that are like this, although they probably don't count as "caught" because the guys watching very much want to join in.

There are also several collections of guys wanking in adjacent toilet stalls being secretly filmed over the stall wall, although the guy filming it can't be seen.  In some of these, the guy wanking notices the camera, and often looks rather angry.

I favor a campaign "Make pubic hair public!"

@pmrrk:

I've noticed a trend of users uploading files with extremely long thumbnails. These take up a lot of space when browsing for torrents and I find them to be extremely obnoxious and annoying. Is there a way to set a limit to the height of an image so people don't take up so much space?

I agree that it's inconvenient, but it's also inconsiderate and lazy.  I think most of these thumbnail "filmstrips" are copied from publishers' websites, and a few mouse clicks of cut and paste can turn these into more manageable images.

That being said, at least these uploaders are providing images.  More and more people are omitting this required step.  I never download those torrents.

@box20062:

I think new layout is too wide on PC. Search results have no margins on left and right, so text ant table cells is near borders of screen. It's inconvenient.

I echo this comment.  The search page wants to expand to full window width with no margins, and with a wide-screen monitor, this is clumsy.  I suggest a maximum width.  This might mean reducing the number of displayed thumbnails, but we had that in the previous search screen when mousing over, and it was not a problem.

I do like having the torrent description and thumbnails "live" rather than only on mouse-over, although it increases the server's upload.  It's also a good way to identify "deadbeat" torrents that have no description and/or thumbnails.  Eventually it would be nice to have a gate in the upload process that stopped torrents with no sample images…but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I commend the hard (!) and conscientious work of the moderators and programmers who are clearly trying to make this already-excellent site even better.

@MrMazda:

@srblock:

It is clean. I think I Like it, I'll give it a go. One thing is bothersome: in Browse view, when I mouseover "i" to see info, the popup box sometimes is very wide and goes off the left side of the page. This is only happening in Safari (which I prefer to use). It looks fine in Chrome. Also, under my profile I do not see an option to choose the old layout, although like I said I think I'll get used to the new layout. Nice work

This issue should now be fixed.

I still get this phenomenon.  If I mouse over the description ellipsis on the torrent "Answered Prayers: The Actor Starring Tayte Hanson," the expanded description bleeds off the left side of the screen (see screenshot below).  This doesn't happen on all torrent listings, which is odd.  It's not a serious issue.

I like it, especially the main index pane (strip) that stays frozen at the top of the page, even when one scrolls down.

One might take a look at font colour vs. its background:  For example, at the Forum page for "all unread topics," I get what's pasted in below.  The text below "Gaytorrent.ru Forum" wants to read, "Pages: [1] 2 3 … 117" but note how "Pages: [1]] and "…" fade almost completely into the background. This should be just a minor tweak.

As for font size, I commend you for not following the current web design trend of enormous fonts.  My bank, for example, tells me my balance in a font that is 6 cm high!   I think the current font sizes on the site are just fine.  Members can be reminded that pages can grow (or shrink) with browser controls (e.g., "Cntrl" & mouse wheel).

Thank you to all admins and moderators for their hard work!

The guys in "straight" porn are better-looking now than several years ago as the industry responds to what audiences want.  I did some porn direction/production in the 1990's, and we generally put the younger and/or better-looking guys in "gay" scenes because the main audience for "straight" porn was "straight" men, and they didn't want to feel inadequate by seeing a very muscled (or trim) guy with a huge cock.

Audiences are different today; more women watch "straight" porn and they want good-looking men.  Also, there are a lot more men exploring same-sex attraction that are more comfortable watching "straight" porn than "gay" porn.

Note:  I use quotation marks for "straight" and "gay" because those labels don't apply to models making porn:  Lots of guys with very little attraction to other guys make "gay" porn, and many guys who would be considered "gay" by most definitions make "straight" porn.  More than once I've had guys on set getting their dicks fluffed before a shoot by their boyfriend before fucking a girl–as well as the opposite.

I enjoy sucking, and I really like the sensation of a cum explosion in my mouth–maybe because it makes me think that I've done something right.  I'm not into the taste of cum, so I'll usually swallow quickly to get rid of it.

I think it is because of the way the tracker counts "downloading torrents:"  If you have downloaded a torrent with many files, and you have only selected some of them to download, your torrent client may show this torrent as 100% completed.  But, the gt.ru tracker sees this as only partially downloaded, and this torrent will count it as one of your 15 allowed downloading torrents.  I sometimes have the same problem.

The way I fix this is to look at older torrents that I have downloaded this way (only some of the files, not all) that also have very few seeders (so I won't be uploading much to them).  I then delete the torrent, but keep the files (if I want), and then it won't count against the allowed maximum.  It might take a few minutes for the gt.ru tracker to recognise this and update your total.

I hope this helps your situation.  Bonne chance!

Brother Raphjd pretty much nailed it, although there are few complexities to the wiring diagram:

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution (1791) says the Federal (US) government only has the powers assigned to it by the Constitution; all other powers belong to individual state governments.  Some applications of this are clear:  Only the Federal government can raise an army and declare war on a foreign power, but it cannot set the speed limit on motorways within a state.  There's often controversy on how this concept is applied…for example, several years ago the Federal department of transportation did not want states to have motorway speed limits higher than 70 miles/hr (113 km/hr), but it couldn't do this by a law, so it said there would no Federal funds for motorway construction in states that had higher speed limits.  The states all dropped their speed limits.

At the congressional level, while the Senate seems more "powerful" than the House of Representatives, all legislation about spending money from the Federal budget has to start in the House of Representatives.

And then there are some interesting exceptions:  San Francisco (California) has a single government for both city and county functions.  Carrying that farther, the District of Columbia (not a state, but sort of like one) has a single government that does city, county, and state functions.  But since it's not a "state," it does not have voting representation in the Congress, even though its residents pay full Federal taxes every year.  As you can imagine, this causes much discussion.

This is more than you wanted to read, but since I'm trapped at home, I tend to type a lot 

@bearbearbear:

I stopped reporting duplicates because most of the time, they weren't being removed and I wasn't being given credit for reporting them.  I figure the mods are busy with higher priority tasks.

I've occasionally received a PM showing that I've received a point credit, but most of the time not.  Perhaps the moderator looks at point bonus total (nearly 6000) and assumed, correctly, that I don't need the points.

I do know that the duplicate-removal process works:  I reported a duplicate a couple of days ago, and that torrent did indeed disappear–and the older one was "promoted" as a retread for users to download.  I didn't receive a "point bonus" note, which is fine with me.

The "report a duplicate" feature on each torrent page allows users to report these things–I don't know how many reports are made, and whether our Gentle Moderators are able to keep up with them.

If I see a duplicate, I'll report it, and also make a comment to that effect with a link to the original torrent.  Many users will seed the original.
