Unknown pic format.jpg

Please upload only BIG Pictures in GOOD quality!
(many file types supported like .bmp .psd .jpg .tif etc. Uploaded Files will be automatically resized by the System.)

It just started today and I normally used [jpeg] type w/c I'm aware of ...

I noticed there was a new Gaytor upload utility
https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/65942/software-release-gaytor-rent-upload-utility

but could not get it working.

what is nerve-racking with the GTM is that you have to select image by image, and not a batch of pictures at the same time. I hope they will fix that too one day ๐Ÿ™‚

Another wild guesss is that the site upload function seems to be working incorrectly, with images and torrents.

  1. It messes up image uploads so the backend can't process it (getting "Unknown format")

  2. It messes up torrent uploads so all we get is a 0-byte file so they are useless :

Hope it gets fixed soon ๐Ÿ™‚

I wish there had been a warning / post this morning.
I have tried and tried and tried to upload the same torrent for one hour, asking myself "what did I do wrong????" - changing the names of the files, checking if there was no unauthorized character (like !, ?, รฉ, รจ, ร , etc).
pfffffff ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

thank you Peter.
but why are there new uploads ? (mind you, very very few, not as many as usual at this time of day) - that I can't explain... ๐Ÿ™‚

It doesn't look like it's really related to images as the torrent is 0 bytes (when it finally uploaded).

Maybe the server HDD is full? Just a wild guess.

I haven't been able to upload anything for 6 hours.
No images. Torrent size : 0 kb
What I don't understand is that I see new uploads posted, with pictures.
No answer from the Helpdesk.

As for other file formats I have also experienced positively the upload on gaytor.rent of files with extension .heic (which is Apple renaming for .heif).

While JPEG algorithm is lossy, .heif can be set to encode losslessly, as for .png (while producing smaller files than .png).
Also, .png has a nice advantage over the former formats: it can preserve transparency. A feature which is however useless on gaytor.rent since every uploaded image is automatically converted to .jpg (and transparency โ†’ whiteโ€ฆ).

JPEG images group together the following filename extensions:

.jpg
.jpeg
.jpe
.jif
.jfif
.jfi

PNG is short for Portable Network Graphic

renaming (.) filename extension will result invalid or corrupted ...

jpg and png are both accepted as long it's not oversized and exceeds byte size ...

I think they are all the same.

Seems like gifs are mainly just for animated pics and microsoft's BMP files are obsolete.

The new standard seems to be PNG.

I bet your JFIF problem could have been fixed by just renaming your files to JPG (or even PNG).

I was finally able to finish uploading pictures and post the torrent last night, and was rejoicing that the problem seemed to be over. Then I went to download my newly-posted torrent..... A zero-length torrent file that was useless. I deleted the torrent immediately.

Judging from the dearth of torrents posted overnight, and from the results of a test case this morning, the problem is still there. It would be nice to get an acknowledgement from the site admins that they know about the problem.

I guess there's no uploading right now - images report bad format and newly uploaded .torrents won't download in a usable format.

Apparently you can upload a torrent without pics (I've never tried it), so it will let you get that far, but the actual .torrent file on the site for each of these uploads is 0 bytes, so an invalid .torrent file, and I don't think the edit function on upload pages allows you to change or reupload the .torrent file which means these attempted uploads will die. It seems the site isn't allowing storage of anything, even something as tiny as a .torrent file.

I tried some images that I had successfully uploaded earlier today and it rejected them. The fact that almost nothing has been added in the past several hours indicates that it's site-wide and not restricted to just a subset of users.

We're just going to have to wait for an admin to give us an update. Or for the problem to go away on its own.

Tried both jpg and png and got the same error. Very frustrating as my slow laptop just spent an entire day encoding the file I want to upload.

So, intermittent, but definitely more failure than success. After the long tracker error issue the other day, this is getting pretty frustrating.

Yup, although it appears to be intermittent. I was able to do one upload, then a short time later, I was blocked.

Judging from the lack of traffic on the site, it looks as though it's broken far more than it's working.
