Porn cannot be copyrighted because porn is intrinsically illegal.

Fuck me sideways, are you still trying to bang that drum???? You've tried to argue this before and been given numerous reasons why you're wrong.

@lololulu19 said in Warning:

The reason for copyrights is primarily to protect a company from having their product copied and SOLD

Surprisingly, you're almost heading in the right direction with this one, but you're wrong about the "sold" part. In truth the copyright protects the value of the creator's product. Taking your example. If Apple computers were cloned and given away that would detract from Apple's market. A doesn't care if B gives or sells B's own products away, but if B starts to give away copies of A's product then that adversely affects A's market, so of course copyright has a place here even if the product isn't sold.

@MrMazda Did somebody say paddles???

@tiatbdna4 One thing I would say about that is that stopping them at 1.25 based on the ratio may not be the best practice, even if allowing for you secondary minimum time criteria.Depending on the torrent client being run on the SB it would be worth investigating if you add an "AND" condition to that and set it to check if there are no leechers. If there's still traffic then there's an argument for keeping the torrent active, at least within the scope of the initial purpose of the thread.

@mebgmebg No, because requests for uploads have been banned anywhere on the site for absolutely ages. Sorry.

@pupkinvasya I can see your thinking, but I don't think so. I know the angle in the pic is bad, but I don't think he's got the tattoo, and the eyebrows don't look right. Also, (again it's a bad angle) it looks like he's missing the chin dimple.

Just to chime in...

As @eobox91103 said, if you are fortunate enough to join a swarm before the torrent gets deleted and there are still others in the swarm then by all means keep the torrent running in your client. When the torrent gets deleted from the tracker it seems that anyone already in the swarm can continue to both upload and download. As such, as long as there is a full copy available, either from seeders or from enough leechers, it is still possible for the download to finish. I've managed to complete a few downloads in the past after they became unregistered. If you are lucky enough to have the full copy then please do keep it running as long as there are any leechers in the swarm. You won't get credited for the upload on the site, but you will save people from having wasted a lot of ratio on a download they might never have been able to finish.

@MrMazda Don't worry, dear. I think this might become a running joke between us thanks to a third party in another thread.

@Arago44 It's called being tight.

@Thesock Did you happen to check how long was left on the freeleech before you started it? Could the freeleech possibly have expired shortly after you started the download? That would be the most logical explanation.

@gabisev Yup! Found it, though on a different torrent site.

Many thanks for slapping my memory in the right direction.

@tnar I'm all for keeping people informed, but even if they don't read the forums this has been on the general site rules page for quite some time now. You could probably autofill the first line of the comments boxes with this rule and it would still get broken. LOL

@ianfontinell It's B. If you're unsure always go for B. Or A. D in some cases. C is just asking to fail.

@rice55 While you technically can post an upload request you can also expect the mods to lkill the thread and ban you from the whole site for doing so. My suggestion is that you don't. Request have been banned across the whole site for a long time now.

@yababylol makes a good point. To get a sense of whether or not there's an issue here at all we'd need to know a bit more about your stats. As an example, for me 300GB of upload would result in a ratio increase of 0.002, though this would obviously decrease if there was any download traffic at all.

@eonflux Each other?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

@eobox91103 It's right below the link for the helpdesk in the support dropdown

@bigetownky Stash interprets each individual video file as a "scene." The "films" section is intended for organising individual scenes into the full film. For example, you might have all 5 scenes of a DVD as separate files, so what you can do is create a film entry and then add each scene to it. Doing it that way means you can easily search for a particular scene yet still have them grouped together as a single film. You can also add in the DVD covers, description, rating etc for the full DVD while keeping the scene covers and information.

As for getting all the data, it can be a lengthy process. Click on a scene, and then click on EDIT (below the title on the left.) You should then see a blue button with "Scrape with" on it. Click that and select "Stashdb.org" and it will check to see if there's a match in the online database. If there is one you'll get a new popup that shows all the data they have. Check through it all, because sometimes it'll pick up the wrong title or something. If you're happy with everything then just click APPLY. Don't forget to hit SAVE on the left of the screen afterwards. You can do all of this in batches too, but like I said it can be a little bit time consuming at first. It's not too bad as long as you remember to do it ever so often so you're not having to check hundreds of files.

Don't get discouraged if there's no info for the scene you're looking for. Obviously not everything is catalogued yet. There are lots of scrapers you can add, so you can get it to scrape a studio's website rather than the Stash-created one, which is great when you know the source of the video.

I don't pretend to know nearly as much as I'd like to know, but if you join their Discord there are a few really helpful people there. One of the Stash team even spent 3 hours debugging a script that wasn't working for me. (It still doesn't work, or I'm doing something else wrong, but he certainly tried.)

Back when I had potato internet which made it a nightmare to maintain a good ratio I did try using a seedbox, and only for a single month at a time. It's been ages since I had to do it, but all I did was add anything new that looked like it would become popular. (Think popular performers in the busiest categories. That sort of thing.) I'd jump onto anything that:

• Was uploaded very recently, preferably in the last few hours, and

• Had only 1 or perhaps 2 seeders with lots of leechers, and

• the bigger the download the better, (Simply means there's more upload traffic to be had)

You ignore the whole concept of downloading what you want for yourself, and concentrate on what others are hungry for, and the high speeds you get make you a very attractive peer to connect to.. As I say it's been a while but I seem to remember being able to farm in excess of TB of upload credit in a single month that way with very little effort and I'm sure I could get even higher rewards if I really tried, all for the paltry sum of about £10 to £15 for the seedbox.

As @ianfontinell-0 says, you need to look at how big your deficit is first. Then you know what it will take to fix it. If you give us some numbers I'm sure it'll be an easy task.
