I am seeing this also. Maybe an attack on the tracker?

@raphjd It wouldn't hurt to have this posted on the "show torrents" page (probably with a link here). Not everyone reads the forums.

@lololulu19 said in My position on torrenting gay porn.:

I have a fetish for being correct, and when wrong, correcting my mistakes.

I have seen no evidence of this when it comes to porn and DMCA. There are ample examples of judgements for infringing porn copyrights. Googling Corbin Fisher is an easy way to find several of them. There are also other studios/producers who have sued and won.

Given his post here and another one I found, I expect everyone will be happier now that he has deleted his account.

@raphjd
with all due respect, a number of people here have said they are only seeing it on this tracker. Personally, I am seeing nothing like this on the other 5 trackers I use regularly, and I've been seeing it here solid for 5+ days.

@lololulu19 Please take your politics to the politics section.

@Kekkaishi I'm not sure why you needed to make this political...

@DirtyNick
Yeah, now I'm back to 160/250 timed out. I spoke too soon earlier.

@MrMazda
Prepare for a comment about his preferences in cheese.

@drekkin There are a few uploaders providing recent material from quality sites here - sometimes before other sites. But they are very much buried among posts like you describe.

@vashkevron
I have the same experience, from the US, for 4 days. I use BiglyBT/Vuse. 50-99% of everything from this site only shows as timed out. So that's at least three clients in multiple countries. It seems unlikely that everyone's ISPs, VPNs, etc. all started exhibiting this behavior at the same time.

I have hundreds of torrents from 6 trackers in this client, and only torrents from this tracker have issues.

@frostycab

My BiglyBT says it's B3.5.0.0/4 az3. It has been at least a month since last update. Same with my O/S, router, etc.

Whatever is going on may well be something related to the source of the traffic; yours would be different from mine assuming you're not secretly my next door neighbor or something.

Others have mentioned this, but I see it also. Torrents will connect and be fine for a while when I start a new torrent, or if I restart my client, as many as 100 or so will connect fine for an hour or so. After refreshes, almost all of them end up showing a timed out connection. Currently: 21 OK, 327 timed out. Other trackers: 100s OK, none timed out.

Maybe there is something to @spiffyweasel-0's idea about overeager DoS protection.

@semurg30
too late. He has four children with four different mothers because of his, um, traditional Christian values.

@anthonydraco The URL is just a name used to reach the site... the actual site is the same no matter which name you use. So your ratio, bonus, torrent records, etc. are the same no matter which name you use. It's just that the RU name will stop working at some point.

@ianfontinell Someone posts a torrent. You have the file(s) and decide to help seed it (co-seeding). But the OP hasn't finished seeding yet, and doesn't get credit for the part you seed.

@MrMazda
I restarted my client 2+ hours ago after I saw the notice, and it looked good for a while, but now I'm back to 200/250 torrents showing Connection Error - Timed Out.

@bruh1-0 To add to what @john32123666 said, if you upload during the initial torrent upload,

the pics normally go through without moderator approval. If you edit the post later to add (more) pics, those will require approval. Approval requires a moderator, so it can take some time.

@DJ12345 The EL site owner is (used to be?) very active at having EL material removed.

@eobox91103 said in co-seeding ...:

@tnar I think we have to distinguish two cases:

• Somebody uploads a new torrent, and somebody else "jumps on" this torrent, depriving the uploader of some upload credit. This is impolite. I think the is the situation that the OP is referring to.

• The torrent is old, and bears the "recycle" logo. If there's only one person seeding it, they're probably not the original seeder. In that case, "jumping on" helps the user community by getting the material out faster.

I agree. In fact, helping to reseed (your second case) seems like the right thing to do, in general.

@Vincent9756 Restarted my client 8 hours ago or so. After an hour or so, most were connected, but now I'm back to 200 of 250 timed out. Not fixed.
