I'm not going to pretend to understand all of the details of how torrents actually work or the running of this site. However, there are a couple of things in your post that struck me.

Firstly, your idea sounds virtually the same as renting a seedbox, which can be done for significantly less than $1 per GB. I've been shopping around recently, and have seen deals for around £9 per month for a TB of storage and 10 Gb/s up/down speeds with no traffic limit. Granted, the speeds may vary, but it's still a good way of seeding properly and does wonders for your ratio.

Secondly, if this site was to actually offer (or require) you to rent server space off it then I suspect this might have detrimental effects. In general most torrent sites are only able to operate based on the fact that they don't host any copyrighted material. If they start renting out server space that you need to put your uploads into then even if hosted externally it might be argued that the site itself is, by proxy, hosting such material, which could open it up to enforceable legal action.

Hopefully more knowledgeable people will be able to weigh in on this.

I don't have an answer, but in this one the herringbone wood floor places it almost certainly in eastern Europe.

Welcome, one and all, to "Geoguessr - The Porn Edition!" Available now at all good retailers.

@ikpooo Yes, as long as you've already connected to the swarm you should be able to download. I had a svandylove collection come up as unregistered about 10 minutes after I started it, but there were about 20 people already in the swarm and I managed to download to 100%

@ikpooo Just a little tip for you:

If your client gives you an "unregistered torrent" error, as long as you've already connected to the swarm (and the seeder keeps it active) I think you can still download it. New people won't be able to join the swarm, but those already in it can stay connected to each other.

From the site rules:

@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.

I've only tried it a handful (Sorry!) of times, but I did enjoy it. I don't know if I'd describe it as painful or just uncomfortable when they first try to get into you, but it just feels different to anything else once it's in. Sadly, so far its just been a case of putting it in, twisting a few times and then pulling out, whereas I'd quite like to get to the point where they can go in and out repeatedly. (Not furious punching though! That's a bit extreme.)

It's very hard to say if it's the actual sensation that makes it enjoyable, the "taboo" of it or just the fact that that you're completely at the mercy of the top and the level of trust and intimacy that brings.

@Promi The short answer is you cannot make requests for people to upload specific torrents. Requests were banned on the site a few month ago sadly.

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.
