@john32123666 No... But you're one of a small few of our users who seems to have a database of every porn in existence somehow lol

@lololulu19 Thinking you can get off without a rape charge for anal sex or sex with another man is just absurd. You most definitely CAN catch a rape charge for it, even if there is no risk of pregnancy.

@jokuihmemies Except that this is the same user... I have revoked their upload rights again, as they keep repeating the same infractions, despite multiple warnings.

@blablarg18 Oh please.... This is just a convenient out to try to get it censored. I don't buy it.

I did some digging and found out that the torrent was deleted by the uploader, only to be uploaded again a few hours later. I have taken corrective measures in this matter.

I have been keeping an eye on the situation and have noticed that at times, many torrents will time out, but after some time, come back to life. I have notified the sysop of this.

@raphjd said in Identifying the uploader:

@jez855

There is no such thing as 100% security when doing things online.

Make sure you use a trusted VPN.

Not only do you want to use a trusted VPN so that your real IP address is not visible but you will also want to make sure that you never leave a comment on any of the torrents, as your username will appear in the comments as the uploader.

As for the torrent itself, only staff are able to see the username of the person who uploaded the torrent. Anyone who is not staff would only see uploaded by Anonymous.

@flozen Don't threaten me with a good time! Haha!

@blablarg18 I mean... He can demand anything that he wants, but that doesn't mean we have to comply.

Usually, my response to such demands is to tell them to file a complaint by calling 1-800-EAT-SHIT lol

@jokuihmemies Generally this is done when mods remove a torrent. If it is a dupe, they'll get a message saying that it's been confirmed to be a dupe. If it's a DMCA take down, they'll also get a message as such.

There are a handful of other reasons why a torrent may get deleted. Generally, mods do message the uploader to let them know WHY the torrent is being removed.

Usually invalid download state means that the torrent ran into an error the last time you had your torrent client open, usually that there are file(s) supposedly missing. Data is Invalid is usually a sign that when it completed a file, it did not remove the .!ut from the end of the file name, so it thinks the file is not there, as it was reported as 100% downloaded, but the file was not renamed to remove the partial status from the end of the file name.

In both cases, Force Re-Check, then starting the torrent will fix this.

I'm in Kitchener, but I have a minivan, so it may be possible to arrange something, though I loathe driving through Toronto completely, especially at rush hour haha

@lololulu19 Some VPN providers also have a DPI firewall option, which will not only use TCP 443 instead of the default UDP 1194, but will also block DPI systems from determining that the traffic is actually VPN traffic.

@lololulu19 This is because they try to censor P2P traffic across their network. If you have a VPN like PrivateVPN, you can connect to the VPN using port TCP 443 to evade their port restrictions and packet sniffing, then open your torrent client, and it should give you no problems.

The key is using TCP 443... Traditional VPN connections can be filtered based on port, however you cannot realistically censor or block port TCP 443 without blocking most of the internet.

This is usually a sign of improper port forwarding. You need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home network or VPN to your computer. This is a critical step to being able to get proper upload traffic.

@jokuihmemies Except that this is the same user... I have revoked their upload rights again, as they keep repeating the same infractions, despite multiple warnings.

This is very interesting... The system admin must have been doing something. I see that even on a regular user account, these things are all up and running. If you're still having a problem, let me know.

@lololulu19 If you're going to compare Trump to Jesus, I'll leave it at this....

Nail him up to a cross and let him die... If he comes back in 3 days. I'll admit I was wrong.

@Douseikekkon There is a system for uploaded pictures, and it's a human review process. That said though, there is no screening for pictures uploaded with the initial upload

@ianfontinell-0 I do not see any torrents active at the moment, so I can't tell what data is being reported to the tracker. It may be possible that your passkey has been compromised.
