@MrMazda you are confusing v2 protocol for something else that happened in the past, before v2 was developed. Some torrent clients had their own implementation of padding files but it was still the old v1 protocol, those files existed in the disk and were required for seeding. v2 protocol is not the same thing. Hybrid torrents, specially, have metadata and file tree of both v1 and v2 protocols. v1 protocol has no padding whatsoever. If you'e using a client that is not compatible with v2, it will fall back to the regular v1 torrent.

Padding files are not specific to any particular torrent client. When was the last time you experienced this issue yourself? What client were you using, and how old was the torrent distribution?

@MrMazda said in Torrent did disappear:

@dargard-0 The torrent contained padding files, which are not allowed, as they artificially inflate the size of the torrent.

Padding files are a structural feature for hashing/alignment, they're strictly theoretical and should be excluded from size calculations and file listings.

They only exist in the metadata as zero-byte alignment entries and are never downloaded, uploaded, or stored. The total data exchanged between peers always equals the size of the real files only. Any larger “total size” you see comes from how the tracker handles the file list, not from actual network usage.

There is no ratio gain or advantage for the uploader and, if anything, it's a disadvantage.

A useful comparison with BitTorrent v1:

• v1 (no padding): Files share pieces. If you select only some files, you are still required to transfer parts of unwanted files. This is real bandwidth usage and counts toward the user's ratio.

• v2/hybrid (with padding): Files are aligned. You download exactly the files you select, no useless byte transfers that harm your ratio.

Take as example a 200 GB torrent with many small files. In v1, partial downloads can easily add hundreds of MB (or more) of unavoidable extra data due to piece overlap, harming the user's ratio. In v2/hybrid, the "total size" reported by the tracker can be ~%5 bigger, only because the tracker is summing up real files and padding files together, which is incorrect and doesn't reflect how the client will handle the torrent. The actual transferred data can never exceed 200 GB, and partial downloads remain exact, sparing member's ratio and bandwidth.

Only thing the site needs to do is to ignore padding files, don't count them towards the total file size and not show them in the file list.

And below, an example of a real cheating scenario that you cannot detect:
Make a torrent with hundreds or thousands of small files and use a massive piece size like 128MB. If a member tries to download one single 1MB file, they will be forced to download at least 128MB.

@ianfontinell-0
I didn't know a sex therapist is a thing.

It very much is, and it's quite expensive

But it seems a common enough problem because the number of people who can successfully top seems to be low. It also depends on having a partner who knows how to get you up for one... and I think I need more than one night stands and sauna sessions for this.

That's also something to consider, finding someone you trust and with whom you already have a solid bond is key for figuring those things out. Specially if you're only used to nsa and one night stands with total strangers.

It's easy to assume that one thing is simple and easy and that struggling with it indicates that there's something wrong with ourselves, when we are just trying too hard to fit a shoe that isn't ours.

@Chaser18 the presence of the I flag shows your port is working fine, you are able to receive incoming connections, so your client is not a passive node. The poor seeding performance you're getting is most likely caused by low demand for the torrents you're downloading. Torrents that have too many seeders and few leechers.

You need to find a balance between the things you want to download, and the things that have potential to boost your ratio. If you only download things that already have lots of seeders, your ratio will plummet fast.

Good ways to increase seeding chances:

• freshly uploaded torrents with only 1 seeder.
• torrents with few seeders that just went freeleech.
• freeleeching torrents that you already have in your client and that have few seeders.

And as a last resort, you can buy a seedbox subscription. They are designed to increase torrenting efficiency:

• You are assigned a public IP and port range
• Symmetrical gigabit speeds
• More permissive NAT/Firewall rules
• 24/7 Uptime
• Better latency

Together all those factors guarantee your torrent client is always online and reachable with no service interruption, with low latency and high speeds that are often prioritized by the bittorrent protocol.

