@john32123666 thank you very much! Now seems to work.

BTW would you mind to send me a PM? (as a test)

I find this very disturbing. I mean why do people need see my profile to send me a PM? Why do I have to make public any other info than my nick?
A dummy profile page with the nickname only would do the trick to allow PMs. No more info is necessary.

Also forum profiles seem to be not only public, but indexed in google and show show join date and last connection.

The privacy leve description its unclear to me as well:
Which is the hierarchy?
Most private: Strong, then Normal, then Low? Because "everything" seems to be more or equal than anything else.

Normal privacy is less private than low?
"Everything will be showed" what everything means?
Low
People wont see my profile but will see my peers and uploads?
Strong
seems pretty clear.

Shouldn't the Normal (default) be:
"Only profile name (and location?) will be shown"

@john32123666 said in send/receive PMs problem.:

A private profile and block will refuse/reject incoming PM ...
only staff/mod can modify this option ...
@ least 6 months of membership to access and allowed PM/DM to be approve ...

You mean the "Privacy Level" of the profile affects the ability to send/receive PMs?

I've got:
Normal
Low
Strong

I've tried the three of them but no "send new PM" or similar button appears in the messaging page.

I have PMs from other users (back to 2016) so I was able to send/receive PMs that for sure, also the account is older than 6 months.

A user told me I can't receive PMs.
My block list is empty.

This is my current configuration for PMs:

I've noticed I don't have a "send PM" button anywhere in my Message Sent page:

can you check this out please?

Thank you in advance.

f.e. here I am sharing "REDCLARK" torrent (29.1GB), and does not seem to be neither active nor dead. I can't find it in the tracker. Used to be rather popular.
I could reupload the torrent (wasn't mine) and share the content again or just delete it and make the content unavailable.
I'm not planning to delete the files (at least most of them) If i delete the torrent. I find a shame to just make the content unavailable, there are other torrents of this guy, but not as complete as this one.

How do I know if it was taken down? If It was, how come there are older torrents with part of its content?
The expected "user behavour" is delete the torrent and forget about it?

@eobox91103 said in Handling "dead" torrents.:

Strictly speaking, a torrent that is removed won't "revive." But, if the original uploader (or someone who has snatched all of the content) uploads a new torrent with the same name and file contents, it will look similar enough to the tracker that if you still have the original torrent in your client, the tracker will connect to it and you can resume seeding to new leechers. While in my experience this doesn't happen very often, I will keep a dead torrent active in my client for a few days to see if a replacement torrent is uploaded. If this hasn't happened in a week, I'll delete the torrent from my client, and archive or delete any downloaded material.

That's my point.

@bi4smooth:

I get your point. I don't do it for the ratio but for keeping as many torrents as long as possible. I just would like to clean up some stuff in case its not possible to reupload again.

Is there a way for the tracker to better report why a torrent is dead on the torrent client side?

I've got "some" unregistered torrents. (As reported by the tracker)
That means:

1. taken down?
2. tracked decided to mark them as "dead"?
3. ¿?¿?

Why I don't delete them? Because sometimes torrents "revive".

Could you improve that messaging system please?

@lololulu19 Camera noise.
In the past 10 years camera sensors have skyrocketed in terms of noise. I would say mainly thanks to Sony (lead technology). But because of mobile demand (lead consumer/"user").
When I mean noise I mean higher sensitivity, bla bla.
Thus, even theater movies from the late '10 look noisy compared to nowadays crisp and noise-free tv-shows recorded in the past 18-24 months.

Past production chain:
"Low quality" native resolution source sensor --> "low quality" lossy codec for production (4:2:0) --> poor reencoding low bitrate (MPEG2, QT, whatever). --> CRT displays /Early LCD (usually low res, low dpi)

Current production chain:
"High quality" high resolution source sensor --> "high quality" lossy or almost lossless codec in production (4:4:4 or 4:2:2) --> Video Downsizing (even more noise reduction) --> high quality reencoding with higher bitrate (H264, H265, VP9, AV1) --> IPS/OLED displays (higher res, higuer dpi)

So:

1. Porn was usually recorded in poor light conditions and/or not top of the notch cameras.
2. Access to professional grade or even cinematographic grade cameras and production process has reduced 100 times (maybe more) in the past 20 years.
3. The average consumer display has 6-20 times the pixels, 4-10 times the contrast, and 3-5 times the colour gamut compared to the DVD era.

