If you are having problems, then why haven't you posted in the MAC thread in the support section asking for help?  You have been a member for 47 weeks and this is your first post on the site; old and new forums. How can we help you if you don't ask for it?!

Your download rights were taken away 2 months ago and now you are here saying that you haven't gotten any help.  I looked at the helpdesk requests and you didn't even post anything there asking for help.

We have a moderator that uses MAC and he always checks the MAC support thread.

Looking at your account, I see that you were able to keep your ratio right at the danger zone until your download rights were finally taken on 16 April 08.  I also see that there are torrents that you could have seeded back and gotten your download rights back.

You also have a total seed bonus of 58.875 and you never traded any in.  So that means that you only seeded for 5 days of the 47 weeks you have been a member.  That does not help maintain a decent ratio.

++++

The OP question in this thread was not asking how to fix the issue, he wanted to know if we would boost his ratio so he could download again.

JonClub has a total seed bonus of 13.000, meaning he seeded for only 26 hours out of the 40 weeks he has been a member. He too could be seeding torrents back to raise his ratio.

He only has 3 posts on the site and again, this is the first mention of having a problem.  His only post outside this thread was to request porn.  He made no helpdesk requests.

++++

I stand by my tag line.

I am more than willing to help those who help themselves.  However, in both cases in this thread, neither of you helped yourselves because you didn't seed back or ask for help.

It looks like one of Cadinot's films.

The reason he was not charged with writing viruses, is because Japan apparently doesn't have a law against it.

That might change because of this case, but who knows.

Japanese Man Behind P2P Virus Receives Suspended Sentence

Gets no jail time despite the fact that the virus deleted movie and music files on PCs using the Winny P2P file-sharing network.

Early last year I reported how a P2P trojan was making the rounds on Winny, the Japanese P2P file-sharing network. The trojan deleted a wide variety of file types and replaced them with popular comic book character images warning them not to use P2P.

Here's one of the Trojan images. It reads:

"Ah, I see you are using P2P again…if you don't stop in 0.5 seconds, I'm going to kill you."

Here's a few more:

"This is a visit from the prevealant Piro virus! Stop P2P! If you don't I'll tell the police!"

"Even though Kaneko-San was found guilty, you're still using Winny aren't you. I really hate such people!"

"Ugu! It's me, Ayu Tsukimaya! I think I might start destroying downloaded files and P2P software now..."

"Taiyaki, taiyaki, oh I'd liek to eat some...If you don't bring me some, I'll destroy your files...If you don't stop using Winny, I'll expose you to the police....My phone number is XXXXXXXX...."

In any event, the virus was traced back to 24yo Masato Nakatsuji, who was apprehended back in January, making him the first ever virus writer to be arrested in Japan.

Nakatsuji, a graduate student at Osaka Electro-Communication University, was found guilty in Kyoto District Court and sentenced to two years in jail. However, as the sentence is suspended for three years he will not have to serve any time in prison.

Some are questioning the rationale for such a lenient sentence.

"Masato Nakatsuji has been found guilty of copyright infringement rather than for the damage his movie and music-munching malware caused," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "One has to wonder whether if he had been apprehended in another country then he would have been charged with a more conventional cybercrime and might have got a more serious sentence."

Nakatsuji has claimed that he wrote his malware to try and punish people who downloaded copyrighted material from P2P or file-sharing networks.

"If movies and animated films are illegally downloaded, TV networks will stop showing these programmes in the future," Nakatsuji said during the trial, trying to explain his behaviour. "My hobby is to watch recorded TV programmes, so I was trying to stop that."

Perhaps that explains his lenient sentence.

We haven't banned them, so it's the uploaders or lack thereof that is the reason.

Oh lord, it's hard enough to get people to understand BT.  USENET would be  a true nightmare.

Does this have anything to do with DesiLu Productions {Desi Arnes and Lucille Ball's production company}?

SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court has overturned a ban on gay marriage, paving the way for California to become the second state where gay and lesbian residents can marry.

California already offers same-sex couples who register as domestic partners the same legal rights and responsibilities as married spouses, including the right to divorce and to sue for child support. It's therefore unclear what additional relief state lawmakers could offer short of marriage if the court renders the existing ban unconstitutional.

