Hi Poland! 

It's definitely easy to get suckered into downloading, three's so much great porn on GTRU

I would recommend that you either: donate or freeleech recent torrents.  Those are probably the two most effective ways to quickly boost your uploads.

LOL wow what a crazy story.  Yeah if I were the girlfriend, I'd never go down there since that's just a bacterial infection waiting to happen

Hi, you're looking for romance on Grindr?

I hope you know that during those 4 years while you were texting the love of your life, he was probably getting cornholed by every random Grindr  hottie he could message.

I know this sounds blunt, but if you want a normal relationship, then take a step back and first identify the avenues where people might actually be looking for serious and real relationships.  I'm not saying you can't find love on Grindr, but I am saying it is your fault for pinning all your hopes on a Grindr hookup.

Yes it is!!

Seedboxes and VPN are both valuable ways to protect yourself, and they will add a layer of cost.

Seedboxes allow you to rent a server who will upload / download all the time, and you can stream the movies directly from the seedbox to your computer.  It's basically an 'arms length' transaction, so it has the strongest protection.  The downside is that the seedbox can be cut off for breach of violation

We can debate the ethics of this all day, but I think it comes down to how the website can efficiently and effectively moderate these packs (and I do believe this is an interesting philosophical discussion on the value of torrents.

But more pragmatically:
1.  Where should a moderator draw the line to say that one pack contains too much redundancy and one pack doesn't?

2.  Where should a moderator draw the line to say that one pack is unique enough versus one pack doesn't contain enough focus?

3.  How do you consistently apply this to both new and old torrents?

4.  Will this cause a chilling effect on the pool of uploaders who are trying to get seedbonus?

5.  What's the punishment for doing so?  Should it be less severe than uploading a clearly duplicate or fraudulent torrent?

No, you'll need to rely upon the information provided in each torrent to determine the resolution of the video size.

Hello stretch, even though you're probably long gone by now  :cheers:

Happy Nwe Year to GTRU 2020! 

For anybody who would like an invite, please send me a PM

I don't often browse the forums so do NOT expect an invitation by posting on here.

Happy to have made a donation to keep GTRU running!

You need to use the Search tab, which allows you to skip pages in the URL

This won't work in the Browse mode

Merry Christmas to the GTRU community!

May the magic and gay porn wonder of the season be with you throughout the next year / decade! 

@raphjd:

YES, there is a problem with video packs being loaded with crap that breaks the rules.   A pack must have a connection, of some sort.    Sadly, it seems like many packs are just random videos.   I think we, the staff, need to enforce the rule on this a bit harder.

It's already against the rules to upload something and not fully seed it without contacting a Mod to explain why you can't.  If it's a tech issue, the staff may be able to help you.

Hopefully the first issue something you can bring up with Pawps and the other staff members for discussion and implementation.  I think everyone can agree that GTRU hardly needs more torrents for the sake of quantity (you guys already have an amazing large collection), and everyone would appreciate more careful moderation of curated torrents.

The second issue is really hard to measure and enforce.  What does it mean to 'not fully seed' … what if your connection gets closed down for an emergency because you have no power? what if it takes you longer to seed?  what if you can't seed during the daytime?  This is a tough scenario and I'd rather be forgiving for torrenters who try to seed.

I love the idea of packs myself, since it allows users to grab the 'entire collection' all at once.  One of my concern for torrents that are part of a series is that I might miss one of the torrents, and it gets taken offline before I have a chance to grab it.  There are a lot of old torrents (from before I registered) where I don't think I'll ever be able to grab the complete collection because they were spread across multiple torrents.

I understand the concern of the OP, though, who wants a fully seeded torrent.

I wonder if there's a way to notify the uploader / seeders to keep seeding?

That's interesting and thank for sharing.  Also thank you to @MrMazda for providing the info.

@VanguardT:

Have similar issue to OP, uploading bandwidth has been pretty slow on my end as well

Here are a couple of things to help you out:

• Stick with freeleech torrents
• Upload content to share
• Only partially download some of the files in a large pack so you can be the 'root' uploader of those files
