Hi, hco,

I don't think it "you" or your utorrent, per se…

Out of the dozens of torrents you are seeding, only 2 have any members downloading.

I just made THIS one freeleech, so you can watch and see the uploading improve on this video:
https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=9e876b973176da9827b4cb638a049f634891537a16600045

Other advice that might help?

Initially choose only new torrents to download that seem popular, to insure that you will have others downloading (from you, to raise your ratio) after you finish. Our site runs a bit different than other torrent sharing porn sites, because of the vast number of new torrents that get uploaded every day. This tends to make the "popularity" of new torrents be rather short-lived; thus you need to really choose VERY RECENT torrents to download, to share, when trying to repair your ratio.

If you ever wish to earn upload credit for reseeding videos (where you already have the video on your hard drive), the illustrated procedure is here:
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=6539.0

The best way to continue to earn upload credit is to seed EVERYTHING you download, forever. This means DO NOT STOP your torrent nor torrent client, after downloading completes. KEEP IT RUNNING, so it can seed to the the next member who wants this video, and help improve your ratio. While continuing to seed, you'll be earning a bonus point every two hours you offer to seed, regardless of whether other members are downloading from you or not.

Keep a very close eye on your Ratio, since it will take considerably more time to UPLOAD than it did to download. I would suggest you activate certain columns in your torrent client, so as to keep a close eye on each torrent statistics, in the future. On most torrent programs, you can right-click in the column headings and choose additional columns to be able to view.

I personally recommend "Name", "Size", "Done", "Added on", "Status", "Completed", "Down Speed", "Up Speed", "Seeds", "Ratio", "Peers", "ETA", and Tracker" as essential information and sort-columns. On most torrent programs, you activate these headings by right-clicking on the headings, and selecting and de-selecting your headings, as needed. You can also re-size the headings, by clicking and holding down on the right side of the heading, and dragging it a little bit to the left. You can reposition the columns by clicking (on the column heading) and holding down the mouse button, dragging the column left or right, as desired.

Take care,

Ok, let me try, using dictionary definitions… In real life, or in the eye of the beholder, there might not be a very clear or distinct difference...

"Jock" with the meaning "an athletic man" is from 1963, American English slang.

"Hunk": An attractive male, usually with nice chiseled abs and a very sexy tan.

"Mature": having or showing the mental and emotional qualities of an adult. : having a fully grown or developed body : grown to full size. : having reached a final or desired state.

"Grey"(-haired / older) - showing characteristics of age, especially having grey or white hair; "whose beard with age is hoar" {"hoar": grayish white; gray or gray-haired with age.}

I've been thinking about this lately, and thought it would be interesting to bounce it off our esteemed membership…

Have you ever (or frequently, like me?) looked at the promotion pictures for a particular porn video... then gone to the trouble of downloading it, only to be (to put it politely) severely disappointed in what turned out to be the REALITY of the porn video???

The most recent time this happened to me, was on a twink video... the promo pictures and description on the web site looked STUNNING and exactly what I truly love to watch...

So I downloaded it.

Upon watching it... OMG  :afr2: the top had SOME sort of strange skin condition...!!! THERE were RED SPOTS ALL OVER HIS LEGS!!!! AND I mean bright RED spots on every square inch...!!!

Just shocking, that they would have gone ON with the production shoot in the first place, then edited it, then gone on to MARKET it, afterwards!!!

It made me think about the lesser but still very frequent occurrence where the reality of the actual video... was so disappointing, when the promotion pictures the studio released had made the guys look SO FRIGGIN' HOT and SEXY...!!!

NOT REALITY...!!!!

And don't even get me started on some of the VOICES in some of the talent groups... HANDSOME, beautiful guys, that when they open their mouth to speak, it's just like... OMG,  :Hiya2: a close imitation of Donald Duck's voice!!

