@aadam101:

The thing that i hate about uploading is that once you get about 1.0 with the torrent it practically stops seeding since there are so many seeds at that point.

This is not always the case… The GT.ru tracker does not like passive nodes, and places them at the bottom of the priority list, regardless of their upload speed. So... Always be sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer. This alone will go a long way.

Also, if you have a higher upload speed (say, 75KB/s), you'll get placed higher on the priority list for peers. So... Having a higher upload speed when possible does help in addition to making sure that your network is correctly setup. If using a VPN, it is important to know that you are connected correctly to the VPN and that the VPN has that port forwarded to your computer.

If connecting with an OpenVPN based VPN, you need to be using TAP, rather than TUN, otherwise, ports cannot be opened. Also, you need to make sure that the VPN has that port forwarded. Some VPN's like Private Internet Access will only forward one port that they choose, whereas a VPN like PrivateVPN will forward ALL ports as long as you're using UDP + TAP and are connecting to a port forwarding enabled server.

I know I'm chiming in a little late here, but do not get confused with regular downloads and freeleech downloads. Regular downloads will not work when your download rights have been taken, however you can download freeleech torrents, as long as you download them one at a time.

Freeleech torrents do not count towards your download total on your ratio, so they do not lower your ratio by downloading them. They do however give you upload for anything you upload on them, even while downloading them.

This is a known common issue due to the fact that our servers are sometimes overloaded with requests. You need only wait until your torrent client updates with the tracker again for this issue to fix itself.

@ArmaRayo:

It must be that Google/Android "spies" people a lot more than Microsoft/Win7/8/10 did/does.

Check out the site 'they' build in Utah - all searches, sms, emails and what not stored "forever", for our security 'they' say…

This is the precise reason why I became my own independent provider for a lot of my services, including email and DNS. I can control what does and does not work. For some of my customers, I have made my servers able to play nice with Google so that they can import their emails through my network into Google, however I made this service optional because I prefer to host and store absolutely everything across an in-house platform across several different geographical locations.

Also, I've surgically removed a lot of the Google stuff from my phone, disabled all permissions to Facebook Messenger, because their TOS allow them to spy on your device at any time they so choose, without notice if you give these permissions to Messenger so that you can video call, take pictures, make phone calls, etc… It's also the reason why I now use PrivateVPN for all my shady business online. They're fully compatible with GT.ru, as I'm currently using them for such purposes and I'm seeing upload traffic.

Just thought I'd chime in again… I have found a reasonable VPN provider... PrivateVPN. They're based in Sweden, and I can confirm that they work GREAT with GT.ru… There's only a couple of things to take note of...

1. When you click the pay buttons on the page, it will seem that the page refreshes, but that their stripe script is slow to respond. Do not be alarmed when this happens. Just wait a few more seconds, and the credit card prompt, PayPal prompt, etc. will eventually pop up.

2. If you're using Ubuntu 16.04, their Linux CLI app does not install correctly (at least not in Compiz, but I haven't tested it in Unity yet), and it can cause havoc by trying to incorrectly establish a TAP session when you login, which then cripples your internet connectivity, but nothing that cannot be fixed by deleting the .crt and .conf files from /etc/openvpn, then running the following command wont fix:

nmcli con down tap0

3. They support both TAP and TUN connections, so it's important to note a few things. As a general rule, it is recommended that you use the TUN configuration, as this comes with a more stringent firewall, which prevents resources on your local interfaces to be shared with resources on the VPN and vice versa. That being said however, for use with GT.ru or any P2P that you want to be connectable with, you need to use the TAP method, since you will need your machine's local NIC to have access to the VPN's network resources. Unless you're concerned with being connectable for P2P, it is strongly recommended for tighter security purposes that you always use the TUN method.

