We don't face storage space issues. It is rather a question of inspecting the history to avoid unwanted content (e.g. banned studio pictures etc …) and to find moderators for the different old sections.
If you want to take care about a special forum board (fetish or what ever), get in contact with leatherbear.
Please compare the tracker announce URL you see in the torrent client programme (µTorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze/Azureus, …) with the one you see in your Profile if you click on your name in "Welcome back, ..." below the blue menu band
It should look like:
http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/YourSecretePersonalPasskey/announce
Where "YourSecretePersonalPasskey" is a long series of numbers and letters, which you must not publish here ore elsewhere.
Your torrent client programme either doesn't connect to the tracker or doesn't get a message back. So the first step is to assure the URL is a correct one.
–----
If you use µTorrent/BitTorrent, can you check the connectivity please:
Options > Setup Guide ... > check the "Network" box and run the test. What is the result? Green, orange or red?
The difficulty with what I propose is, that it means to start activity here very slowly and to speed up steadily.
Most new members want to get much fast …
That is a particular (valid) view. However I am totally against the perversion to download new torrents not liked, just to try to improve the share ratio. If everyone does that, it amplifies the situation and it creates traffic just for traffic, not to get a file.
The most difficult is certainly to get a feet into it, when starting here. My suggestions to start:
I've many very old torrents and few of them are always demanded. Because I kept the torrent and files, I am one of the few uploading, if not the only.
–----
As for the diversity, it completely depends on the members. What ever you like, if there is something you've got and not against the rules, why not sharing it? That is how variety here can be assured.
It is not that important that there are mostly bareback North American productions, but that there are hundreds or thousands of other things, too.
The new rules are in force.
All submitted material must have GAY THEMED CONTENT or involve VOYEURISM of the MALE PHYSIQUE . Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay characters are insufficient to meet this requirement. Do NOT upload any gay-themed movies that are released/produced by mainstream cinema / TV studios. Examples of voyeuristic material include bodybuilding, wrestling and underwear/swimwear.
There is still some housekeeping needed though on the library of torrents. There is as well ongoing work on the definition of mainstream cinema and TV studios.
In case you see a torrent which for you isn't fitting into that rule and not tagged ~ms, ~ms? or ~ng, please Report it.
You've completed the download of at least 1 torrent all the last 4 days. This means you must have had connections to the tracker to get the peer IPs …
Can you give the exact wording of the tracker error message (it is in the lower µTorrent window under the tracker tab, behind the tracker announce URL).
A particularity of our tracker is that the "Scrape" function is switched off. That generates a corresponding message on all Stopped or Queued torrents "Scrape not supported", which simply means the tracker does not send peer IP information on those.
However, while in that case µTorrent/BitTorrent starts torrents after a while to get peer information, Vuze/Azureus doesn't with it's out of the box setting. Vuze users may try these settinge:
Tools > Options > Queue -> Seeding > First Priority > A share ratio under [1:1], set the rest to ignore and uncheck Torrents with 0 Peers
and
Tools > Options > Queue > Seeding > Ignore Rules > uncheck Ignore torrents with 0 peers
There is no speech/verbal communication on GayTorrent.ru. We don't have (yet?) a live chat. Everything is about written information pictures.
Just an example:
We get the DVD cover pictures uploaded to torrent description, but not mastering that language writing, it is impossible even to determine if it is the matching cover to the movie file. We can't judge the matching of the English translation either and often the same movie is uploaded with 2 different translations …
The site went invitation only again, so there were only a few days with few new members out of which I doubt many are straight.
Basically it are the Gay- and Bi- members from all the time, which post those torrents. As you could get from the poll, there are as many who like to have such torrents than hate it. For the haters is the Profile option to shut off to see them. Are a 2 clicks ask to much?
@mikexryan and bluehue:
You can select no to see any straight and bi-porn in your Profile. Then GayTorrent.ru looks to you as before: only Gay porn.
@AndyPandy:
It is looked at to distinguish Bi- and Straight, but don't ask when that will happen.
As you can see from the poll on the home page, there are thoughts to reverse this.
I hope it will be let to the choice of the uploader to show his account name or not. From the questions on the Helpdesk, we know some uploader would like to show their account name.
Old builds of µTorrent can be download there:
hXXp://http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/
it goes back quite far if one clicks "view more .. " on the bottom of the built list.
For example the latest built of the 2 series 2.2.1, which is recommended for uploader using our QTM upload utility:
hXXp://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/9859/
BTW: We got a torrent for that µTorrent version there > https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=135394
…
The title is the warning that I see under the "Trackers" tab, with the status of [DHT], [Local Peer Discovery] and [Peer Exchange] being "not allowed".
