So you're considering using a qBitTorrent client for GT.ru?

Good choice! Although there many opinions on which torrent client is better, I personally like qBitTorrent because:

• it's truly public (meaning: no ads)
• it's well-written (meaning: it's highly scalable & uses memory/CPU resources efficiently)
• it looks & runs nearly the same on all of my clients: Windows, Linux, and MacOS!

Win, Win, & Win!

Of course, if you want a list of other options, try Wikipedia.

Also, you will see that throughout this tutorial, I capitalize the 2nd T in qBitTorrent - that is because many people tend to miss the 2-t's in the name, so I highlight it!. It's just a personal whim...

So, let's get started with qBitTorrent on GT.ru:

Step 1: Getting & installing qBitTorrent:

The official website for qBitTorrent is qBitTorrent.org, and you can download their software: here <=- That's a link there!

• Windows users will want to use the TOP portion of the site to download & run the installer. (IMPORTANT: Use the 64-bit installer if you can... and you probably can!).
  NOTE: If you don't like the download redirections, try one of my favorite tools on the Internet: Ninite - (yes, that's a link there, too!) Just check the box for qBitTorrent, download your Ninite, run it, and IT (the ninite installer you downloaded) will install qBitTorrent for you - answering all the questions and making all the right choices for you... its magic!)
• MacOS users will see that support for you is there too, as a DMG (a disk image). Just download the latest DMG file, and load the qBitTorrent client from there.
• Linux users will see support near the bottom of the page. Unless you're using a rather uncommon Linux install, you should see your distribution listed in the 2nd level of drop-downs (first choose Linux, then choose your distro).
  NOTE: Some Linux distributions include qBitTorrent in their own distribution repos - you will be told as much here when you choose your Linux distro...
• If none of these options are for you, there is a tarball option available.

NOTE 1: I will not go into more detail than that about basic installation here... you need to know the basics of installing software on your system in general before continuing here!

NOTE 2: There exists a CLI (command-line interface) for qBitTorrent that I will not cover - at all - here. Google is your friend, however.

Step 2: Basic qBitTorrent Configuration

When you run qBitTorrent for the first time, you will have to admit that you understand that you will be sharing files (content) on the Internet, and that you are responsible for what you share! (vs. the qBitTorrent programmers).

• Click the "I Agree" button here, or stop and go play somewhere else...

That's all there is to it - except that the default settings likely will not be optimal for you... but some of the basics (like associating .torrent files and magnet links to your qBitTorrent client) are already done.

Still, while the settings below are all optional - and some are complex - you should follow along with this guide and make certain changes... I will try to explain each as we go through.
To get to these options, you will click on the GEAR icon at the top of the window (Linux users: it's actually a Wrench/Screwdriver icon for you).
That said, there are thousands of options... I'm only going to cover the ones that I, personally change:

===

We start in Behavior, which is split into sections, the first of which is:

• Interface (including language): this also has an option for a completely different User Interface (UI) - which I have never changed.
• Transfer List: I usually change the option under Action on double-click for Completed torrents: I choose Preview file, otherwise open destination folder.
  In particular, I choose this on my Windows clients - where I nearly always have VLC media player also installed (see Ninite above for a quick and easy way to install VLC!)
• "Power Management": I choose to "Inhibit system sleep*..." on all accounts. This is a personal choice.
  Indeed, I disable sleep in general for all of my systems, preferring to let the turning-off of my display(s) be all of the "power savings" that I choose to do...

Those are ALL the CHANGES I make on this page...

So, moving on to the Downloads section:

• Delete .torrent file afterwards (checked) so that I don't keep all those tiny little .torrent files around AFTER they have been processed by qBitTorrent - it just clogs up my Downloads folder otherwise
• Also when addition is cancelled (checked) so that I don't keep any aborted .torrent files around either.
  NOTE: It says that you might lose data... true, you might lose a .torrent file that you want again later... but GT.ru is a private tracker... if you need it again, you download it again... these .torrent files are TINY in size, but can become quite numerous as you download more and more content!
• Pre-allocate disk space for all files (checked) - I do this so that, in the event I start downloading something that I don't have the disk space for, I'll learn about it sooner, rather than later!
• Append .!qB extension to incomplete files (checked) - I do this so that I can browse my torrent download folder and not get confused when I try to open media that's still downloading (which can be frustrating!)
• Default Save Path: (changed away from the default Downloads folder) - I like to have a special place for my torrent downloads, and this is where I put that place into effect. Maybe it's Movies or maybe its my NAS storage device... this is a highly personal choice, but I recommend NOT letting it stay the default.