4. Although the TAP method will allow you to connect and reach the internet through the VPN just the same, not all of the servers have this option enabled on their end... So... Just be aware that if you're using TAP to be able to have access to incoming P2P, you want to use one of the following servers:

• Norway

• Germany - Frankfurt 1

• Netherlands - Amsterdam 1

• Sweden - Kista

• Sweden - Stockholm

• Switzerland

• Ukraine

• United Kingdom

Only these servers will enable port forwarding. Simply put, when in TAP mode on these servers, by default the firewall will forward ALL ports directly to your computer, even if you do not have the port forwarded from your router to your computer on your local network through the magic of VPN. If connecting to any of the other servers using the TAP method will render the same end-result as the TUN method on ANY of the servers…. Just keep this in mind.

Lastly, if you want assistance or more information with how to get it setup, I got it setup pretty quickly, using only the guides on their website. I've also been in touch with their customer service, and they're freaking awesome from what I've seen so far.

I strongly discourage the use of PIA… I've tried it, and I'm about to cancel my subscription. Their customer service is slower than molasses in February to respond to your inquiries, and their software leaves much to be desired. I still CANNOT get it to work correctly in Ubuntu. Not only that, but THEY tell YOU what port you must use for your torrents, and there's no way to change that. So on top of not being able to program their way out of a paper bag, if you ever need assistance for something, you had best be prepared to wait a few days for a response.

Also, on that note, I cannot recommend the use of PureVPN either. They too were a thorn in my side for some time. As is stands now, I'm looking for a decent VPN provider... YET AGAIN!

But yes.. a VPN should resolve any issues that you may be having.

EDIT: For the record, I am in the process of filing the paperwork to take PIA to court as I am writing this edit to my initial message. It seems that PIA has absolutely NO problem lying to their customers IN WRITING, then refusing to honour their word. Not only that, but their customer service from my experience is TERRIBLE, and is something you'd expect from an Indian or Chinese call centre rep who does not understand what they're doing, so being that they're an American company, they're actually an embarrassment to the United States. I cannot stress enough the importance to STAY AWAY FROM PIA!!!

I've had nothing but trouble with them so far, and there's nothing convenient or easy about their port forwarding feature. God forbid you want to run two different torrent clients, or you want to run two different things that require ports to be opened, because that's simply NOT going to happen. Not only that, but this whole waiting for god only knows how long to get an answer to your inquiry is not exactly my cup of tea. I hate to say it, but at this point in the game, PIA ranks right up there with PureVPN for garbage VPN services to STAY AWAY FROM!!! Both PureVPN and PIA lie through their teeth to gain customers, then stall them for 7 days so that they can't be refunded for their money. Once you do actually manage to get them to agree to cancel your service, they'll send you an email saying that it will remain active until the end of the billing period, but this is NOT THE CASE!! When you cancel, you cancel EVERYTHING effective IMMEDIATELY, including your login to their web portal, which quite frankly, is utterly useless.

Unless you're a technical god, neither PureVPN nor PIA are easy to setup and make use of, and both more or less require that you use their primitive software, or pay outrageous additional fees to make full use of their services. If you chose not to use their software, they simply won't care and will not support you and getting their VPN service to work.

Is there a particular error message that you're getting?

For that matter, what exactly happens when you try to sign up?

Everything but the gmail account to me sounds like your computer may have been hit with some sort of a power surge that was enough to damage some components, but not fry the entire system. If the drive in question was heavily in use, I would be inclined to think that would be why that particular drive was affected.

Did you know about the computer management console that may be able to recover the drive?

To do this, click Start, then right click "Computer", then click "Manage"… When you go to the hard drives option, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see that your drive is sitting there acknowledged by the motherboard, but registering that it hasn't yet been "activated"... If this is the case, I forget what the option is to activate it (right clicking it, and selecting the activate option I think). Once this is done, the drive should be assigned a drive letter again, but will likely give you an error when you try to access it, saying that the drive isn't formatted... If this is the case, do not panic.

Assuming that the drive in question is assigned to you would want to open an elevated command prompt first. To do this, click start, then type "cmd" (without the quotes), then either press LEFT CTRL + LEFT SHIFT + ENTER, or just the LEFT CTRL + LEFT SHIFT, and click it. Once open, run the following command:

chkdsk -r -f
(or is it chkdsk /r /f D:)?

