I'm looking for "Everybody has an Andy Dick Story" ... but I can't find it anywhere on Usenet or as a torrent.

This is the first time I've been unable to find anything in the vast open seas and I'm stymied. Can anyone recommend where I can search for something like this? It's pretty obscure at this point, but I've always been able to track something down in the past.

Hey, I wanna start building a media library because I’m annoyed with all the streaming services. Only problem is, that I’m from germany with strict laws. Anyone here got experience with torrenting movies and stuff in germany?

As the title suggests, Lutris is requiring me to sign in to GOG so that it can verify my ownership of the game. If my memory serves me well, I used to be able to simply click on the GOG version and then link it to the installation executable file that I downloaded from gog-games.com.

I know one shouldn't be installing apps from shady sources, but what if I just want to try out and app before actually purchasing it from the play store.

Are there any good sources to download from ?

I've been able to download steam mods before with SteamCMD, but Factorio's mods aren't on steam, they're on the official website.

To download mods from the official website, you either have to log in with a steam account that owns the game, or create an account and link a steam account that way. (You can also download them in-game, but that requires a steam account owning the game as well.)

Does anyone know of a way to download any of them?

Fellow pirates, does anyone have any good antivirus recommendations? Looking to get one but I'm not too sure which one is legit and not just a bunch of bloatware. Thanks in advance

Hey ya all,



Reiverr is a project of mine that I’ve decided to release to the public today. It’s a self-hosted website similar to the content discovery app Overseerr, with the added features of managing and watching your content library through Sonarr, Radarr and Jellyfin integrations. The motivation behind the project was the lack of a unified modern UI that could be used to discover, manage and watch content in a single place.

Currently, the project is in very early stages of development, but it is mostly usable in its current state. If you want to try it out, you can find the installation instructions in the project’s GitHub page:



https://github.com/aleksilassila/reiverr

Also: For the project to reach its fullest potential, it could use contributions! If you’d like to contribute code, designs (I’m not a UI designer, please help me), documentation or anything else, first of all, thank you!, and you can find an extensive list of planned features & fixes at the Reiverr Taskboard. It’s also a great place to just get a sense of what’s being done if you’re curious.



Cheers guys!

I'm loving Stremio so far, but having bad luck with the TV show Only Murders in the Building. It's a fairly recent show. However, it doesn't show any episode information for season one and two on Android. On Google TV it does show the episodes but getting No Streams Found for every episode. I could easily found it on usenet so guess it's a bug with this show? Or do I need to add more providers? I've got Torrentio with Realdebrid configured and all other shows and movies seem to work fine.

I was wondering what it would take to rip udemy courses. I bought two udemy courses (ccna courses) a while back and i wanted to share da booty

I know there’s a udemy downloader in github (it only allows me to download it but i’ll still need the key) and it uses widevine drm. Anyone have experience with this?

I've been using NZBPlanet for years. I guess they've recently changed their model so that, unless you pay, your account is deactivated within 24h.

Any other suggestions to find files on usenet?

Alternatively, how can I go about paying them anon? Go get a gift card credit card or something?

If it helps, mostly looking a shows or movies. Not games

I've been thinking about putting some stuff that I can only find on direct download sites up as torrents, but most places I can access either have fake sign up/login links, or have very strict rules, like torrentgalaxy requiring at least 5 uploads per month for 3 months

I saw there was a thread about ad blocking on android but I was wondering the best methods for ad blocking that cover the entire phone if possible like in app ads and such as well.

Anyone have experience using Aniyomi? I recently installed the app to watch some anime on my phone but I can't seem to find the subs.. is this something I have to add manually ? Or my extension doesn't support subs ? I'm using Aniwatch. Thank you to all who respond. Your time is very much appreciated.

Is there a cracked version of dubnautica where online mod would work? Or is it just universal and doesnt care. Would it only work between cracked versions or cracked/steam?

Maybe I can find Alien VHS rip here..

2918
 
 

I really want to get this. Poor quality video and audio, some of those classic VHS lines across the screen...

For me it's nostalgia and also fits with the analogue/early digital type vibe of the ship and equipment.

I'm sure a VHS rip must exist somewhere, anyone know where I could find one?

There always seems to be quite a few of the usual pdf's of the now defunct special effect magazine Cinefex floating around.

Does anyone know of somewhere that has the complete collection I could acquire in one go?

Cinefex did go digital via an iOS app and I always wondered if someone would somehow download the entire contents but I guess it never happened.

In the wake of increasingly expensive streaming services, I have already switched from Netflix to Stremio with real Debrid and torrentio. Works wonderfully on the TV with the FireTV stick.

I have Disney+ for my child and would like to get rid of that too. The problem is that I need German-language content for the child and I don't always get it reliably via Stremio. I've already set German as my favourite language, but Stremio doesn't have most of the films and series in German. Is there a simple solution here?

I've been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn't 4k.

I've been pirating my whole life in mobile and rarely in pc. What are some the best download managers to use in windows?

So I have to seed a torrent for up to 10 days. Doesn't sound that big of a deal right? Just leave it running in the background. Here's the problem. Despite me turning off battery optimization on my phone and turning Libretorrent's battery usage to unrestricted it will still for some reason stop seeding in the middle of the night. Because of this, a torrent I started seeding on the 5th is only at 2 days 13 hours!

Is there any way to fix this? Would switching to another client still count for my torrentleech seeding time? I really need to fix this or it's going to take an eternity to reach 10 days of seeding time.

I'm just gonna apologize already for some long run-on sentences and stuff, the text below the questions are more just unorganized thought piles then actual organized specific confusions.

Q1: Are private trackers worth it?

I've been seeing a lot recently about how private trackers are like the holy grail for piracy, better rips, faster releases, no ISP notices (I use a vpn so this doesn't matter), etc, but I have never had issues like that. Every time I want to torrent a movie (including new ones) I can get them from places like 1337x, (rip) RARGB, or even tpb with good enough quality for what I need (3-7gb usually). I don't have issues with finding new releases or higher quality ones and all the torrents I need I can find on public places. So what actually would be the appeal of private trackers for someone like me, like what do private trackers actually have that public ones don't? Also, it wouldn't help that my internet connect is absolutely horrible for torrenting, 500-600+ down and like 15 up with a vpn on and it isn't better without one on much, just faster downloads. And so this would just make meeting the "share ratios" or whatever the trackers call it really hard to achieve because for me it can take days or longer to sometimes reach a 1.0 share ratio outside of some specific cases. It doesn't help either that people seem to often be purged or kicked from private trackers if they don't meet certain standards or aren't active enough and then they'll have to go through the whole rigorous interview process again or have to start from scratch with working their way up from trackers like RED.

Q2: What makes a torrenting site safe / unsafe?

I saw some stuff recently about how 1337x isn't safe anymore because of some malicious game torrent being posted from some person connected to the owner of the site. I personally do not pirate games often (I've only done it once and I mainly just pirate movies and shows) and so I do not really know what makes a torrent site safe/unsafe for people to torrent from as I thought regardless of site, unless its from one specific trusted group like fitgirl, that there was always a risk of downloading malware and so you had to be really careful of what torrents they download and make sure that what they downloaded wasn't malware either by checking things like seed counts or reviews or whatever (never had to do this so idk what the signs are). Do some sites just not have malware on them or what does it mean for a torrent site to be safe / unsafe.

I'll edit this post or comment if I have anymore questions but thank you for taking the time to actually read this.
