Thanks. No, I had another more recent in mind… but it isn't that important to find the old topic back.

@cannonmc: One tiny addition to Popper's definition… If it has the Same Name and the same size, there is a good chance it is a duplicate! (No, i'm not being frivolous, it happens more often than you realise ) Yeah! Its totally work! Same (or a little bit different) and same size. I got 2 so far. Made me rich with 100 seed bonus  :cheesy2: :cheers:

Actually I see one torrent of the three "seeding" (means proposed as source for download), but there is currently no peer downloading, so there is no upload of data possible. The good thing is, that your torrent client is reported connectible  Now you can perhaps start seeding the other completed download, though there isn't any peer downloading either, to increase the chance that there is eventually a downloading peer on one of them.

Oh, it never even occurred to me that the ratios might be right. I just assumed there was some sort of bug in the system. But if I feed a hamburger to my pet guinea pig, she will gain a lot of weight, but if I feed the same hamburger to my pet hippopotamus, her weight gain will be hardly noticeable. (I don't recommend hippopotamuses as house pets, by the way, although there is this: Jessica the Hippo ) Thanks for your answer.

Virtually all domestic connections will download faster than they upload. That's the way the ISPs allow it. You can check your speeds at http://www.speedtest.net/ - only click on 'Begin Test' To upload there must be somebody at the other end who wants to download - check via the individual torrent page that there are actually leechers online

Happened to some of my seeding videos too, so I tried searching for the torrents again here but it's gone. Kinda unfair because our download ratio increases but you can't seed it anymore if the torrent's deleted. ???

Gaycelluloid is a great resource already mentioned.  I would like to recommend the book (in PDF or e-book) form, The Bent Lens: A World Guide to Gay & Lesbian Film.  You can find it on the pirate bay.  I have also seen it on other torrenting sites. The book breaks movies into Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Fringe as well as an A to Z listing.

@buffboybryan: … also do the videos of a white dude getting gang banged by a bunch of black dudes go under interracial or groups? Initially that will depend on the category the uploader finds the best fit, both "Interracial" and "Group-Sex" are possible from your description (and most likely other due to things not mentioned in you example description). Then the uploader can vote additional categories, so can members having complete the download of the torrent's file(s) and if enough agree on another category, main category changes, with the exception of a few "protected" against change). You might want to contribute proposals of definitions for the existing category in the other topic announced on the "Home" page.

:lolp: I try to stay away from the daily business leaving that to other newer moderators and drive some projects which improve GayTorrent.ru (processes, guides, rules, templates, …). Only the tip of the iceberg is visible. Getting multiple proposals of definitions and use of categories made by members, should allow to get an understanding of different interpretations and hopefully enable to come up with a good compromise out of them.

Just throwing it out there: Staff are all Member Users too! (as illustrated by my 1.17 TB  :afr: of downloads  :cum: We just want the same things everyone else wants in a torrent site: simple, easy, friendly, great selection of quality content. Add the 'extras' of full service Forum/Helpdesk, onsite integrated Chat and Multinational Membership = GayTorrent.ru! which pretty much has something for everyone :mout: :fake: :smurf: :pee2: :gs: :69: :69_2: :foot: :diddle: :tf: :missio: :anal2: :churn: :ride:

First thing to try is to close QTM and try again. If that doesn't help, clear cookies and cache in both Internet Explorer and your default web browser. Then try again.

