In my case, preferring a lower resolution has more to do with my video card than anything else. See… I'm on Linux running a particular ATI Radeon HD card that ATI has yet to release a proper update for, and thus, I'm having to run on the standard open source Xorg video drivers, which cannot always handle higher resolutions with a higher video bitrate. As for others, I cannot really say, but I would imagine that hard drive space has a lot to do with it.

RE: Video Quality Standards
Sadly, I get a lot of that these days… Most of the cellophane to digital media conversions that I do nowadays are for people who either have home videos that you simply cannot get anywhere else, or are from people that I used to dance with at the dance studio before my accident who want the videos of their competition performances converted over to a digital format. Speaking of conversions, I find it strange that I'm getting more requests these days for converting vinyl to MP3 and/or Audio CD.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

RE: Video Quality Standards
If you're interested, I have the means of converting cellophane of any format to a digital video file. :cheesy2:

RE: Software for the experts
Thanks Frederick
It does not look like it is available for Windows 1099% of programs that work with 7 will work with 10.
That's because Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 all use the same basic kernel with only slight modifications. Once Micro$oft upgrades to the next base kernel package, it'll be Windows Vista all over again.

RE: Can't seed
@Shirobara: I took a look at your provider's site and options that they have to choose from. Getting a faster upload speed will depend mostly on whether you're with regular DSL, VDSL (fiber), or Cable internet with your provider. Also, the other thing that I suspect based on the stats that you have on your profile and the information I see from your provider, your issue may also be caused in part by traffic shaping, which almost all ISP's within Canada are famous for. They'll deny it left, right, and center, but at the end of the day, they still do it. If this is the case, I would recommend the use of a VPN to get around this issue.

RE: How to make sure of your upload? Ratio Help
@henrytat: It does not appear that any of the torrents in your profile currently have any leechers actively downloading them. This is obviously problematic for trying to increase your ratio, as there must be leechers downloading the content in order to upload anything to anyone. Again my suggestion here would be to look for freeleech torrents and/or ratio lift torrents to help get you on your way.
@kurtis88: I noticed that your download rights are gone again, and that you have not uploaded your first torrent yet. Did you know that if you upload your first torrent, not only will you get enough upload for getting the torrent out, but you will also get 600 SBP from the First Time Uploader Program (FTUP)?

RE: Best android Torrent app?
But over the last 6 months I've noticed that it downloads fine but no longer seeds.
I just thought that I would point out that it does not appear that the torrent client that you are using is the problem. The first thing that I see out of place on your profile is that you do not have any torrents listed there that actively have any leechers. In order to be able to get the upload credit for seeding your uploads, there must be leechers actively downloading the content from you, however this is not the case….. Also, you may want to check your network equipment and ensure that the proper ports are forwarded from your modem/router to your computer to obtain optimal network traffic.

RE: I need a good video conversion software
I've found AnyVideoConverter to be quite handy when running Windows. If you wanted to lure away from the dark side of Micro$oft and make the switch over to Windows XP, I would be inclined to recommend either Avidemux (GTK+) or my other favourite, OpenShot Video Editor. They both seem to work wonders for me in Ubuntu Linux.

RE: WTF snuff films now?
Best Deaths creative works were discussed upon and found not to be real or looking real.
They are that bad acted, that they are more what I'd call a bad taste parody of snuff. Much less violent than a good horror, crime, thriller of fantasy movie …
Thank you Popper… I didn't want to remove it completely just on the off-chance that I was mistaken in how it is classified.