A coalition of religious and social conservative groups is attempting to put a measure on the November ballot that would enshrine California's current laws banning gay marriage in the state constitution.

The Secretary of State is expected to rule by the end of June whether the sponsors gathered enough signature to qualify the marriage amendment, similar to ones enacted in 26 other states.

The cases before the California court were brought by the city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples, Equality California and another gay rights group in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco's monthlong same-sex wedding march that took place at Mayor Gavin Newsom's direction.

The tale of a pair of gay penguins who adopt a chick has once again topped the ‘objectionable’ list in US libraries.

‘And Tango Makes Three’ is a children’s picture book published in 2005 about a family of penguins – with two fathers.

It is the most ‘challenged’ book in public schools and libraries for the second year in a row, according to the American Libraries Association.

The ALA defines a "challenge" as a "formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness."

"The complaints are that young children will believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle that is acceptable. The people complaining, of course, don't agree with that," Judith Krug, director of the ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom, told AP.

Other books hitting the Top Ten complained about include Maya Angelou's memoir ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,’ in which Angelou writes of being raped as a child; Mark Twain's ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,’ long attacked for racism; and Philip Pullman's ‘The Golden Compass,’ which is widely perceived to be pro-atheism.

The character or the actor Hugh Laurie?

Do not use the "Insert Image" button, as that links us to another site.

Instead, download the picture to your computer.  Then click "Additional Options" in the lower left corner.

Where it says "Attachments", click "Browse" and surf to where the picture is on your computer.

When you are finished with your entire post, click "Preview" to make sure it worked right and you have uploaded the correct picture.  If everything is fine, then click "Post".

I had a similar problem with another torrent.

I wanted to download a torrent but it had no seeders, so I hit the reseed request button and I got the reseed request PM, even though I was at 0.0% still.

Here are the rules for this section;

1. You may only post pictures of yourself.  If you want to post a picture of your partner, then you must have his express permission to do so.

2. Pictures may be from G to R, but no XXX.  In other words, from fully dressed to fully naked, but no sex.

3. Be respectful of other members.  Flaming will get you in serious trouble.

4. Make the title of the thread your user name.  If you want to do a series or set of pictures name then like the following; "raphjd - blue shorts", "raphjd - running shoes".

Umm….......yuck.

Why should anyone be surprised that some people don't prefer asians?!

I know plenty of asians that will only go out with white guys.  They would rather be lonely and desperate then go out with guys of their own race.  This is something I've never understood about asians. It always seemed to be a form of self loathing for many of them.

So if asians don't want to go out with asians, why should others want to go out with asians?  Non asians tend to question this and wonder what is so wrong with them that their own race doesn't even want to be with them.

It seems like a self defeating circle.

Considering how many Hetero porn stars get HIV, I'm surprised they don't use condoms.

Treasure Island Media has some very disturbing videos, such as this one;

IAN JAY, a smooth and boyish 20-year-old, isn't my usual kind of obsession. I'm usually drawn to the no-limits total sex-extremist. Now, I'm not saying that IAN is an innocent little angel. He's been rawfucked before, sure. And he's been in a few videos, some mild and mainstream, some not so mild. So for a guy as young as he is, he's definitely sexually precocious.

But he wrote to me and told me he was ready to take a big step: he wanted to be irrevocably bred. I knew what he meant, and I took him at his word. So I flew him to San Francisco and put him through a deep-boning weekend that would do the job.

Before he came to me he'd been dabbling in raw sex, but he was still naive. By the time the weekend was over, his hole was fuckin' insatiable, ready and willing and available to any man.

If you read the middle paragraph, it sounds like the bottom in the video wanted to be infected.  Even if it's all just hype, that is some sort of sick marketing.

The thing I find most odd is that there is a whole gay sub culture of "bug chasers" and "gift givers".  That really does my head in.

Anyway, if this had happened in the hetero porn industry, I doubt there would have been a story.  It's just another opportunity to make gays look like complete sleazes for doing/enjoying the same thing heteros do.

Anyone know how to put this in Vista x64?

@Slippery:

I think it shows availablility.  Red meaning low seeders where green would me a good number of seeders or health.

Yep.

It's ratio of seeders to leechers and also connection quality/status of all the seeders.

When there are more seeders than leechers, the number turns white.

No idea why the makers called it that.