All of the other options here are options that are not needed to make the program work, but can be setup to help you if, for example, you run qBitTorrent on a VM in the cloud and want to know when downloads complete, you can make qBitTorrent send you an email (or a text message!). There are tons of these kinds of options - and there is a LOT of online support for qBitTorrent's other features that I don't cover here.

Next is the Connection section, where we get into some of the "nitty-gritty". This is BY FAR the most techincal of the options pages, and I will try to explain my reasonings for each option I recommend. That said, this is one of the areas where people have alternative opinions - some of which are simply outdated, as the Internet does things differently in the 2020's vs the 1990's and 2000's...

• Peer connection protocol: please allow this to remain TCP and uTP (which is really UDP - but a special UDP for torrenting)
• Listening Port: This can be any number from 1025 to 65,535. I recommend changing it periodically (just use the random button) - I change it weekly. HOWEVER changing this value may require you to make changes in your router or firewall.
  Special Note: In the OLD DAYS this port was of VITAL IMPORTANCE because you had to manually open your local firewall port AND tunnel that port through your home router to make torrenting (in particular: seeding) work at all! However, unless you're using a router from the 20th Century (or the early 2000's), it is PnP compatible and you no longer have to do anything to your router with qBitTorrent (it can do it for you with PnP); and unless you're on an older version of Windows, you no longer have to adjust the firewall on your Windows system, either! (The same goes for MacOS users... but, Linux users WILL still have to change their firewalld settings manually to allow these inbound connections. Making that change is beyond the scope of this article. Send a message to GT.ru staff member WikiDude if you need Linux support.)
• Use UPnP/NAT-PMP port forwarding for my router: this should be left on for this kind of connection, but turned off if you're using a VPN or other advanced networking. BUT If you turn this off, you're on your own to manage the port forwarding in your advanced setup. Left ON, this feature allows qBitTorrent to reset the port forwarding on your router automatically (as I explained above). SWEET
• Use different port on each startup: This may be checked ONLY if you have some automated port forwarding mechanism in place: either the UPnP/NAT-PMP above, or a smart-VPN connection - like the one I'll explain below. I do use this option personally.
• Connection Limits: I'm going to group all of these together -- but the defaults are especially LOW. They actually come from when most torrent users were using DIAL-UP MODEMS. Increase these to the extent your Internet Connection allows. On my Internet-connected Linux hosts, I literally turn them off!
• Proxy Server: This would be used ONLY if you were using some kind of old-school (e.g. SOCKS-based) VPN connection. See my VPN recommendations below, in Section 2b.
• IP Filtering: it is unlikely you will need these, unless you run into some specific kinds of problems - unusual problems. If you think you need these, get help online. I have personally never used them.

Next is the Speed section, which is dedicated to making sure you can leave some Internet for your other programs, too! As with the connection limits in the above section, these limits default to a DIAL-UP MODEM level! Unless you happen to *actually use a dial-up connection, you WILL want to change these limits!
A good "rule-of-thumb" is to limit your qBitTorrent to using 80% of your actual available speeds.
WHAT? You don't KNOW your actual speeds? Just head to SpeedTest to find out!
NOTE: On some platforms, this apparently defaults to "infinite" (that is, no limits) - depending on your Internet speeds, you may be OK with that - I personally set them to 80% of my measured Internet speeds!

NOTE: Some versions of qBitTorrent have a section in here to Enable uTP protocol - if that is there for you, enable it!

Finally, the BitTorrent section controls some specific ways that qBitTorrent works:

• DHT can be disabled if you ONLY use GT.ru - otherwise, leave it on! For public torrents, this is needed to help you find seeders. (On a private torrent tracker, like GT.ru, it is not of any value at all).
• PeX falls into the same category as DHT above: leave it on, unless you will ONLY use private trackers, like GT.ru - in which case, it doesn't help.
• Local Peer Discovery can be left on - but it will only work if you're in a network environment - like a school or college - where other GT.ru members may be on your same network. HOWEVER, it can also be turned off - because this is highly unlikely!

