@DandyLion Interesting that I'm not listed as a seeder. As mentioned in my DM, when I paused that torrent, then after waiting a short while, refreshed my browser page, the total number of torrents dropped by one. When I then restarted it, it increased by one. So it appears it's being counted somewhere, just not where you'd expect it to be showing up. What would be more interesting is if the numbers for how many torrents I'm seeding is calculated using the same source data as where you looked at individual seeding. If so, good luck with that!

@ianfontinell Thanks for the suggestion about checking the old site and they are in my seeding list on there despite a discrepancy in the upload amount for the torrent that I kept seeding. Not sure why you suggested that I hadn't downloaded all of the Awais Rajput and Qasim Rizvi torrent as my client clearly shows all the files were downloaded.

@Rayshine In qBittorrent, switch to the "Trackers" tab (1) and check what it says at (2). If it says "unregistered torrent", it has likely been deleted. I'm fairly sure it has because I just got sent to a 404 page by the link you gave. [image: 1777242994114-a37b6652-0389-42ba-9457-ce81a47b6d66-image.jpeg] Follow the line back from "Unregistered torrent", to the "Status" column. Is that "Not working"? This status / message is usually the result of a torrent having been deleted. That could be because of copyright strikes, site rule infringement, or simply if a new torrent isn't seeded to completion. (i.e. At least one person has downloaded it in full.) As long as the torrent isn't huge, and it's not obscure enough that few want to grab it, it should download for someone pretty quickly, depending on your own upload speed limit. If in doubt, set it going on a Friday evening, so it has all weekend to complete. Once you've created and uploaded it, you MUST download the torrent from the site, as if you were just grabbing any other torrent, and use that one, NOT the one you created. Once you've done that, check in "My Torrents" that "Visible" becomes "Yes". It will only do so after you've 'force rechecked' (pretended to download) your own torrent. If at all in doubt, or you get stuck, check out the guide at https://www.gaytor.rent/uploadguide.php Go through it carefully to make sure you don't skip any of the steps.

@buckadams78 you might test uploading on the devel site.. im making my last changes for today in a minute.. feel free to test.. you can create the torrent within the form. just drag and drop file/folder/pics to it more is not possible in a browser.. maybe direct seed, but this would need the user to keep the browser window open

@frostycab thanks for the heads up I opted for a dedicated server that has its own ip as I like setting things up my way

@ianfontinell oddly enough just leaving it for an hour it seemed to fix itself maybe because they were changing stuff on the back end not too sure but whatever it is waiting seemed to fix it

@ianfontinell Thank you!

@bi4smooth Thanks - sounds like a solid plan

@trueform qBitTottent should not be a problem. In fact, there is a HOWTO (a couple years old now) on how to properly configure qBitTorrent for maximum use of this site. https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/53086/qbittorrent-gt-ru-guide

@MrMazda said in Torrent did disappear: What gives you credit in my book is that you can express this different view in a civilized and respectful manner. If only you could see my original message lol It's so easy to take things personally that, even being aware of this, that often isn't enough to stop me. But despite my disagreements with some rules (among some other frustrations), I absolutely love this site, and I come here every day, and I'm very appreciative of the people like you who chose to work for free just out of feeling the same way. And just like you said, that's how we learn, and I have learned some new technical stuff about torrents along the way.

@ianfontinell-0 It can behard to judge what will be taken down. For example, know Cutler's Den will be taken down. Keep list of anything know taken down. That's why curious I posted an upscaled version of a video posted 3 or 4 times before in different formats, etc. But sounds like waiting a month for next upload isn't long enough.

@Camb21 go to the torrent page, if there's only around ~10 pictures visible, there will be an option to add more images. you can add as many as you like but they will not be visible immediately, only after moderation's approval. if you don't see the option to add more images in the torrent page, it already have enough images and it won't be possible to add more, you'll have to live with it.

Thank you for the reply. I tried installing your utorrent but since I'm using my TV as a display with 3840x2160 resolution, the UI on that version of utorrent was completely messed up to the point of being unusable. Also, all of my currently seeding torrents didn't transfer over to utorrent. I couldn't really find an older version of bittorrent to install. So does that mean that I'll just have to deal with these tracker issues? Or are there plans to fix them on your system to be compatible with newer versions of the clients?

So my understanding of this DMCA process is that when you upload a torrent, because this site is searchable by the search engine crawlers, it will show up in the likes of Google searches. The content creators can then use Google to see when their content is uploaded - and can send a DMCA request to have it taken down. All torrent sites honor DMCA requests. Not all torrent sites are globally searchable, so they're just more common here. That said, many years ago there were no "strikes" for DMCA takedowns... but like all good services, a few bad apples spoil the fun: as I recall, someone got upset that their favorite studio was DMCA blocking their uploads, so they kept uploading the same content over and over again - generating a LOT of headaches for the site owner, who created this strike system to punish those who continually upload DMCA blocked content. Lesson to learn: if you upload content from a site, say dicks.com, and you get a DMCA notice about it... then just don't upload content from dicks.com anymore! Simple as that! If you DO keep uploading content from those sites, you will get punished for it. You have no idea the legal hassles the come from running a site like this... I used to run something called a BBS (I'm that old!) and as small as that was, I had legal issues to deal with - I can ONLY imagine the site stirred by being the internet's LARGEST and MOST POPULAR gay porn torrent site! I give thanks every day that I can still log in here for the work of the site owner and his staff!

@ianfontinell-0 wow oh noes someone's offended cause i'm right

@puw17333 it worked thanks a lot, i need to check the "create a subfolder" and suddenly worked. Wow you saved me. I don't knwo why this is so difficult to do
