Rain and hail is better then plain sun, trust me

Nice to meet you too. So where did this beautiful rain, hail and thunder happened?

@pacifico:

I only hope we will not see scenes like "What the fuck, you are an old bitch!" in this site: we already have stupid prejudices in the real world and seeing those here would not be good.

Am I wrong? 

Totally not (sad thing though). I'm not into elder guys myself, but such "fuck off"s are just humanly impolite to say the least. Let's show some education here

P.S.: The weather at my place is rather pleasant

В uTorrent-е в правом нижнем углу должен быть значок: либо зеленый диск с галочкой, либо желтый треугольник с знаком восклицания. Нажмите двойным щелчком по нему. Откроется окно диагностики соединения. Начните диагностику. Первый тест определит вашу скорость, второй тест подскажет состояние порта. Если во втором тесте не появится большая зеленая галочка на левой стороне - значит порт закрыт.

А как открыть порт - это уже зависит от модели рутера. Уверен что в интернете есть инструкция как открыть порт для данной модели. Ну а сам порт вы найдете в настройках uTorrent-a. Если не изменяет память это в отделе Соединение.

Я думаю на ваш вопрос уже ответили на другой статье форума

Извиняюсь за запоздалый ответ - я был в отпуске последнюю неделю.

Из 9 раздаваемых на данном моменте торрентов 7 не имеют личеров - некому отдавать, вот они и будут на круглом нуле.

Для двух других ситуация такая: 159/10 и 59/1 - я так думаю что одна 159ая часть всей раздачи это очень мало.

В любом случае, советую посмотреть если у вас открыт порт. Если нет - нужно его открыть, так будет лучше.

@cumeaternc:

That makes two of us geographer. The only reason I have a Twitter account is to update the tracker status when the site goes down. Few members look at it though.

Yeah, people are used to drama and fuckary on these sites and pay no attention to useful info. Seriously, when I see people updating their status on Facebook each time they are about to go to the toilet, it makes me wanna facepalm myself to death.

By the way, if you're feeling moody, check out this site: hXXp://www.lamebook.com

Oops, sorry, missed that part.

I could be wrong, but my guess is they are visible to everyone. Any other moderator please correct me if I am indeed wrong

The red frames are for the staff. Uploaded pictures need to be approved by moderators before they stay permanently on the torrent's page.

And no-one can edit them, or remove them, after upload except staff. The only exception is when the uploader of the torrent uploaded the pictures within the time frame wen he can edit his own torrent.

@twinkletoes:

May I remind you that you made a similar observation: "the site has a 5 star torrent rating system.
Though we have to face facts - it is dead, no-one, or very few and very seldom, rates torrents
and no-one takes into account that rating when choosing a torrent to download."
http://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=15585.0

The observation was made for the rating system, not for the comments. And the quote you offered is cut out of context. The whole idea was to reform it for more useful purposes, not to dispose of it. Because I believe improving doesn't always mean removing.

@twinkletoes:

This thread illustrates my reasons for suggesting that the torrent "Comments" section should be removed

Don't want to sound rude, but following many of your posts - you would just remove everything from this site except the Download button.

We, moderators, can't implement your ideas, even if we wanted to. This is only available to administrators.

Obviously you don't have even the slightest clue of how hard is to maintain such a site working properly, when there are 100k people interacting with it each day, and everybody with his own complaints.

You don't give points to uploaders - no, that's bad, let's complain. You try to give points to uploaders - nope, it's still bad, no objectivity at awarding…

OK xenu, this may be a surprise to you, but you won't find absolute objectivity anywhere. That's life and you have to live with it.

And I'm very sorry you take everything that's going on here so personal.

I think this is starting to become personal…

For a live example of everything that's been said here: http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=110496

Note the checklist in the comment.

Maybe we could make a general entry, something like using a decent char set in title and description, that will include the useless caps and unreadable symbols.

As for the SBP begging: I still think this should be taken into account separately.

And I have a question: what do we do if the description is entirely not in English? It would be hard to analyze its content.

@leatherbear:

I will gladly contribute my points for Uwe's new "Well Prepared Torrent Program"   :cheers:

Count me in too.

I'm just not sure how, and where, are we supposed to mark the reason of the gifted SBP.

@Uwe:

… they will melt like ice cream in the sun.

Knowing the current situation, I'm not so sure about that 

@Uwe:

To note that the first two items of the Title points re exclusive to each other, so 1 point.

Ah, I see now

@Uwe:

See there for an example of 32 tumbnails on a contact sheet in quarter SD resolution > http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=110239 actually I see it got resized to 1023 pixel width, which means less per row and more rows would be better. The manual upload software seems to resize the big picture expanded to meat 1023 pixel width max. and 179 pixel width always for the thumnail preview on the description page. From this can be deducted that 240 width per thumbnail should be a better value, unless you think the thumbnails in the example are too small

On the contrary - it looks pretty good. I withdraw my first suggestion about 30 -> 20.

I think this guide is ready and good to go!  :cheers:

@Uwe:

I'll sleep over it. Any specific reason?

Maybe I'm wrong, but 30 thumbnails 320x240 cover the entire screen, and thus will be compressed - some screen making software makes a background which is larger then the thumbnails put together.

@Uwe:

But that blocks adding more pictures by other members, e.g. a missing contact sheet …

I fully agree with ballard1 in this case

@Uwe:

Yes. I am uncertain if "5" should not be better "7" and the count exclude the tags in the "Quality" table. 2 points for tags may look much, but we need the tagging system to take off

Ah, OK, I was just checking if I got it right. That seems fair to me. But the revised list would make it 21 points…
