In uTorrent I've seen where the tracker is offline so all of my torrents are marked as error. This is very, very rare though.
Usually it's because the torrent has been removed (eg. a copyright claim) so the torrent is no longer valid. Gotta download fast! :cheesy2:
Just to comment that it may not be as bad as you think.
Your sample is biased since you only look at the people rude enough/low impulse control to leave nasty and/or vulgar comments in the first place. There may be more than 10%-20% willing to apologize who avoid making problems to start off with.
These statistically wouldn't be the members writing rude comments to begin with though.
It's a pre-selection bias. The angry trolls tend to write angry comments, and then tend to write angry responses to moderators. It kind of fits with their overall behavior pattern.
Yeah I was going to say you want to search in the Interracial category.
On PornHub, there are some hot videos of white tops barebacking some black bottoms.
I don't mind peers, but I can't stand scat!
Ummm … what does Scat have to do with anything?? LOL
That was definitely a random topic.
MeWe has a lot of gay chat going on (once you get into the gay groups, which can be hard at first)
I personally like to go to https://yts.lt/ (formerly YIFY although not by the same people after YIFY was shut down)
It's well maintained and easy to browse.
I can see that it might be good for some, I didn't like it.
I also don't like that I have to ask them to cancel my account, rather than having a way for me to do it through the site.
If you live in a place where you can get a seedbox, and can afford it, then that is the very best way to go.
Hey @raphjd,
Just curious, do you run your own seedbox? I've tried to investigate a seedbox in the past to set up you my own Plex server. Would love to hear your experiences.
In the end, I stopped after about 3 months because:
The seedbox admin is right.
The 3 examples you showed us are victims of over competitiveness.
If you want to see your seedbox fly, get a twink bareback video that's brand new.
LOL I found the secret to torrenting on GTRU!! WHOOO!!
Here I come twinkies!
I know this is an old topic, but it's one that's worthwhile of ongoing discussion.
Porn can be a healthy release. The problem, however, is that for many people it becomes a substitute for everyday activities and becomes excessive. The human brain is just not wired to be constantly sexually active, so as long as you take breaks and balance your porn with healthy pursuits like physical activity, social activity, and (real) physical companionship it's okay to spice it up with some porn.
What kinds of ebooks are you looking for … gay porn, literary classics, anime??
Project Gutenberg and Open Library are two of the larger ones for books in the public domain.
I also come to GTRU for Asian ebooks. Whoever the uploader is / are does a fantastic job with the Asian porn magazines.
And if you're a member of Gay-Torrents.net, there was an uploader who uploaded several thousand academic / research papers and ebooks.
I'd like to invite you to my community AdonisMale.com. We're not a direct Tumblr social media alternative, but we do offer a modern community experience of forums, blogs, albums, and social clubs.
We've been online since 2013
We're free for all users + paid perks (similar to the donation system here at GTRU)
We're clean and ad-free
We're home to some of the world's most beautiful and largest gay galleries in Playgirl Magazine, Vintage, and Male Models

You are pretty much describing a seedbox or seedbox.
Things to consider;
1. Do you want to use the computer at the same time? If so, then you will be best to set up a scheduling system so your torrents use fewer resources while you're doing your thing.
2. Do you have enough RAM? The more files you have, the harder it will hit your RAM.
3. Do you have enough broadband speed? Will you be able to handle seeding and everything else you want to do with your internet?
If you have an old PC or laptop, you could easily do this the way you are thinking. Just set it and forget it. You'll still have to think of your broadband needs.
++++
I have a seedbox and a NAS.
My NAS is capped at 50% of my internet speeds, except from 10pm to 6am when it can use as much as it wants. I'm getting GigaFast broadband in 2 weeks, so I'll adjust the speed settings again once I see what I need for gaming and internet TV.
Hey @raphjd,
Can you quickly explain an NAS? Is it basically like a home server for media?
And what's the benefit of using an NAS versus your own normal PC for torrenting?
Some thoughts as a webmaster and administrator of my own community:
1. I absolutely agree with the above insight that what you perceive to be hostile or rude behavior may actually be cultural or personal differences. Some people may be very passive aggressive. Some people may be very direct. Some people may be having a bad day, and want to take out their anger on you.
2. Forums allow another side of human nature to come out. In the physical world, there are limitations of what is socially acceptable because you get the consequences of it. For example, if you're rude in the real world, you can immediately see the shock, anger, and disgust in the other person's face and you will get immediate visual and verbal feedback. In online forums, you're anonymous so you may feel like you can "get away" with socially unacceptable behavior.
3. I personally write very direct comments on low-value or misleading torrents. There are torrents with bad or irrelevant screenshots, incorrect descriptions, misleading descriptions, or torrents that are 'stuffed' with extra material to get more download juice, etc. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm trying to instill some accountability on the uploaders and to ensure the torrent system stays clean. It helps everyone if you properly disclose the torrent with accurate and truthful information.
4. Finally, there is a system of accountability for egregious behavior, which is the Report system. Use it. No staff can moderate everything in a large community, so the community needs to understand - and to be empowered - with the ability to report malicious or inaccurate information. You should use the Report system, which flags the content and brings it to the attention of a staff member. Just yesterday, I reported a torrent where the description was (and I'm not joking) "omg wow lol muscle".

This argument can be applied to virtually all requests.
If you feel like YOU specifically are being targeted because you're providing OF/J4F content (and by the way, I've never personally requested anything ever on GTRU), you can always politely explain that you're unable, uninterested, or you'll try to share when you can.
Or you can just ignore the torrent request and move on with your life
Oh gosh, I'm glad that all of you guys already chimed in. I thought I was going crazy … it usually takes photos a couple of seconds to load anyways but then the loading circle just keeps spinning and spinning.
Hope this gets fixed soon by the great staff at GTRU!! :love:
I would definitely recommend OurGTN.
It's a very small site, only about a half dozen new torrents every day but there's no required torrent ratio and the community feel is much more relaxed and welcoming.
Me too, but there doesn't seem to be that many posts in the muscle category
Wow! Congratulations on the 1.1 million threshold for the community
I agree, this really gets in the way of browsing
