It was the only way to watch anime with romanian subtitles, as there are no legal services that offer romanian subtitles, not even crunchyroll. The community was also very good, with people dedicated to translating, subbing, encoding and uploading

Their domain anime.kage.ro now redirects to the private tracker animetorrents.ro now. Most (but not all) of the series have been migrated there. A sad day to see the only active fansubbing community from here go away :(

I am just impressed by the idea and execution. Just wow. Too bad he took it too far.

Any tips the best way(s) to watch the upcoming season? I'm also contemplating paying for DAZN (based in the UK)... with a temporary card that I can cancel given all the negative Trustpilot reviews

I know this question already asked a lot but 👇

I downloaded fix for Deep Rock Galactic from online-fix.me . I scanned all the files on Virustotal and everything came clean except Onlinefix.dll

Virustotal results : https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/14232bd5332d950291bc419d3dba5d8794079adfe108a3fd0688af8a01ca5e6b

I know about false positives but 33 Vendors?

What else is everyone using to get music? Other than Soulseek.

After obtaining an injunction and an invasive search and seizure order at Canada's Federal Court, teams from Bell, Rogers, Disney, Paramount, Columbia, and Warner Bros. targeted the alleged operators of IPTV service SmoothStreams at their homes in Canada. The defendants were charged with contempt of court when they failed to comply with the terms of the order. Two years later, the defendants are paying a heavy price and the main case hasn't even started.

I've been using public trackers for the past 20 years, and never had a problem with them. I never got any virus or malware, and almost always found what I was looking for. What I couldn't find through public trackers, I'd find it with soulseek. So I'm wondering what are the actual advantages of using private trackers?

Hi guys! It's been a long while, and I still struggle with Deluge catching brand new releases of movies that just about everyone's downloading.

A bit of background, I have 1Gbps connection, and Deluge in headless mode (that's why I chose Deluge, for headless you get either Deluge or Transmission...AFAIK those are the only two supporting it).

So, whenever my -arr servers catch the latest release of the very latest movie or TV show, Deluge catches it, and faceplants it with a download error immediately. I can either "force check" or "resume". Either way (doesn't matter which), it will error again in a second or two. This struggle continues for a while of resume/error/resume, until it finally starts to download a larger chunk...for it to error again a minute or two later, after downloading several hundred MB. And then another section of constant errors. Finally, it will get stuck at the end at 99%, where it really needs a "force check" to find whatever data was corrupted, redownload that, and finish.

Any idea why this happens? Any way to fix/avoid it? I'm not sure deluge is connecting to fake seeders giving it corrupted data and it fails to catch/fix it. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!

What are the best places to dl FLAC music?

Like really. Now I'm going to say that playing games, listening to music, watching shows/movies and even reading books is a bit of a luxury. It's a quality of life thing. But that doesn't always mean that each of those mediums have to be charged so damn much to even enjoy. Much less, the quality that gets shoveled out anyways with what we've seen.

What pisses me off the most with the entertainment industry, is how they expect you to buy the same things whether it's a different format or on a platform multiple times. Furthermore, they willingly take away shows, movies .etc on a reguar cyclic basis on streaming platforms.

When AnimeSuge went down, I felt a little lost and for once actually considered subscribing to Crunchyroll because AnimeSuge had the 1997 Berserk on there. Guess what? Crunchyroll and no where else had it. So much for the legal alternative, huh? By the way, yes I know of alternative sources so please don't recommend me those thanks.

And this is the thing with this fucking industry as a whole. They honestly have this mentality where if something is not available then it's "too bad, fuck you" or if something is broken or not working then it's just "BUY ANOTHER AT FULL PRICE!" because they look down at people making backups of their copies.

It's like, leave us the fuck alone. If something is not available anymore with absolutely no assured plans to bring it back for re-release and to be available on even streaming platform which leaves us to pirate - let it fucking be. What, are you going to make a shitstorm for people who buy movies and shows while thrifting? Surprised these fuckers haven't gotten to that process yet because of how god damn greedy they are.

ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR August 2024

From the 53.238 scene releases, only 38.115 (72%) of them had file + size information.

They total to: 59.30 TB (62.175.979 MB) in 643 thousand files (642.850).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

I couldn't find any Hebrew subtitles for "Only murders in the building". I tried multiple releases by different release groups (on public torrent trackers) but couldn't find the subtitles I was looking for. I know it exists on OpenSubtitles, but it would be easier to find a release group that also includes subtitles for Hebrew instead of waiting for someone to upload them. I know that the Hebrew subtitles are available on Disney+Hotstar because this is the version in Israel, but I can't find them on releases from it either. Is there any way to get the subtitles without the need of private Israeli torrent trackers?

I used to have an account on the PB many years ago, but my credentials are no good anymore. I'd like to post some movie and TV show dumps somewhere, particularly that'll be indexed by Torrentio and searchable to debrid users, but I'm having trouble finding anywhere with open signups. I'm specifically uploading English media.

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

If youve used Prowlarr, you might have experienced cloudflare blocking access to certain trackers.

There's a docker-based solution called cloudsolverr which automatically bypasses these cloudflare challenges by spinning up a headless chromium browser.

Main issue is it's heavy on resources (I have an rpi4b) and doesn't have an easy native setup (I've not had time to practice with docker stuff yet).

Is there a manual way for me to resolve these cloudflare challenges so I can add the trackers? It's mainly for public shit like 1337x just to fill out my access to TV shows where my other trackers fail or get rate-limited.
