Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I am such a huge horror junkie, I know you will say everything is on those two sites, but that is not the case for me. Where can I go to find good quality encodes of obscure titles?

Yet another argument in favour of piracy…

I have a paid Usenet account with good retention and I download through sabnzbd. I've only ever used nzbindex.com as an indexer.

For a long time it was easy to find TV/movies but in recent years it's become almost impossible. Has Usenet become a bad option because of takedowns or am I missing a modern way of using it?

I see there are lots of binaries posted with cryptic or random string names. Are these supposed to be regular TV/movies etc. with obfuscated names so they can't be found and taken down?

Do better/private indexers give access to these files or otherwise solve not being to find anything? Is it still supposed to be possible to find reliable new release shows and movies?

Are Sonarr/Radarr are what I need, do they solve the problem of not being able to find files, or do they just provide more convenience for the same files I can already find?

I have premier, after effects, etc running just fine. Lightroom is giving me a ton of trouble, and on most of the megathread sites, the version is a year or more old. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey fellow pirates, new to the fediverse but I thought I would share a torrent of the complete RARBG database in txt format that I downloaded from https://github.com/2004content/rarbg on 6/4 about a week before the github page got taken down:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z

To download, copy and paste that link into your client where it says add torrent link.

This is the most complete database I've seen, with 3,459,526 magnet links, and it is easy use because it is formatted as a single 395 mb text file. Just open with notepad++ or notepad2 and search. (just make sure to use periods instead of spaces when searching titles)

I'm always seeing a lot of incomplete versions of this database floating around, along with that old sqlite one from r/piratedgames that this one is based on, so I thought I'd make an account just to share this awesome work by 2004content.

Enjoy, and happy seeding!

Edit: See my comment below for the link with trackers added if you have trouble downloading trackerless torrents (the database itself contains trackerless links, so you will have to add trackers manually for those if needed.)

As of today I've noticed a few posts on the old Piracy sub talking about the megathread being replaced. I'm aware of the recent mod team changes

The general changes seem to be that someone had write access to the megathread and changed it to talk poorly about the new mod team (of the old sub) though personally I can't see any such messages on the usual megathread

I know we're not really meant to bring up the old sub however I'm unsure if the megathread changes are something we also need to implement here or if this is more just mod drama?

My main question is

1. Did the original megathread actually get changed to talk badly about the mod team
2. Which Megathread should we be using from now on?

Edit: The new pinned megathread on r/Piracy that was discussing this change has now been removed just to add to the confusion

I've heard that tigole is the best, but i've also seen Silence, SAMPA, etc. Is there really any difference? Should I avoid any of them?

I'm curious who your favorite torrent uploaders are (sorted by quality) e.g. QxR, UTR, etc.

Looks like the website was suddenly changed to new owners. Odd that it happened without notice to the mod team. Lot of things seem to be broken, more than just a change of domain and website colour. Videos are not being allowed to play in brave, just firefox and chrome. Only two video sources now.

Was my go to for checking out new anime quickly before I commit to downloading it on my server.

Thought it was interesting :)

Hello - I need some help understanding something. I'm looking at two WEB-DL files from reputable groups that are identical in nearly all ways (see details below), except one file is noticeably larger than the other (2.8GB vs 3.47GB, for example). I thought WEB-DL's should be the same size if they're from the same source (AMZN in this instance), so I'm a little confused as to why there's such a disparity in size when all else appears equal.

Any idea's what could explain the difference in file size here? I'm assuming the FLUX file is older based on when it was first uploaded vs the NTb one. Could this have something to do with it?

Bonus question: Which file would you choose in this situation?

(1) 1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP2.0.H.264-NTb

• FileSize......: 2.80 GiB
• Duration......: 42 min 35 s
• Video.........: High@L4 | 1920x1080 @ 9 197 kb/s
• Audio.........: English Dolby Digital Plus | 2 CH @ 224 kb/s
• Subtitle......: English / English.

(2) 1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP.2.0.H.264-FLUX

• FileSize......: 3.47 GiB
• Duration......: 42 min 12 s
• Video.........: High@L4 | 1920x1080 @ 11.3 Mb/s
• Audio.........: English Dolby Digital Plus | 2 CH @ 224 kb/s
• Subtitle......: English.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies! For anyone who stumbles upon this later on with a similar question, there's some really great replies in the comments below worth checking out. In my case, the file size difference was due to the difference in bitrate, where the bitrate differential is likely due to either (A) the region where the AMZN WEB-DL occurred (with different regions having different bitrates), or (B) the release group modifying the bitrate to fit a specific need (like limiting the file size). Knowing both release groups here tend to prioritize quality, I'm guessing the region is likely the main driver in the difference in bitrate size.

This is probably not the right place, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've been trying to copy this website so I could have offline access when tooling around the Channel Islands. I could (and probably will), just copy/paste whatever info I need for my little trips, but the fact that I can't copy it ass over is annoying the hell out of me. I've tried variations of wget -r ... as well as httrack with no success. Anyone have any idea how I can get this?

Thanks to this community popping up on my hot feed, I've spent my entire day setting up sonarr/radarr on my 423+ NAS within docker. I got most of it figured out on my own but I'm stumped on how sonarr/radarr takes the files from my torrent client downloads folder and moves them to my media folder for plex/jellyfin to view.

I've followed this guide for how my folder structure is setup: https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-guide

Could someone point me in the direction of what I need to do so that when a file is finished downloading it automatically moves to my media folder?

Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.

PS : If you're french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load

Just a reddit migrator.

Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

These are a life-saver in my house with my 2-year-old. I haven't been able to find a single post on any piracy channels or public/private trackers.

The top one in our house is I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. Please help, mateys!

Trying to backup a TV show I have on BD to my Plex server. The other discs in the season work fine w/ MakeMKV, but this one will only read the deleted scenes. So far, I've tried MakeMKV and dd (which returns an I/O error on this disc). Any other thoughts?

Some users are asking how to find private trackers .

Well, you can join this channel on Telegram that will inform when a private tracker becomes open to registration.
