@lololulu19 said in Used to be seeding thousands and downloading dozens.. but now 0/0:

another bug has popped up in the system

I routinely have several thousand torrents available to seed online, and my main screen shows a number in the thousands for available uploads and several dozen which are in an unfinished state.

Now I see that I have 0 for both.. nothing! As if I don't exist.
I have this massive library of torrents to share, but nobody is benefitting from my many years of "hard" work.

As an active member of the forum, I will accept your challenge! I will crawl down my own Internet wires and unclog your Internet!

Honestly, dude, that's what the helpdesk is there for...

My educumated guess is that your ISP is blocking the tracker - either in DNS, or by IP address.
How to fix?

VPN Alternate DNS server (I like 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 - CloudFlare)

That's their own business [period] ...
You can't view specific details or any information from a site,

I use Mullvad for my VPN service (without dedicated IP [they don't offer them yet]) for its long-standing performance for torrenting. I tried PIA with a dedicated IP but I became paranoid the IP could be traced and their performance was lack-luster in torrenting vs Mullvad.

When I connect to this site I want to ensure that my activity is not traceable by my ISP or other potential prying eyes (i.e. government agencies). I do not want anyone to have the slightest notion that I am visiting this site, and it is the reason I use VPN, including initially accessing the site's domains (IPs) and logging in.

What you are proposing runs counter to the very reason and purpose I use VPN for accessing and interacting with this site's domains: anonymity.

Your concern may be well-founded and I can agree there is the potential for misuse by bad actors. But does that level of issue warrant enough severity as to prevent all VPN connectivity for initially accessing and logging into the site's domains via browser? I'd argue against that for the very benefit VPN provides those of us who use it legitimately for protection from ISPs, local government sniffing, etc..Think of all the people who may use VPN for the very protection of anonymity vs. being exposed and traceable. I can think of a handful of countries that will push gay men from the top's of buildings to their deaths with spectators cheering below. VPN is a service for a reason: it provides protection through anonymity and bypasses restrictions of access to content.

I am sure the tech-gurus of the site know how to spot and identify the bad actors. For those of use who do torrent, are continually seeding thousands of torrents - we have the 'token' of our profile-identity embedded in our torrents. Perhaps there is some way the tech gurus can associate our web browser IP to our torrent tokens? Not sure, I'll have to defer to them on that.

@flozen oh.. and I considered that he might be catfishing me.. but.. that is not the case. I am 100% sure that it is him messaging me, and those are photos of himself.
He seems to send me stuff everytime he shaves his pubes and balls.. which is when he is extremely horny.

From the reviews I've seen about this, I'd give it a go. Thanks for this information.

@DandyLion said in Memberships... auto-approved:

The "Auto-Approval" is for their UPLOADS to be allowed, instead of going into a queue where a moderator has to verify everything about the upload.
Sure a few bad uploads slip through but they are quickly removed.

"FLOODED with duplicates from people just trying to hit their quota to keep their accounts."

"We like to keep our uploads on the side of Quality over Quantity."

@ Dandy, about this prospective, Thank You !!! for this input. make sense @ all ...👍

@ianfontinell again I must be stupid.. because I don't understand that.

Im pretty sure the issue is that QTM is trying to connect to gaytorrent.ru, not gaytor.rent. Same issue with manual uploading, if the tracker is based on gaytorrent.ru not the new one, the upload will fail to seed.
Dont know how to solve the QTM one though.

@flozen OK!

NP!

LOL

CU Ltr!

@Arago44 Yes... perhaps they will.. "Consider yourself.. at home.. Consider yourself.. part of the family.."

I DO agree with the reasoning for removing the request section, because it was being grossly abused by trolls who had alterior motives. BUT, I think there should be a section that is only accessible to established super power users.. where we can put our superior minds and throbbing cocks together to achieve great things.

@lololulu19 Perhaps it is simply not gerg's type.

Body-shaved young models are not my type as well, though I'm pleased for those who enjoyed the clip.

@lololulu19

Your premise is off... you cannot "categorize" bisexuals any more than you can homosexuals!

In this forum alone, you likely have men like me, who:

love smooth men, but not hairy men love thin, lithe men and women love intelligent, sarcastic, whimsical men and women

I could go on and on - deep into a diatribe into all the different kinds of things men like (or do not like) sexually...

But here's what I've taught my sons:

Every man is "wired" a little differently - and there is no one, single, "right" way -- although there are many "wrong" ways (pedophilia, rape, public (unwanted) exposure - and others - are indeed "wrong" by our societal norms) As a man, you owe it to yourself to explore "how you're wired" - and that means experimentation. Fortunately, you have a near-flawless indicator built-in:
If your penis gets hard, stays hard, and you have an amazing orgasm - it's probably something you're wired for....
But, if you have to struggle to stay hard, or cannot reach an orgasm (yes, men CAN fake an orgasm!), then you're probably NOT "wired" for that...
And, if either of these experiences are "repeatable" - then you're getting a good idea about what makes you tick! As you learn to "map" your own sexuality, also learn to accept it - because you don't get to choose it, it's just who you are... the earlier you accept this, the happier you will be (at least in your sex-life!) Remember though - your "sex map" is not a static, unchanging thing... it can (and likely will) change over time. (For example, at 20 you probably won't find 50 y/o men or women sexually attractive, but 30 years later, at 50, you likely will!) Finally: don't overthink it (or over-apply your mapping): if you can't get hard with her, it doesn't mean you're gay - only that you're not into her!

As an aside to readers here: I strongly believe in experimentation - I've known men who thought they were 100% straight - until they had their first m/m encounter! I've also known men who thought they were 100% gay, until they had a sexual encounter with a woman!

Even in the realm of most "kink" - my belief is "don't knock it 'til you've tried it!"

@john32123666 I meant hard pore corn movies... not mainstream.

@john32123666 I hope that comment was directed at ianfontinell and not me. I blocked him so I no longer have to deal with him trolling and attacking my comments.

@lololulu19

Actually, the issue I think you're seeing there (I don't know for sure, as I'm not downloading that torrent) is that there are plenty of leechers (people who don't have the whole thing), but likely only the original seeder (uploader) so far - and they may not be seeding it at all any longer, or may just have a really slow connection.

If you "report" the torrent, a staff member may be able to look into the uploader's initial seeding.

This gets REALLY problematic when you consider that other, potentially faster, uploaders are stopped from uploading because it would be a duplicate.

It's REALLY important that: IF you upload, make sure you can SEED!

BTW: This is the 2nd "new topic" about basically the same thing... you know, you don't get credit anymore for starting new topics (or posting at all)... that ended years ago when the forum software was changed...

ISPs are starting to use this tactic more and more - when they discover torrenting sites, they don't block them on your IP - instead, they stop resolving them in DNS (which, presumably, blocks them for all!)

As noted, one easy solution is to use alternate DNS solutions.

I, personally, use the CloudFlare DNS services at IP addresses 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1. CloudFlare is a major Internet provider - just not in the "last mile" delivery of services. Their DNS servers are non-logging and if you want REAL protection, they offer DNS services over encrypted channels!

Of course, if you use a VPN, the DNS servers you use will usually be those assigned by your VPN provider - which can ALSO be overridden to use the CloudFlare (or other) DNS services!

@lololulu19
Something similar happened to me, it wouldn't let me download any torrent, I spent about a month without knowing what it was until I finally realized what it was, check in your profile options if the SSL Tracker box is checked, yes is not marked, mark it, your problem should be solved.

@lololulu19 Looks like your problem is solved. cheers