With a seedbox you can set rules to automatically download certain torrents and automatically delete torrents after they reach a certain ratio, freeing up space for other fresh torrents with higher demand. You could run a seedbox exclusively for seed farming, and use your home computer to download what you want to keep.

@Chaser18 it definitely sounds like anxiety and it definitely will require more than a few affirming words over the internet to overcome, i speak from experience as I had the exact same problem.

The anxiety, as the name suggests, is a suffering by anticipation, you assume things will go bad in a very specific and deterministic way.

Things that could influence in the ineptitude to get hard are the fear/shame of having a lackluster performance that the other cannot really enjoy, fear/shame of coming too fast, fear/shame of not coming at all, shame of being seen/judged as you perform.

It is also possible that the difficulty to maintain a boner is not really the anxiety but porn addiction, if you're constantly watching porn and rarely make out with others or jerk-off without visual stimuli, you might fail to get hard when presented with a different scenario. Two hot guys fucking in front of you might not get you hard even though you know if you record and watch it alone it will.

These things are best addressed with a professional sex therapist.

@Chaser18 said in Nothing seems to seed:

How do I know this passive node thing is working properly?

When the designated port is open and reachable, you should see the I (uppercase i) flag listed in the peer flags in active torrents. That is, torrents that are either downloading or uploading (i.e, not stalled). The I flag is more common to appear when you are seeding.

It's easier to check with popular torrents (could be from public or private tracker, as long as it has lots of leechers). If you are often actively seeding but you never see the I flag appear for any connected peer, that's a bad sign...

The complete absence of the I flag means you have port issues. You could set a port correctly in your router and client and it still not be reachable due to your ISP's infrastructure.

thanks

@vancer while i was assisting we discovered that he had a upload restriction. i would suggest that you add a check before raising the torrent verification error message, to see if the upload really worked, for example checking if the first entry from https://www.gaytor.rent/mytorrents.php matches what was just uploaded.

@porkyV2 said in hello! could someone kindly name the video this came from? thanks in advance!:

@ianfontinell-0 thanks! he's also the one im looking for. do you know his porn name? maybe i can search by that?

that will be tricky, he shares his name with a very famous porn actor: John Thomas. You can check this link for more details: https://www.iafd.com/person.rme/id=032ad8e9-d302-4195-bded-fc9dff7a59b1

i don't think it is a porn scene, although i could be wrong... seems like just a group of kinky bears.

the one with the mustache have made a bunch of porn and has a IAFD Page, but i didn't find anything about the others.

@frostycab that is fairly true, asg is the least crap

In this particular case the DMCA agents for once have all my support. I hope MEN, ASGMax and SayUncle will join them as well. Too much garbage making its way to this site.

I started playing The Alters today... For someone with zero experience with survival games, it's been painfully overwhelming. I was one day away from my very first sunrise and I barely managed to gather enough resources to finish the mission, but it doesn't matter much because my alters rebelled against me and I died

@jsantana-0 said in How many takedowns in how long to be banned:

as mentioned I just had a video that was a new format of one posted many times taken down. So I'm figuring one month break from uploading to make sure not identified as frequently posting videos taken down despite best effort to avoid?

in this case the best effort would be to refrain from posting something that you know has a high risk of being removed

that said, best practice would be: post one single torrent and wait one or two weeks to see if it stays up. if it's up for more than a week, odds of it getting reported later are low.

if it's downed in the meantime, move on with life and don't try uploading again for a couple of months, to avoid getting multiple strikes in a row in a short period.

if it's still there after a week, you can consider posting something else.

in case anyone is interested, this video is available in this torrent: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=22302324f23d7e6f8cca2248b61a61e3a0297439a303829a

file name is "003 - 0hqhatqn5ahn788qi348f_source.mp4"

@jsantana-0 there are no publicly available guidelines about this, the rules only state that recurring infringement might lead to account termination, but we cannot even be sure that this rule is enforced or if it's just there for the sake of being there.

that said, before any ban you will get a 90-day upload restriction and at this point if you are smart enough you will stop trying to contribute with new uploads.
