Discussions pertaining to the longevity of CH accessibility

You share the same computer, 3xTripleXXX? Well, when their hormones kick in, don't be surprised if they find their way into your "hidden" porn stash.

PS: The other account can be called BACKUP, and used for maintenance purposes.

Nah, they don't share often. The youngest has my laptop as his regular machine, but when I need it to work out of the house, he borrows my desktop. And sometimes they have friends over, and they'll borrow mine or my wife's to play networked games. I've blocked off all my adult stuff with user security, so unless they get on the machine with my user, they're not finding anything. :) And since my boys are both teenagers, I'm sure their hormones are going full speed already, but I leave them to their privacy hehe.

User account security stops access while the configured system is online. If they learn to boot the machine with anything else all files will be laid bare.

I can see it already...

Hey Dude! Check that! My dad is actually 3xTripleXXX !!!

PS: Sorry for the thread highjack.

That's true, but I'm not too worried about it. The kids are perfectly happy to play on their own machines, and it's not like teens have to look for parents' folders or hide magazines under the bed anymore to see porn. I have no doubt they've both made their visits to PH and other places by this point. As long as they're well adjusted and happy, that's far from my biggest worry. :) There's no sign that they have any interest in breaking into my machine. The account security primarily prevents them from finding those folders and drives accidentally, something I'm pretty sure they're just as happy to not know about as I am for them not knowing about them. Not a lot of kids want to think of their parents as sexual beings anyway. ;)

Hah! Here's hoping it won't come to that. But maybe then my oldest will finally take my advice about how to do things in Premiere.

I've been thinking about something to do as a result of doing the Bastati Collection....as I do have the hard drive space to get all of book_guys's files on my computer. As a result of what I have currently experienced through downloading torrents it should be possible to basically move the files to a torrent version, I would just have to maybe see about staggering the re-release so then my client doesn't go pop nor my internet. Then all that needs to be done is make new zones every....year or few months (whenever 50GB's worth of stuff is release on here) and torrent that.
As a result we could keep this stuff alive since (when I used Utorrent) I could select parts of the torrent to download and it would still seed afterwards. My only question is: how interested are people in this? As this is me just saying this thought as it has come to myself but I know that roughly it would take me buying extra MEGA bandwith or spending probably 2-3 months of constant downloading to setup entire thing. Then people have to commit to seeding otherwise the torrents will die out quickly since my Bastati Collection has already dropped to 6 people constantly seeding it although rarely is someone downloading it. I am also meaning this to be part of a solution to the issue since there hasn't been much said about this for a while and I don't know how the discord thing worked out.

PS sorry for the slight resurection but I feel strongly about make this known since I didn't see it mentioned as a good or bad option to do. I do know about janmb's post pinned to the top of this entire section however that has been dead as a thread for quite a while and didn't seem to get big enough in following maybe for it to be fully organized and setup more.

Amother solution is to have password protected archives named:1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then have a Index file with the name of the archive and it's contents.

1 - Cock Hero 1
2 - Cock Hero 2
Etc.

This way, we can even use mega as they cannot access the files so they don't know that it's porn.

The downside is that you have to download the file and unrar it.

Nothing is 100% safe. Having a download link and a password is enough to have a file taken down. And a dozen complaints of files in the same account may have this account closed. This happened to a few of bookguy's libraries, sadly.

[book_guy]

I'm glad this discussion is continuing (implied" "bump") and I'm kinda sorry it's necessary. Watching my (almost former) collection trickle away is like watching a flood -- seeing disaster coming in slow motion.

I have to admit, I just can't figure Mega out. I found a few points where Mega indicates that low-volume memberships may be removed for lack of activity, and this is really the only hint at possible cause. But I think it's probably not the case for any of my (many) memberships (each "zone" of mine is an entirely separate Mega membership, based on a different email address, FYI) since (a) I visit each of them regularly, and (b) it's highly likely that OTHER people were visiting each of them often, too, and furthermore (c) you'd think Mega would TELL you before taking action like that, no? So I'm not happy with the low-activity excuse. Rather, I suspect Mega also removes related memberships which they suspect of being owned all by one person (I could manage the contents of all my Mega memberships through just one of them, a "master" log-in, but establishing that one membership as "master" had the unfortunate side-effect of informing Mega that all the subordinate memberships were indeed related to one another and to the master). Oh, did I mention, I'm not a paid Mega member. All my Mega memberships are of the free variety. I suspect that money would solve some of these hassles (not all; I don't trust Mega that much). I'm personally not willing to engage in monetary transactions because of (a) net anonymity and (b) cost and (c) distrusting Mega in the first place. If they treat me like this with their free trials, why would I think their paid service would be any better. The whole point of a free trial is to find out whether you want to pay, and they've done a good job of letting me know that I don't want to pay.

Anyway ... so much on Mega ... and, failing Mega ... we nevertheless do need to keep stuff available. Keeping stuff available, in turn, needs to be discussed in terms of both (1) defining what we mean by "available" and also (2) deciding where when how and what site to do that.

One potential method would be a private porn torrent tracker. I've long been a member and regular user of Empornium, so that would be simplest for me, but other Milovana members might want other arrangements. I'm happy to defer to group consensus, I claim no seniority or authority in the matter, I was just the schlepp who bothered for a while to try to put things together and now I'm just an average rank-and-file wanker like the rest of you.

