Yup, it's the same flat rate, whether seeding 1 torrent or 100 

Earned seed point bonus is flat rate of 1 point every 2 hours… whether seeding 1 torrent or 100 torrents.

Hi,

The invites can't be sent until you regain power user status by raising your ratio back to 1.05 or better.

As Popper has pointed out, the Affiliates program IS currently operational, and you can send an Affiliate Link to your friend, and earn 250 seed points, as soon as they register.

I apologize for my earlier misinformation, earlier, regarding the Affiliates program; it apparently is completely operational, at this point in time.

Take care,

@DicksAreFun:

I have a few questions about invites vs. the affiliate link we can send out

If I send my affiliate link to someone, or post it publicly, and someone joins who breaks a ton of rules and gets banned, will my account be in jeopardy too? I know it says to only invite people you know and trust somewhere in the wiki/rules, so does this also apply to the affiliate link?

Do I get the bonus points right away or is there a waiting period to stop people form abusing it? Are there any other rules or things I should know before sending it to anyone? I don't know much about how it works besides the bonus point amount it gives.

You don't seem to have the minimum ratio to be a power user, thus you don't have access to being able to send out invites…

During periods of closed membership, as is the current site status, the affiliate program is non-operational, last time I checked.

We would hold you only to very reasonable expectations, regarding your invited member… I don't think it's fair to assume you're going to know how outstanding and honorable a member your friend will prove to be, eh?

Main thing is that you don't use these tools to try and set up an extra account for yourself; that's very bad behavior, lol    :police:

The point rewards are earned the moment the invited member actually registers.

@geniusacamel:

Is the rate of 0.5 points per hour for seeding per torrent or it this the rate regardless of how many torrents are seeding?

Yes, the rate of 0.5 points per hour for seeding is the rate regardless of how many torrents are seeding.

Hi,

It's rather easy to "hack your account", if a person just has a minute alone at your computer; copying a single torrent you downloaded from the site (to their flashdrive?) would give them a copy of your secret passkey, which they could then use to download any videos from the site… using your account.

Since (from what you are saying) it seems your account has been hacked, you need to change your password AND passkey, on your profile page, here: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/my.php

First change your password:

enter new:
Change password  []
Type password again  []

Then scroll down, and click the "Submit Changes!" button.

You should also definitely change your secret passkey too, otherwise that other person could just continue to leech videos, by using your passkey…

Now change your passkey:

...on the same page as above, at the top... check the box next to:      Reset passkey  [__]

Then scroll down, and click the "Submit Changes!" button.

Note that:
Any active torrents must be downloaded again (or edit the tracker, changing the properties/Tracker info over to your new "Announce URL, as shown on your member page) to continue leeching/seeding, if you change your passkey.

Alternatively, you could follow this illustrated procedure for reseeding videos (where you already have the video on your hard drive), which will replace the old torrent with a new torrent with your new passkey:

Here's a new MINI-Tutorial, on Port Forwarding:  laugh

Here's a MINI-Tutorial, on Port Forwarding:  :laugh:
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=46634.0

Hi, I created this short Port Forwarding topic, to add the link to this MINI-Tutorial to my standard collection of tips to help members maintain their ratio…

Since NOT having Port Forwarding achieved can severely impact both the ability to upload as well as download (quicker than your competition here {and start seeding new videos QUICKLY, while POPULAR!}) I thought it would be appropriate to include it there... And maybe be of help to our members, in general, here on the forum... here goes:

===============================================================================================
For the best results (and best ratio) here, check to see that you have port forwarding set up properly.

Your computer is much more difficult to "see" on the Internet (IE your downloads can be painfully slow, and members have a harder time uploading to, or downloading from your computer), if your torrent client port is NOT being forwarded.

You can test to see if the port your torrent client is using is proper forwarded by using this web tool:
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
You can find your torrent client port number, by using the Options / Preferences menus of your Torrent Client (uTorrent, Vuze, etc.)

If the web tool confirms that your Torrent Client port is forwarded… You're done!! Relax about this issue, no need to read further.

Port forwarding may be achieved by UPnP, or manually.

