Definitely not Lucian Fair anyway. Hair is too curly and much redder. Like you said, too skinny and much less definition too.

@mtele31784-0 said in Previously Downloaded Torrents Not Showing in BitTorrent:

@mtele31784-0 Update: I redownloaded the torrent file for many of my previous downloads, and they are now seeding, but some of them didn't register that I have already downloaded them once before.

That means that the previously downloaded files are in the wrong place for your client to see them (or you've deleted them.) As long as they are in your client's download folder (or in another folder the client checks) it will re-check the files and only download missing pieces.

I'm not sure if I've totally understood your issue, but I'l give you my take.

In all honesty, speed-testing your connection will only ever give a meaningful result if you don't have anything else using that connection. You have a finite amount of bandwidth, both up and down. If you have any software running that uses some of that bandwidth then you're more than likely going to see your results drop.

To give you an example, for the last 4 years I have suffered under the yoke of an old copper-wire ADSL connection. It started out at about 12Mb/s and has "improved" recently to around 17 or 18. If I have torrents downloading then I can forget using the internet for ANYTHING else. Netflix? Nope. YouTube? Nope. Checking emails? Nope. If I want to stream a film or anything then I have to pause or exit my client until I'm finished. Same thing if I even just want to check the forums or refresh a page.

As for why you're seeing different up/down speeds in your client, I'm not sure. I use BiglyBT, and it seems as though the speed counters are displaying an average speed over the last 30 seconds to a minute rather that the actual speed at that precise moment in time. To get a better idea of where my bandwidth is being used I tend to open Resource Monitor and look at my connections in there, as I can sort them all by current speed.

On the plus side, after fighting to get fibre here for years, they're coming first thing in the morning to connect me. I'll be interested to see what I actually get on my new 500Mb/s line.

Over the course of today one user (I assume) has attempted to upload and seed around 15 torrents, all themed on twinks including videos from both studios and fan sites such as OF. I have seen, and can still see, many uploads on the site featuring the same studios and performers. Every single one seems to have been removed from the site, often within 30 minutes of being added.

I can appreciate that DMCA requests must be taken seriously and acted upon, but it seems suspicious that so many torrents from (what I assume is) a single user, spanning such a range of studios and independent performers should be jumped on so quickly. It does raise the question of whether or not this is a disgruntled user simple being a bit of an ass.

My question is if a DMCA request is received what is the actual process for removing the torrent? Does the claimant need to show that they are indeed the copyright owner? Is there a due diligence process that is followed to verify that the takedown request is legitimate? If not then presumably anyone could spam the site with random DMCA requests, decimating the list of available material.

I'm not looking to complain and start an argument over this. It's just genuine curiosity. I completely understand that the site needs to err on the side of caution in order to protect itself, but I just wonder if someone is abusing the system.

Pretty sure this is it...

@john32123666 Wasn't there a studio label a few years back that was something like All Teen Boys or Amateur Teen Boys?

Wouldn't manually forcing a recheck do the same thing? Not a problem I've encountered in BiglyBT though.

@TopMachoBear On the search page I just check the box for "On wishlist only, leave the search field blank and then click Search. Results show your wishlist items.

Every time I read "Hot dude in a half thong" I get the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song in my head

@courbinjc-0 While we wait for the inevitable arrival of the usual "burnt vagina" (their own words) who will no doubt happily repeat their own tale of woe for the umpteenth time, it's worth remembering that sharing is something of a lottery, and if you're unlucky enough to get your uploads spotted by someone with an interest then this is one of the risks you take.

Just be grateful that a temp ban from here is probably the worst that will happen, unlike the old days of Napster and Bearshare where ISPs were dropping people when they got found out. I'm afraid all I can say is take it on the chin for now and decide if you still want to contribute in the future. I'm sure many members appreciate what you've done up to this point.

@lololulu19 said in GAYtor.rent ?:

But therein is the issue again.. why is any totally straight porn here?

1. Some people are bisexual, and enjoy seeing hot guys and hot girls.
2. Some people are totally gay, but still like to see a hot guy's cock and ass bouncing around.
3. If you were to to object to girl-on-girl porn, then I'd agree, but I've never seen any purely girl-on-girl stuff on here anyway.

How many OF or JFF uploads here are all solo male content from people who identify as straight? Should that all be removed? No, because it is still of interest to gay eyes. The same applies to the straight sex content I've seen on the site.

I am truly sorry that some of the uploads on the site don't interest you, but the site isn't here to cater specifically to any one person's tastes. If you like to use the browse page rather than the search then maybe ask for the ability to filter out some categories (which I would definitely lend my vote to) rather than say "This shouldn't be on here."

Personally, I don't think it takes a great deal of effort to not click on a picture with tits or minge.

@jokuihmemies If you use the "Search (old)" page rather than the newer version (which I personally never use) you can select or deselect any categories you like.

But why have you put this in the Support forum?

@EugeneGabija-0 Solution: Stop trying to use QTM.

In all seriousness, QTM has apparently been broken for longer than most of us can remember. Try using GUU instead. https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/65942/software-release-gaytor-rent-upload-utility?_=1737758604246

@cinemacapman I believe he's asking for a separate OF category so it can be deselected when performing a search, filtering out any OF content, though I still think it doesn't take much effort to just skip over it in the search results.

@tnar Very odd, since I'm using BiglyBT too, v 3.5.0.0. Haven't changed mine around in ages and not seeing any issues here. Is there an update that perhaps broke something?

@eobox91103 I agree. I remember seeing this video years ago, long before he created the HYB label. Fairly sure it wasn't a studio release.

I've been using BiglyBT (formerly Azureus and then Vuze) since forever. It performs well, and gives you a lot of control over things. I particularly like the ability to automatically label and move downloads when they're added or completed, as it just simplifies things for me. I don't know if other clients might have the same functionality, but I'm used to the interface now and have no plans to change.

@lololulu19 said in Upscaling - WHY?:

I wish someone would explain to me the purpose of upscaling.

@lololulu19 said in Upscaling - WHY?:

@jrewingwanna Actually, I usually am EXPLAINING something. Not asking. When I do ask, it is virtually always something that is wrong that NEEDS to be looked into

Make yer mind up

@pornoaf-0 As long as the files are an exact match and you point your client at them on your computer. When you then add the torrent form this site the client will check to see if the files exist on your PC and only download if it doesn't see the full matching files. If it's able to check to 100% then it will just start to seed.