RE: WTF snuff films now?
The torrent is currently showing as access denied because of how I changed it in the system. I want to make sure that all the staff are on the same page with torrents from this studio. The way the rules are written, this could be taken either way… More specifically, where the forbidden content rules state:
The following TYPES OF PORN are not allowed, if real or claimed/appears to be real:
-
Child Exploitation or Underage Porn
-
Shota (aka: shouta, shotacon, shotakon)
-
Rape
-
Snuff (Murder)
-
Necrophilia (Sex with dead people)
-
Cannibalism
-
Bestiality (sex with or using animals)
-
Mutilation & Blood Consumption
-
Non-Sexual Bondage & Torture
-
Intravenous Drug Use/Slamming/Shooting
I totally understand where you're coming from there cannonmc, my only hang up with this torrent is that some of the videos can be classified as fitting into one of the categories that I have bolded in red. This is why I have currently disabled access to it, without completely removing it. There is a chance that the staff as a whole may not agree that it fits the criteria to be classified as such. It's a matter of where the line is drawn with this type of content. While BestDeaths.com does have a very clear s.2257 compliance policy, including naming a custodian of records, the part that concerns me is that there seems to be a lack of a sexual element to these videos. I'm waiting on a staff decision collectively among everyone before deciding how exactly to handle this particular torrent.

RE: WTF snuff films now?
I do agree that snuff should not be classified as porn…. I will have no other option but to bring this torrent to my superiors to see what we're going to do with this.

RE: WTF snuff films now?
I'm a little concerned seeing references to Gacy in the files list. Gacy was a child molestor that was sentenced to death in the United States…. We have a strict under age policy here, which is a part of what concerns me.
I think the studio that they're trying to refer to is BestDeaths.com, which is completely simulated and not real. That being said however, I'm kind of troubled by the references to Gacy in the files list.

RE: QTM Questions / Answers and suggestions
I know this isn't of much help to you, but welcome to the very reasons why I do not like Windows 10…. Micro$oft will force you to do any and ALL updates, including the ones that you do not want in Windows 10, even if they break another program, all of which of course comes with absolutely NO way to roll them back.... How nice & thoughtful of them, eh?

RE: Seeding Torrents not uploading
May I also suggest looking for Freeleech torrents? In particular, look for the link that says "Ratio Lift" when searching for torrents. The selection may not be all that great of ratio lift torrents, however that's exactly what they're there for. You do not get dinged to download them, but you do get the upload credit for seeding them to other people.

RE: UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING/SEEDING
Actually WackyRabbit, that is for whether or not your torrent client is connectable. I think what this user is asking is the arrows on the individual torrents going red. In this case, a red arrow means that there is some sort of tracker error, which is usually Unregistered Torrent. To find out for sure, when the torrent arrow goes red, click the torrent in uTorrent, then go to the "Trackers" tab at the bottom. It should tell you there why it is red. If the error is "Unregistered Torrent", then it means that the torrent has been deleted either due to a DMCA takedown or because it is a duplicate. The other possibility (though not likely) is that the torrent you are trying never existed on the tracker to begin with, although as I said, this is very unlikely.

RE: How often do you work out and what do you do?
I use life as my excercise… As of late, it's been forcing me to beef up my upper body. I have no set routine, and no set guideline....
Somehow using this method, in a little over a year, I have dropped from 245lbs down to only about 150lbs.... And I'm only 5'5" hehe.... Can you imagine what I was looking like back when I was in the 245 range? It wasn't very pretty to say the least.

RE: Unprotected sex
Just out of curiosity, how do you know that they're STD free?

RE: Serious question i need an answer for
Now I wish I had seen this post earlier… I wanna see lol
Now... In answer to the original inquiry, the short answer is no.... This is nothing to be worried about. The only thing that it may mean is that you have a high sperm count, which isn't really all that bad of a thing when you think about it. It will not cause you any harm and is not the result of an STD/STI. There is a bit more of a medical explanation for it if you'd like, however this is nothing to really be all that concerned with.

RE: Hemorrhoids
I too have the very same problem… What I've found works wonders is the Anusol cream instead of the suppository. It sometimes takes a few days, but I've found that it definitely does work.

RE: Usenet
I do know of what you speak… From my experience, there was once a time when HJSplit was rather annoying and didn't work quite right half of the time. That however was long ago fixed with a new version that was released back a loooooooong time ago.
