@eobox91103 I've spent the last 2 days wondering if I should mention that, but I didn't fancy getting involved in this train-wreck of a thread.

@cptngay-0 No, it's not allowed. Well, it depends what you're asking for....

If you're asking where to find them then that's fine. If you're asking for someone to upload them then it's not fine.

From the rules: "Requests for uploads are strictly prohibited. This includes the torrent descriptions, comments, forum and shoudbox"

I don't really get this. For starters how much content are we talking about? You only get 15GB on the free plan, stepping up to £8 a month for 2 TB which seems to be their biggest plan. External hard drives have been selling for about £20-£25 per TB, so only 6 months of Google storage fees. On top of that how long would it take to upload all the content you want to store? Seems like a pain.

As for the question of distributing pornography, it's likely that would still apply. You'd be disseminating that content outside of your home which is how such actions are usually interpreted.

On the whole, it sounds expensive and not really viable. Buy more local storage if you can.

@chuckBKK I think Casey Tanner doesn't really fit the list. While he did die young he apparently had severe preexisting health issues that weren't linked to his career or lifestyle.

Can somebody please explain to me what the fuck is up with Helix (or ex-Helix) models dying so young???

@MrMazda Genuinely starting to wonder if we were separated at birth.... LOL

Want to add:

You can also use seed points to make a torrent freeleech. So see something you fancy and it's not freeleech? Use the points there (or on a torrent you already are seeding) because freeleech torrents tend to get leeched more.

That's true, but personally I'd not bother with that method unless I know that I can get a good return on the points investment.

For starters, you can only freeleech a torrent when its more than a week old, so you've missed the initial surge and need to be fairly sure that you'll get downloaders for it. Also, for those people who don't have fast upload speeds you run the risk of a couple of people with fast connections distributing many more packets than you, so once you've uploaded perhaps a couple of copies of the original you're no longer a preferred seed.

I much prefer simply exchanging my points for ratio credit. 600 Points will give me 10GB back, and while I could potentially get more through freeleech I'm not a gambler. Each to his own, I guess.

UK here, and my system time is always 1 hour ahead of site time throughout the winter period. Can't remember if it corrects itself during BST. It's not an issue.

@MrMazda said in Are collection rules enforced?:

@justatest90-0 ...and whether or not they have the energy to go down a rabbit hole. I'm always up for that challenge.

Any hole's a goal, eh?

@ianfontinell-0 You shut your god damn mouth! Haha. MEN is fairly crap, but I like some of the ASG and quite a bit of SU.

Hullo!

Minnie is quite a nice hamlet. Crossed The Pond for a week in 2018 and I like it there (mostly.) Not so keen on St Paul! I hope it's getting warmer for you there now, and I also hope there's a little less "spiciness" going on.

@ianfontinell-0 Dammit! I thought about Threshhold, but I wasn't sure enough to suggest it.

Doesn't ring a bell, but the setting and image quality makes me think of the old Factory studio films. Might be worth looking in that area?

For the last month or so I've been back on Dyson Sphere Program, but in the last couple of days I've been revisiting Stationeers.

@cp2000 I use Duplicate Cleaner Prime to find exact duplicates, but so many videos are uploaded in varying sizes and resolutions, sometime with a couple of seconds trimmed at the start or end, that it can't find them all.

I've been using the idle time on my PC to run my ENTIRE collection through Handbrake to reduce file sizes and fix various playback issues, and now have everything shrunk down to 720 (or smaller if the original was smaller.) Now that that's done I'm tidying up my folders, putting everything into studio groups and doing the same with amateur content. (People are so bad at uploading OF collections that you inevitably end up with a dozen duplicates of some files!)

The final stage is cataloging everything with Stashdb so that it will all be searchable by studio, performers, date, tags etc. It makes finding the remaining duplicates much easier as it creates it's own preview images and you simply list videos by length and then scroll through looking for matching preview images which appear side-by-side most of the time. Yesterday I managed to scroll through roughly 4000 HX videos and eliminate about 200 dupes, saving about 250Gb in about 20 minutes. It also generates perceptual hashes for every video, so is good at recognising dupes and has it's own duplicate cleaner, but i prefer to check manually.

@fictif59 It's an odd one. I've got nearly all the BC vids, and I've just had a quick scan through them and can't find one that appears to be in that room/set. I'll keep an eye out, but I can't place it right now.

@miaw13 I would imagine it is because you make more money from getting people to pay for multiple different sites/OF/JFF than if you were to do everything on a single channel.

Further to what has already been said, you can see all the files included in the torrent simply by clicking on "See full list" next to the Num Files entry on the torrent listing, negating any real benefit to replicating it all in the description. While this does include everything, including any pics or other files, it is normally enough to quickly see if anything there peaks your interest.

Look into a seedbox... if you use it well you will never worry about ratio again.

I've created a monster. LOL
