im planning go post all my OnlyFans content to https://www.gay-torrents.net/ and https://gay-torrents.org/
its sad that ive had 10 torrents taken down from DCMA's in the last 24 hours. There is probably someone in the site doing this. ive also noticed strange behavior with the search functionality.
All Austin Wolf videos are completely nuked.
I've noticed it too, I posted in another thread. It's frustrating that the torrent got deleted while you were in the middle of downloading, it wasted my time and fucked my ratio. The other day, I was downloading a torrent that had 40ish files, I only got to download nearly half, but not a single video was complete, so I can't even watch any of it. -
idk, I uploaded a few onlyfans content packs on a PUBLIC gay tracker and they were wildly popular and havent been taken down for weeks. Surprising me theyre being taken down here

The fact is, when a DMCA request is made, it has to be taken down... if you post them where there are LOTS of OTHER OF posts, yeah, they're going to get noticed more!
It seems to me, OF is targeting us for the same reason Jesse James once said he robbed banks (that's where they keep the money!)...
In other words - they're targeting us because there is SO MUCH content here...
But guys, remember that OF is there for the MODELS to MAKE MONEY... sharing it here is NOT making them any money...
I'm all for sharing porn - but I'm also all for these models making a fair amount of money for their efforts... those two things are in conflict here, and the DMCA comes down in favor of the models...

I re-upped the torrents but ommitted "OF" & "OnlyFans" & "Only Fans", which makes me believe that they have built a google scrapper to automatically nuke anything that appears with "GayTorrents OF" or "GayTorrents OnlyFans"
Things will get by the bot of course, but that is just my guess.
I'll continue to upload, but omit the OF tag from now on.

This really makes me wonder why my post has been deleted too!
I am new to the site, but not new to torrenting as I am a member for over 10 years of another gay torrenting site. My first post got deleted without any reason. I just needed help asking about a message that the trackers section is showing me. Instead, my message without any clear reason was deleted by a moderator!Now I see that they are taking down torrents too. So I guess after all this is not the friendly place that I thought it will be. If I had a problem on the other gay torrent site, my problem would have been assisted and resolved by now. Such a shame!

In MOST cases (that is: in my experience) when a torrent has been taken down I have received a note. (Duplicate, DMCA, or whatever)

Everyone: Can a mod just give further insight into why this might be happening.
@bi4smooth : WHY NOT JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY? I'M THE MOD NOW. WHY YOU ASKING ALL THESE QUESTION? SHUT UP.

DMCA take downs are not discretionary. Nor are they something that needs to be "explained"...
What SHOULD happen is that you should stop complaining about them and just enjoy the FREE PORN you still have access to!

For what it's worth: FraternityX, SketchySex, and SlamRush vids (none of which are my taste) are also often very short-lived on here... except for when the uploaders are careful about labeling them... <hint hint>

So from my uploading tests it seems that the person issuing the DCMAs is a member of GayTorrent.ru.
I believe this because I reuploaded the torrents with just the performers name instead of tagging with "OnlyFans" "Only Fans" or "OF" and the torrents still were removed. I also uploaded them under different categories "Fan Sites", "Ameture" and "Jocks" and they were still removed.
I would recommend uploading to other trackers if you want your torrents to live.
-
@2econdspark Thanks I've noticed the deletions too. It really sucks that there is such an aggressive takedown of these here. Studio uploads even stay up for longer.
I hope if one account is issuing this many dmcas they get banned. I've even seen some torrents get 1 star ratings pretty much as they have been uploaded.

Off topic, I know - but I've wondered at that too... some torrents virtually NEVER get a "star" rating, and others seem to have them even before they've been leeched!
Duplicate accounts are banned - but someone gaming the system? I don't know! A curiosity to be sure!

@amphboy - what public tracker did you use? Thanks!
-
I just wish the OPs would keep seeding until everyone has finished downloading them.
-
@2econdspark Do you have any spare invites for gay-torrents.org?
-
Im starting to think it may be time to get rid of fansites as a category and for people not to label torrents with anything besides the name of the stars for fansites. It's getting awful.
-
@krad3434 honestly I just try to download as much of the big Onlyfans accounts I can get before I gets taken down. I don’t upload anymore. And I leave my torrent running 24/7 on one of my spare laptops to get seed points.

