I want to know if the site is safe,it is the only site that seems to have a lot of Daz3d things on it. If it is not safe,is there any other site like it?

It's in the title, I'm from Quebec and I'm having a really hard time finding some shows and movies that are from here. I do use prowlarr with all its public torrent sites as well as a couple usenet indexers but no luck. Any help. Would be appreciated.

I used Real-Debrid for a while and it was good, when all the drama was happening about them cracking down on piracy and banning accounts so I just deleted my account, All-Debrid is also not available for me. Are there any good alternatives?

So I'm really spooked. I was just watchting Sex and the City on Flixbaba when I suddenly began to hear screaming from the show. The show started glitching and suddenly there's this black shadowy face on my screen!!! I immediatly turned off my screen and ran to my roommate to show it. Fortunately when I opened it, some part of the weird black face / figure was still there. I closed off Flixbaba and put my ipad in the kitchen.

Edit: when I showed it to my roommate, and some of the figure was still there, I clicked continue playing. After doing that, the stream started reloading and the jumpscare part was gone.

Has anyone had this experience before??

(I'm sorry if my english is bad, it isnt my first language)

Looking to add new sources to my RSS reader and minimise time spent on Reddit in general.

Seems like a lot of the popular tech websites and legacy newspapers cover piracy-related news from time to time but I'm not interested in the unrelated majority of coverage right now

Hey there wanted to ask what are some apps you recommend for reading things like ebooks and comics? Already have one for manga so that's not needed, but wanna change the eBook one I'm using (GP books) and also to start reading comics. Asking for apps for the ability to read offline but things like mihon would also be great!

I have kodi and cinema free which, at least for me, seem to have stopped working. If anyone has any good recommendations let me know (preferably including how to download it if its not in the app store thingy)

Despite having 2gbit fiber at my house, I almost never see my torrents seeding faster than 200mbps combined.

My setup is a bit complicated but pretty much this:

Truenas scale running on a Dell R740

Brocade ICX 6610 with 10g fiber

desktop via SMB, seeding 500 torrents on qbit and another 200 on tixati (in process of migrating)

out through a Unifi UDM pro via 10g uplink, speedtests around 2250mbps

first, some speedtest porn:

next, what my torrent client usually looks like:

https://preview.redd.it/r78hm14fx5ke1.png?width=494&format=png&auto=webp&s=5abbbfdc5fbe99a8b2505401dce72612ae9469fb

and here's my traffic usage for the last month or so:

ubiquiti is doing something weird with the averages here, when zooming in it looks closer to a 200mbps average

Things I've ruled out:

  • speeds from NAS to desktop: Copying a movie from the NAS transfers around 5.7-7.0 gbps.
  • Speeds out to internet: tested the hell out of my connection, the only concerning result was https://testmy.net/upload, which uses small files to test, my result was 280mpbs.
  • Antivirus: adding exceptions to windows defender doubled my peak throughput but did nothing to the seeding torrents.
  • Torrent client: tried tixati, deluge and qbit (individually, and all at once) and no change. still not 100% sure my settings are optimal but maybe 89%
  • Peers: not 100% ruled out, but with 700 torrents seeding, and a mix of public and private trackers, I would really expect somebody to be able to download from me faster than 200 megs.
  • Router config: ports are all forwarded correctly, and all traffic inspection/analysis is turned off
  • SMB: not fully ruled out either, but I started seeding with transmission directly on the NAS and didn't really notice much difference. only tested a few of the most popular ones tho

The one really concerning thing I noticed, and why i've been trying to nail this down, is I uploaded my first torrents to a semi-private tracker the other day, and I expected to saturate my uplink due to people with seedboxes snatching it up off me.

Of the 3 torrents I uploaded, I never saw any get above 1-2mbps. 17 peers downloaded it in the first hour, and I never connected to more than 4 of them.

Is there something big im missing here? Any big seeders want to chime in on what their average speeds look like?

This started a few days ago and I have tried everything under the sun but nothing is working as I still get a DNS error despite everything else working perfectly and I have no other place I can fall back to now as the megathread has no sites like that listed.

Fortunately, most shows we watch on on two of them but Kisscartoon is the go to despite updates being later than usual as a week and a half passed with no updates. Any ideas or do I hope it fixes itself?

EDIT: It turns out it was a shield that was enabled on my router by Spectrum that was causing the block and not anything I did. It's a useless thing for me as I have Comodo's firewall already and Avast as my primary anti-virus plus Brave's shields and uBO. I shut it off and everything worked as it's supposed to.

