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.

@wrestling82:

You do realize some people feel that way about gays, right? How would you feel if they said that about gay people?

Yes… Sadly, opinions are like assholes... Everyone has one, and most of them stink  :lolp:

EDIT: Allow me to add one thing… Just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean that anyone else has to agree with that opinion. Sadly though, too many people in this world cannot agree to disagree. It's a concept found in the principles of pretty well all common-law countries. That being said though, how (or in some cases, even that) you express that opinion, or even taking action on said opinion in some cases is a completely different ball of wax.

Yes… With the GT.ru tracker, not forwarding your proper port both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer will have a serious and detrimental effect on your ability to upload content with GT.ru. If you're interested, I can also help you with what you need, such as looking up your port number based on the data that your torrent client has previously submitted to the tracker, and also helping you setup the port forwarding in the first place.

@farkme:

Another good idea is to search for DVDs you have and make a modern MKV rip of them if only AVIs exist. You would be contributing a better quality version made for modern computers.

Not just computers… Some mobile devices as well, such as my new Motorola Moto Z Play smartphone, which can handle pretty well any format, up to and including full 1080p HD. It's apparently a VERY new and also pretty badass little handheld device that even out-powers my relatively recent Asus laptop, as sad as that is to say.

@semurg30:

@Popper:

Yes, removed. He was saying something like he wished immigrants could be treated like the American Indians and put in white sacks (don't remember the exact word, but it meant a sack for dead bodies).

I didn't say that. I said Muslims should be given smallpox blankets. But now I remember.

You mean the same way that the Canadian government did with the Wahta Mohawk tribe up in Muskoka (Ontario) when they were forced out of their original home land in Québec by the government?

I'm not sure about the price in the UK, but I know that the price in Canada at the cheaper independent pharmacies is around $1050 for a 30-day supply. I know this largely because I used to be on it after I was first diagnosed.

@Duvet:

Well since being to a commited relationship I do not get tested, but before going bareback with my partner we did all the tests to be sure we were healthy.

I sincerely hope that this works for you. Having spent a lot of time as a volunteer at a local clinic, I saw cases where someone would come in who believed that their partner was committed to them, only to find out that their partner had brought them home an undesired present or "gift" as it were. Granted, I know nothing about you or your partner, however I sincerely hope that this does not become the case for you.

From a health perspective, most medical professionals will recommend the use of gloves, largely due to the fact that the under side of your finger nails (no matter how short) are a magnet for bacteria. When inserted inside of someone's rear end, there is obviously going to be large amounts of fecal bacteria, including the potential for ecoli, which if picked up and accidentally injested, can be quite harmful, or in extreme cases, even fatal. Granted, the risk of it becoming fatal is not that great, but nevertheless, it is a theoretical risk. So, if not for the STD factor, for the simple health perspective behind it, I too recommend this as a good idea. It also helps prevent finger nails from cutting into the sensitive tissues inside of one's rear end.

I get where you're coming from cannonmc, but I have just one question….

If nobody points out spelling errors, how can they learn? I really don't mean to sound like a dick, but I can see how it may be perceived as such.

@daydrm:

Any link to support your claiming?
