I don't mind huge torrents as long as they come with contact sheets for everything. There's no way in the world that I am interested in all the 2000 files from the Sean Cody collection. I can instead download the contact sheets and check which ones I want and go directly to them without the need to download 1TB worth of mysterious files.

If something is too big and you're unable to grab it it's unfortunate, but you are not entitled to object to people taking a file and uploading it as is. That's already a time consuming task, not everybody has the time and technical skills required to re-process a file aiming for a smaller size while retaining visual quality.

Suggesting that the site should limit file sizes, or torrent sizes, is just as reasonable as suggesting you to hire a better internet service.

After downloading, you are completely free to re-encode the file yourself, and if you want to benefit from the ability to seed it you only need to upload it to the site.

And just to make it very clear, when you perform a recheck, you will see the download status going back to 0 and filling up, but notice that this time it is a gray bar, this means that the files you have in your HD are being hashed and compared to the information found inside the .torrent file so it is not a re-download.

@jojo2338 It is actually very simple, friend.

First, go to qbittorrent and pause the torrent.

Then, go through your hard drive and look for the files to make sure you really have them.

As soon as you find the files, check the directory they are in.

Go back to qbittorrent, check the download location in the general tab of the torrent file. Example:

If the directory where you found the files matches the directory reported as the "Save Path" then all you need to do is simply right-click the torrent and select "Force Recheck" and just wait for it to finish.

Because it is a HUGE torrent, performing a recheck can take hours!!! The more files you have, the longer it will take to finish.

After performing the recheck, if the client reports that your torrent is not 100% complete, it can be because some files are corrupt or they were not found in the download path.

@naota481 torrents must be downloaded to completion, if you skip a single file, it will never be reported as completed to the tracker. The client will report to you that it's completed and that you are seeding, but to the tracker you have never finished downloading it.

You need to either truly finish them by downloading the unselected files, or alternatively you can simply pause the torrents.

If you don't intend to download ALL files, pause the torrent as soon as it finishes, otherwise they will consume one download slot.

@yepyep7891 intriguing, at least. could you provide a screenshot of your tracker tab for one of the cases? don't forget to hide your passkey tho.

Here's an example, in my case it's a legitimately unregistered torrent, which do not report peers/seeds data. If your torrrent status says working and the message says unregistered torrent, that's a mystery to me. I would suspect that there would be more than one tracker, but guess you'd have mentioned if that was the case.

Did you notice if all the torrents with this "warning" tracker status share the same domain?

@kuda01-0 daily upload/download is not what you think. It does not mean that the max you have uploaded in a day was 2.5GB... It is simply a calculation of your total upload divided by the number of days that your account exists.

For instance if you have an account that is brand new, with only 1 day, and you upload 1GB, it will show:
Total upload: 1GB [daily: 1GB]

If on the next day you don't upload anything at all, this will change to:
Total upload: 1GB [daily: 500MB]

To me, the numbers are far too complex for accounts older than 2 days, so I hope my simple example was enough to clear your doubt.

@jjohnson84uk-0 Just some additional to close the discussion, Just4Fans have used video steganography to bust ONE user and make a media case about it. The user in question was subscribed to more than 50 profiles, and most of those profiles were getting leaked constantly. In order to check if it was indeed this guy, his account started being served exclusively with watermarked videos. After checking the leaks, he was confirmed to be the leaker and got banned from the platform.

@rys I agree with you very much, but if there's one thing I've learned from all these years downloading porn, it's that people are weird. I definitely am. You might as well be, too, but not for the reason you mentioned. But we all have our own kinks and turnoffs, and it's hard to let go of them when sharing content.

So most of the times, the uploader only has the file, how they name and describe it generally is just a consequence of his own taste and preferences.

I've seen many many regular videos being treated as having a given narrative, and when you go watch it, there's literally nothing there. Some things that we "see" in porn isn't even there for most other people, we see what we want to see.

So my advice is, if you find it hot give it a try and let yourself be the judge, don't go for titles and descriptions.

consists of watermarking the file image noise

consists of watermarking the file using* image noise

@jjohnson84uk-0 there is a technique called steganography, which consists of watermarking the file image noise, that is, slightly alterating the value of specific pixels, so it is completely spotless and only the person who encoded it has the password to decode it.

For images it is a very simple process, but for videos it's super tricky, complex and expensive.

Chances are that adult sites use stenography for pictures, but for videos the most likely way that they use to track the user ID would be video metadata and file names.

So if you decide to share, I'd advise you to skip the pictures, only share the videos. And before doing that, use ExifTool to get rid of all metadata, and rename every file.

@flyboy8v2 I think it's a natural progression to move away from that format because, as you said, with the internet being the main medium to deliver content, it becomes viable to produce individual scenes.

Back when DVD was a mainstream medium, studios were more considerate about it when producing the scenes. Nowadays plot-oriented porn is rare, and the production value is much lower compared to 20 years ago.

I think Titan Media has moved away from that format, their last feature film was released in 2022. In their online store you can still purchase physical copies of the ones they still have in stock, but they're all discontinued.

Cocky-Boys used to have some heavily plot-oriented, artsy films just a few years ago, and they seem to have ditched it too. They still release DVDs but it's just fucking, no plot.

@yepyep7891 restart your client or change your port to force-reannounce to all trackers.

@dat1hungdude I know it is not an issue, I was just trying to make your topic just a little less useless but of course it went straight over your head...

I will now proceed to create my own topic saying seeding file FOUND to let others know everything's ok on my side.

@dat1hungdude to me it isn't clear if you have checked the tracker status reported by the server to your torrent client. The fact that the download status states "seeding" doesn't mean the torrent exists in the server and or should be visible to other members.

If it tracker status says working, then in this case there's something catchy going with the title/torrent name. But if it reports "unregistered" that just means the torrent was taken down.

@blablarg18 Seeing this as a weakness, it's almost as if you're saying "if something's annoying you, you must face it and be annoyed indefinitely instead of doing something that'll effectively fix the issue"

But since the subject popped up, what I think truly shows weakness is making a rule that says people are not allowed to block you. I'm not talking about you of course, just a vent... God knows I tried