I leave the other options here all turned off - but in this section, you can control how many torrents can be "on" at the same time, as well as many other torrent-based limitations. I, personally, leave these off.

The RSS, Web UI, and Advanced sections are all more advanced than this tutorial, so I would not recommend changing any of them now.

Step 3: Configuring qBitTorrent to run on a VPN (highly recommended)

First, I am not going to recommend a VPN provider here. While I personally use NordVPN, I will write another article (separate from this one) on making that choice. Neither am I going to spend time here explaining why a VPN is such a GOOD IDEA. Nope this part is just about configuring qBitTorrent to USE the VPN after you have that piece othewise managed...

Again, my configuration guidelines here assume that you are using an advanced (P2P friendly) VPN service, and not just some SOCKS-proxy or something.

Here are the settings you will want to CHANGE if (and you should) choose to run your qBitTorrent client behind a VPN:

• Kill Switch
  In the Advanced settings we avoided above, there is an entry for Network Interface...
  It defaults to "any" - instead, force it to use your VPN interface
  NOTE: When you do this, understand that: No VPN = No torrenting!

• Listening Port
  When you use your own Router and your own ISP, you may wind up having to manually manage the port-forwarding needed to make torrent seeding work. With P2P friendly VPNs, that is not a problem! Indeed, with a P2P-friendly VPN, I choose the option to randomly select new ports every time I restart qBitTorrent.
  (It's in Connection - Use different port on each startup).

• UPnP / NAT-PMP
  New routers understand special commands that can be put into the connection strings of your torrents... commands that tell the router to forward your ports automatically!
  If you're connecting directly through your router (bad idea), then this is great because then you don't have to do it manually.
  But, if you're connecting on a VPN, turning this on can actually defeat your VPN and trick your router into managing your torrents instead of your VPN - wasting your money and exposing you to lots of bad things.
  So, if you're on a VPN, turn this feature OFF
  (It's in Connection - Use UPnP / NAT-PMP port forwarding from my router).

• Encryption
  We spoke above, albeit briefly, about encryption. Technically, if you're on a VPN, you're already encrypting all of your traffic. Still, I prefer the qBitTottent setting of "Prefer encrpytion" (or "Allow encryption") - that way, if it's there and it works, great, but if it's not there, it'll still connect.
  I know some MAC users who have had issues with the "Require Encryption" option in the latest (4.3.4.1) version.
  (This is in the BitTorrent section).

• Anonymous
  qBitTorrent's Anonymous mode hides the client fingerprint from the peer-ID, sets the ‘User-Agent’ to Null and it doesn’t share your IP-address directly with trackers (though peers will still see your IP address).
  I have had no issues with this setting being ON, though with GT.ru, you don't really need to worry about the tracker knowing your IP address.
  NOTE: You still have to "share" your IP address when you connect to the site... setting this will not help protect you from multiple-account detection on GT.ru.

B'dit, B'dit, B'dit... That's All Folks!

To be a duplicate (which would warrant the removal of your upload), the existing torrent must still be "live".

As a staffer, it is not uncommon for us to encounter a "Dupe Report" where the original torrent is dead. In those instances, the dead torrent is removed (deleted), and the new torrent is left alone. (For What Its Worth: the reporter does NOT get SBP awarded for finding these instances.)

In this case, I suggest you upload your torrent. If you REALLY want to be safe, reference the old torrent in your description and mention that it was dead on the date you uploaded yours!

@F46660T

Please stop with the scatter-shot posting of the exact same rambling "I'm so important, why won't anyone listen to me" Karen-rant!

This was answered in helpdesk, it was answered in another Forum thread.

You deleted your account. It's gone. Poof! Irreversibly gone. Your old torrents are artifacts, left behind... so long as others continue to seed them, they will (like happens with all other torrents) remain on the site! They don't now, and never did "belong" to you.

You want to get your old account back. No.

You want your old account's things given to your new account. No.

You want to throw a tantrum. No.

Is that clear enough?

For those not aware, the Forum is @raphjd's realm amongst the Staff. What he says goes here.

I will leave it at that. Case closed.

Hello all - WikiDude here - just checking things out...

@F46660T

Pardon me for having a sleep/work schedule that is not in-line with your expectations. My, but you ARE a self-entitled one, aren't you!

