The order of preference depends on a few factors, one of which is the speed at which the peer is able to upload.

With our tracker, another HUGE factor is having your port forwarding setup. On most traditional internet connections, your modem will either be attached to a router or have a router built into it. This takes all of the IP addresses of the computers on your home network and masquerades them to a single IP address that their connection will use for the internet. The problem comes in whereas your router needs to know what port you are using for your torrent client, as well as the IP address of your computer on the home network in order to forward the connections to your torrent program properly. If you do not do this, with our tracker, it will become extremely difficult, but not impossible to get upload traffic, as this will bounce you to a very low node priority if it is not configured correctly.

I just thought I'd point that out. In my case, my network is a little more complex and advanced beyond the need for port forwarding (at least for my server and my laptop), because both of them are on their own dedicated IP address as far as the internet is concerned, but this is not the case with most users.

It would appar that with this torrent, that is exactly what happened. There appear to be a few users who jumped on straight at the seeding process. For this reason, I will throw you some SBP to help offset that.

Ah… Yes... You do have a point there. For that purpose, I have IP range filtering in the iptables firewall rules of both my main server as well as the main super network that everything runs off of, including my trailer. It's a free way that can also be used to do such things, if you are a more advanced user, and you maintain the IP range rules manually, as they change.

If it's of any value, I have access to a professional recording studio where I can digitize such things with high end equipment that is designed for optimal quality. There is literally NO VHS tape that said machine cannot read if you play with all the available settings.

Also, it's not just VHS that I can rip from. I can also import from Sony Beta, as well as 12" vinyl, or cassette tape. There really is no media format that I cannot convert to digital format of some sort.

I used to use PeerBlock back when I used to run Windows. I can say that it is not a guarantee for a few reasons, one of which is that network assignments do tend to change. With a VPN on the other hand, this effectively eliminates the need for PeerBlock because it ensures that your direct IP address is never shared, but rather, only the IP address of your VPN. If you have a VPN that does not log anything such as PrivateVPN, you can be sure that even without peer block, your real identity will remain hidden from the internet.

Another thing to consider… Not all VPN providers are the same. It is important to check what their policies are around a few things and what geographical jurisdiction that they fall under. In the perfect world, you want a provider that is NOT based in the United States, and who does not log connections, logins, etc. This will ensure that if they are ever issued with a valid subpoena to identify a user based on an IP address and a time stamp, they will be unable to provide this information to make this link to the customer because they do not store this information in the logs in the first place.

Given the age of that one, it's possible that we may have once had part 1, however it has since been purged because it went dead and could not be revived due to its age.

Yes… It is not uncommon for universities to censor certain content from their network. This generally consists of adult content, and websites that promote or are otherwise affiliated with criminal activity. I sort of get the reasoning behind it, but what they fail to understand is that at this day and age, there is no such thing as internet censorship. Simply put, internet censorship is a myth!

Also, it is not uncommon for universities (at least in North America) to attempt to censor P2P traffic from their networks, as the majority of (although not all) P2P traffic is illegal pirating. This is generally done as a legal precaution to attempt to keep the university out of trouble by blocking such traffic from their network.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention that PrivateVPN can be set to work on TCP 443, or if you want port forwarding, can also be setup to use UDP 53. TCP 443 is used by HTTPS websites, and UDP 53 is used by DNS, so blocking either one of these ports to filter content would render the internet itself useless. This is one thing that I like about them. This way, there really is NO network that you cannot bypass the censorship of, because even if they force all DNS traffic to their own servers, there's also the TCP 443 route, which cannot be blocked.

So… Unless they're blocking all DNS traffic except to their own internal servers, and they're domain null routing to bypass VPN providers specifically by domain, there really is no way to control what content can pass through a network.

This sounds like a possible intermittent routing issue with your provider. Changing providers, or even using a VPN to route around your provider's defunct route, would get you around this when it happens.

@wohdin:

That's not how torrents work. The torrent files you download from the tracker contain your account credentials, which is how your upload and download traffic gets tracked in order to give you the credit you earn. You do not need to be "logged in" on the website for it to work - they're entirely unrelated elements.

Did you even read what I wrote? You have to be logged into the website to send the .torrent file to the website, and to get the .torrent file you need for your torrent client. Once you have that file, whether or not you are still logged into the website is irrelevant. Nothing I've said contradicted what you have stated.

It would appear that the site is recognizing that you're seeding the torrents, it's just that you're not getting any upload traffic. The most common cause of this is that you do not have the port that Vuze uses forwarded from your router to your computer in both TCP and UDP. Once you do this, your problem should go away.

Also, I see that you are seeding a number of torrents for which there are few other seeders. I will freeleech these torrents for 156 hours to help you get some upload traffic. One of them, you are actually the only seeder on, so it should start to pickup for you soon.

If I understood him correctly, he was talking about the use of gloves in fisting porn. While it is generally its own unique niche, there are a number of studios that specialize in fisting porn. Of them, I would agree that it is more common to see raw fisting (without gloves), however there are quite a few out there that do use gloves.

That's what I was getting at, under the assumption that he was referring to the use of gloves in fisting porn.

No… Once a .torrent file is created for an upload, the contents of the torrent cannot be modified, added to, or deleted. If you have made an error however, I can arrange to have the original torrent setup to be pending removal so that you can effectively replace the torrent, unless there are 3 or more videos, in which case, you can upload the whole collection as a new torrent no problem.

Oh sweet patootie… We got us a loony!

This topic is so many shades of wrong that I don't even know where to begin.

- Topic Locked -

I disagree that it is rare… Granted, it is more common to see raw fisting, however there are a number of studios and/or videos that I can think of off the top of my head that all use gloves.

Not really… It's pretty much a cut and dry thing, due to the nature of the enzymes found in saliva, and the fact that the virus itself must somehow enter the blood stream essentially.

I wouldn't take the risk though..

:blink:

I fully respect your right to decide what is right for you, but do you mind if I ask why this is? Science has been able to validate that if you are undetectable, you actually cannot pass it onto a sexual partner. There have been many studies conducted to attempt to quantify the risk, and every last one of them failed to provide so much as one case where transmission occurred from the undetectable partner.

So… I respect your right to choose what is right for you (especially if you are doing so armed with all the facts), but I'm kinda curious to understand the reasoning behind that decision.

There quite possibly is a free solution, however if there is, I am not aware of a free solution.

Gay and bisexual menb are the population most affected by HIV. .

This may be the case in North America, but on a worldwide scale, the heterosexual female accounts for the majority of HIV infections on a global scale.

If by changed you mean my government funding for my meds, no… The bill is still hefty, but it gets billed straight to the government, so I never actually see the bill.

As for my progress with HIV, I'm down to one horse pill once a day with pretty well no side effects.
