From the 1970s through the 1990s, almost all porn was recorded on VHS tape. Even a well preserved master that is converted to digital is restricted in being "poor quality" no matter how well it's done. This is due to the poor quality of VHS recording in general.

Even digitally enhanced remastered copies of VHS recordings look "old" because the original copy was low quality from the start.

Not to mention that magnetic tape (which is what VHS is) degrades over time, even in the best of environments. Porn studios weren't really known for keeping their masters in the best possible location inside their offices.

From the .rent site, clicking on "Forums" takes you to the forums on .ru and asks for a new login.

Also from the .rent site; when receiving a reseed request for a torrent. Clicking on the link to the torrent, takes you to a 404 error page.

Not sure if y'all already knew about these issues or not.

gaytorrents.net (no dash, different TLD, diffrent site owners, different software running the site AND trackers) has had some recent issues with their DNS - likely a change was made to the server IPs, and there were propagation delays in getting the front-ends (load balancers, etc) aligned - but that's conjecture.

Actually gay-torrents.net does have a dash. No dash sends you to a BADWARE site according to uBlock Origin.

The actual reason gay-torrents.net was down for several hours, was due to a glitch in the host DNS server's ability to auto re-validate the yearly validation. The downtime occurred when the host erroneously parked the domain. That has since been rectified manually. There could still be a few users who are waiting for their ISP's to re-populate their own DNS servers.

Another excellent choice, also by Phillips Norelco, is their model 1100.

And some kind mod did make it FreeLeech. Thanks!

@frostycab This guy is such a pain in the ass. And not the good kind...

This was answered on another site.

Tough Competition (1984)

I have to agree with Arago. Since I started using a seedbox, I haven't gone past 50% of my data cap (a bit less than your cap). AND my seeding is now 24/7 so I'm gaining a much better ratio.

There are lot's of providers and plans for most every budget.

@Playmate The site has been working fine for me for the last 8-ish hours. They were down due to a DNS issue with their host. Perhaps you need to wait for your ISP's chosen DNS server to re-populate. Nothing nefarious going on, just a technical glitch. Should resolve itself for most people in a few hours. For some people it may take a couple days.

Looks like Pinocchio, and he's been telling lots and lots of lies! Oh wait, his nose is what's supposed to grow. My mistake.

@tombrick There is also the option of paying for having your ratio fixed. I'm not sure where the link is to that information. I'm sure if you look for it, you'll find it.

Just a quick note that may help anyone with similar problems. Always stop all your torrents BEFORE you close your client. This helps the tracker better understand what is and isn't actually seeding/leeching. That should solve a lot of problems people are having.

@Kekkaishi said in English Words Pronunciation:

I have some words that I hear sometimes that are pronounced differently. Therefore I'm not sure what is the correct way to pronounce these words.
I will write the word and then the 2 variations phonetically for better understanding

Ideology: E-diology or I-dioloty

Either: E-ther or I-ther

Devisive: di-VI-sive or di-VAI-sive

Beyond: be-Yo-nd or be-O-nd

Resource -> re-So-rce or re-Zo-urce

So which is it?
thanks.

Born and raised in the USA and having lived for a long time in a region of the USA where there is little or no accent, I can offer what I feel is the "common" pronunciation from my experience:

I-dee-ology although I have heard Id-eology (like the psychology word id) spoken frequently, but that may be just a more posh pronunciation.

E-ther and I-ther are both spoken nearly equally. E-ther is probably more commonly used, and I-ther may be a bit more posh.

de-VI-sive

be-Yond

Re-source

.Net is glitching. It's a technical error with the DNS server. I may be up/down/slow until the host gets their shit together.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I would have sent a ticket to the help desk, except there was no link here on the forums at .ru anymore. So I created a post here instead of going to the Torrents page to try and find the Support link.

I did wait after seeing the "News" post on March 8th saying the new site was ready and everything was going to be forwarded to .rent, but these issues remained.

I do understand that the Forums and Torrents are probably at the very least a sub-site of each other. I'm certain that's most likely where the problems are being incurred.

Anyway, now we all know you guys know about these issues. Thanks again.

To add to this tip... Always STOP your torrent(s) before deleting them. This can prevent crashes, errors, locked files, etc.
