@jokuihmemies Wow, that was quick. I can't imagine it was for this post though.

@vortensen I don't remember there ever being a site-wide freeleech for any occasion, and I've been here for over 15 years, but perhaps you'll get lucky one day. I know gay-area.org do them sometimes.

@tnar I follwed the same route to wind up on BiglyBT too. One feature I use regularly is the labelling/tagging function, so I can set up rules for new torrents when they're added. All my porn gets a porn tag automatically, then downloads to one folder before moving to a completed folder. I have another rule set up for the trackers I use for films or software. It;s just nice to have is all run without any real interference required. I don't know if other clients have that ability or not, but with Bigly I just download the torrent file itself and an when it's done everything is neatly organised into it's own folders.

The UI is quite nice too. I seem to be able to fit more info on screen than I can with most other clients.

^^^THIS^^^ (The actual, helpful answer)

It's up on gay-area.org today

@macmie-0 To the best of my knowledge, total traffic relates to all traffic between all peers, so it will likely always be larger than your own upload figures

@shimburton-0 Is that DaddyMugs?

@lololulu19 Some do

@amigaopira Can you please check your links work when you post them? Thanks

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.

@thatguyclose-0 I do recognise him, but I can't zone in on his name. The full session is on the site here: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=290cdcf3ea52cb5231aab4170a5875fb24727d7ed3fac47b

Just looked on TDay and it's not there yet, so I'm guessing no torrent created so far. Things usually show up quite fast on there.

@eobox91103 Yup, this one has gone waaaay over my head LOL

@frostycab You have never "wasted your time scouring the internet" for the nonsense that does not exist.. Yet you never fail to state that the internet is flooded with examples of gay porn copyright violations which have gone to trial and there was a conviction.

Maybe because people have had enough common sense to settle before their case ever sees the inside of a courtroom? Of course, if you are so convinced that your position is right then go forth and enjoy yourself safe in the knowledge that if you believe it then it must be true.

@lololulu19 said in My position on torrenting gay porn.:

There have been a mountain of COMPLAINTS of STRAGHT porn videos that are alledged to have violated copyrights. Almost all these complaints were made by the obscure straight porn studio "Strike 3 Holdings". Not one of their complaints ever made it to trial.

I don't know how you think this comment helps your case. You've always made a big thing of "gay" porn specifically not being able to be copyrighted to to being definitively "obscene." Now you're saying that even though a straight studio has brought cases against people those too have never made it to court. Once again, do you not think that they probably just settled rather than go through the whole waste of time and money involved in a court battle?

Interestingly, here is a quote form the law site you linked to, though in the interest of full disclosure for all the members like me who are NOT IN AMERICA AND NOT SUBJECT TO US LAW this article only consider the US legal system. I've highlighted the most relevant portions:

"Congress did not make clear if it intended to extend protection to every kind of work. Copyright law does not identify specific content that is ineligible for copyright protection. As a result, copyright law protects pornography because content-based restrictions on copyright eligibility could abridge the freedom of speech of the First Amendment. That said, obscene works do not receive First Amendment protection. In Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 93 S.Ct. 2607, 37 L.Ed.2d 419 (1973), the United States Supreme Court found that the First Amendment’s freedom of speech does not apply to obscenity. Specifically, under Miller, obscenity is found when the average person, using contemporary community standards, would find that a work appeals to the prurient interests, depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law, and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Thus, the First Amendment protects pornography – if it is not obscene.

This brings us back to the question of what is obscenity. Applying the above test, does the average person find depictions of gay sex offensive? Blah blah blah... There are a lot of conditions in that definition of obscenity, and they'd all need to be shown to apply for any specific piece of gay porn to be considered obscene. Now consider that all of this only applies in the US, and every other country has it's own laws and definitions.

And again.. if someone thinks that this site is breaking the law (it is not), then that person needs to disable their account and leave.

Honestly, do you ever actually take a minute to read anything you write before you press the submit button? The site isn't breaking the law because it complies with DMCA. If it was to ignore DMCA entirely then you might just get your wish and have the whole thing put to the test in a court of law somewhere, but thankfully the powers that be aren't dimwitted buffoons who are going put the whole site at risk to satisfy your need to feel validated.

Here's an idea, why don't you go and take this up with Joker and see if you can convince him. After all, you could be preaching to the choir on the forums but that isn't going to change anything. I'm sure he will welcome the opportunity to partake of your informed and inarguable wisdom. He's not an easy person to reach though. What you need to do is contact helpdesk with this code-phrase: "Please delete my account." and they'll put you in touch. It's not a trick, I swear!

@john32123666
Seems to me that there is a rule on this site about impersonating a moderator.. which you have repeatedly violated... just saying.

To put the record straight, not once has he ever claimed to be a mod. If you think someone has to be a mod to tell you to stop waffling on constantly then you're wrong. Just saying.
