As I've said in your various other forum posts, we rolled out some system upgrades earlier today, which resulted in some down time. As for the issues you are experiencing with some of your torrents turning red, understand that we are the world's largest free online video source, and as such, we experience significantly higher traffic loads than just about every other site out there. The result is that at times, the system simply cannot keep up with the astronomically huge network loads that it is under at times.

Just to clarify, we rolled out some system updates earlier on today, so there would have been a period during this upgrade that the systems were unavailable. Things should be back to normal now, although I still experience the occasional HTTP 502 error.

Allow me to clarify a couple of things….

1. We had a temporary system outage today due to a system upgrade, which may explain why you were getting offline (timed out) instead of the usual HTTP 502.

2. Unlike all the other trackers that seem to work properly all the time, we have a significantly higher network load and as such, sometimes at our peak hours, the tracker has a hard time keeping up due to how overloaded it can get at times. This is the down site to being the world's largest free online video bank.

I hate to say it, but those errors have nothing to do with your torrent client and have everything to do with the tracker back-end being overwhelmed with requests at times. There is nothing that can fix that, not even changing torrent clients, as the problem is not on your end.

If you recommend Opera, why are you using Google Chrome?  :funny2:

Don't forget that if you're using FireFox, I've found FlashGot to be quite effective at downloading from most sites, and it's free.

On the most part, I'll take a PC over a Mac any day of the week. That being said however, when it comes to editing films for the film industry, it's Mac all the way. The only down side that I've found is that they're way more susceptible to viruses, and as such, can be a royal pain in the ass when something goes wrong. They're also hellishly overpriced as well. That being said though, I will NOT touch Windows (or anything Micro$oft for that matter) for security reasons, which is why I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on all my systems now.

Lets just say that I know things about Apple that I shouldn't know because I used to date (and am still good friends with) an Apple employee who spends a lot of their time in their software end of things. It's kind of sad to say, but Apple will eventually attempt to force you into upgrading your phone. I've seen it countless times now.

I have a vast network full of porn really… There are 6 different hard drives across 2 different servers, plus my local hard drive on my laptop that I pile it into... I have quite the collection over the many, many years I have been trolling the internet. What kind of content it is depends on what hard drive and where on that hard drive you will find the content.

I don't have 16.10, however I do have 16.04, and its running beautifully, despite one little snag with Dropbox not wanting to cooperate with Gnome (Compiz or Metacity) for some unknown reason.

Google Pixel all the way… Apple has a tendency of planned obsolescence. In some cases, Apple will go so far as to inject code into your phone to begin to break down after the initial warranty is up in order to attempt to force you to continue to buy into their products. It's kind of sad that they still to this day continue to employ such crooked methods to attempt to increase their revenue stream.

@aadam101:

I can't figure out why I can't keep my ratio up on this site.  On another site I use I have a 9.xx ratio.  I'm not doing anything different.

None of the torrents in your profile have any leechers, except for the ones that you are the only leecher on. In order to get upload credit for your uploads, there must be people actively downloading them.

I have adjusted the torrent's category for you as well as the category on one of your other older torrents and have left a mod comment on them accordingly. Was there anything else with these torrents that you wanted to correct?

@cannonmc:

If anyone said thank you or left a comment you could try asking them via a personal message.

This assumes that the privacy settings of said users is set to accept PM's from other users… Also, sometimes the original uploader on these torrents is still known to the staff, so it may be possible to contact a mod somehow to see if there is anything more that they are able to do.

Just so you know, when your download rights are taken, torrents that are not freeleech will not download at all. You can still seed those torrents though. As for the freeleech torrents, they may all have downloaded overnight when you left them, however the tracker will only allow you to download them one at a time. It may be possible that you found a server glitch that allowed them to seemingly all download at once, however this is not the way the system is supposed to work. Without download rights, freeleech torrents can only be downloaded one at a time.

As for HIV, I don't get tested to see if I have it at all anymore since, well… you can only catch it once.  ;D

As for other STI's, I generally follow the rule of getting tested every 4 to 6 months just as a general precaution, even when I'm in a dry spell in the sex department. Most liberal healthcare folk will tell you to get tested every 3 months, however a more conservative and realistic safe schedule (for those of us who aren't total sluts like I used to be) would be every 4 to 6 months. If you're only really having sex once in a blue moon however, it may make more sense to stretch it out to every 6 to 8 months.

As long as your uTorrent is not setup to use a random port, it appears that it is reporting that you use port 53101 in your case. You need to make sure that this port in both TCP and UDP is forwarded from your router to your computer. Doing this however requires a little knowledge of how your network is setup, which I can help you with if you'd like.

I can use TeamViewer in order to possibly help do this for you. Once you do this, you should have no trouble getting uploads to work.

Also, the no open-source thing also has a lot to do with user security. It helps to keep a better control of exactly what kind of security measures are put into it. We do however have a team that works on such things, so if there's a particular improvement, depending on what it is, would depend on how and where you could submit a request or idea.

In the actual binary system, the comparison works like so:

(Where the accepted standard is that capital B refers to bytes, but lowercase b is bits)
(The same in theory holds true where for example K refers to 1024, but k refers to 1000)
1 B = 8 b
1 KB = 1024 B
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 GB = 1024 MB
1 TB = 1024 GB

Now… When talking speed, they refer to what I like to call "Chinese Bytes", which breaks it down a little farther. Speed is measured in mb, not MB, so it's important to know how to factor to get it back to the scale as above. To do this, you break it down as follows (basing it on a 6mb/s line)
(6 mb) x (1,000,000 b/mb) = 6,000,000 b
(6,000,000 b) / (8 b/B) = 750,000 B
(750,000 B) / (1024 B/KB) = 732.42 KB
_Now… If this number were greater than 1024, you would divide again by 1024 to break it down into MB instead of KB... Again, if after dividing by 1024 to measure in MB is still above 1024, then you would divide again to give you TB.

I know it may seem confusing that hard drive space and internet data transfer speeds are measured in different units that would appear to be the same, however this is not the case. You do get used to it in time though._

The part about not backing PrEP due to the fact that it does not protect against other STI's is rather insane if you ask me. Other STI's do not kill you if untreated or otherwise possibly become life threatening… HIV on the other hand does.... So to me, this whole part about not wanting to cover it because it only protects against HIV in my opinion is a piss poor and pathetic excuse.