Just a suggestion: we're all volunteers here, give us 24-hours to respond, not 1-hour! Unless, of course, you don't mind paying $50/mo or so for access to the site so that we can PAY for support staff 24/7?

No? Didn't think so!

Since you've brought this into the public eye, I'll summarize my response here as well...

"Long story short: I'm sorry you feel entitled to recover benefits from your old account. But no. You can't. "

As for taking legal action, go for it. The first thing the lawyers are going to want to know is whether your activities are legal in the jurisdictions of yourself and of the site... good luck learning where that is, and they're probably NOT legal in your own jurisdiction... so yeah, that ain't gonna work.

Just an aside - to provide a level-set here:

We are ALL - staffers & users alike - GUESTS here. Our access - at whatever levels that may be - is granted solely at the site owner's discretion, and can be revoked at the slightest of whims, at any time, for any reason.

BTW: You agreed to these terms when you signed up....

And finally, I will say this: the squeaky wheel doesn't always get the grease... sometimes it gets thrown away!

Here'e a Guide to using qBitTorrent (on Windows, Mac, or Linux)... including config info for this site...

https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/53086/qbittorrent-gt-ru-guide

Can I assume this topic is done then? (Sorry, I was away from this topic for a bit - distracted by other business)

@urx585

Since the point of the padding files is to "shift" the start of each separate file to the beginning of a new "block", it most certainly DOES affect the CRC encoding: the contents of the blocks - even the NUMBER of blocks - is altered.

Let's use a simple example - say I have 3 files, each exactly 1kb in length, and let's suppose our .torrent file has been coded to use 4kb blocks.

• without padding, the FIRST 4kb block would contain ALL THREE FILES - so, no matter what you "selected", you would have to download all 3 files. 1 block total though (and it would be a "short block": only 3kb of the max 4kb block size).
• WITH padding, you would have to download 3 separate 4kb blocks ... 12kb in total, for data that is truly only 3kb in size! (Actually, you would download 3 blocks, but the last one would NOT have any padding - it would be a "short block", with only the 1kb of data - that last block, and ONLY the last block, is allowed to be (expected to be) "short"... so, in FACT, you would download 9kb of data (4k+4k+1k)).

Thus, using padding is a decent idea when you have a torrent with lots of MOVIES (large files), but it is much less so when you have a collection of short (picture) files. In fact, a collection of 1000's of pictures would be absurdly large if used with padding...

Just some thoughts....

Can I assume this topic is done then? (Sorry, I was away from this topic for a bit - distracted by other business)

There is a concept here that @F46660T seems to be clinging to that I feel is worth addressing: ownership

As I alluded to above, there IS NO ownership here. When you upload a torrent, you are agreeing to share it! Once shared, what those people do with it is up to them! They can re-share it on other sites, they can masturbate to it until their penis falls off, they can delete it as a mistaken download... all their own purview!

As I read through @F46660T 's rantings, I get the notion that he expected that the deletion of his account would also delete all of the torrents he uploaded (I don't know, maybe he even thought it would delete all of the torrents he DOWNLOADED too?) Anyway, that doesn't happen. Once a torrent becomes active on the site, it generally remains active so long as someone actively seeds it. "Ownership" ends as soon as the first leecher completes the first successful snatch and becomes a seeder! It is then "community property" as-it-were.

For the record, some torrents live and die (definition of a dead torrent: 0 seeders, 0 leechers) within weeks (even days!), others seem to go on forever! There are some torrents (live torrents!) on here that date from the 2006 re-boot of the site! It all depends on the tastes and desires of the user community!

@WikiDude
^^^^ lets talk about how you were STILL ONLINE for 3 hours after you stopped replying.... lets talk about how i still didnt get a reply back LOL- and also lets talk bout how tonight i sent an imgur link to the pictures to helpdesk and lets talk about how they didnt reply

I don't answer for others, only myself. I use a cloud-hosted VM to access this site, and my connection to that VM is through a VPN. I show as "online" for more hours in a day than most people can stay awake... that doesn't mean I'm in front of the keyboard for all that time.