Thanks…... ;D ;D

It's an interesting point. In the UK illegal pornography is generally defined in terms of: Possession and distribution and Extreme content or able to corrupt the audience The descriptors are vague and really address a pre-internet era reality. Extreme pornography in relation to harm to others is very specific though. Judgement is made as to the degree of harm the physical body is perceived to receive because of the acts depicted. This can range from possession of fisting porn (recently an attempted prosecution based on this was thrown out of a UK court) to rape and violence where blood and actual bodily harm can be seen. I've wondered if technically speaking possession of gay rape genre videos downloaded from the internet would be illegal in the UK. Certainly in the UK there is concern about the rape porn websites that exist to cater for those who are turned on by that genre. But the driving force is generally concerned about rape against women and not gay fetish as such. Personally i think some of the gay rape enactment vids which pop up on the gay torrent sites have nothing to do with the extreme s&m fetish videos and are specifically rape focused in nature judging by the screen caps. Enactment (consensual) vs actual (non consensual) is a key to the legality and it's tricky ground at least in the UK. However cases have been tried in the UK where the enactments were consensual but the level of injury to the body was deemed illegal. ( A famous s&m trial some years back.) The recent case of a bestiality trial where the animal in question was proved to be a person in costume overturned the attempt to convict on the basis of possession of bestial pornography. So the consensual issue is important and needs to be proven. Therefore consensual enactment of rape could be legal if the level of harm to the physical body is negligible and legal notices indicating consensual can be verified. Where in the UK the prosecution fails to secure a successful trial on the basis of possession, distribution, depiction of extreme content or non consensual activity, they can turn to the issue of 'liable to corrupt the audience'. Of course as soon as one tries to interpret the issue of 'liable to corrupt' things become ambiguous and there is a lot of misunderstanding about what at the fringe end of pornography is illegal because of the loose terms which define the law in the UK . For example both consensual rape enactment and scat porn are flagged up as both illegal and legal in the UK. On the one hand they are consensual (where known to be provable) and do not depict actual bodily harm but on the other both can appear extreme by definition and could corrupt if possession is within the vicinity of children for example in a family home or the defendant appears to have an unnecessarily unhealthy interest in the fetish indicated by large collections of material and extensive social networks orientated around the fetish. There are mixed indications regarding the number of prosecutions in the UK with some sources indicating success in certain cases whilst other sources site these as entirely legal. It appears that each case does to a a degree get considered within it's own context and is subject to the views of the judge or jury overseeing the interpretation and application of the law upon it's own situation. So one suspects the mods here must make decisions about content in the same way, on a case by case basis. I've been curious as to which country's laws the mods apply taking that no international agreement exists for regulation of some of the extreme porn available such as rape porn - but famously child pornography has generally been the notable exception to the otherwise lack of consistency in international law. twzz

interesting $5 million a year profits for a troll….... However if i understand correctly the change in procedure means local state courts handle local state cases only and not multi-state bundles ? t

@Popper: I am not sure to which other gay torrent site you refer: gay-torrents.net allows to show the uploader name if he wishes, but defaults to hide it at upload gay-torrents.org allows to hide the uploader name, but Extra User can spy at initial seeding who seeds it ourgtn.org always show the uploader name It is to note that gay-torrent.net and gaytor.rent hide as well the peer list, which can be consulted by Extra User on gay-torrents.org. i was referring to gay-torrents.net - i often identify certain uploads by uploader name & their torrent info page style / i also use OGTN …...

That's a very thoughtful and thought-provoking answer.  Thanks

@bjk1961: …. As for my motivations, there are only two:  ratio and fairness. I consider ratio to be currency just like cash.  When I upload a lgbt themed film, I earn currency.  I can then go to the lgbt-themed-movie store and purchase downloads.  This lgbt-themed-movie store promises all non-porn material must have LGBTQ THEMED CONTENT (Plot / Characters) or involve VOYEURISM of the ADULT MALE PHYSIQUE . Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay characters are insufficient to meet this requirement.  When I open my purchases and find one is not lgbt themed as promised, I feel cheated.  To prevent others (including GTRU) from feeling/being cheated, I report the movies that fail the "lgbt characters and plot" test.  That's it. As for fairness, I do not believe it is fair for someone to earn ratio by uploading inferior goods and passing them off as lgbt-themed-movies.  That is unfair to everyone who scours the internet and other sources for quality lgbt-themed-movie.  The most insipid are those with "homosexual overtones", as any film with two men as the major characters could fall under this cheap umbrella. … Not specific to LGBTQ Themed Movies, there above expressed concern should be partly addressed by the upcoming change of the Uploading Rules: "11. Any information, e.g. the title, categories, pictures and description must correctly represent the content of the files shared with the torrent and avoid misleading members about the content. This applies as well to additions, votes or comments made by other members than the original uploader. In doubt, rather than providing wrong information, omit it. …" I agree that the definition of what makes a LGBTQ Themed Movies is rather good as result of a fine-tuning over the years. There is no reason to touch that, now. Remains the how to handle cases of reports, where it isn't evident that a movie got "enough" of LGBTQ Theme to fit into that rules or not. The difficulty is to find / define objective verifiable criteria for such a decision, instead of depending on the moderators gut feeling. Something for what I've not yet found a solution ...

Both your and bjk's suggestions have their merits, I'm not sure you're going to manage to reach/satisfy everyone. Perhaps a compromise would be: English |subs: French (soft) German (hard)| French |subs: Tagalog (hard) | If downloaders can't understand any of the suggestions, perhaps they should not be downloading foreign movies :giggle: And there is absolutely no need to put the alternative languages in both English and the native language - even I can understand one or the other And there is always the comment box if people have a query… OK, that's taking things too far
