@Titom I'm in general agreement with what you're saying. I do think, though, that it's important to distinguish between file size and torrent size:

I don't think there's any need for a single file to be larger than 30 GB. I often transfer files to a thumb drive to watch on my large screen television, and the most common format for these drives (called FAT32) won't permit files larger than 4 GB. I have software that can break a file into sequential bits, but breaking something into ten pieces is tedious.

As for a torrent containing a large number of video files, such as a sloppy collection called "My Favourite Bareback Films" that is 100 GB, I think it's risky for a downloader to select all of the files, only to get half-way through and have the torrent deleted from the system due to a DMCA request or perhaps just one clip be suspect of having an under-18 model. It would be prudent for downloaders to select only a few of the files on offer, and then when those are complete select a few more. This can help prevent the problem of having downloaded a lot of useless partial files.

Thank you for raising this interesting topic.

Returning to the OP's question about the other site:

It's different from gtor.rent: It has fewer torrents posted per day, in part because everything there is from a studio--no amateur content like spy shots in a locker room or over-the-stall wanking. That site also enforces the rule that each torrent have a description and relevant photos.

Having said that, there is material there that can't be found here. (I won't mention any studio names, since this forum is public.) I think the two sites are complementary, and I like being part of both. Not everyone likes the other site: I've cashed in bonus points there to invite 18 people I "met" on here to join the other site, but only 12 became active users. Nothing pleases everybody.

The forum on the other site has less traffic, although it does have--and enforce--a rule about being civil and respectful of other users

From a purely subjective point of view, I think the format of the other site's torrent listings is better--it seems cleaner and easier to use...but web design preferences can be argued from here to eternity, and even then wouldn't be resolved.

How's this for your enjoyment

Thank you sir! And that is most definitely not shaved...it's about as full as it gets.

Stringfellow Hawke naked

...and with a nice, full bush. American studios experimented with full frontal nudity in the pre-shaving 1970's, but seem to have largely moved away from it since.

I would have enjoyed a gratuitous frontal in Red, White, and Royal Blue, but I suspect both guys are shaved down under.

Thanks for these.

Also, you can do a search on "mainstream movies" and find quite a bit. (The torrent cited above isn't picked up in the search because it was titled "maintstream movies."

@john32123666 This is getting tedious. I'm glad you now realise that other people's clients can behave differently from yours. This is a big step forward.

What users should also notice is that each user can set the maximum number of active downloads, 10, 12, 50, 1000, etc. This is helpful information to new users that you could share if you wanted to.

I realize you like to respond quickly to forum posts, but not always with correct or clear information. I'm going to put you on "block" so I don't have to read it. Best wishes to you.

@eobox91103 said in Torrent stalled - Help:
So your earlier statements:

Suddenly adding 20 new torrents will put some of them in a queue until the first 10 or 12 download what you want ... the 13th will red out resulting failure

were incorrect.

Furthermore, when I put 15+ new torrents in the client, the first twelve were downloading and the remainder were queued. Please don't presume that other users' clients will behave exactly as yours does.

@john32123666 That's exactly what I did to test your theory. The first ten to twelve started downloading completely, while the rest were in a grey (not red) queue waiting for some of the first ones to finish before they started. So there's no harm downloading a bunch of new torrents at one, knowing that the system will eventually get to them.

On a more general note, I can understand that there's some satisfaction at quickly answering a question or posed on the forum. But it's important that (a) the answer be correct, and (b) the explanation be understandable to most users, who are not IT specialists and probably speak only English. Please give this some thought.,

@john32123666 A couple of clarifications: A client can have up to 100 torrents listed as leeching, as long as most of them have downloaded everything the user wants to download. Suddenly adding 20 new torrents will put some of them in a queue until the first 10 or 12 download what you want, and then start downloading the rest. There's no need to keep checking back to see if those slots are open.

Also, in uTorrent 3.5.5 (and perhaps other versions or clients), the queued downloads are grey, not red.

@john32123666 said in Torrent stalled - Help:

12 is max leeching d/l that I'm aware of ...

Per the site rules (https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php, at the bottom:

Users who have donated to the site are allowed 200 torrents at one time.

I recommend using @MrMazda's link for uTorrent 2.2.1. I use 3.5.5 only because that was the easiest fix for me when I was in 3.6 hell. Everything pretty much works now and I'm reluctant to do another version change, but if I were starting from scratch I'd go with 2.2.1.

@tiatbdna4 said in Not Counting Your Shared Ratio:

I only started uploaded torrents 3 months ago

Note that the amount uploaded is your total upload to other users, whether it's a torrent you've created, or one posted by someone else that you've downloaded, and then you're sharing back (uploading) some of that data. It would be possible to have a great ration if a user never posted a torrent, but seeded back lots of what they did download.

Most of my share ratio comes from torrents that I've download only part of (maybe one file out of five), and somehow the system hooks me up with lots of downloaders and I can get a share ratio on that torrent of 50 or greater.. I do upload my own torrents every few weeks, but they usually result in a share ratio (for that torrent) in a ratio of 5 to 10.

@dat1hungdude If you go to the torrent home page ( https://www.gaytor.rent/ ), you'll see a list of users online. You can mouse over the usernames and see their ratio and amount of upload and download. I didn't look at every user, but mousing over one line I saw users at 250 TB and 450 TB. I felt like a slacker with only 36 TB uploaded.

I also noticed that many "high upload" users tend to have share ratios in the 1-2 range, meaning they must also download a lot of stuff. I tend to be selective about what I download.

@brettw97 To install uTorrent 3.5.5 (to replace uTorrent 3.6), I recommend this link: https://www.filesoul.com/software/uTorrent/3-5-5-45271-for-PC-Windows/download/ . There are some links on "old software version" sites that say they will give you 3.5.5, but actually are 3.6.

I suggest that the user be asked to make a single-torrent collection of a bunch of these small files, rather than making each one its own torrent. They do share a common theme, and the new collection torrent could simply be called "Big White Boys" with a few screen grabs for examples. (Or, they could do a thumbnail sheet for each video, but that might be overkill.)

@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....)
