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

RE: Gaytorrent.ru chat alternative
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.ruSecure (SSL) IRC
Server: irc.gaytorrent.ru
Port: 6697
Channel: #gaytorrent.ruThe 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.

RE: How to stop receiving system generated re-seed request
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.

RE: Donating Question
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.

RE: Tracker problems since 4/21
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.

RE: Torrents in wishlist green but I haven't downloaded them?
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.

RE: Can we step up a little as a community?
Point of interest… Improper, missing, or incorrect pictures, a lack of description, etc. technically are violations of the rules in and of themselves.

RE: This site used to have a sister site
Yeah… it's funny how time flies, isn't it?

RE: Download to iPad
Vuze?! HISS!!!! Vuze is the devil's tool lol

RE: Complete noobie, no idea what I'm doing?
There is also the option to get your ratio up by uploading a new torrent to the system. That can sometimes get a little sticky though (no pun intended)

RE: Can we step up a little as a community?
I also just thought I'd add a little something…
Once upon a time, many moons ago, we used to have a much more stringent rules on new uploads. In fact, at one point, all new uploads used to have to go through a moderator's approval to ensure that they meet these requirements. The downside to this eventually became that we had a higher number of uploads each day pending approval than we had the manpower in which to keep up with the new uploads. For this reason, we had to switch to the current system where all uploads are automatically approved. The other downside to this is that with the uploads being automatically approved, we do not have any control over the quality of the information found within the torrent information page, nor can we control the quality of the images uploaded with the torrent.
All this being said, I definitely do understand your frustrations. Nothing drives me more bat shit crazy than torrents with wrong, poor quality, or completely irrelevant pictures, posted without the correct studio and title, and of course, not properly tagged. Like a lot of users on the site, I too have a high demand for knowing what I'm downloading before I download it. As a moderator, I try to correct such things as I see them, however as one person, I can only correct so much. Now, with this being said, if you had a proposed method in which we could implement such an enforcement system with our current resources, we'd be more than happy to consider such a system. Sometimes being the largest site can be a disadvantage, particularly when we have a limited staff power.
On that note, if there are particular torrents that you're frustrated by, you can always send me a PM with the torrent URL's in question, and I'd be more than happy to do what I can with them.

RE: Are all gay and bisexual men HIV infected?
It truly is sad to see what some people will do and how some people will react to knowing that someone is HIV+…. I've seen some pretty jaw dropping things too...

RE: I need help in order to create new torrents
If you need assistance with the how to's of Transmission, I too am an Ubuntu 14.04.3 x64 user using Transmission. I use Gnome though instead of Unity, so my interface may look a little different. I also work with qBitTorrent. Most people usually have a router in the equation. If this is the case, for uploads, it will help to make sure TCP and UDP port 51413 is forwarded through your router to your computer. This will go a long way in being able to get the upload traffic you desire.
If you need a further walkthrough (including where to change the default settings so that Transmission continues to seed), please let me know. I can create a more detailed instruction for you.

RE: Duplicate post posing as two different uploads.
I just wised some would realize that were just human and volunteering our free time on here. We could be spending time with out loved ones instead. I also wished they would realize that sometimes we take time off, so those duplicate reports may have to wait.
Good point… Not that we would need to do things like take more time in bed instead of in front of the computer as to be able to recover from crashing a car into a concrete pole at 60km/h... Not that I have been away for such things... :whistle: :whistle:

RE: Duplicate post posing as two different uploads.
I invite anyone who would like to spend their free time on this site to apply to be a moderator.
Thank you for adding that…. That would also be another great way for us to help speed things up. The logic behind that is that the more people we have putting in their little bit of time (at least) every day will directly affect the amount of time that approval tasks can get done.

RE: Best time to upload?
From my many years of working on this site, I have never really seen a "good time" or "bad time" to upload material. One way or another, it seems to take off within 5 to 10 minutes of upload no matter what time you upload it at. There's usually some horny troll out there who will download what you're sharing somewhere in the world. That's the beauty of time zones.
So… The short answer to your question is the best time to upload a new torrent is anytime that you can seed it for long enough to get it out there fully.

RE: Browse a users torrents?
You are correct… This feature has been disabled for all users except for some staff in order to protect the security and privacy of our users. If you wish, you can contact the uploader of the torrent and request a list from them. This can sometimes be arranged by contacting one of the staff.

RE: Are allowed to post these?
There seems to be no pattern. Perhaps we should start a thread to report what gets removed so people don't go to the trouble of uploading only to see things disappear.
Meanwhile I hope you got some credit while it was up
I understand where you're coming from there, however this would require the voluntary participation of every member who has their torrent subjected to a DMCA process for privacy and security purposes. In all honesty, I highly doubt that we could accomplish this type of participation, as this is not something that we are able to implement into the system.

RE: Duplicate post posing as two different uploads.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind our users (like rothko) that acts of flaming will not be tolerated. We understand that it may get frustrating having to wait, however when mods like myself sift through over 200 duplicate reports on some days and only have a very limited time, sometimes we all collectively cannot keep up for shorter periods due to a number of factors.
Please take this as a warning that flaming of the staff, such as screaming (ALL IN CAPS) are not permitted. Repeat offences of this nature can result in punishment up to and including being banned. Please refrain from this type of approach.

RE: View changes?
As has been mentioned in a few places now, the picture browse feature has returned.