There you have it.

@john32123666 Thank you very much.
It was a firewall rule.

My torrents are turning red with a warning that There was an error with the torrent, my permissions don't allow to reach a certain socket. (utorrent 3).

Im not talking about 10 or 20, but hundreds.

What informatino do you need to help me debug this problem?

Yes, I would like the request section to come back as well. And maybe limit it to some users as before.
I feel there's a lot of stuff this site is missing because of the visibility of some torrents, and I doubt there is another place with such a traffic and difussion.

Why won't find a way to merge both? We're missing an opportunity here.

I understand the reasons why several versions of the same video are allowed in the tracker. Some people don't have the bandwidth to download certain versions.

But the pumping muscle versioning affair is getting to far. There are four or five sets of collections and four or five versions of the same video.

My suggestion to avoid this and refrain this collection and versioning is a modification in the rule that says that active torrents with the same content already in the tracker must be in the first line of the description.
I.e. people has to look if another "pumpingmuscle" "jacob 1" is already present and if there is cite it the description.

as:
ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS
P ump ing  Mus cle  Jac ob  1  2015 4GB file version:
http:/nameoftheurlofthebiggerorsmalleractivetorrent.
etc..

If not used the duplicate button should be used to alert the original publisher to add that info or the torrent will be deleted.

It actually was in http instead of https. In https it says:

Could not establish secure connection. Error -2146893048

I've tried in another client viersion with another port and i get the same 404 error. But curiously I can download several other torrents at the same time while I write this.

I'm unable to download the torrent called "JOHN B PHOTO SHOOT 2012-2"

The torrent is active and it has 8/9 seeds but I get the "HTTP Error 404" in the torrent client.

It doesn't happen with other torrents, and I've redownloaded the torrent file several times (last time today) but download never starts.
My ratio is ok, and my limits are ok.

Bring Browse Back!!  :cheesy2:

btw, adding a simple "browse freelech" would also be great. And disabling that column swap would be cool as well.

The entire post was about rephrasing the rules…

Hi,
the "duplicate" torrent description and report should be change in some manners.

I've seen, specially for pumping muscle video, people who's trying to post as "new" three kinds of videos:

• cropped videos
• reencoded videos
• "compilations"

I understand that, a long time ago, with war formats of "DVD.iso", wmv, mov, etc. "reencoding" a video could be practical to transfer videos from one platform to another, and its acceptable, in some way even nowadays. But reencoded versions of mp4 videos should not be allowed given are "totally" cross platform.

Same happens with compilations. People is posting compilations of videos with lots of seeds of each individual video. Not adding all the information regarding the videos attached to mislead people. Those compliations should considered duplicates.

Finally cropped videos can be understood, as long as the final weight of the torrent is clearly a fraction of the original one (lets say 30%). Making a new torrent of a video because 15% of the original footage was remove should be consirederd duplicate too.

Please revise the policy about duplicated torrents.

Another example, Im seeding this torrent romeo_ib(part1) and there is only one leecher connected. Ok, I have my limit up to 50kb/s and the guy si downloading at 4.3kb/s.
Of course could be the super rare possibility that he is downloading limited to 135kb/s instead of taking full advantage of my free uploading bandwidth and raise it up to 180kb/s.

I'm facing the same issue and the facts are:

NAT works 100% because I've other ports to the same computer for another torrent client (same utorrent) and works flawless (has worked for almost 5 years).
In order to discart port forwarding I swapped the ports from the trackers (I changed to GT the one I used to use to another tracked just in case).
Client configuration is fine, because I use one similar to the other tracker in the same program.
I've got seeding more than 70 torrents and about 10-12 of them always have leechers.
Speed limit is far below the average download rate and I've got plenty of upload margin compared to the speed limit (upload).

How so I dont seed? I dont get it.
I'm seeding, I've leechers, I've bandwith but I don't upload.
