The last I had heard, this was something that was in the works. I'm not sure what ever came of it though, as it seems that completely restoring my browser to factory defaults, then rebooting my system does not even fix the problem, leading me to believe that there's something up on the server side that is causing this.
In order to ensure your security with a VPN, you really do need a paid service. I personally use PrivateVPN. You will find that their Windows client will take care of pretty much everything you will need to use the service.
There are also many things that the new user content does not mention. The biggest of these is the importance of port forwarding. I cannot stress enough how important this is.
If you would like more specific information, please PM Me and I would be happy to assist you further.
We do not have any plans of a freeleech marathon at this time. With that being said however, I may be able to help you out a little in other ways. Please PM Me for more information if this may interest you.
This depends entirely on my mood and how much free time I have on my hands. :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2:
I know that some of us suffer from bandwidth poverty, including myself. The funny thing is that I have the resources of a 3rd world country, yet I'm right smack in the middle of a 1st world country (Canada). So… I'm wondering, how many of you have had to get creative with more unconventional methods to be able to bring the bandwidth to you, and how do you do it?
I used to use MLPPP, which was fine enough for what it was, but still lacked in many ways. Sometimes video streams on the Android box were all but impossible, even though I had the 13 mbit / 3.25 mbit speeds on a speed test. I have since switched over to Bonded DSL and installed it alongside the existing MLPPP installation so that I can still reboot the modems, check on line stats, etc. without having to leave the trailer. I still have to build a better power supply, as that part of the network was also done on the fly, but it's WAY more organized and much more cat proof than it was. Yes... Unfortunately, cats are part of the reason why I had to get creative, even with how I attached the bonder to the wall. It does not have keyholes on the back of the unit, and according to the contract with my ISP, I am not allowed to modify the bonder, the modems they provided (which I don't use), or the cables that they provided (so I use my own). My cheap solution was steel strapping that I could pick up pretty cheap from the local hardware store.
Here's my new setup:

Anyone seen anything like this before? Had to use something similar? Have a creative solution of your own for your area?
We seem to have had a few users come out of the woodwork recently who have uploaded several torrents within a short period of time that fit this description. The problem is that we only have so many people who can only be around to do so much in a day, and it's not always possible to catch these things right away.
That being said, I can assure you that as these things come up, we are taking the appropriate measures (starting with revoking automatic approval of uploads) to ensure that these torrents that generate a plethora of complaints do not continue to go public from these users until we have had a chance to verify that they meet the criteria. At one point this was the norm for all uploads, however the volume of new uploads began to exceed the availability of manpower, which is why things are the way they are now.
Believe me when I say that you are not alone in this frustration, and we are doing everything we can to remedy the situation.
I much prefer Android over iOS… Apple is very well known for cooperating with different agencies both in Canada and the USA. In fact, there have been a number of people in Canada alone who have had literally the entire contents of their whole device easily and willingly turned over to the authorities, without putting up any resistance, and in some cases, without even requiring a warrant to divulge that information. It was simply requested without any sort of legal process and voluntarily handed over, including live updates to keep track of a suspected crime in progress to use that information against the person, long before even having to seek a warrant for the arrest. The information in one such case that I can think of was used as their "probable cause" to arrest and detain first, THEN seek the warrant for custody. Granted, I don't intend on doing anything illegal, however having gone through a legal nightmare a few years back over something that I didn't even do, I'm certainly not about to give the wrong people anything that could be of any value to them if I can absolutely help it.
While Google does track certain things, they do not store anywhere NEAR as much information, and they go out of their way to put up as much of a fight as possible to resist having to cooperate with the authorities. That's part of why Google goes to great lengths to ensure that the powers that be simply cannot be contacted. Among the things that are not stored on Google but are stored if you have iOS include text messages, every single file that you've stored on your phone, all of your contacts (regardless of whether or not you use the cloud), and so, so much more.... I happen to know for a fact that in Canada, unless the phone is a Telus post-paid cell phone, once the text message is deleted from the device, it is gone forever, unless it can be retrieved from the other device that either sent you the message, or received the message from you.
Also, the different features that Android phones have to integrate into Google do come with alternatives that do not require you to use Google to make them work. If you use these options to steer clear of "the cloud", then the information is kept solely within your device. The same cannot be said about iOS products, as the ENTIRE phone is forcefully backed up to the cloud, which includes.... you guessed it.... All that information you were trying to keep OUT of the cloud.
Since I have been a person of interest by the authorities in my community in the past, this is my reason for choosing Google as sadly, being the lesser of the two evils.

The short answer is yes… It is called our Banned Content List, which you can also find the link to when you click on the upload tab at the top of the page.
Yes… When your download rights are taken, you can still download one torrent at a time, however this is limited to only torrents that are on freeleech. I try to go about the site on a daily basis, adding little goodies, and I try to ensure that every niche, fetish, interest, etc is covered. This is not only to help restore the life of torrents, but in some cases, this can even be a means of helping users restore their ratio by making some of the less popular torrents they are seeing a little more popular and visible, as to encourage people to download them.
I think I can shed some light on that…
When you download a torrent, if you do not download 100% of ALL of the files, the tracker will still recognize you as "leeching" the torrent, even if your torrent client says that you're seeding the contents that you have. It is only once 100% of ALL of the files are downloaded that the tracker will recognize you as seeding the torrent.
There are many tube sites available, but on the most part, they're all subject to the DMCA, so it really doesn't matter where you post them. That said, streaming video and torrents are two completely different breeds of distribution for content. The two do not usually mix very well, if at all.
Unfortunately, these screen shots are not sufficient to determine the cause of the problem. It is critical to know what the tracker status and/or error message is in order to determine the exact cause of this issue. To get this, click on the torrent within uTorrent, then click the "Trackers" tab and look for the message listed beside the tracker.
It sounds like you're using an ISP that leaves much to be desired, or that uses DNS servers that for some reason, are not resolving the IP address of the site or tracker. I would suggest changing to Google DNS or manually adding the entries into your system's hosts file to ensure that you always get the right address, and therefore, always connect without any issue.
This is a known intermittent issue, and we are working to resolve it. It seems to be the result of a server upgrade that we recently conducted.
Does the hosts file fix work in your case?
If it doesn't, then it's possible that either your ISP is blocking P2P traffic, or your ISP is blocking our site or systems either by IP address, or by IP Subnet. In most cases, the hosts file fix should get you around the issue by making your computer remember the IP address, without needing to use DNS.
That's what a VPN is for. In reality, I'm in the middle of nowhere squared, in a trailer, in the bush, hiding from civilization in Southern Ontario, Canada, however according to the internet, with the magic of a VPN, I keep appearing as being either in London, UK, or in Norway. Not only can you hide your IP address with a VPN, but you can also hide your location, and avoid ISP traffic throttling for P2P traffic, because not even your ISP can tell what you're up to when you're on a VPN. 
Stopping the torrent was your biggest mistake. See, your torrent client only updates with the tracker once every 30 minutes. If you stop the torrent before it updates with the tracker, then it does not update with the tracker, and the uploaded data is never credited to you because it isn't reported to the tracker. THAT is likely why you didn't see much upload traffic. You stopped the torrent before it was able to update with the tracker.
