@ache77-0 said in Does anyone has higher quality/original version of this video?:
I'm pretty sure everyone have seen it.
...but not the rules apparently. Might be worth having a skim through them. There's a prize if you come back and tell us which one is the issue here. 
@MrMazda Here's a good example of a ridiculous "collection" that was uploaded a short time ago. Acceptable, or should it never have existed?

@william024 Does nobody read the site rules anymore? 
"Requests for uploads are strictly prohibited. This includes the torrent descriptions, comments, forum and shoutbox"

@rimmer11 hiiiii sorry to break it to you but you came late to the party and the forum is pretty much DEAD
HEY! There are at least 4 of us here! 
@ysorandomxP said in Dante Drackis reseed request:
Anywho if the post needs to be modified please let me know and i'll change it into a request to just upload more Dante Drackis stuff. I'm planning on making a torrent myself of my full collection once i have more of his solo stuff and uploading that aswell!
Whatever you do, DON'T DO THAT! Requests for uploads are banned across the entire site (and have been for quite some time.) I've seen bans handed out for breaking that rule, so my advice to be to limit any UPLOAD requests to other torrent sites or just keep an eye out for what you're looking for.
@ysorandomxP Have you tried pressing (ONCE ONLY!!!) the "Request Reseed" button on the torrent page and waiting a few days? Given that it's over 2 years old now though I wouldn't expect much luck.
Also, just so you're up to speed, the mods have said on several occasions that requesting reseeds on the forum is not allowed.
@MrMazda said in Circumventing duplicates aka Fansite collections:
So... When it comes to these collections, I would encourage you to bring such cases to my attention, and I'd be happy to review them on a case by case basis and handle them accordingly. We try to keep things fair for all users, so I'd be more than happy to dig deeper into this if you can give me examples of what you're referring to.

This is probably the best example. It's old now, but huge at 436GB and just seems to be random cam shows.

I don't want to start a witch-hunt, and I don't know which side of the rule fence torrents like these sit on, but Given time I could find better examples. I notice there was one that I previously reported for padding the theme with a "bonus folder" has been removed, so it seems I was right once at least.
@ianfontinell-0 It was one of the main reasons I started using StashDB to organise my whole library. It takes some effort to scrape all the data and/or enter the missing info yourself, but it has made it so much easier for me to check if I already have something when a new upload looks familiar. I can search by performer, studio, date range, my own tags, and even if I get a couple of hundred results it only takes a brief look at the thumbnails to jog my memory.
There's a valid argument that any upload can be said to add value to the site's offerings, but at the same time a bad upload takes away almost as much as it gives, and can easily lead to people getting sent to ratio-jail for downloading huge volumes of misleading or hidden files. I've just remembered a forum thread from a few weeks ago about an upload that was billed as something like "Massive collection of bareback videos" and the uploader couldn't see the argument that bareback is itself a category rather than a theme suitable for a collection. Using their logic I'd estimate that you could bundle roughly 70-80% of the videos on this site into a single collection and upload that, whereas I believe the intent is to provide more focused material that represent a subset of the whole.
To the uploaders of these torrents I'd say please think of the other members, not just your own ratio. Take a little bit of time and actually curate your uploads so that downloaders aren't overwhelmed with bloat. To the ones that are just dumping this stuff on the site to help their ratios I'd say please just go and spend the price of a cup of coffee and get a seedbox for a month. That will do more for your ratio just with your usual downloads than any number of rubbish uploads will ever do.
@leo2003 Can I just quickly check that I've got the right end of the stick here? You made a large collection, and when new material becomes available you add it to your existing collection on here, right?
If so, that may actually be inefficient for downloaders. Speaking for myself, I tend to keep torrents going for as long as I practically can after downloading, but eventually they get edited down to remove stuff I don't like and moved to long-term storage or archived, and they get removed from my client if I don't see any upload traffic for a long time.
If I then need to add that torrent again to grab the newer files it means I invariably end up grabbing loads of stuff that I've previously deleted, and it leaves me with a lot of work to go through it all again to curate it for my taste.
Personally, I would much prefer uploaders to release an initial collection clearly marked with dates, such as "xxxxxxxxx OF rip up to March 2025." They can then release regular periodic updates in the form of "xxxxxxxxx OF rip April to June 2025" which would make it much easier for downloaders to maintain their own curated collection.
@ianfontinell-0 raises another good point in his reply. I've been on the site for over 17 years, and currently stand at just over 10000 points. I doubt there are that many users on the site who have enough points to indulge such a request.
Sorry if I've misunderstood anything.
@ianfontinell-0 Fucking too right!
It drives me up the wall, and I've pretty much stopped downloading any of that stuff because it's all just a big con imo. People are taking random OF and JFF rips of individuals and then then bundling them into even larger "collections" where most would struggle to find any commonality between them all.
Some of the worst examples are the SketchySex and FraternityX series. It feels like every few days a new collection is uploaded that is just a bunch of vids cobbled together in such a way that it doesn't quite match the dozens of already uploaded collections.
It's not just duplicating content either. One of the last ones I grabbed was part of a themed series, all of them fairly large downloads. The last one contained a "Bonus Folder" which was filled with utterly random shite that didn't match the them of the collection, and didn't even form what anyone would call a collection in and of itself.
People are constantly padding their uploads or just blatantly gaming the system to dupe people into downloading content they already grabbed many times before. It's shitty behaviour, but often manages to sit just on the right side of the fence when it comes to the rules. I have no idea how to combat it without inundating the mods with reports of dubious uploads.
All I've heard about QTM for the last 4 years is that it appears to be broken. I think most people are either creating their torrents manually with their client or using this utility.
@pornoaf-0 I've heard that the most reliable way of finding out wis with a ouija board, and even then that only gives a result 0.001% of the time. You will not be able to persuade staff to share this info with you.

Colby Keller voted for Trump, and liberals wish he'd be killed now. Could this be what you are thinking about?
The politics forum is over here, just in case you've forgotten.
I've got a large USB hard drive that I use to store all my porn downloads on. I usually have it connected to a little N100 mini-pc that's there purely to run my torrents, StashDB and Plex. When the drive gets too full I usually connect it to my much more powerful gaming rig and pass all the downloads through Handbrake to eliminate any playback issues and reduce the file sizes.
Well, the drive is full again, but when I connect it to my gaming rig it doesn't show up in Explorer. There's the usual "Device connected" *donk" sound, and I can hear the drive spin up, but it just isn't visible, so obviously I can access anything on it. When I plug it back into the N100 the drive works fine. Yes, I've tried using different USB ports with no joy. I haven't used BitLocker or encrypted anything, and even if I had surely the drive would still be visible, wouldn't it?
So, anyone got any ideas?
@nyfallioregn I've been using Stashdb for a couple of years and think it's greta. Granted, it does take time to find the right info for a lot of titles. Can I ask exactly what steps you are using to try to identify scenes? It might be that you're doing something wrong.
Also, have you tried adding more scrapers that are targeted to gay content?
I saw a scene a few years ago where there were 2 couples on a bed, on MM and one MF. Both couples had sex next to each other, though there was no partner-swapping. If I remember right it had the feel of a Corbin Fisher/Sean Cody type production.
Anyone got any ideas?
@oolooloo Another fantasy ruined. My work here is done.