I'm normally attracted (in real life) to gentle feminine acting guys, but... exaggerated over-the-top gay lisping (sort of a screechy sound), is NOT the seductive, soft sexy gentle voices I love to listen to... and... point of this topic is... The reality of the actual video often spoils the "illusion" (of what the studio production photos had "promised") and I end up stopping the video, and feeling disappointed. :crazy:

So what about you? Do you find yourself often disappointed (for ANY reason {including quality}?) between what you EXPECTED to download, and the video that actually ended up in your Download folder???  :faint:

And HOW would you describe YOUR disappointment???  :cheerup:

Just for the record, occasionally I'm quite pleasantly surprised and impressed,  :cheers: lol, but I'd love hearing from other members on this topic...   :crazy2:

Best Regards,

Oh, nailed as duplicate  :cry2:

Hi,

You don't need to do anything at your end, as far as your membership goes, when you switch computers, so don't worry about that…

It'll be interesting to see if you can figure out how to transfer all of your uTorrent files over to your new computer, in order to continue seeding those... I think a daunting task.

If you can copy the video files over, then use the procedure below for reseeding (looking at your profile for the "Show Completed Torrents" list) then you could, one at time, start seeding them again...

"If you ever wish to earn upload credit for reseeding videos (where you already have the video on your hard drive), the illustrated procedure is here: https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=6539.0  "

Click on "Search" instead of "Browse"

Are you seeing this error code in your web browser or in your torrent program?

If it's in your browser only, it wouldn't affect any torrent data traffic credit.

I've  never heard of anyone seeing this error in their torrent client program…

Yes, indeed, if you desire a trojan-like result of advertising web pages popping up all the time… out of your control, DO "upgrade" (to hell).

Dear fitoart,

Yes, only in the first week (after upload) can a Video Presentation be edited by the uploader.

I've edited all of these torrents for you.

Please feel free to write the HelpDesk directly in the future, for issues such as this…

Take care,

Ah, nice to know I'm "not alone"  :hug:

I do the SAME for Hollywood releases, as you; ALWAYS search out the 1080p version, yet limit file size to between 8GB and 12GB or my media box chokes on the data throughput, plus I'm limited on storage space (2TB HD in the media box, it's full, and I'm shuffling a 380GB mini-hard drive back and forth from PC to mediabox, in the meantime…

Back on the subject of porn... I see my choice as key to my sense of "visualization" (for lack of a better term, to where my psyche is certainly imagining that I'm THERE, IN the action  :cheers:)... The Higher the resolution, the BETTER I experience my fantasy of visualization. My lifelong "gift" of being able to "visualize" or "fantasize" in real detail... has been my curse, as well as my blessing... I'm a natural daydreamer. ::)

On another porn website I visit... I see upload offers (of the same video) in immediate sequence in 2 or three levels of resolution... and always (of course) there are members who choose one over the other...

Case in point: A current (new release, major studio) 3 listings, right now, about 2 1/2 hours old…
1080p   1.01GB   5 seeders, 3 leechers   (15.7%)
720p     540MB  21 seeders, 8 leechers   (56.8%)
std res  265.25  10 seeders, 4 leechers   (27.4%)

So... I guess I'd be in the 15.7% category of people who desire (and can afford) the 1080p HD version...
...and the vast majority chose the mid-range quality 720P version...
...and a little more than a quarter of the folks chose the standard lowest resolution version...

interesting on-the-fly survey, eh?

I'm in the minority  :blind:  

Yup, gotcha there…

Certainly for our members who are "ratio challenged", the sheer file size of SHD porn videos is "daunting", to say the least...

My 30 minute BareTwinks Remastering job (that 1920 x 1080p video) that I finished last night came in at over 2.8GB  :afr: :crazy2: pushing for a "Q" factor of 0.2 (smallest number, smallest size for "perfect" quality…) and that was using H264 video compression, with lame3.98 mp3 audio, for size optimization...  :crazy2:

Still, I'm certain there will be a significant number of members that end up downloading this HUGE SHD orgy video, for their pleasure and enjoyment...

Unfortunately, it's a Christmas-themed video  :cheesy2: so I feel I must wait until December, to release it... :cool2:

Working on a great SDBoy Latino video, currently, now, however which should be ready for release within a week or so...

Thanks for your feedback, JackNY !!!  I know you meant "abnormal" in a "good way" LOL  ;D ;D ;D :love:
...as in "special", "unusual", or... "gifted", eh?  :cheers:

P.S. I gifted you "Reputation" points, and I'm sure you'll return the favor, by clicking on the blue heart, eh?  :hug2:

I've thought about this a bit lately, (ok, a LOT ) and I don't THINK I've ever seen a discussion about this topic, so I'm bringing this up… now...

I will speak for myself... after a couple years of having watched the AMAZINGLY CRISP (often 1920 x 1080) Videos that Staxus, Helix, and Bare Twinks (and a couple other) studios have to offer...