Oh, and stalker much? Now you see WHY I take such precautions!

and if you wanna lowkey try and point out that im unemployed or some bullshit- lets talk about our jobs and our bank accounts, and then send eachother pictures of our bank accounts; and THEN lets talk about THAT too... id love to see what someone who dedicates their life to a gay torrent site is making, let alone wht type of job let alone if any at all

Not sure where that's coming from. I don't talk about my personal life here, much less finances... and I don't relate to others here like that either. Left field. Maybe check with your doctor? medications run out?

and learn the difference between being a "self-entitled one" and having ever goddamn given right to stick up for myself against a buncha nobodies wanting to be somebodies

Fine line between asking for a new burger, and demanding to see the President of McDonalds because yours was over-cooked. Fine line between just asking for a little customer service, and being a Karen. But, dear sir, you crossed that line... by a LOT!

lets TALKKKK about how it wasnt 1 hour PFFFT.... it was fucking 13 hours now in total- nor you or anyone else who apparently """volunteers""" didnt respond back either tonight when i messaged help desk with an imgur link with the 3 screenshots...

What's with the fascination with imgur? and screenshots?

You asked for special services. Your were told no. Can we move on now?

lets talk about how im always on the darkweb and have friends that are russian technocratz

I have friends too... we should congratulate each other in private, though...

lets TALKKKK about how i can literally get them to fuck your networking / data / electronics / and everything else you can think up online and offline- along with obtaining all of your personal information both online and offline....

OK, so if you are really trying to get yourself banned from the site, you're taking steps in the right direction...

LETS TALKKKK about how i can have them obliterate this site, since you wanna try and threaten to make me pay a measley 50 dollars when im sittin on 6 figures stacked thus so far...

I'm impressed... 6 figures! Is one of them a box, and the other a circle? I'll bet one is also a triangle!

No one here is making money. Not even the system owner, who gets all of the donations, but whose expenses GREATLY exceed any donations.

lets talk about how im not going anywheres wether i get blocked / disabled or not for simply speaking the truth and trying to get an answer outa just ONE of yous to be ignored every single time- and lets talk about how this has been going on for 2 months now, and the ppl on this site are lucky that me + alex + ruben + liam were nice enough to wait THAT long to finally get not an answer, but countless lack of answers when the same subject is brought up; proving what we have assumed all along...

Your truths are not the same for everyone... gee, let's do a reset here... this isn't National Security... this is a bunch of gay men sharing porn. Lock, stock, and barrel!

lets talk about how one of the mods on here who added me in instagram before i took my social out of my page due to everyone on this site adding me literally RATTED the ppl on this site out.... proving even more that once again- we were right all along

"ratted the ppl on this site out" - in exactly what way? What nefarious plot is there supposed to be? Are we secretly stealing your porn? Your mind? I'm missing the whole sub-plot here... maybe I've misunderstood the purpose of this site... isn't it just to share porn in an equitable and fair manner?

lets talk about how nothing is going to hurt the case of 4 pornstars with 6 digits (and more for 2 of them) in their savings..... not to mention, this site overall in general is illegal enough as it is- funding off of the porn they're illegally posting and profiting off of in the shadows definitely wont help lmfao

4 porn stars are going to be hurt with 6-digits (I don't know, a SSN is 9 digits, a us phone number is 7 or 10 digits... where are 6-digits coming from? Not 3 porn stars, not 5, not all porn stars, not "a lot of" porn stars... FOUR.

Have you been sleeping well?

lets talk about how you brought up that 50 dollars of dust because clearly the donations arent working for y'all- which is why y'all gotta profit off of peoples torrents that are getting THEE most attention and keep them up for yourselves after users delete their accounts- and no im not the only one...

Hmmm... in what way are we actually profiting off of other people's torrents? Remember: no torrent data is actually stored on our servers, we just put peers in touch with peers: share-givers, with share-takers. And we profit from this how?

Where did $50 come into play? I looked up your account - there is no indication of your having donated to the site. If you did under your old account, then that's too bad... as with everything else associated with that account, it's gone. I'm not sure what nuance of "deleted" was unclear to you.

