@MrMazda:

I'm not particularly worried about HIV though because hey….. you can only catch it once, right?  :hehe:

Not exactly… you can catch a different subtype of virus (reinfection) and risk yourself to a mutation that might make your medication less effective - in the most extreme cases leading for a change in medication, though there are a limited number of medications for HIV, so the more your virus mutates the less chance of an effective treatment you have.

True in theory, except there's a small flaw to the theory that science is proving. Many more recent studies have been done to attempt to derive a calculated risk for contraction of HIV, specifically focusing on gay sex. The interesting thing is that every study came up empty handed when it came to unprotected sex with a partner who is HIV+ with an undetectable viral load. The interesting thing is that the vast majority of people who are HIV+ within North America are on the meds, and because of the more modern meds, maintain an undetectable viral load. So… The general risk of contraction in general is lower regardless of whether you're dealing with one HIV+ and one HIV- partner or two HIV+ partners....

Lito Cruz…. I would kill to feel that massive monster unload balls deep inside me. hehe

This depends on where you live. Within North America, it is standard for certain things, such as pregnant women, severely ill patients with flu-like symptoms, or patients who have been sexually assaulted. Aside from that, it is generally a test that is done by request. Legally, in Canada and the United States, the patient must be made aware of STI testing such as an HIV test and consent to such testing prior to the blood being drawn. Some doctors will make this type of testing also "standard" if you've identified to your doctor that you are sexually active.

There are one of a few places that it could be found, depending on the method used, which can include the system event viewer.

@mahmartins:

Im having the same problem.
And since I got my ratio busted for downloading too much.
im getting anxious because my grace period is ending AND NONE OF MY TORRENTS ARE DOWNLOADING OR UPLOADING!!!

im gonna loose my download privileges all over again, and its not my fault

I have made an adjustment to your profile to compensate for that. Take a look at your profile again.

I bareback exclusively… I'm not particularly worried about HIV though because hey..... you can only catch it once, right?  :hehe:

Just a heads up to the people who have expressed that they are concerned with the risk of contracting HIV. It's a scientifically proven fact that having unprotected sex to completion (as a top or bottom) with a partner who is HIV+ and maintains an undetectable viral load is actually safer than engaging in any penetrative sexual activity with a partner who is HIV+ and has a high viral load, even with a condom. Believe it or not, there has yet to be so much as one confirmed case of an HIV+ individual with an undetectable viral load ever passing the virus onto another partner, despite the number of studies that have been done to attempt to quantify the risk.

So... Keep in mind that the vast majority of persons who are HIV+ are on the meds and as such, effectively maintain an undetectable viral load... Don't get me wrong though, I'm not trying to pressure anyone into anything by making this point. I believe in a person's right to choose what is right for them, and that in doing so, they should have the right to make that decision while properly armed with all the pertinent facts. All that I'm saying here is that the fear and stigma behind HIV at this day and age is pretty much unfounded. Unlike 1986 when the problem was at its all time worst, HIV is no longer something that needs to be feared. In fact, thanks to the advances in medicine in particular, the general risk of contraction at this day and age is nowhere near what it used to be back in the day. This is largely due to the fact that the majority of cases now a days within North America in particular are cases where they're on the meds and undetectable..... This is part of the reason why I bareback.

There is a bit of an up side to them… If you invite a friend to the site, you get 2 GB of upload credit upon them accepting the invite (within 24 hours) and signing up for an account.

I'm a big fan of VLC. It's simple, straight forward, and comes with most all of the codec packages that you'll ever need.

Sadly, I am the minority of the internet population… Not only do I not use MSIE, but I also REFUSE to use anything Microsoft based. I'm even a little hesitant on using Apple products because of Microsoft's continuous affiliation with Apple behind closed doors.

@olympic19:

the scat images are only visible if you click on the scat torrent so posters are well aware of the imagery that may be found

This is assuming that the torrents are categorized appropriately. I do find torrents here and there that are in the wrong category and are not branded as scat. They're usually older torrents, but nevertheless, you do find torrents in the wrong category from time to time.

Unless there was a log of the entry left somewhere (which is very doubtful), the only way to really be able to determine who or when would be to catch them in the act.  :blownose:

From an IT perspective, it's really hard to say exactly where and how this type of thing happens. This kind of thing can often be the result of any number of things such as:

• Security risks caused by using an open or otherwise public WiFi access point, or other such shared access connection

• A back-door method such as a trojan allowing access to your system

• Physical access security risks (not locking your computer, improper boot priorities in your BIOS enabling a UBCD hack, etc)

• Improper firewall configuration on your local machine

• Malware based browser add-ons or 3rd party software installed on your system

Resetting your browsers and extensions is never a bad idea if you suspect that one or more of your extensions has been compromised. It may also be wise to run a search with SpyBot Search & Destroy (the free edition, it's a little tricky to find) can't hurt things either. It's available from www.safer-networking.org

It's far too fake to even peak my curiosity frankly

The entire chat was not shut down… Only the chat web interface. If you want to use the regular GT.ru chat, you can do so with an ordinary chat client such as mIRC or xChat. The information you need is as follows:

Regular IRC
Server: irc.gaytorrent.ru
Port: 6667
Channel: #gaytorrent.ru

Secure (SSL) IRC
Server: irc.gaytorrent.ru
Port: 6697
Channel: #gaytorrent.ru

The security problem wasn't in the chat itself, but rather had to do with the way that the web interface worked. So, it's not entirely true that we fully pulled the plug on the chat. The IRC has always been available and still is.

I feel your pain as I too seem to get re-seed requests somewhat frequently for torrents that I either deleted or have transferred to another network resource location. Sadly, there is no way to avoid receiving these messages.

Just to clarify the original question at hand, when you make a donation, you pay x amount of Euros for Y amount of upload credit. What this means is it adds that much data transfer to your upload total. This does not necessarily mean that you will receive Y amount of download credit, depending on how low your ratio is and how big the difference between your upload and download totals.

So… If you need to seed 10 GB of data to get your download rights for example, the 10 GB upload credit will only push you to your minimum ratio, just enough to get your download rights back more or less... Just a heads up.

We do still appear to have intermittent issues with the tracker not being able to respond to all requests that it is given, which results in temporary errors such as the 502 error. We are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it, but given the nature of what all is required, it's a rather big job to say the least. Please be patient and continue to try to seed your torrents. They will eventually connect.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I too am affected by this periodically.

This is correct. When they're highlighted in green, it means that your torrent client has given the tracker the signal that you have completed the download.

Point of interest… Improper, missing, or incorrect pictures, a lack of description, etc. technically are violations of the rules in and of themselves.

Yeah… it's funny how time flies, isn't it?
