@IncubusAZ Any time you are using torrents, I would strongly recommend the use of a VPN. When downloading and seeding torrents, it is always possible that a copyright troll may look at the peer pool and see what IP addresses are registered as doing what with the torrent. When you're using your own ISP, this leaves you directly exposed to the pool, and upon request, a copyright troll may refer to your ISP to get the information on the subscriber of the service that was used to download or seed the torrent.

Now, under Canadian Law, thanks to the case of Voltage Pictures Inc vs TekSavvy Solutions Inc, we finally set the precedent that an IP address alone is insufficient to gather information about the subscriber account as the IP address alone is only sufficient to identify the subscriber of the service, and does not necessarily identify the end user of the service. Nevertheless, in other parts of the world (especially in the United States), this information is often used to identify the subscriber of the service and serve them with all kinds of notices, such as a notice of litigation.

When you use a VPN on the other hand, if you're using a good VPN that does not log any traffic or connectivity, the copyright troll will only be able to identify the VPN service that was used, and once they contact said VPN provider, the VPN provider will be able to respond to the request with "I'm sorry. We cannot give you information we do not have."

Now, with NordVPN, I should caution you that there are two potential problems with them and our service. The first is that NordVPN logs everything, which means that potentially, if a copyright troll has the VPN IP address and a date/time stamp to identify when the IP address was used, potentially, NordVPN can trace this back not only to your account, but also may be able to provide your real IP address, which potentially opens you up to the same issue.

As well, it should be noted that NordVPN does not directly support P2P traffic in that they do not have a direct port forwarding option for their servers. With our system, this can create many a problems, as we require that the port that your torrent client uses to be forwarded through your home router or VPN to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a necessary step for getting proper upload traffic. While you may be able to download just fine with NordVPN, we cannot guarantee that upload traffic is going to work properly due to the nature of how NordVPN works.

If you're looking for a better VPN, I might be inclined to recommend the one I use, which is PrivateVPN. They support port forwarding for ONE port on ALL servers, then also have a list of servers which will forward ALL ports through the VPN to your computer. As well, PrivateVPN does not log anything, so in the event that a copyright troll should look into the peer pool and start cherry picking IP addresses to try to trace, PrivateVPN will not be able to give them any information on you as the subscriber or your real IP address, as none of this information is ever logged in the first place.

@raphjd I have never understood that.... A drug dealer will get an insanely long sentence, while a pedo gets but a slap on the wrist...

This seems strange as last I checked, people ask for drugs, but nobody asks to be molested.

@lololulu19 Would you like some cheese and crackers to go with that whine?

@SimonHR2001 The watermark is a unique identifier that is tagged into the video file in a coded way. When you watch the video, you do not see or hear anything out of the ordinary, but when you look at the actual encoding of the video on a geeky level, that's where it's visible.

So to answer your question, no... It is not invasive in any way. It is completely invisible without the use of more advanced tools.

@kalayaan This may just be the Canadian in me, but I respectfully disagree.

Death is too easy and quick of a way out of the hell that they have created. Think of the child(ren) in this case. For them, this is a nightmare, which will leave them with a lifetime of trauma and scarring that they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives. As such, IMHO, the sentence handed down to this couple should match that. Rather than let them off the hook easy with the death penalty, they should be kept alive and confined for the rest of their life, preferably with torture methods to inflict pain, suffering, and trauma on them that will last for the rest of their lives. Think of it as evening the playing field. If the children must endure the trauma for the rest of their lives, so too should the perpetrators of that trauma.

On the most part I do, but there's the odd person from time to time that I either think is gay and isn't, or that I don't think is gay and turns out that they are. Most of the time though, I'm good at being able to call it just by talking to a person.

@flozen Fear not.... I just noticed that and have moved it to the appropriate category in the boards.

@blablarg18 It's kind of depressing to see this kind of thing in the LGBT community. I would like to think that most of us are better than that, but sadly, there seems to be some bad apples in every group these days.

@bvbfan There are many reasons a torrent can be taken down, so unfortunately, it's hard to say for sure.

@FDS2000 This torrent is indeed strange and unusual. It seems that there is either some issue with the torrent itself, or that the content has not yet actually been fully downloaded by anyone. This is very strange.

@raphjd Of course not... How does one make money off of talking about that reality? Most things these days have nothing to do with what's right, or what's good for the environment, but rather, have everything to do with making someone, somewhere a LOT of money. It's been this way for a very long time now.

@raphjd Anything that is done at this day and age is never about what's right for the environment or right for anything else for that matter. It's all about making someone somewhere a LOT of money.

For example, in Canada, we've outlawed plastic grocery bags in the name of getting plastic out of the landfills, yet we still sell plastic garbage bags, and many items with plastic packaging. We've now made a switch to paper or reusable bags, but interestingly, I'm old enough to remember when we outlawed paper grocery bags because it was "too harmful to the forests". We've come full circle, and if you notice, the reusable bags come at a cost of $0.33 a piece on average, compared to the cost of the plastic ones at $0.05 each.

@letgot What is the URL for the torrent? I'll see if I can find an explanation for it for you.

@malcomma You may need to use a VPN to access it in that case sadly.

@dorftimbre Your issue is that you are using uTorrent 3.6.0, which has known compatibility issues with our site and system. To fix this, please roll it back to version 3.5.5 or earlier.

@raphjd This is absolutely the most hilarious thing I have seen today. Of course it is, because many things about the vaccine and its mandate have turned out to be based on a lie with absolutely no scientific evidence.

The fact that there are more deaths among vaccinated clearly suggests that there is more about the vaccine that was a total lie as well. One could almost wonder if this may be because the vaccine itself is actually an intentional form of population control, which is why many countries pushed so hard to make people get them.

In Canada for example, there was a time when you could not do such things as go to the movies or eat in a restaurant without showing proof of double vaccination. It should be no wonder that the death toll is MUCH higher in people who are vaccinated.

@sirtricksalo Usually, a seedbox will have an FTP option in which to upload the contents of a torrent to the seedbox through FTP, at which point you can open the .torrent file on the seedbox to begin seeding the torrent from the seedbox.

@jakehawk You are probably using the old .ru domain, which is what the forums use. You need to sign in with the same login on the new .rent domain to see the link.

@kalayaan For me, it's the sight of condoms in porn. For some reason, it's just a boner killer for me. I wanna feel a hard cock, not some piece of rubber/latex.

@Kekkaishi That is because the forum is still hosted on the old domain. We are working on the permanent fix to this, but it's not going to be a simple task to say the least.
