Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'm a pretty heavy torrent user, running a media server complete with sonarr/radarr for automatic downloads. I download a lot, and have multiple TBs of upload on various private trackers. I've been torrenting forever, but I've always wondered about usenet. Over and over on this, and other, forums I see people saying that usenet is way better - but why?

I understand what it is overall, but what makes it better than traditional torrenting? In my mind, it's always just seemed like a different means to the same end. I pay for a VPN and torrent for "free", or I pay for usenet access and download directly from there. As someone who's "snobby" around the quality of the stuff I torrent, does usenet provide an advantage there?

Usenet fans, I'd love to hear what makes you love it! I'm always open to trying new things, and if It really is better I'd love to know why! (Plus, maybe what providers/tools etc you recommend).

It’s been down for a couple of days now. Did they change URL? Maintenance? Death?

Just that, I found this web while looking on FMHY and this seems to be the perfect torrenting tool. Is it really?

It seems to have no GB cap though it has speed-cap but it is not that important. And most importantly it is free

The concentration of the webtech nerds from r/piracy at @piracy is a sight to behold. Brings a tear to my eye. May a thousand Gazelles bloom from it

So with a little help from the megathread I have a particularly Good website for finding Old Games, and it worked yesterday when I downloaded systemshock2, but now I'm getting a 403 forbidden message. Is this from the site itself? Or is my ISP (virgin) cucking me?

Ahoy Mateys,

I've been thinking of buying the Plus version of Insight Timer to rip and share their (premium) courses. Few questions:

1. Can they track the content that I uploaded back to me? My problem is, that I would have to provide a Visa card and thus personal information with them. Can they somehow deduce that I have uploaded their content?

2. How to? My approach would be to use the Video DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox. I already tested it and it works. However, I would have to click each video, and each time the download button. Does anyone know if there is an easier way to automate this?

3. Is there any metadata in the audio files that I should remove?

Yo ho ho

And the fact it came from Steve Jobs is just funny

Hey folks. I've run a Plex instance on my home server for friends and family for a while now. I recently discovered how easy it was to use Stremio + Torrentio + Debrid, but all my users are already used to Plex, and I like to use the Plex app to download media to my phone before I fly somewhere on vacation. The plex_debrid project made me wonder how easy it could be to use Plex with Debrid.

Over the last few months I've been putting together Coaxist, a single Docker container with Plex, Overseerr, Rclone, and Debrid support. Features include:

• Support for multiple Media Profiles: e.g. grab 4K DV copies for home viewing, and 1080p copies for maximum compatibility
• It's just Plex: use the Plex apps, share with other users, download for offline viewing
• Plex watchlist and Overseerr request integration, out of the box – no copying API keys around
• "Instant" downloads with Debrid caching support
• Automatically refresh your Debrid files before they expire

It's easy to get started: start the container, set your Debrid credentials and media profiles in the config, and sign into Plex and Overseerr. The Connector searches Torrentio for your requests and sends the files to Debrid, while Rclone mounts the media locally for Plex to serve. Check out the Quick Start guide.

This project is still in early stages – expect many breaking changes – but if you're brave, and have a Linux, Unraid, or NAS machine that can run Docker containers, I'd love for you to try this out and let me know what you think.

Let's say an app came out that allowed pirating without consequences; that it connected every user to a fast, anonymous network, and users could donate anonymously to content creators and/or uploaders.

Piracy were so normal that even your grandma could just search "ahoy movie name", be directed to a third party store, download and install the "Ahoy App" and start watching movies and TV shows like on Popcorn Time or listen to music like on Napster and Spotify. It reached mainstream popularity and had download numbers like WhatsApp or TikTok.

Is this something we would want? Would the entertainment industry survive?

I purchased an ebook (two of them, actually) from some Japanese site called honto, but of course, stupid old me didn't realise that Digital Restrictions Management was going to make my life a living hell. Has anyone had any luck with cracking them, or did I just spend 730 Yen on a nothingburger?

Apparently, there are some local files on my phone from "doenloading" the ebook, but they won't load. In the browser I had a little more luck, but the images are scrambled when I attempt to "inspect element".

What do I do? I really want to get this to work...

I've been using mobile internet for last few years and whenever i would try to seed it'd be like 0.2 kb/s at best. I know that it's due to my dynamic IP (or whatever it's called) and i have closed ports.

Then i saw some people say that opening your ports makes your connection better/faster because you're able to connect not only to people with open ports, but closed ones aswell. Does it make sense download-speed-wise? Because how could i take traffic from someone who's unable to seed due to closed ports?

I don't know what plesk is; from a simple search it seems like hosting software. Does that mean the site is currently down? Can anyone link any other websites for getting Bollywood Movies with high quality (1080/4k/BrRips)? I tried searching for the one I want but the others don't have it, or have it in very low quality.

Some friends wanted to start a campaign and I'm trying to digitize my character sheet. Initially I was going to use d&dbeyond so I could send my DM the character sheet digitally and make it easier for them, but I can't pick Drow without paying for the character, for whatever silly reason. I've been checking out all the apps I can find on the play store and I can't find any with Drow.

Are their any apps that give you all the character options? I'm using Android but I don't mind switching over to my laptop (Windows/Linux). I had originally wanted an offline app but opted for online to help the DM, but since that won't be possible anymore I could care less. Still, online apps are fine as I can just block their access to the internet or suffer the occasional ad if I really must.

Hi everyone,

I am currently a student in a physical therapy assistant program and I am nearing graduation. I want to start studying for the board exam and there are several apps that are specifically made for this purpose. However, I am struggling financially and all these apps require a subscription service. I did some digging and found lucky patcher on reddit. Now for my questions: 1. does lucky patcher work on subscription based apps, or only one time fees? 2. Does lucky patcher have to run each time you use the app? 3. Is it safe?

If anyone has any other solutions that would be great.

My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Particularly kids shows. I've found yggtorrents but it takes forever to seed. There's a season of TV I want to get for my kids but it's over the ratio I have haha.

I'm not concerned with paying for a private tracker so long as they're trusted. I'd prefer a Usenet solution if that's possible.

I2P support anonymous torrents

TOR is good for direct downloads (DDL)

Don't know if others exist...

I created 2 hybrid torrents, A and B, both contains same files and has same trackers, uploaded A to public, It's been downloaded hundreds of times and there's no shortage of clients in the peer list that support v2.

use Tixati 3.19 and BiglyBT (supports v2) download B, it stuck at 0%, didn't get anything from A. Some people say that need trackers support this feature, is that true? Did you ever test succeed?

like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/qBittorrent/comments/t6pj7q/bittorrent_v2_not_working_as_expected/

I did a guide several months ago to make Microsoft Office installation as easy as possible. I have recently modified it to tell people to use the Ohook activation method and also updated the GitHub Gist mirror.

Happy pirating and I hope this guide can help anyone.

Hello World!

As we've all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced, were:

• !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
• !steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
• !piracy@lemmy.ml, and their local counterparts as follow up actions.

In our removal announcement, we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn't want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale.

Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it's time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds!

We know it's been a rough ride with everything, and we'd like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it.

With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas!

Lemmy.world Team