Port Forwarding via UPnP:
See https://www.google.com/search?q=port+forwarding+via+UPnP for an explanation and more information on UPnP port forwarding. (Note that the internal setup configuration of your DSL modem must have the "Enable UPnP" option turned on… you'll need the username / password for the DSL modem, and possibly the manual for that... to get into the internal menu configurations, to find that option, usually in the Advanced Settings menus...)

In the example of uTorrent preferences, click Options, Preferences, choose "Connection" and CHECK the boxes for:

1. Enable UPnP port mapping
2. Enable NAT-PMP port mapping
3. Add Windows Firewall exception
   ....and UNCHECK Randomize port each start.

This method all gets finished up with clicking the OK button in that window, then shutting the computer down, rebooting the DSL modem, then when the modem is finished booting... restarting your computer.

Once everything's rebooted... you can visit port-checking sites... such as:
http://canyouseeme.org/
…to confirm that the port you've specified for uTorrent is, in fact, "open".

Manual Port Forwarding:
To set up the port forwarding MANUALLY in your DSL or cable modem or router… you'll need the user name and password to access the internal configurations of your router or DSL modem.

Talk to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to obtain these (user name & password).

You MAY need to download the full manual for your router or modem, off the Internet (search via make and model number) to be able to understand and figure out just WHAT menu accesses Port Forwarding, and how to set the parameters properly.

You can find what port your torrent client uses within its settings. Once you have noted this number, please be sure that the "randomize" option is NOT checked. Lastly, once you know what port number needs to be forwarded, and you know your computer's IP address, you can then forward that port both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer.

The default port number for Transmission is 51413.

Consult your ISP tech help, or employ the services of a private computer consultant, if you need further help with port forwarding.

Good Luck!

edited Nov 13, 2017 to add to points (to include BOTH TCP and UDP in the forwarded port, and the default Transmission port) thanks to MrMazda.
edited Aug 28, 2017 to change to a different Internet port forwarding site, since the old one wasn't responding, at least today…

@juancho:

Hey guys,

I am using Samsung S7 edge and my torrent client is utorrent. Every time I try to add torrents from gaytorrent I always get, "error loading torrent". I tried loading torrents from thepiratebay and other torrent sites and the torrent loading were successful.

Is there something I need to do so that utorrent on my phone will upload gaytorrent torrents successfully?

Thank you.

Yes, this is a common problem for our members…

I've advised our membership to do what I did, for successful downloading of torrents from GTRU:

Install the mobile ap VUZE, and you'll be able to download without any problems...

Yes, the Tracker Server appears offline, and the Sysop has been notified.

@456435653:

I uploaded gigabytes of data recently but only some of it was counted. Can a mod take a look at this please

Please write the helpdesk for moderator assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

@SouthGaBoy:

let me guess, the part in between the 2710 and announce  was the  "key' right ? AND thanks for resetting it.

yup that was your old passkey, lol

You're welcome!

Take care,
Pawpcorn

@SouthGaBoy:

Is the tracker down or something?   :cens:
When i try to download something, i get this error " Tracker down".  not sure what the problem is.

YOUCH!! You just showed your private secret passkey to anyone who read your forum topic…  :afr:

Accordingly, I've reset your passkey.

Please write the HelpDesk for assistance on your issue...

Hi,

I can tell you that the uploader deleted his upload, but I don't know why.  :blind:

Pawpcorn

Yes, but you changed your port number about 6 months ago… do you know what your current port number IS?

Hi,

I know this is re this torrent, huh!
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=3d006d4fe7c8b52027b4cb638a049f63fe2301d0fa5a9959

I'm downloading it right now, and there are THREE seeders, but I don't see you leeching.

I'd suggest you check to see if the port you are using for your uTorrent program is forwarded, by using this web tool:

http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Not having your torrent client port forwarding set up (to be forwarded) is often the cause of this issue, as it makes it harder for other computers to see YOUR computer.

You can look at your options in uTorrent to see what port uTorrent is using (or ask me to send you the port address you are using, via private PM, if you can't find it).

Take care,
Pawpcorn
