Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I downloaded the installer from cmacked.com, and cleanmymac almost immediately recognized it as malware.

Basically the title, really. From what I can find so far these are either dead torrents or downloads from very questionable sources. There's the Russian DVD ISO rips on Internet Archive, but I can't get it to install on my PC for whatever reason.

I'm aware of the FitGirl repacks, but I want to install GTA IV the er, classic way (ISO files of course) and then apply some cracks + xliveless on top of the original installation, patched to 1.0.7.0. Thanks.

EDIT: For anyone trying to do the same, rutracker has a few GTA IV and EFLC ISO rips around and complete with serial generator for installation. I also did more searching and Internet Archive actually has at least one English DVD rips for GTA IV too (search GTA IV DVD), though you might still need the serial generator to complete installation.

Are there any groups on lemmy or discord that discusses movies releases in the pirated community? For example, the Barbie movie just dropped but it has Korean subs, got me thinking about looking for places to chat about the releases

So, I have used spotify premium for a long time and want to switch to using MP3 files. Is there a way I can find all of the songs I downloaded using SF Premium and copy them to a drive? TIA Comrades

Arrrr my fellow pirates, I wanted to install Starfield, but I seriously don't know how. I already downloaded a .rar file, but I don't know what else to do with it. I run Arch Linux.

Is that one ip address or one device?

I apologize in advance because I'm sure these probably feel like some stupid and duplicate questions. However, my attempts to find answers to these online have been met with answers that are sparse, oftentimes old (8+ years), and conflicting. I am looking into getting a seedbox. I decided to go with Whatbox because they seem to consistently have the best reputation. But I have some questions regarding the safety of doing this.

• Whatbox (and a few other seedbox companies) offer seedboxes in the US. How can they do that without being immediately shut down? Do they have some kind of restrictions that could cause problems with using a US-hosted seedbox? I've read that there is much faster torrent connection with EU-hosted boxes, but is that worth the tradeoff for direct download speeds? (According to Whatbox's network test, I'd be at 20 MB/s for USA and 10 MB/s for Netherlands.)

• How safe is paying via your real payment details? Pretty much every seedbox seems to take crypto, which sounds a lot safer but tacks on processing fees and inconvenience. (Also I am morally opposed to crypto so I would prefer not to use it.) This is the question that really seemed to have conflicting answers when I looked.

• How safe is connecting via your real IP, or should you still connect to the seedbox via VPN? I know that you won't get dinged by your ISP, I mean in case of something like the host being taken down and their records being looked through.

Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?

Hi. Following on from my previous giveaway last month, I now have FOUR TorrentLeech invites that I'm just giving away. No bullshit, just say you want it and it might be yours.

My IRL friends wouldn't have a clue what to do with these so I'm just giving them away again.

I'll probably leave this up for 24hrs or so and then, as before, choose four people at random. Good luck :)

EDIT: I closed this early due to the crazy amount of responses. I took the number of responses (160!) and ran it through an RNG 4 times to make this fair. Congratulations to @whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com @SoaringDE@feddit.de @notdeadyet@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website

For those interested in public torrent usage. No surprise, after RARBG closed it's traffic has been mostly transfered to Torrent Galaxy.

A few weeks into the Premiere League season, anyone have a go-to streaming site now?

Just making sure I'm not missing something obvious:

Self-hosted Linux VM with protonVPN and QBitorrent installed on it.

QBittorrent networking bound only to ProtonVPN's virtual interface with killswitch and secure core enabled.

Auto updates enabled and a scripted alert system if ProtonVPN dies. Obviously everything with very secure unique passwords.

Is this a safe setup to run 24/7 to torrent and seed with?

Are there any significant risks I'm missing? Thanks, fellow sea salts!

Hello, I would like some info about VPN usage at private trackers. I know it is a per-tracker policy but I notice many being a bit hostile toward em.

Example: A user would like to join a tracker, put a seedbox to help em seeding et al, but even while they allow VPN usage, they don't allow signup with the VPN on (and that absolutely defeats the reason of not having the user's real IP/time logged to a server that may be somehow attacked or forced to give theirs users details for some reason, even if that never happened before in such server). In that case the user would be de-"pseudonimizing" all their future use of the site via VPN since if their users details ever leak that could bind the future use of the site trough a VPN to the initial non-vpn IP address. This example affects every PHD sister sites, I believe.

So, I have some questions on that issue, if someone could help:

• 1. What is the ideal way to proceed in such situation? Are socks5 or other methods better accepted to unbind the use of the tracker site to the user IP address? (I'm talking about the trackers not even being able to handle such information in case something goes wrong. Not about an ISP or whoever else. Legality is not the concern here, but the very existence of the info itself).
• 2. Is there any place where we can find this info about trackers policies on VPNs? I did search but never found anything unified.
• 3. What trackers you know that simply don't care about the use of VPN? Which ones "don't care" but asks you to tell them (configure) your vpn details? Which ones absolutely don't allow them?

Thanks to anyone who can shed a light on these questions!

Other people are having the same issue, anyone knows if there's any solution out yet or if this is gonna be patched?

Specifically torrentbytes on Linux. On Linux mint I can download from other sites no problem but if I click a torrentbytes link, it sits there with no seeders forever. I installed arch and a client as a test and it downloaded no problem. Does anyone know why.? What's the difference between Linux mint and arch that seems to block torrent downloads?

Anybody know of a specific source where I could find anime or manga in Spanish? Thank you all who comment. Your time is much appreciated.

Anyone know if anything like this?

Hello Guys, i couldn´t find a book through the usual big sites, where can i ask for sources on a specific book ?

I was looking at the options suggested for desktop use and I often see Streamio being suggested, but seeing that it requires a sign up rubs me the wrong way.
On my Linux machine I use Waydroid to run Cloudstream since it's so easy to set up and use, but on Windows the whole ordeal to get sideloaded Android apps running seems troubling, so I was wondering if there's a better app that runs natively on desktop OSes that works similarly to Cloudstream, i.e. no signups, good multilingual extensions and easy to use UI

I recently started playing cyberpunk, I downloaded it from dodi and now i've noticed in one month or so, cyberpunk will receive a major update so I will need to reinstall the game with the update. How can I keep my save?

I have read that depending on the filters you have in uBlock, extensions like Skip Redirect are redundant, how true is this? And in theory, which filters should I activate for uBlock to perform the Skip Redirect function?

Personally, I'm not a Skip Redirect user, but this comment that I have read on multiple occasions makes me curious and depending on what people tell me here I may try it.