It's been a few years since I've touched a Windows operating system, so I don't recall the exact procedure off the top of my head, but that should recover the drive, as long as it is still recognized by the BIOS, which it should be....

Also, as long as the drive still spins up without any hiccups when it's powered on, it should be acknowledged by the BIOS, even if Windows won't acknowledge that the drive has been "activated"... Just a heads up.

Hope this helps.

@boylover2:

… but gaytorrent has no api to connect whit

Yet…

@OklaBalmore:

Still, most straight porn I watched rarely have condoms in it. Vaginal/anal intercourses still presents big STD-risks for those actors/actresses. (even if they're tested regularly, if they had an anonymous gang bang the other day, get tested the day after & come to the studio with the result, they'd have a great risk of transmitting any diseases.)

Being tested the day after is often ineffective because of the window of contraction… It takes approximately 2 weeks to 3 months to reach the point of seroconversion, so getting tested right away the day after isn't a good plan sadly...

In most cases, the point of seroconversion will occur within 2 weeks, but in rare cases, such as the case of an elite controller or progressive developer, it can take up to 6 months for HIV to show up in a blood test. For this reason, it is always recommended to wait at least 2 weeks from the point of contact before getting the test done.

That little recycle symbol means that the torrent has been promoted (refreshed) back to the top of the list. If you look at the first line of the torrent description, you will see the original date that the torrent was posted to the tracker.

@berz82:

scat is a bit gross anyway  :puke:

Different strokes for different folks…

Because in the United States, copyright trolls have nothing better to do than to needlessly harass people, even if it's over something that they distribute for free anyway lol

The only media ripper that I know of works with Firefox. It's called Flashgot

As for the machine itself, I would suspect that it likely got hit with a power surge. This would explain why this suddenly happened.

As for Google, that is very bizarre, and I've never heard of that before. This makes me wonder whether or not you've been hit with a virus.

The other big problem that I find with a lot of the dad/son stuff that is posted on here is that the age gap does not seem to be all that great, if at all, which then leads one to ask themselves, which one is the "dad" and which one is the "son"… I didn't think it was physically possible, but it both sucks and blows lol

Even with no download rights, you can still download freeleech torrents, but you can only download one at a time.

I hope that this was the problem.

I have tried resetting your download rights, which seems to work for most users. Try downloading something now.

I think the biggest part of the failure wasn't so much anything to do with Trump, but rather, the fact that ISP's actually have to do a great deal of work to throttle their customers for alleged copyright infringement. The other problem that comes into play here is that providers generally aren't willing to throttle or even disconnect their customers due to such allegations because of the potential impact that it can have to their profits.

Also, on that note, there is yet another problem that comes into play, which in Canada, was ruled to be a big issue and is the whole reason why the Canadian Notice & Notice system exists in the first place. As was argued in the case of Voltage Pictures LLC v. TekSavvy Solutions Inc (Case No. T-2058-12) back in 2013, TekSavvy set the precedent that an IP address alone is insufficient to require the disclosure of the subscriber identity under FIPPA (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act) because the IP address alone does not prove who the end-user on the other side of the computer actually was, nor does an IP address appearing in the pool prove that the user has downloaded the content in full, or that they have shared it in full with another user. I think this is where the US is going to struggle the most, as Canadian law is often cited as the related case law in US cases, and vice-versa as both countries are said to be a "Commonlaw Country". The more troubling part in this case was that TekSavvy (my ISP) actually fought back and recovered some $22,000 in all the costs that they had to pay out for the case, as the case itself was ruled to have had an insufficient merit to pursue the ISP. (Things like this BTW are reasons why I stay with TekSavvy).

What will be interesting to see is how things go now that the USA is stuck with Trump as their president, as Trump has (on more than one occasion) made it clear that his aim is to at the very least seriously limit and censor the internet and what the US people are allowed to use it for, if not shut it down completely, depending on which version of the story from Trump's statements that you look at. Regardless of how this goes, because of the whole Voltage vs TekSavvy ordeal, it's going to be very hard for any copyright troll to continue to troll after any ISP, because you know damn well that this case will be cited as the relevant case law, even though it was a Canadian case.
