@looselips If yours was taken down due to DMCA you can be sure that it's only a matter of time before the other upload that (for now) has remained up and alive will also get zapped. It's just a matter of time.

@semurg30 No staff has the ability to control or modify the rate at which a torrent transfers. If you have the URL of the torrent, I could look a little more into the matter and see what's going on for you.

@eobox91103 Don't ya just love the good old days of porn on VHS? Haha!

@ikpooo said in Dead Torrent:

Holy shit, it works, someone make the torrent freeleech!
I can't thank you guys enough for all the advice and tips

You're welcome.... I looked at your profile and saw what you were trying to download, so I worked some magic to get it going for you.

@blablarg18 There is a very compelling documentary on this very thing, claiming it to likely be an "accident". It's called "The Smoking Gun". This documentary only confirmed this theory for me. They claim it was an accident, but if it were an accident, why all the cover up?

@blablarg18 Call me a conspiracy theorist if you must, but I've known for a long time that JFK had his brains blown out with a hallow point because he couldn't be bought.

@ikpooo A dead torrent is a torrent that no longer has any seeders. It's possible that you MAY be able to bring life back to it by requesting a re-seed using the button at the bottom of the page, but it's hit or miss as to whether or not it will come back to life.

This just cracks me up....

The transphobic content targeting events such as Patterson’s is just a subset of the hateful content about Jews, Muslims, women, Black people, Asians and others that has internet safety advocates and an increasing number of lawmakers in the United States and elsewhere pushing for tougher regulations that would force tech companies to do more.

In other words, much like Bill C-10 in Canada which needs to be shot down in flames, the answer is to censor the internet. The only problem with this is that these measures are often (at least in Canada) taken too far and shut down anything that does not fit the narrative that the government wants to push.

Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome to communist China. Merely censoring offending content won't do a damn thing to curb this kind of behaviour. It will only make this kind of thing get taken to other platforms where it will be tolerated. What needs to happen instead is instead of getting the tech companies to shut it down, hate crime charges need to be brought forward and the individuals in question need to be prosecuted on them.

@lololulu19 I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Left wing or right wing... They are both of the same bird.

@ianfontinell This setting modification was made for security reasons. As such, the session cookie will only last for 6 hours. This is for your security.

@jonwalkee Ah yes.... Gotta love the good 'ole days of dial up internet! Haha!

@hans143 That all depends on your preferences. From what I can see at first glance, and from the other images posted in this thread, it would be very much not for me. Again though, it depends on your preferences.

@raphjd I've said it before and I'll say it again. Most media in North America is but the propaganda mill to push the agenda of the real powers that actually run things. You may speak freely, but if you say something that does not fit the pushed narrative, you are immediately silenced or otherwise buried deep into the abyss.... It's sad really.

@vanman Would you like some cheese and crackers to go with that whine? Haha!

@vanman It is also important to note the difference between your total upload stats and the session upload stats. The stats against a seeding torrent in your profile will only show the amount of data that has been transmitted for the current session, whereas your torrent client often shows the total amount transmitted since the torrent was added to your torrent client.

As well, there's the issue of the tracker updates themselves. Your torrent client will only update with the tracker once every 30 minutes for each torrent. For this reason, there is a delay in the stats being updated, as they are not updated in realtime like your torrent client will update them.

@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.

@raphjd That's the other problem.... Anything that speaks out against the agenda that bigger powers want to push gets buried, silenced, or otherwise removed under the guise of "false information".

If it's not outright removed, it gets buried in such a way that even if you search for it specifically knowing what it is you're looking for, it will get buried deep in the results, which unfortunately, most people don't get that far into, and thus, never find what they are looking for.

Call me a conspiracy nut if you must, but I have been of the firm belief for some time now that in Canada the United States, and many other countries in the world government officials are but a bought puppet for which some "higher power" (for lack of a better term) is pulling the strings. This is the same power that controls even the big companies like Google, YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, etc. Democracy is but an illusion at this day and age.

This is actually the very reason why although the company that owns Google is literally hemorrhaging money with YouTube, they refuse to sell it off because it's the biggest such platform on the internet, and it gives them the ability to control the flow of information. Sadly, this means that even freedom of speech is not really a thing anymore. In most places now, you can speak freely, but only if your point or view is in line with the narrative that the powers that be want to push.

@blablarg18 Sadly, I can't say that Canada is all that much better in that regard. At the last election, we had 3 options to choose from, all 3 of which were as corrupt as the day is long. Just like in the USA, most politicians that are in power here have been bought and paid for by some form of higher authority.

@raphjd That's exactly what I mean... It's sad when your only political choices are bad and worse...

Wouldn't it be great if there actually WAS a GOOD choice for a change?

@raphjd Granted.... But let me ask you this.... Are republicans really any better in a lot of other critical areas?

Simply put, whether it's left wing or right wing, are both wings not of the same bird in the end?
