Got a choice of two versions of the same movie, both roughly the same file size (~21GB). Both 4K HDR. Two versions are:

• WebDL, E-AC3 Atmos, video bitrate 24Mb/s
• UHD Rip, TrueHD Atmos, video bitrate 19.7Mb/s

Which would you prefer?

I'm starting college in a few months and I really need to save money. I need to know where I can find enough information to get me through College.

I'll be the first person in my family that will be going to college, so I really need to make this count.

Basically I want to set up local cable tv, so that it streams certain shows at certain times, has a channel guide, etc. Probably only a few channels like Nickelodeon shows, Seinfeld 24/7, etc. is there something like that around? Thanks!

Could I buy a base game and pirate dlcs? For example I've been wanting to try Disney Dreamlight Vallet and may buy it so I can get the online functionality, but I don't really feel like doubling the damn price to get the dlcs. Is it possible to buy the base game and pirate the dlcs?

I used to be able to use most free streaming sites on the PS4 browser easily, but now, the page loads but the video doesn't. I think this happened after a software update. Anyone else have the same issue? Anyone know a fix for it?

The original post: /r/piracy by /u/BlkGTO on 2025-01-06 23:53:26.

I have a LG C1 with web OS and have been using the site for years. The site still loads but when I click play an x comes up and says “Seeing this message many times means your Anti Virus or Internet Provider censored our stream.”

There was no recent system update for the tv and it still works on my phone using WiFi. I was watching a movie yesterday and went to finish it today and can’t.

Any ideas?

• Even if you're going to buy it.
• Even if this game is a one in a lifetime game made from the budget of three NATO nations
• Even if the AAA developers are known for their "relaxed" and "gamer friendly" culture
• Even if this game will be one you call off of work for and spend a week playing
• Even if your favorite streamer or internet personality guarantees it's going to rock your socks off

Don't be a sucker like me. I took the bait of buying Alan Wake II only to spend an hour fiddling with the stupid graphics settings only to find out that even though I have the third most powerful Graphics card in the Nvidia lineup, the most modern up to date CPU that it wont run at anything over 60fps ( 30 because I have 1440p). Is there anything that distinguishes this POS from say RE2 or 4? Nope just bullshit lighting and shit no one asked for.

Test these parasite's games out and if you find one single flaw don't buy it.

For the first time, I downloaded smth from steamrip, and the anti virus showed nothing. And I use McAfee which sometimes flags programs even remotely similar to viruses and such. So when McAfee didn't find anything, even after a manual scan, idk why but my dumbass thinks that's suspicious as all the time there is always a 'threat'.... Searched around a bit and found that steamrip is safe, but the posts weren't really recent, so is it actually safe or is it like pirate bay, was safe, yet now is, well, 'gone'.. Thanks

Trying to set up Autocad/Solidworks for someone, both programs known for phoning home and people often getting legal threats.

I do plan to try to whitelist everything through a firewall for them but wondering if a safer/easier option is to just use a VPN like Proton to help with this or if it would be able to identify the legit location/IP even with the VPN on at all time?

Hello,

This started about a year ago, and I just kind of stopped torrenting because I couldn't figure it out then either. I had 0 issues torrenting, and then out of nowhere (maybe there was an update or something) I wasn't able to anymore.

I use Nord VPN and qBittorrent 5.0.3. I can't use magnet links, because it gets stuck at retrieving metadata. I can't use regular torrent links, because it can't find peers (or any information from that). I've even tried downloading something like Linux via a torrent link and it doesn't work in the same way.

Proxy servers are set to none. UPnP/NAT-PMP portforwarding is unchecked. I don't know what I'm missing to be honest because it was working just great before. I've tried different VPNs and different torrent client combinations, and it has the same issue. There seems to be a more fundamental problem that I'm encountering.

Any ideas?

Also, if there is no difference, by what year/decade would you say there is?

According to the onstream site "we provide not only a Torrent server but also other choices well-selected from other sites/services" however when I'm in the app I can't find a way to tell whether a video is using torrent or a stream site or what.

The settings page just has a contact link. Settings within a video only allow you to select resolution.

Note: I'm aware there's better options like stremio etc. and VPNs. I'm trying to put together a completely free setup on an onn box for someone on limited income and not tech-savvy so I'm trying to ensure I don't accidentally set them up with something their ISP will complain about.

I just need a "safe" site, i tried 4download but when i put a file on the Virus total it gave me 62/83 something like that but it was almost all red lmao.

I was searching in a software section if that helps anyhow

not the daily pass ones, but they are available on some translation websites but the ones which require coins to view and will become free after some n days

I know there are websites that let you bypass paywall on news articles but is there something available for Patreon too.

I’m not sure what the difference between torrenting and using a video downloader Firefox add-on is?

I use an Adblock of course and privacy badger but do I need a VPN to use Video Downloadhelper?

Sorry in advance for being ignorant.

Ok, so here's what I use:

Revanced: Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, Yuka

Xmanager: Spotify

Then I have a modded version of Spotify for laptop (can't recall which one if SpotX or the other)

Then I use GenP to be able to put bookmarks myself with Adobe Reader

Then I use 1337x and I have a 4TB external hard drive. Learned here that Qbittorrent is good and I like it honestly.

I don't pirate game simply because I don't have a good enough computer to run much games.

For browsing I use Firefox and UBO and also the Bypass Pay walls Clean extension

I basically removed all ads from my life. The only app that has ads is just Quora. Wish I could pirate that too. Although I vastly prefer Reddit to Quora

Edit:

Forgot to add another important one I use. Zlibrary for my favourite pdfs and books. I have it both on phone and on laptop.

Hi everyone,I've made a 50 minute long video exploring the history of video game piracy from the year 1980 to 2024 — talking about how it started , who were the people behind the cracking , how it got distributed among other pirates and how the devolopers used various methods to stop piracy, and basically all the drama and key events inbetween. I thought this community might find it interesting!

It's my first time making something like this , so would love to hear the feedback.Thanks for watching.