"Long story short: I'm sorry you feel entitled to recover benefits from your old account. But no. You can't. "

^^^^^^ONCE AGAIN- and if you wanna lowkey try and point out that im unemployed or some bullshit- lets talk about our jobs and our bank accounts, and then send eachother pictures of our bank accounts; and THEN lets talk about THAT too... id love to see what someone who dedicates their life to a gay torrent site is making, let alone what type of job let alone if any at all- this aint about no benefits LMFAO this is MUCH more so about y'all not taking down their videos they gave me permission to upload- just for me to delete my account and for y'all to keep them up to fund off of THEIR property

OK, again with the finances. Same suggestion, same answer. NO ONE is making money here! Not even the Site Owner! Your (plural) donations offset his expenses, but come nowhere near what would be needed to cover them, much less make a profit!

But you do add another thing here... the idea of property. This is a sharing site. You didn't own what you shared to begin with, and once you started sharing it, you pretty much gave up any ownership rights.

So, I go back to my original point: You (and I) are just guests here, on this site. The Site Owner sees fit to allow me to admin some parts of this site, which I volunteer to do because I like porn and I like the idea of freely sharing it! He can boot me out tomorrow (today, even), just like he can boot you out!

If he does, there is nothing we can do about it, because we agreed to the terms of service when we setup our accounts here!

lets talk about how im the last one they're pissed at because i wasnt the one who knew shit uploaded was gonna be kept POSTED UP by yous to profit off of after i deleted my account- and being ignored when asking about it every single time

Can we stop at "deleted my account" - because that REALLY IS the end of it! Account deleted. Gone. Ooops, missed the chance to wave goodbye, because it's gone.

end of story there

LETS TALKKK ABOUT "BUT YES, WE CAN!" because they are already JUST starting the process via the law as i write this...

New laws - cool. In which country? Can't wait to see which country claims control over the Internet next! Such theater!

and ONCE AGAIN, learn the difference between being a "self-entitled one" and having ever goddamn given right to stick up for myself against a buncha nobodies wanting to be somebodies

Yeah, we covered that earlier too... fine line between a disgruntled client, and a Karen... and you done crossed that one a while back!

^^^^ LETS TALKKK ABOUT how aint FUCK ALL gonna happen to either of the 4 of us and how y'all will not only be in shit and paying $$$$ for using not only their videos left posted up to profit off off... BUT THIS ENTIRE FUCKING SITE IS GONNA SEND Y'ALL INTO THEEEE FUCKINGGGG GROUNDDD LMFAOOO

Four of us? Three of us? I have no idea what you're talking about, but again you allude to profits that just aren't there! I'll make a proposition - albeit I have no legal authority to do so...

I'll propose that you can have 10% of all of the profits from this site, so long as you agree that if the site loses money, you have to pay 10% of those losses. Deal? I'd bet the Site Owner would LOVE to have someone committed to covering 10% of the expenses of this site! ROFL!

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

"We are ALL - staffers & users alike - GUESTS here. Our access - at whatever levels that may be - is granted solely at the site owner's discretion, and can be revoked at the slightest of whims, at any time, for any reason."

^^^^ lets talk about how you can keep on tellin yourself that as a form of anxiety ridding comfort LMFAO

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

BTW: You agreed to these terms when you signed up....
^^^yes tf i sure did!!! but i didnt sign up to have the fucking videos left posted up when i DELETED my account for y'all to profit off of- and i didnt sign up for random ass nobodies to harass me and for me to not spit some slick shit back with every god damn given right- my daddy didnt raise a fuckin chump andim not sorry that y'alls did- the minimal few of y'all who actually had a father figure in ur lives LOL get real...

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

LETS TALKKKKK about how you not only did i not sign up for what im bout ot state but lets talk about how you didnt care enough to consider the racially fueled information i stated (not surprizing) =
"nah im good, theres no type of "problems" im scared of and/or going to get into; im not scared of a bunch of full grown whyte men in their late 40s . early 50s and up; sitting behind a computer who snap at anybody who doesnt share the same interests and/or beliefs as they do- and last but not least; people who dont share the same white blood and skin as them... and how barely anyone said a thing about me posting this seeking an answer from anyone else since y;all dont do ur jobs cuz yous dont wanna self snitch- when usually if i simply pointed out a forum filled with blatant racial comments and "jokes" (of a group of mods that is) id get screamed at with 583457485798 racial slurs- then having them try to call me "racist" in a split second- along with if i made it known that im not into scat or anything that anyone else is into = id get screamed at for simply having preferences that are not the same as theirs even though i never would get so wound up seeing people stating that they dont have the same preferences as me- just speaking from personal past experience; if i was to list things ive seen said and done to others id be here all night.. but yea, point being is = theres a reason theyre viewing and watching but staying SILENT- wen thats always been the last thing they would do / be.... always bein on their fuckin power trips screaming at strangers ike man-babies to make up for whatever tf it is they lacked in their miserable ass lives as a child; more than likely a father figure on top of not bein able to step up to all the kids who made fun of / name called / talked shit / pushed them around in school- so y'all use this site as an outlet to make up for the fact y'all couldnt do fuck all for yourselves as kids/teens- and CLEARLY still would never / could never if it was to someones face..."

