@multiharvy: I am getting the following error while uploading Unable to load "qtm.torrent": torrent contains no piece hashes! how do I fix that Does the title of your torrent contain any unusual characters?  I found this in the QTM guide: Some members have written the helpdesk, reporting: when I try to upload a file using QTM I keep getting an error that says "Unable to load qtm.torrent: torrent is not valid bencoding!"     ~or~ "I tried to create new torrent by QuickTorrent Maker v.1.14, but unsuccessfully. Torrent file says "torrent has no hash parts". To fix this issue, you need to take the special characters out of ALL of the file-names, by RENAMING the FILES. ALL file-name characters must be normal ASCII characters, WESTERN ENGLISH FONT. This error occurs when there is an unsupported character in one or more of the filenames in the torrent's contents. Generally, the most common character is the apostrophe. Please ensure that there are only regular letters or numbers, dots, spaces, or dashes in the filenames of all of the files in the torrent. Once that is done, try creating the .torrent file again and uploading the torrent again. The new upload should work once these characters are removed.

@bearbearbear: You should consider deleting this post on your own as obviously he never intended for a folder that includes photos with his girlfriend along with his nude photos to be made public.  It's probably already had a huge impact on his life and he looks like a nice enough guy.  Give a high school kid who made some dumb mistakes a break and don't try to identify him and make his name public, too. Another good reason to delete this post is that it's obvious what state he lives in and possessing or disseminating nude photos of anyone under 18 in that state is considered child pornography even though the age of consent for sex is 16 or 17 depending on the situation. Mods should consider deleting that torrent for the same reason. @bearbearbear well said !!! … :cheers:

Sometimes torrents can have a slow start, given that updates to the tracker is limited to once every 30 minutes. One way to get around this limitation in order to get started, is to watch your torrent on this site. At first it will say 1/0 to indicate there is one seeder (you) and 0 leechers. If you see it change to 1/1 on this site then that means someone is trying to download. If they did not connect to you or it still shows as 0, remove the torrent then add it fresh to your torrent client and let it finish scraping. This may be a way to update the tracker and connect with your peer sooner. Sometimes it can be a way to freshen your connection if you see a number like 5/7 but none of the 7 peers are connecting to you.

These are really great answers. Thanks for the help!

This is the wrong section. Make 3 non-rule breaking posts and the request section will be open to you.

@raphjd: Flozen answered it but I'll add a bit more detail. After we made the switch from she-male to trans, we had a choice.  We either totally kill off she-male but that would mean deleting all the torrents under that category or we delete the category but leave the torrents to die a natural death.  We decided to let them die a natural death. Because we have members (thanks guys and gals) who keep sharing old stuff, she-male will take a while to fully die. You're the man, man!

Thanks for the input Gentlemen. I will add it in the comments section of the relevant posts, noting that it is a created cover so there will be full disclosure. Thanks again for your assistance. D.

@luisfmm: Hey guys, not the most savvy when it comes to torrents, but I know my way around. I've read the guide and know that there's a recommendation to use uTorrent, which is precisely the client I've always used. However, I've noticed that my upload rate is really low for torrents from this particular website/tracker (tw), even if they're recent and popular. Is this a recurring theme? When I download from other websites or trackers the upload rate is usually pretty good so I know my internet isn't the issue. Am I doing anything wrong? Recent and popular videos that have a lot of peers could naturally result in low upload speeds because of the nature of torrenting.  If torrents from other sites don't exhibit the same problem, then it is most likely just bad luck. If a torrent is not recent and popular, for instance if you're the only seeder, then upload speed would also depend on the downloader's download speed.  I frequently see rates of 0.7 KB/s.  Might not be their actual maximum download speed but maybe there is some other bottleneck such as their ISP limiting certain kinds of traffic.

@chia: search for ss108 from your link and click on the result. awesome workaround btw  :funny2: Right.  A Google search often returns results for torrents that are no longer available on the site because Google caches pages on their own systems for faster search results.

@Pornbaron: Does anyone else find the new browser is reducing the use of the site? I used to use the browser when it was 1 pic per post showing to quickly scan to find vids of interest and then hover over to see the other pics. Now with very long series of pics for a vid, its almost impossible to spot vids with only one pic showing. This has greatly reduced my use of the site. Quite frankly I think it is selfish of the posters if its done deliberately - like trying to drown out other posters. Personally, I would like to see it deactivated. PB It is irritating but I don't think it's done deliberately to crowd out other posters.  Some studios make those strips of photos available for publicity.  There must be some reason they release them in that format but I don't know what it is.  Perhaps it is a tradition from pre-digital times related to proofs?  If anyone knows the reason, I would be very interested to know.

@bearbearbear: Yes, promoted, it has the recycle symbol and if you check the torrent page you'll see the original upload date.  You don't need to download the torrent file again if you are seeding as the old one still works. Thanks Bear.bearbear That was a helpful reply. That listing is being sorted by upload date so it's weird to me that not only should an old file appear first in the list but that the file information would show something that a reasonable person would assume to be the upload date when in fact it's something else. imo users should have to click into a file to determine its actual upload date and and upload date sort should actually sort by upload date; promoted file or not. I will offer this as feedback to the site devs.

I like being able to use a regular Google search for this site because it is easier to pinpoint what I'm looking for and also torrents that are no longer available here sometimes show in search results.  The on-site search feature here has been very wonky at times, to say the least.

@pisakid: I have four downloads waiting for about 24 hours saying they are looking for peers. Sorry if this is in the wrong place to seek advice. Thanks pisakid What do the individual torrent pages here on gt.ru say about the number of seeders and leechers?

@Liquid: Is anyone else having trouble scrolling through images (ie. click left or right button) on torrents since the site upgrade?  For me, sometimes it works, sometimes I just get the single image and have to back out then select the next image. I've noticed that sometimes when I click on the right hand forward arrow on an enlarged image that it will go back to the previous photo.  Then the next click and subsequent clicks go forward as normal.  May be related.

@miki200: damn ratio problems i know that It's also good to know that responding to threads with the prior response from 2 and 1/2 years ago is unlikely to be helpful.  Try raising your own ratio via an early jump on Freeleeches. The single Seedpoint you gained from your response here is a drop in the bucket, and pushes other, more current threads down the ladder.  Good luck in your efforts.