I find it "unsettling" to try an watch the older stuff...!!! And I mean "unsettling" as in... I really just can't stand to watch older, lower resolution videos any more!!!

AND this coming from me... who used to be a HUGE fan of the OTB (energized Latinos, fucking like rabbits, gobbling / swapping cum, etc)...!!! NOT to mention the Island Caprice Videos, with those cute Thai guys....

NOW... my brain just goes... "ho-hum... {boring...} let's find that recent Staxus video I downloaded...!!!" 

Really, my "mental-porn libido" has just become spoiled, and seemingly only satisfied by HD Porn, and even 1280 x 720 is "marginal"  !!!!

So I bring this topic up, to get feedback from our esteemed membership, looking for member feedback on this topic...

Have YOU too, been "spoiled" by HD porn??? :blink:

Or am I "abnormal"  :laugh: ??? (having been a career Post-Production Video Engineer in Hollywood for 25 years...??? {prior to my current expat status} MIGHT just have made my "mental focus" unusually sharp or critical, even...?)

So I'm wondering if my former job made me more sensitive to "video quality" than most people... This COULD go a long ways toward explaining my most favorite free-time hobby, that being "Remastering" (Color Correcting and Editing) HD porn videos...  MANY of which have found their way on to the site, here...

Thanks, in advance, for your feedback on this topic of curiosity on my part...

BTW, I've started some new Remastering projects, a 1920 x 1080p 5 member Bare Twink Orgy, originally a two parter, over-chromatized greenish-skin "masterpiece" (well, it will be, when joined and finished, lol)......  Soon to be followed by a 1280 x 720p SDB two parter, to be joined and sharpened, TOTALLY HOT Latino {read ENERGIZED etc. as mentioned above re: OTB). I love my free-time hobby  :cheers:

I'm starting to think our friend isn't going to be coming back here with the results of the "test bonus points w/o VPN vs behind VPN"…

But I'm guessing his whole issue was (from the start) nothing to do with VPNs, but instead, thinking that only if he ONLY had partial downloads seeding (and NO Completed Downloads seeding) that he'd still be earning the .5 Bonus Points per hour… [which isn't correct].

@cannonmc:

But you will still get download upload credit if you seed anything from an incomplete torrent. So all is not wasted by continuing to seed

and that's only if there are actually other members downloading that video… from your computer...  :cheesy2:

Yup, like cannonmc said, when you skip files in a torrent, they will never report back as "completed" (a standard feature of bittorrents) and thus will always show as "leeching" even when you are uploading data in these torrents… (for which you will earn seeding credit, but I don't think the .5/hour bonus)

regarding the bonus point earning...

I would try keeping your torrent client (offering fully downloaded files) running CONTINUOUSLY for three hours, without using the VPN, and see if you pick up the single bonus point during that time... then later on, try it behind the VPN for three hours... as an experiment

I think you'd need torrents sitting in the "Seeding" list (not the "Leeching" list) to be earning the .5 bonus points per hour...

...and I've suggested 3 hours just to make sure there's no issue with system time overlaps, for lack of a better term...

Please do update this forum topic with the results of the above experiment, should you have to time and opportunity to give it a try...

Hi, aaa…

I'm not saying (yet) that this is related... but are you using a VPN for your torrent client to connect to our tracker server?

every step of moderation process seems to take me 45 seconds before the next page appears… hopefully this will go away soon  :blownose:

Thanks for the insight Popper! 

So negative bonus values will display as 0.000 in a member's profile…

The true (negative) bonus values will be shown in any forum posts by the member...

AND the negative bonus values will eventually work their way back to being in the positive realm, and be displayed again, in the profile.

Good to log away (in memory) that double and triple clicks when trading in bonus points can cause this phenomenon!

Thanks again,
Pawpcorn

Dear Goulart,

Sorry to hear about your HD crashing.

You can go to your profile by clicking your member name, top left

After that opens, then scroll down…

See the underlined "Show completed torrents" ?

If you click on that, it will show you the last 250 torrents you downloaded, with http: links to every one.

The torrents you downloaded beyond 250?  You're "green" display would be the only method on that, I believe.

And no, there isn't a way to force the search function to just show you your downloaded torrents, sorry about that.

Take care, and good luck
