you can also just log in to the old site (using the link on the 404 page), then use your browser back button twice to get back to the 404 page, which will now work. The issue is that you're not logged in to the old site.

the advantage of doing this over editing the URL is that it works for several hours, so if you have multiple reseed requests, logging in for the first one makes them all work.

The search should now be back to normal.

Hi, youngla, thanks for writing…

I just checked a search for torrents that I recently downloaded, and as you say, they are now shown in a very subtle difference shade of green, and yes, it's not as noticeable as before. I'm certain this was the result of software changes made on the website recently.

Your second issue of older torrents not showing up as (light green) you having downloaded them before...??? Sorry to say, but there was a "cleaning" of the database a while back, and it had the unfortunate effect of deleting the entire older history of downloaders for each torrent...  :afr:

Soooo.... It's not YOU, and you're not going crazy :cheesy2: and it's nothing you've done wrong, it's just the unfortunate side-effect of the above-mentioned database cleaning, here on the site.

Your solution to redownload the torrent, is probably the best solution for this situation, since it's clear you're depending on that green shade on the torrents search... to show you which ones you've already downloaded.

Sorry about these issues, and thanks for the terrific explanation of your perceived problem. It made checking the issue, and responding to you, a lot easier than what's often the case...  English is a lovely language, when used correctly, and to perfection.

Take care,

Happened to me 2 or 3 times when I downloaded a large file that was a complete garbage. And the worst part is that the pictures were in high quality.

Note: this torrent https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=6a9e1889b0ab2ac1114eb0475c2477e50dffabf27a7deafe&dllist=1#seeders

youngla, what you wish for actually happens but you need to get the process in the right order.

It's best to have both original and duplicate torrent pages open at the same time.

Then on the one you think is a duplicate, click on Report.

You are taken to a page to enter (copy/paste) the URL of the ORIGINAL torrent.

When you click to confirm your report the message is sent to staff which says the equivalent of "I am reporting the torrent from the page as a duplicate of the torrent I have entered in the box"

There is no need for the reporter to enter both URLs as the software tells the staff which torrent page you are reporting from. So they do see both URLs, but we don't need to. That's why they are staff 😛
