cineby and braflix(rip) were fine but you could only have a very small watchlist at a time

if i added a show or movie to my list, then the earliest one added would be taken off for no reason. god forbid I like more than 20 tv shows and movies and would like to have them all in 1 place.

any alternatives?

I enable the subtitles, the CC bar thing is all filled in, there's a dot next to the language I want, but there are no subtitles on the screen.

So i downloaded some games from a site on the megathread a while ago (direct download), and now my dad is sending me screenshots of the network firewall reporting a 'potentially suspicious activity" coming from russia and singapore through my laptop, and some of the dates match up with the dates that i downloaded these games. There is not really any more information and the firewall also says it could be a false positive, but i just want to ask here if this is something i should worry about or just a regular occurence when downloading these things.

Sorry if this has been asked a 1000 times but who in your opinion are the best uploaders to movies and TV shows, with decent encodes and bitrates? E.g like the QxR team.

Hello Folks,

So I was trying to use www.aivideo. com to create some content. For new users, that website gives 100 free credits, which I can use. So I logged into this site via Chrome and got 100 credits and used them. Same I did on Edge and it worked(Once on both).

But now when I'm trying to make new account, its not giving free credits. I tried Clearing entire browsing data including cookies & caches, Paid VPN(SurfShark), Changing browser.

Nothing worked.

So is there any way to make it work.

For context: I have been torrenting since I was a kid just messing arond and didn't understand anything about seeding. I'm at a point now where I take it more seriously and I want to seed more. Both because I want to give back and to help my ratio. I've seeded 8 terabtyes which is nice but I still have some more terabytes to make up for to get to a 1:1 ratio.

I've got ProtonVPN and port forwarding happening so I am under the impression all is well there. I have raised my Ratio Limits really high in Qbittorrent and on some, I've got some aweseme ratios like in the 30s and 40s. However, most torrents I'm seeding sit idly and I am only ever seeding a few kilobytes at a time.

I am wanting to look into getting into some private trackers at some point, and I know I need to get my ratios up before that can happen. Maybe 'be patient' is the right answer, and that's fine. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to be helpful and fix my ratio at the same time.

Hello,

Just wondering if anybody else is having issues while trying to torrent Ready or Not from Fitgirl’s mirrors. I’ve had no issues doing any other games, and just wanted to bring this to attention here and maybe find some insight.

Thank you.

In the past couple months, her setup .exes for unpacking have been getting auto deleted by windows defender, and they never used to in the past. I know it's always a risk "pirating", but does any tech savvy person know if she's doing something sly with her new setup.exes

My isp caught me torrenting a file, and unknowingly I let the download finish. The games now installed on my pc. Since the download is finished and the game is running am in any danger with my ISP. Or should I uninstall the game and delete everything? Alternatively should I just delete the torrent file?

Any info would be appreciated!

I want to download certain zip downloads from a creator but Mega acts really weirdly on Kemono, as in first it works and then it doesn't and just doesn't work after that.

It shows that either user removed the files and it's been taken off, but this is mainly for newer posts. When I go to posts that is still recent only a few months old I able able to download it without problem.

Any one know the reason for this? Or is it something I just have to wait for until I am able to download it? It seems like Kemono really does not like Mega links

most 🐐 websites on the megathread seem to trigger the url safety test.

is this normal? i assume it's not safe to download then, or is it? i've been told the mods update the megathread daily or something like that, so why is this happening?

So I just downloaded nicotine+ and was trying to run it through my vpn (nord), all I messed with were some settings and chose the NordLynx option.. did I do it correctly? Any information or tips is appreciated, I’m extremely new to this and pretty illiterate as far as computer lingo goes.

I've got a few, TL, Digital Core, OldToons, Seedpool and (public) 1337x, but don't seem to have consistent success having *arrs discover releases which exist on those sites.

Which trackers are best for fully searching them?

With the current debates concerning AI tools and the storm with DeepSeek, I was wondering what is this sub's overall take on using AI and what kind of things we should be worried about, in particular concerning privacy and surveillance (tracking), and data profiteering? Obviously there are other issues (e.g. creative and intellectual use, etc.), but currently I am more interested in the security aspect.

For those concerned with security and privacy, should these AI tools be avoided in general? On the other hand, if we already use search engines already, what are the fundamental differences? I assume that it is a matter of time before we replace search engines with AI tools.

Are there any fundamental differences between ChatGPT (and similar) and DeepSeek models?

Are options such as Duck AI (link) more safe and 'ethical'?

What would be the optimal AI tool (if any) from a 'pirate perspective'?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you are willing to share!

P.S. in case you haven't noticed yet, big noob writing.
