Vanishing torrents ...
-
@Rotron Yeah, someone is definitely up in this crib, alright. It's close to Christmas time, and last Christmas, the owner et al., deleted or got rid of a ton of online users who either hadn't:
- Hadn't logged in to the site for a considerable amount of time.
- Members whose ratio was less than 1.0 or who hadn't uploaded or downloaded anything at all.
It's Christmas cleaning time, and in my humble opinion, it's time to keep this by invitation only. I may ward off the headache. Ultimately, it's up to them of course.
By God, even a Ho Desert Knights torrent was taken down, and it was a freeleech and had been originally uploaded several years ago.
Soapbubble ... POP!
-
Lol i just witnessed one of the daily wipes after sorting through which I wanted, so I can safely confirm they are being FAR more aggressive than even the Wrestling site take down requests, which is NUTS.
-
I wonder if they have setup an RSS feed to make it easier for them find and report torrents?? I agree, we need to make the site private and by invitation only.
-
@djsoapbubble Well, let's see if there's gonna be one this holiday season. It's a great gift for those who contribute for the good of the site.
-
This site already is private and sign ups aren't open lol; the site is indexed by Google, so if you search for some more niche OF creators and they have (or had) a torrent uploaded, you'll find it on google, usually pretty high too. To my knowledge there absolutely are ways to make it so Google can't do that. What's also interesting is that googling and finding removed content was my first time actually seeing the DMCA category icon lol.
The reporter(s) likely have a membership.
It's not hard to find people swapping invites to this and other torrent sites. -
I honestly wish I understood their goal because by the time people in the know enough to do direct rips with python scripts or anything else come in, people have already done more direct rips and uploaded to streaming sites, so its not as if they are stopping the content from being spread.
-
I hope that Christmas miracle is actually coming because it's getting as bad as last year at this rate. Everything is getting terminated not only FS stuff. Old studio torrents from like 2016, 2015, 2014 that are reposted and are able to be freeleched are also getting deleted. You can't upload anything new and old stuff is also getting terminated(after freelech timer is over). Soon the site will become hollow. No one is sending a copyright claim on a studio porn that is on every website to view online anyway (and some of those studios no longer exist). If this goes on, the site sadly will be on a self-destruct mode in no time
-
@Rotron this happened to me! and then someone else is seeding the torrent but not getting it taken down...
-
@knoxguy89 Oh? That's new. Most probable is that the uploader is not aware that there was already the same title uploaded and got removed. Keep tabs on it and give us an update if it ever got removed too. Thanks!
-
To be honest, what can also happen is, it gets uploaded here, a few people snatched, it gets taken down, it gets uploaded to another torrent or site to share files, someone comes back here and sees its not up so tries to get ratio.
Since we know there's an issue with these excessive takedowns that aren't about whats IN the file, just that it is being uploaded, you aren't necessarily doing anything wrong in the upload, just that as this thread is describing there are excessive takedowns with incredibly inconsistent timing and inconsistent reporting.
-
@krad3434 just annoying that it hit like 4 of my recent torrents
-
@krad3434 said in Vanishing torrents ...:
excessive takedowns with ... inconsistent reporting.
Inconsistent reporting is the key. I think the site takes down all and only those torrents that are claimed by copyright owners. There's at least one torrent on this site from a studio that is very diligent about asking for takedowns, but the studio hasn't found that torrent because the studio name isn't mentioned anywhere in the title, description, or file names. (No, I'm not going to identify the torrent here.) If there's no takedown request on that torrent, it will very likely stay posted.
-
Has anyone else had freeleech torrents disappearing right in front of their eyes? When browsing the freeleech torrents, the first few torrents I click on disappear when I try to download the torrent file. Today that included "BigDaddy.com - Strong Men Fucking" and "HAR - Stephen Harte and Tonny DaRimma." When I refreshed the search, the number of freeleech torrents under my search filters dropped from 312 to 277. I've never had this happen before.
-
@roto13 People in thread are saying some older files are being taken down when bumped for freeleech but keep in mind, some of those may be simply having expiring free leech times. Try to browse by free leech time remaining to see which come and go from it.
-
@eobox91103
There are PLENTY of studios that are very on top of the removal of their files, the issue is, those are known and fairly consistent. I can think of at least one per non fansite category that is very much grab if you see it, on occasion the uploader will often warn as much in the description.A key thing is, it's only during times like now with the excessive takedowns these are identified and removed within the hour. Fish and Chips lads (using a coded name lol) is one of the notoriously aggressive sites and even their things don't get taken down at this speed.
-
@krad3434 Nah, these are torrents with lots of time left on Freeleech. It's also weird for 35 torrents to expire from Freeleech over the course of a few minutes. These torrents are also just disappearing from the site entirely, not just from Freeleech. I looked for them.
-
Yeah this definitely sucks and seems worse than last year because not only are new things being snatched but some hard to find things are now being removed because someones being allowed to go on a takedown joyride.
-
I guess our friend does not discriminate. Someone uploaded straight content from an OF account this morning and that was eventually removed. Looks like the OP is seeding but it's not downloading for me unfortunately
-
For what it's worth, the freeleech torrents are particularly vulnerable. Huge clumps of them vanish, and have been for weeks. They're not DMCA takedowns, because they cover every possible category (and things that are regularly removed for DMCA are often left standing). It's almost like some infiltrator from another site has been made an admin here, and he's sabotaging the site. Just look at this list of deleted freeleech torrents, all set for freeleech to expire on 10 December, which is the only thing they had in common. The ones in green are the only ones that survived.
-
@turlough That is indeed a lot. Are all these random and old torrents?