Hello,

I was using Mac Torrents (torrentmac),which is on the Megathread, looking for a software called Gigapixel AI (Specifically "Topaz Gigapixel AI 8.1.1", and after downloading the file, it gave me a UNIX executable that triggered 8 Antiviruses on VirusTotal, including Sophos.

The idiot that I am assumed it to be false positives since the megathread said the site was good, and it isn't community driven AFAIK. So I ran the executable, and i heard probably 50 file sounds as if a lot of files were moved somewhere.

I sat around for maybe 20 minutes searching for where any of these files went, or what it even did, and of course the file never actually gave me the software I was looking for.

I ran a scan with Malwarebytes and Sophos with zero results, and I checked through my connections history and file processes, launch apps, unusual user accounts, app privilege settings, an a few other random things to see if there was anything.

I cant tell if this is just a shitty installer that broke, or if it was some sort of quick in and out data scraper. Is anyone able to check that file out or is able to vouch for torrentmac?

We speak multiple languages in my household and I wanted to know if there's any elegant way to rip a D+ (or any other service) movie or show in multiple languages for plex

So I live in Poland, my ISP is Orange. Are they known for giving out torrenting letters? Wanna use stremio but don't know if I have to pay for a VPN or not.

Ahoy, mateys! I'm wondering if there is an alternative to the Remote Torrent Adder Chrome extension. I understand it may no longer be supported soon, and I can't get it to work via HTTPS to connect to my remote seedbox. Also open to it not exactly being a Chrome extension, but maybe some kind of Dockerized app. I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

So last night my server got banned for copyright infringement. I'm not sure if it was because I stream UFC events to my friends or using Stremio to watch movies with my family members or because the other day i ripped a ESPN Canada vs USA fight video from X and posted it. Maybe all of the above lmao. Anyway my family lives in 4 different states so we spend time together watchin movies or shows on Discord but now I guess they invaded our privacy and banned the server. I wanted to know if anyone has ever used any Modded Discord clients to stream and if they have any suggestions or what not. In particular i wanted to know if anyone has used Legcord and if Discord can still track what movie i am screen sharing with family members and will my new server get banned again.

I was looking for a simple text to speech program but literally all of them require subscription or an account. Any way to get past subscription? If not, could anyone recommend free ones?

Free game streams on web pages are great, but they have two big issues: Ads, and no TV compatibility. I can block ads fine with a pi-hole on my local network, but outside of it mobile ad blockers seem to be quite difficult to find. I found a program called spotyfin that essentially scans for games and creates an M3U tuner and xml file for jellyfin to use.

Unfortunately, it does not work. It discovers the games alright, but it generates empty output files. After using my preliminary programming knowledge to dig into the source code, it seems like the website it is trying to pull the m3u links from sportscentral.io, which no longer exists. I attempted to replace the link with streameast in the source code, but I got a different error that I was unable to diagnose because I do not understand exactly how it is extracting the m3u links.

I would be interested to see if anybody knows of any alternative programs or how to fix sportyfin.

Note: Sportyfin is no longer maintained by its original author.

I downloaded Cascadeur from gfxdomain and vfxmed and they both gave me this same patcher. Is this a virus? Or a false positive? I've never had so many detections but I just feel like it would be weird for 2 different sites to have a virus patcher.

I use steam and proton to play pirated games on linux, i install some game from fitgirl/dodi or other, then use "add non-steam games" in steam, so far i haven't had many problems, but what i'm concerned about is the fact that i might not benefit from some bugfixes.

With each new version of Proton, I see that there are several game-specific bug fixes and performance improvements; but when I play non-Steam games, will Proton be able to detect what game I'm playing and apply the game-specific patches, or am I stuck with the "general" Proton settings, which may lead to some issues.

Can someone with experience in Linux game piracy answer me please?

I've been in search of a place to download separate audio tracks for movies (multiple languages). I've found literally 0 in weeks but many topics of people asking for a way to download those separate audio tracks.

I did find some other trackers in other languages (non-english) where users literally upload only the audio track of a movie (that's the purpose of the site/tracker).

I'm curious, why is here none universal tracker for this? Like one to upload multiple languages.

Like a big online archive for (movie) audios. Is there any demand for this? Does anyone know if there is such a place to download multiple audio tracks?

So for a while now i have been using the website Flixator to find movies I can’t find on any of my streaming platforms. For a while i felt like it was very safe but as of late they have been redirecting me to very shady websites whenever I try to click anything on their site. It’s a shame because I really got used to the layout of that site. Can someone here please tell me some safe alternatives to Flixator that have a similar layout to it?