Despite lack of any standing relative to anyone else, I can, nevertheless, generally speak in an informed manner about Empornium. Right now at Empornium, a very large percentage (probably in the 90s) of all past cock-hero productions are available for torrent download. I caution!, though, that you can't just "download what you want" at any private torrent tracker, since downloading will detrimentally increase your ratio (downloads-divided-by-uploads), which you're supposed to keep low. So, if Empornium (or, pretty much any other private porn torrent tracker) becomes a go-to method for keeping the CH collection, something needs to be done about that. It's necessary to forewarn new members, to reduce the detrimental impact of downloads, and to thereby keep the collection "available" (see above). One thing that can be done is to follow Emp's method of labeling a download as a "freeleech." This means anyone can download it without the sum total of downloaded data detrimentally affecting a user's ratio (you may already know all of this), but labeling something a "freeleech" can't be done with total impunity, for Empornium (or any other tracker) will impose costs to someone somewhere on the basis of some other type of mathematics elsewhere in their system. We'd want (IMO) some method which, in general, makes all CH videos "free" to new recruits and to existing Milovana members, not a method which demands a high degree of either initiation or commitment. So, although private torrent trackers may have some advantages and could be a viable solution, the cost per download may be enough of a disadvantage that they turn out to be an inadequate solution.

Well, there ya have it, state of the current art, patent pending, talk amongst yourselves.

[Ratattack15]

Book_guy that is reletively what I was suggesting though I feel that if we were to see to putting on Empornium then I would advocate for one on Milovana since Empornium is members only and you have kept your files open to all this entire time. I also do feel the same about doing a warning or a "freeleach" for the Empornium torrent if it were to go ahead.
I wish in a way I could do a little poll to see about the "will" of the people to see how many stand with this while not having anything to say or an account (to avoid spam and rehashing). As once I knew that there was a good "will" force of people behind the idea I would start working on it as I can do so through one of the two ways I stated before.

[Ratattack15]

So I have now downloaded all of Book_Guy's Archives that are currently surviving which went a lot faster than I thought due to finding a little MEGA work around of it's limits. Though I do want to try seeing about restoring the lost parts....

Anyway going forward with what I have at least I was thinking of continuing what was started where Book_Guy left off with maybe having a section with about 50gb's of videos in it and putting up a torrent of each section. Though that is if 50gb's of videos are put out constantly enough so that way there is at least a month between each new section but not more than like 3 months.
There's a big but though with doing this as I know that I can't do this myself due to having a lot of time currently due to the stuff going on so I would like to request that people assist me in doing it. All that I would be needing is simply help with getting the videos together and aim to not miss any that are uploaded on Milovana.

I have been thinking about how to possibly use Empornium with this however I am struggling currently since it has a few rules which make me hesitant as I am still learning there. So I would rather not take a risk on there yet until I have learnt more and understood things better.

Anyway thoughts on this and anyone maybe willing to help?

[vanCoochee]

As book_guy suggests, maybe too many files/much activity on a free account is bad ...
here my 2cents:

Idea A: Cheap and Lightweight (but probably short-lived)
The producer herself maintains the downloadability

Idea B: Secure and Efficient (but probably unfundable)
Milovana hosts the releases


... Anyway, the way things currently are, i find there is a lot of CHs, RG(B)s, PMVs, many of which are available somewhere.
To find new material seems to be no issue (torrents, pornhub/mega links in the forum).
Many old releases (2011-2016 as of now) may only reside on fortunate individual's hard drives, as the links go to extinct hosters or accounts — isn't that the only real problem today? ... and is that a problem?

[masperturbator]

Milovana hosts the releases

That's what cockhero.info and its like are for. Good enough that Milovana gets away with us publishing here.

The producer herself maintains the downloadability

That's why I don't upload to Mega anymore. The torrents are healthier that way.

the hard drive space to get all of book_guys's files on my computer.

What's the total size of the collection so far?

[Ratattack15]

What's the total size of the collection so far?

253 GB which is just over half of what Book_Guy had in the collection at it's height (I have G to M zones). If we were to look at bringing it up to date with what is on Milovana then I wouldn't be surprised if it gets 500 GB I don't think it will end up being much more than 750 GB in total. If including outside of Milovana then 1.5 TB maybe 2 TB max because there is a lot of unknowns out there with poor upload quality or very old.

Only one person needs it all on their computer while everyone downloads it all but delete those they really hate while continueing to seed the torrent so it stays up. As currently I know that I can host it if it gets to 500 GB easily for a good long while (year 1-2 maybe more) but upload speeds will be horrible until a good swarm gets up and stays up.


In regards to vanCoochee I consider it a problem that they are vanishing as I nearly didn't get the Bastati Collection together and I really wanted to see all that Bastati made which others clearly did as well by it gaining a fair few downloads. However I hope to keep it up and running now with the help of some Milovana'ians seeding it with the torrent being on here but possible to share elsewhere if something (touch wood) does happen to Milovana.

I suspect that the Cock Hero collection is currently at 2 Tb. Lots of stuff produced after Book Guy's collection started to erode some time ago. And you can easily reach this amount of storage with productions over RF18 mp4 quality ratio.

<sidenote>
It's not because a Cock Hero production is old that it needs to be deleted, flushed out of the collection. Don't pull a CORONA-CH on us, Please!!! #BlackHumor
