Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn't seem that out of touch with America's racial issues.

I don't have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they're really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall

The paid way to do this is is to buy something like Streamfab to download the stream directly from the source. Note for the most part you will be limited to 720p/1080p. Another paid software that used to be around was Redfox AnyStream but they went offline last year.

Only private trackers / scene would know about 2160p / 4K downloads and they're not going to share publicly about their methods.

The free method is to attempt to do the video capture yourself (see earlier comments) rather than download the stream itself.

Of course for the most part tons of content has already been downloaded by others and made available via torrents, DDL, etc.

Seems like more plebbit spam.

Just tested it and it seems to work normally on my Pixel 7.

Lots of permaseeders out there, you can be one too :)

There's no real downside as long as your ISP doesn't limit your bandwidth.

I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading.

Either the .mp4 is corrupt, or you need to wait for the torrent itself to finish 100% complete.

You are downloading in sequential mode, and it sounds like these .mp4 files were generated with the moov atom at the end of the file. Which means the file is cut off at the very end (aka corrupt) or the torrent itself just never finished downloading the last pieces of that .mp4 file.

At least that's how I'm understanding your question... you're saying the file is at 100% but you're also saying the torrent isn't at 100%, to me that sounds like there's torrent pieces missing to complete the rest of the .mp4 file maybe.

EDIT: Just to add, technically encoding software can write that moov atom at the beginning of the .mp4 file which would avoid this problem entirely but it sounds like these files you're downloading aren't encoded that way. In encoding software usually that means "optimizing" the file or making it "web" ready for a web browser to play immediately as it downloads sequentially.. I forget what ffmpeg calls it specifically.

EDIT 2: Thinking about it, if you're desperate to play this file as-is maybe you can run it through ffmpeg to create a new .mp4 file and then play it that way. It's not a real fix since the original source seems to be broken but you may be able to get something playable at least.

Again with this? You're just spamming /c/Piracy at this point (and probably breaking rule #4).

Torrent swarms need at least one connectable (port forwarded) peer for any torrent data to transfer. In large torrent swarms you won't notice this too much since there are usually plenty of connectable peers available.

The effect tends to be more noticeable in smaller swarms.

In practice you may not notice unless you try to download those torrents with one lone seed who also happen to have no port forward. In those cases you'll see there's a seed but no torrent data ever transfers over to you. (note that the same happens in reverse if you're the lone seed on many torrents)

Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too?

The vast majority of public torrent indexers do not run their own trackers.

Dead trackers are common with old torrents. Personally I remove all the public trackers and just let DHT take care of that.

But if you prefer to have active public trackers on there then you could

1. Remove all the dead ones
2. Add the top x trackers from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

Something like https://github.com/fedarovich/qbittorrent-cli ? Haven't used it myself but it's been on my radar.

Just FYI rtorrent does not support I2P

https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/1240

https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/1168

There are only a few torrent clients that support I2P

• i2psnark
• qBittorrent
• BiglyBT
• XD

Also note that the only torrent client with DHT support via i2P is i2psnark, and only when using the standard java I2P. So in your case when using i2pd you can rule out torrenting via DHT. (BiglyBT sort of supports DHT but only when you manually click a button to force it to search DHT via I2P)

i2psnark standalone I think would still work for you (without DHT) but it is very, very feature limited when compared to standard torrent clients.

BiglyBT sort of works but it's not great as a full-time I2P torrent client, the devs purposely designed it to use I2P as a backup to regular clearnet torrenting. I'm not even sure if it's possible to configure it to be a full-time I2P torrent client.

That leaves you with qBittorrent and XD so those would be the ones you could check out. No idea about adding magnets or anything else via CLI but I do know there are tools that exist to do stuff like that for qBittorrent e.g. https://github.com/fedarovich/qbittorrent-cli

PS - Since you're not going to be torrenting with DHT it is important for you to make sure I2P trackers are added to every torrent you load otherwise you'll never find any torrent peers to connect to.

These are working public trackers in I2P that I know of:

http://w7tpbzncbcocrqtwwm3nezhnnsw4ozadvi2hmvzdhrqzfxfum7wa.b32.i2p/a

http://opentracker.skank.i2p/a

http://opentracker.r4sas.i2p/a

http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/a

This tracker is also in I2P but it only tracks torrents registered at their site:
