@BKisalive What new guidance?

frostycab

@cp2000 As far as I know you can seed from multiple IPs with no issues. You just need to make sure that nobody else with an account here is seeding from any of them or you'll get flagged for multiple accounts.

In practical terms, my advice would be to put the newest and most popular torrents in your seedbox, and only seed older and less in-demand stuff from your home connection so that you can make the most of the insane upload speeds you tend to get from a seedbox.

Doesn't ring a bell, but have a look at this. It might jog your memory:

I'm sat on nearly 7500 points, and that's only worth about 720GB, so unless you've been collecting for a looong time I doubt you're going to get far like that. What up/down speeds do you get from your ISP?

You're not at the panic stage, regardless. You've got nearly 4TB of download buffer before you hit your 0.8 minimum ratio. If you're dead-set on improving things then I'd defo say to get a seedbox for a month to try it, as you should be be able to get back k to 1.1 with some careful curating of what you download. Even if you don't go down that route you should find that targeting downloads with the characteristics I outlined above should help, as long as your speeds are what I'd term as competitive and not Stone Age.

Back when I had potato internet which made it a nightmare to maintain a good ratio I did try using a seedbox, and only for a single month at a time. It's been ages since I had to do it, but all I did was add anything new that looked like it would become popular. (Think popular performers in the busiest categories. That sort of thing.) I'd jump onto anything that:

Was uploaded very recently, preferably in the last few hours, and
Had only 1 or perhaps 2 seeders with lots of leechers, and
the bigger the download the better, (Simply means there's more upload traffic to be had)

You ignore the whole concept of downloading what you want for yourself, and concentrate on what others are hungry for, and the high speeds you get make you a very attractive peer to connect to.. As I say it's been a while but I seem to remember being able to farm in excess of TB of upload credit in a single month that way with very little effort and I'm sure I could get even higher rewards if I really tried, all for the paltry sum of about £10 to £15 for the seedbox.

As @ianfontinell-0 says, you need to look at how big your deficit is first. Then you know what it will take to fix it. If you give us some numbers I'm sure it'll be an easy task.

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.

It's getting to be a bit depressing seeing just how many members haven't read the site rules...

frostycab

@romantyke Oh hai!

frostycab

Sometimes you may just have to accept the possibility that nobody on the site has the file anymore and that a reseed request will never get filled. It's a shame, but it happens.

frostycab

Are they even producing new content? I see quite a bit of their older stuff being posted on various sites as new DVDs under new studio labels purporting to be new scenes. I know a lot of studios do that from time to time, but it's like they're just re-releasing their whole back catalogue and pretending it's all new. Bit of a shitty move with regards to anyone who still buys physical copies.

@john32123666 I suspect that in many cases the small images are a result of people grabbing the preview thumbs from the web rather than grabbing the full image (or indeed bothering to just take their own screenshots.)

frostycab

@cp2000 said in Long time around, first post:

last question - new here - where do people post requests for new torrents / videos / models? I cant seem to find it? Idk if that is a taboo forum thing? Thanks

If you plan to stay then my advice would be "Don't." Requests for content have been banned across the whole site for quite a long time now. You risk the wrath of the powers that be if you take the risk.

If I may be so bold, it would be a good idea to review the rules ever so often, and actually read them in such a way that you are confident you understand them, which many members seem to not bother doing. This particular rule is found in the "General Rules" section and reads "Requests for uploads are strictly prohibited. This includes the torrent descriptions, comments, forum and shoudbox" (Typos and all! LOL)

frostycab

@john32123666 Yes, that's how I can instantly see if a listing is missing the pics, but its gone on all listings for me now, even if there are pics for them.

I think you can edit your posts if you're quick, but after a short period of time they become uneditable. (Is that a word?) In a way it's a good thing as it stops people going back and changing the context of a post after loads of replies respond to the initial version.

frostycab

Just popped in now to see what's been added today, and noticed that on the "Search (old)" pages (https://www.gaytor.rent/search.php) the small camera icon that appeared after the title of each torrent is now missing. The images still appear when hovering over the title, but the camera used to let you preview them at full size.

I suspect somebody has touched something they didn't mean to and it has had ripple effects on everything else.

frostycab

Sorry, but I can't edit my previous post. Where I said "3 months later" it should have read "15 months later."

@ianfontinell-0 Almost exactly 2 years ago I asked about getting a single line of text removed/updated on the page explaining bonus points. 3 months later a mod eventually replied that it was something that could only be done by Joker. It still has the wrong information on it, so I agree that the chances of improvements to the functionality of the site are but a fevered dream.

I don't mean any of that in a nasty way. I have no idea if the site is some sort of commercial investment that actually makes the owners a bit of money or if it runs at a loss and is just kept going in an altruistic manner. It's just that, to me at least, it feels like an unwanted pet left chained up in the yard. The animal inspectors (mods) check to see it's not being mistreated, and occasionally someone walking by will throw some food over the fence for it (donations). Beyond that, given previous observations, I don't see anything changing .

Another 10 uploads using the same pics appeared earlier today.

frostycab

@jpo I never use it on mobile, but out of interest is landscape mode no better?

It seems to have become very common these days to add lots of pics to upload listings that aren't actually from the upload itself. These are usually album/promo pics that show one or some of the performers posing for headshots or whatever. I'm not totally opposed to having clear shots of performers somewhere, but they're starting to get spammed in such a way as to make the site messy.

By way of example I present this set of upload from a 2-hour window earlier today:

10 uploads in 2 hours all using the same pictures over and over again. They have kindly added a thumbnail sheet for each one which I suppose might make them compliant with the rules, but I would argue that the overall presentation is misleading.

This is becoming more and more common it seems. Is there any point in reporting them all, and if so, how? Do we just report it as pic-spamming or what?