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

"And finally, I will say this: the squeaky wheel doesn't always get the grease... sometimes it gets thrown away!"
^^^^^and this "squeaky wheel will roll right tf back in after you block me or disable me or whatever tf like a piece of cake- u clearly dont know ANYTHING about the darkweb let alone what russian technocratz can do LOL so say bbye i guess- bbut be ready to say HI!!!! im about 5 minutes after doing whatever tf ur gonna do- and it also wont stopy'all getting in the shit thats being arranged out as we speak

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

this is a perfect example of why you shouldnt talk/act slick to strangers online because y'all dont even know who tf they are let alone what connections they could have... LOL

Long story short, sweetie, you've made a lot of assumptions here... most of them being totally wrong.

Sorry for the repetition... but YOU were so repetitive, I just couldn't keep it up...

You really should see a Doctor... these delusions could be a sign of something really bad!

Please stop with the scatter-shot posting of the exact same rambling "I'm so important, why won't anyone listen to me" Karen-rant!

This was answered in helpdesk, it was answered in another Forum thread.

You deleted your account. It's gone. Poof! Irreversibly gone. Your old torrents are artifacts, left behind... so long as others continue to seed them, they will (like happens with all other torrents) remain on the site! They don't now, and never did "belong" to you.

You want to get your old account back. No.

You want your old account's things given to your new account. No.

You want to throw a tantrum. No.

Is that clear enough?

@F46660T

Pardon me for having a sleep/work schedule that is not in-line with your expectations. My, but you ARE a self-entitled one, aren't you!

Just a suggestion: we're all volunteers here, give us 24-hours to respond, not 1-hour! Unless, of course, you don't mind paying $50/mo or so for access to the site so that we can PAY for support staff 24/7?

No? Didn't think so!

Since you've brought this into the public eye, I'll summarize my response here as well...

"Long story short: I'm sorry you feel entitled to recover benefits from your old account. But no. You can't. "

As for taking legal action, go for it. The first thing the lawyers are going to want to know is whether your activities are legal in the jurisdictions of yourself and of the site... good luck learning where that is, and they're probably NOT legal in your own jurisdiction... so yeah, that ain't gonna work.

Just an aside - to provide a level-set here:

We are ALL - staffers & users alike - GUESTS here. Our access - at whatever levels that may be - is granted solely at the site owner's discretion, and can be revoked at the slightest of whims, at any time, for any reason.

BTW: You agreed to these terms when you signed up....

And finally, I will say this: the squeaky wheel doesn't always get the grease... sometimes it gets thrown away!

I am not the staffer you asked for, but I want to make a few things clear:

• Padding is not useless - it is used in "collections" (torrents with multiple files) to aid users who want to download only PORTIONS of the torrent.
  Read more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31925507/torrent-padding-files#
• Padding (in clients that recognize it for what it is) does not inflate download size. Clients that properly recognize the padding won't actually download the "pad" data. ALSO: when done right, the PAD data is all-zeros... so that when compressed, it has almost no content at all.
• When uploaders supply a torrent to the site, the site DOES validate the torrent - so what you're asking might be possible programmatically, but with so many other things being worked on right now, it might not make it to the "high-priority" list.

So, what's a boy to do?
Well, one of the torrent clients that DOES handle padding properly is qBitTorrent. Also, there is absolutely no reason you can't have TWO torrent clients installed on your system... when your older-but-favored client chokes on a torrent due to padding, use the qBitTorrent client for that torrent, then go back to your normal life.

Here's a how-to for the qBitTorrent client - for Windows, Mac, and Linux: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/53086/qbittorrent-gt-ru-guide
