When I've been in China I had to: disable the DHT and local peer discovery in order to avoid getting probed by the GFW disable uTP and restort to the traditional TCP-based transport In the past, people rewrote the window size (by interception) to a smaller, randomly chosen value. The GFW regexp(s) did not recognize the torrent traffic. But now the fw seems to do stream reassembly, so this is not effective. I asked some friends in China… It doesn't seem gaytorrent is actually the subject of dns poisoning, nor ip blocking. But the topology of the GFW is not homogenous, so it's difficult to be really sure. If this is the case you may try to tunnel the connection to the tracker. (shadowsock, psiphon, tor, lantern, streisand, ...) In my case, a VPN wasn't an option.. The connection for high-bandwith streams isn't stable in mainland since VPNs are banned.

Speedtest.net: 17ms ping, 32Mbps down, 19Mbps up (browser->ssh_proxy->wifi->lan_server->ipsec->router->internet) Line speed: 15ms ping, 98Mbps down, 21Mbps up (router->internet) GTorrent: 244.70kB (~2Mbps) up, 3.41kB (~0.03Mbps) down (torrent->lan_server->ipsec->router->internet)

@lololulu19: Your advice is very good for most people, because most people can't tell the difference between what is a real threat and what is a false threat.  The members of THIS site are typically very experienced computer geeks that know the difference. Thanks for your response. I know I'm probably a clueless newb, because even though I've been on this site for 11 years and have worked as a software engineer, I don't think people uploading software with viruses is cool. Call me crazy! And "very experienced computer geeks"? Where does that come from? This is one of the largest gay torrent sites, and draws all kinds of people. @lololulu19: There is one sure-fire way to prevent all computer viruses and malware.  Unplug your computer and lock yourself in a closet. Well, if the site follows its own rules and doesn't allow commercial (virus / trojan  keylogger / etc. laden) apps to be uploaded in the first place…that may be another way.

Trouble was resolved. Problem was with NOD32 antivirus software.

@fistedboy: I do not understand why when I share my torrents they go anonymous :cry2: The answer to your question can be clarify by clicking this LINK

True, and duly noted. I didn't know you had the option to be able to only load specific segments of a torrent? I will have to look into this! I am still very green, much I need to learn.

It varies. The person who makes it free leech gets to decide.  Personally, I always make them 4 days (96 hours). Site wide free leech is set by the site owner at certain times of the year, like christmas/new years.

Just for clarification, I thought I read somewhere that screen shots were to be kept down to 10?  It was a post regarding screen shots that were deemed "spamming" I think, and had to do with people sticking things up just in order to drive up points. I am getting ready to do a rather large upload, if the cap is 20 that would make my job infinitely more easy!

I don't see the option to use paypal to donate sadly.

Found the solution: STOP all the active torrents and re-start them. When you stop them, it reveals any torrents which are in an error state. Torrents which are in an error state but not tagged as being "bad" will jam up your transfers. Once tagged, they don't cause a problem.  Then you can fix the torrents by moving files and re-checking and starting them again.