Lmao you really went off didn't you?
First of all, I'm not demanding anything. I'm not complaining about "the volume of content being uploaded by users". I'm very aware that this is illegal sharing and so are you and guess what, we are both still here. Actually, we are both still here since 2008. I've been contributing with a lot of content here and helping users with their requests since then without expectations.
As I said, if users were choosing to upload fewer files I wouldn't be complaining at all. This is not what this is about and we both know it, so don't try to make it sound like I'm complaining because there aren't 'enough' torrents being posted.
I'm just saying that me, as well as other users, would LIKE TO KNOW why every single file is being deleted, that's all. I was very polite both times I messaged the admins. The only one being agressive and with an attitude for no reason here is you. There's just no need for that.
Anyway, I won't message you anymore. This is not why I created this thread. I'm only going to say that in MY opinion I think it would be fair for the admins to let us know why this is happening. Specially to avoid waste of time to download and upload files that are ALL gonna be removed in a few hours. This is MY opinion. Feel free to not agree with me but don't tell me what I should or shouldn't say. If you can have your opinion on rhat matter, well... So can I.
My apologies if I "went off" on you - but it annoys me when people complain about things they're getting for free. If you honestly want the content that isn't here, pay for it! It's the "sense of entitlement" that riles me - and that comes from my job... sorry if it rubbed off here.
What I was trying to make clear is that the STAFF here aren't taking down videos because they don't like them, or the uploaders, or anything else - with the exception of uploaded content that is barred (like duplicates, and illegal stuff [pedo, snuff, etc. - read the rules yourself])... in fact, you likely can't see it, but there are categories for straight porn here, as well as (nasty to me) scat!
This place goes OUT OF THEIR WAY to allow almost
anything!@raphjd - a site administrator - confirmed above that the suspicions aired here from the start were correct... the removals are because of DMCA takedown requests.
An argument could be made that, "hey, we know we're "stealing" content here, why not ignore the DMCA requests?" - But the site advertises that copyright holders can request, and they will comply, with valid DMCA takedown requests! They own the site, they make the rules!
Also, as has been pointed out already as well: while the current "fad" seems to be targeting the OF content, they are far from the only content pulled. I have uploaded probablty 2-3 TB of Helix and NextDoor content (my collections there are nearly complete), and another 4-5TB of Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher content (my collections there ARE complete) - and because I post in "collections", they usually get DMCA'd after a month or 2...
But, I get a notice in my mailbox that the content was removed for a DMCA complaint. Also, there's no penalty on here for losing an upload due to a DMCA complaint.
If you are an uploader of OF content and your posts are disappearing -- WITHOUT a note from the staff as to WHY it's gone, -- open a helpdesk ticket! 100% of my uploads that have been taken down in the past have been explained to me why they were removed.
IMHO, the ONLY people due an explanation for removed content are the uploaders themselves. (And in my experience, the staff has always done that for me.)

Hi guys,
I don't normally post or visit the forums, so a hello to everyone. I can only speak to my own experiences co-operating a gay public forum, which gets hit with DMCA Notifications every day.
-
Websites are required to comply with valid DMCA Notifications. Website owners that don't comply will not be protected by safe harbor laws, opening them up to much more severe liability.
-
Part of the popularity of GTRU is that much of its torrents are publicly available, which is a double-edged sword. If something is public on Google, that means the torrents can be found by porn fiends AND automated bots.
-
GTRU is one of the biggest gay porn torrent (maybe the largest?). If OnlyFans or performers or their paid DMCA representatives were to repeatedly infringing sites, this would be it.
-
I'm not personally privy to the software behind the automated monitoring methods, but they likely utilize a combination of simple text and image scanning. Some basic obfuscation methods will usually beat the monitoring:
- Word obfuscation: R3n0 G01d vs Reno Gold
- Image obfuscation: flip or rotate the image
Some other thoughts:
- There are categories that are more high-risk for copyright violations than others (like Fansites). I don't know if the torrent site is capable of it, but maybe the site could make certain categories (like Fansites) private and only viewable by members?
- I know some of the uploaders spend a lot of time and effort to put together your torrents. It really is appreciated by the community - thank you!!
