@Sleepyalot Try reading through this - and no worries, happy to help:

I have quite a few gay themed comic books and graphic novels that folks would need a comic reader (like YAC) to read the CBR files which some other users have otherwise uploaded (I noticed all the old Gay Comixs are up here as CBR files).

Here are some random covers of what I am talking about:

Most of these are not all erotic and some barely show any skin; a lot of them are what are called slice of life (stuff like Heartstopper, for example, which I can also upload the earlier stuff) and some of these are webrips of webcomics (like Heartstopper, versus being a digital copy of the published graphic novel).

I'm just curious to see if anyone would be interested? Just give some feedback. Again, I'm new to the site and can't use some of the standard torrent clients that others use (I'm a Mac user), so I need to figure that all out first.

EDIT: It looks like someone else grabbed, from at least some the very same places I found many of the books I would have shared here, and made posts but that individual did not upload everything. Once I have more time, I will sort through that and will upload stuff but people can still feel free to make comments/feedback about upload types - I noticed people are uploading lose images, PDFs and all sorts of other things, versus CBR/CBZ files for manga or comic books?

@Sleepyalot I'm not the one to answer the ratio question, but seeding and leeching are basic to peer to peer and torrent sites, and you can look the terms up on either the Urban dictionary or something like that or Wikipedia to better understand them.

Essentially, to seed is to have a file sit on your computer and make it available (in the case of this site, for other torrent users) to be able to download because you (and hopefully others) are seeding the file. I tried to grab a file about ten hours ago without realizing no one was seeding it when I selected it so after a few hours, I disconnected then came back here and ask if someone could see it. I reopened my torrent client (a client is simply a way to grab/download a torrent file) and eventually - while I was streaming a comedy special and downloading some graphic novels, I realized that I had the entire, half GB file! I've let it sit there (even though that's not where I keep/want my porn) since the important thing about seeding is to have it in the same place you download originally too). i will eventually duplicate the file to move it to my backup external, but that's irrelevant to your question.

Someone else may have a better explanation but leeching essentially means you are downloading/grabbing files without SEEDING back. Essentially, if I had just download my 500MB and then walked away without leaving the file there and providing the option for others to grab it, then I am a LEECH.

Hope this helps but also go look at the FAQ.

@john32123666 Thank you for your comments. I suspect that this site is, ultimately, not for me if these are your site rules. I've no interest in paying for the recommended torrent client as per the link you provided, for example. But thanks for taking the time to copy and paste this information.

I'm on the last month of a free Apple TV+ subscription. I'm in the middle of S2 of Mythic Quest, which is surprisingly good and also the After Party - which is both different but also funny and good. Of course, I saw both seasons of Ted Lasso, but can also recommend a lot of their non-fiction stuff, especially HOME for those who like architecture and design, as well as their nature stuff - currently the dinosaur series but the nighttime film is great and the three seasons of the motorcycle travel with Ewan McGregor is also interesting. Of particularly interest, people might check out the documentary series Visible. And for those into SF, For All Mankind. I have not yet checked out the other stuff, like SEE, or FOUNDATION and probably won't until I decide to subscribe again in six months or so.

I had a friend who was letting me use their Netflix account for years but really found it to be a lot of dross and I am glad I never paid for it. I thought Q-Force was just really forcing what humor it had and generally badly scripted and conceptualized. I did enjoy the Sandman but I'm not really a fan of horror and I hope they move away from it for S2 as the graphic novels do. The parts of this series I enjoyed were the things like the story about Hob and the dreams of the cats, versus the stuff that tries to hit the horror elements.