…
Just to point it out: [DHT], [Local Peer Discovery] and [Peer Exchange] being "not allowed" is normal for a well working torrent client programme with "Private" torrents for a "Private" tracker like GayTorrent.ru. Allowing those functions would mean to go public.
The issue is the tracker and the newer versions of µTorrent not being compatible. something which will cause more trouble once these versions will be released as stable built and the majority of members automatically upgraded. :crazy2:
I've changed the title as per your advise. You could make a better description in a comment for that torrent.
We miss staff to manage the Japanese torrents (which are mostly porn). If you are interested, write to the Helpdesk 
Be warned, it is time consuming, can become addictive and not paid.
[div style="color:green"]Oh - how true![/div]
This is a gay site and the straight porn torrents are posted by and for gay or bi-sexual members.
[off-topic]@myrea:
…
and a bit offtopic but let me blah on this, I'm more annoyed with how some torrents are always put on first page of search, they maybe 1 2 weeks old and still getting the privilege of visibility, and getting all the seed, while some other torrents are second, third page hidden in half a day, some of those from users who need the seed, I know that some torrents are prone to be more popular, but the visibility is way unfair. That and the overload of same film but posted in a different sizes or formats, I know its better to have the choice but sometimes it's basically spam.
I've seen your related topic in the Portuguese board, but didn't answer, because I need to use translation tools for that language.
I've promoted the last days some mainstream (tag ~ms) and not gay (tag ~ng) torrents to give a last chance download opportunity before they get deleted. See the new rules for uploading. This is an exceptional flood of promotions.
Then, since all torrents get now listed immediately, there are much more duplicates, which when reported get removed and the original promoted. Before torrents were going through the approval and we filtered around 25 to 30 % of duplicates (!). I hope the ratio of duplicates reduces by up-loaders learning to take their responsibility and members reporting quickly duplicates or at least don't download from them. While moderating torrents at Gay-Torrents.net, I've seen a much lower proportion of duplicates. Similar should be possible to reach here. Then less promotions.
In short the promotions are to give the originals the visibility which was stolen by a duplicate upload.
[/off-topic]
We have a forced redirection to the home page after 6 hours of inactivity … so all members should see the page once a day.
But of course we can't force them actually reading the page instead of clicking "Browse" or "Search" right away.
…
Sure, but this doesn't mean I will post gay twink torrents on, lets say, grannytorrents or some site like that. I don't know why it's gay community who should be accepting, when I will most likely be banned if I ever do anything gay on straight-oriented site.
Sites I know allowing porn got all a (small) gay section … my prediction is that straight will remain small here.
The "Str8, Bi, Trans or Lesbian" porn section over at ourGTN.org got less than 1 new torrent per day, that is all but a flood. The "Mature Porn (Str8 & Bi)" is indeed quite busy with a couple of uploads per day.
However, they are on well separated pages, so unless you select them on purpose, nobody will even recognize those torrents. I had to check what's going on there, because usually I visit there the Porn Movies and Fetish pages only.
If you set in your Profile not to see such porn here on GayTorrent.ru, you will not see any of them, even if it becomes a flood. Perhaps we will create a forum section for discussions about bi- and straight porn, but than it shall be collapsible, means besides the title, you won't see it.
We will watch that there is no gay (or straight) bashing. Chacun sa façon.
I am sure after next changes to categories, there will be no more need to re-select not to want straight and/or bi-porn.
Personally I'd preferred to have the pi-porn category split into two: 1. Bi-porn (MMF) and 2. Bi-porn (FFM), where the first goes with "Gay" and the second with "Straight"
With that I see the need of a fine grained choice in the Profile:
a/ allow to see Bi-porn (MMF)
b/ allow to see Straight , including Bi-porn (FFM)
The making the users needing to disable the Bi- and Straight porn, makes them recognizing the change and to thing about their choice.
Still I think this will not be flooded with straight porn, because all members got at least a "Gay" affinity to register on a site called "GayTorrents". Lets wait and see how this develops .
Please read the "Home" page. It is possible to deselect seeing the bi-sexual and straight porn categories:
Click on "Profile" in the blue menu band and mark the "Straight / Bisexual" box, which will "(Turn off Straight & Bisexual categories)"
Separate choice between bi- and straight is in preparation.
Members explaining their concerns and questions don't bother, especially not you, and even more when making constructive proposals.
Yes, you've got the answer by the torrents marked ~ms and ~ng, which is the result of a first quick scan through the "Themed Movie" category focusing on mainstream (studio) productions. The same needs to be done with the "TV / Episodes" and "DVD-R non-porn" categories.
The classification "Gay Themed" or not being more difficult than mainstream, with a good chance of error without having seen the movie will need more deep in detail review and therefore time.
