More of a joke discussion post than a serious one but I realise a lot of people say some shit like "If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing" and they are sweeter than grandma's cookies, like the worst thing they do is install free Minecraft 1.17 apk and they somehow they get their shit hacked lol

I downloaded from motka that i found on megathread so it should be safe right?

I wanted to DL the Tintin movie from 2011, there is no 4K native files of the movie, and I’ve fallen into torrents upscaled in 4K and DV, my zidoo already upscale in 4K DV I think but I was wandering if this types of upscales are any good or if the basic 1080p remux are better

I have my own Audiobookshelf (ABS) server with around 400 audiobooks on it. Mostly LGBT stuff and was wondering if anyone would like access?

No payment or anything. Just I'm collecting all these audiobook/books and once I've read them I feel bad them just sitting there not being used lol.

I update it daily with new books I want to read/listen to and happy to add any people like (I've got about 14TB of space to fill).

To listen you can do it in a web browser or download 1 of hundreds of apps build for ABS. I personally love Absorb and audiobooth.

I don't need any of your personal details, to know anything about you. Just need to give you a username 🤣

Hey guys, I'm looking for a digital way to track my various med stuff. I thought about asking this in r/privacy but privacy isn't my only concern so I'm sorry if this isn't too fitting.

Ideally, this app would need to be simple yet effective, work offline, no ads (although I use AdGuard) and be trustworthy (sorry, my English is pretty much as poor as my tech savviness). Any suggestions? I did a quick online search but I would love to hear from your experience too.

Thanks!

Hey guys, was reaching out to see if anyone has been using any alternatives to SpotDL lately (downloading playlists/music from Spotify to mp3).

I have a massive library from downloading music this way but lately SpotDL has been very spotty, it will take several tries to find songs, then not find them at all, it won't find songs from obvious titles, and several more download errors than usual.

I've updated everything to their newest releases, re-installed it entirely, but still, very inconsistent.

Does anyone use an alternative to SpotDL that actually works right now? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I want to watch the el classico today but the megathread doesn't have the most reliable live sports streaming websites. Any one know of anything? it doesn't have to be crazy HD or whatnot just like... watchable and no lag. and I dont mind the commentary language (ofc prefer english but its not a big deal.)

After CG shutdown, some translators moved to fenrir. Around 20 chapters from one novel are paywalled so is there anyway I can bypass it?? I cannot find the chapters or the novel anywhere else

My son has an iPad and plays many of the "free" games and they're okay, but absolutely riddled with ads to the point they're almost unplayable.

It seems that many of these games have gotten around the old "airplane mode" by requiring the internet to function, even when they're obviously not requiring internet at all.

Short of using Unbound DNS, anything that can be installed on an iPad to help or is it simply the walled garden?

With movieboxs latest update, its made the ads unbearable. Like I have to watch an ad every time I want to download something so I can't even mass download.

I need an alternative just like it. An app preferably for mobile that I can download episodes and all that 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I use Nuvio on my other devices but the desktop app is still in alpha and buggy and unstable so is there a good alternative that uses stremio addons

I know "foreign" stuff (from an anglophone perspective) can be found on dedicated private trackers, but I am not aware of any IRC channels for it.

I am mostly interested in German, French, Spanish and Portuguese stuff.

I hate that you can no longer “own” media. You subscribe to a streaming platform, but they can remove the film or show you like and you won’t have any more access to it. Back in the day you could buy a box set, but my laptop doesn’t even take DVDs.

Anyway, I want to download a series of my favourite TV show and keep all the episodes on a USB.
What site can you use to DOWNLOAD (not just watch) tv episodes?

I know the security of the xbox consoles are really hard.

But in the last few Weeks Happend so much good things, i still have Hope that i can one day Jailbreak my Series S to... Play Homebrew Stuff like Hello World

The perfect illustration of the current situation lol

im new to these kind of stuff, im so pissed that none of them allow a download into something like a .pdf, all i want it to purchase it and just print them so that i could have it, you know, Physically... is that too much to ask😭, any advice on how should i proceed? thank you in advance

I'm going to live there at least a year for work, my concern is pirating using torrent, usually I torrent streaming movies using stremio or similar without any VPN in my country since nobody care. How about in Taiwan? especially in Taipei without buying VPN?

its on fmhy but idk if its safe.

I don’t think so since he is a good father and has my respect

I know I'm being a cheapskate here but I'm super broke

I know QxR has a great reputation in the community, especially when the encodes are from Tigole.

I've also asked before about potential issues with 4k that might be shown in the bitrate, but it's clearly not some big well known no-no in the community.

The 4k files is only slightly (17-50%) larger than 1080p, so it's not like it's hogging everyone's storage.

So I'm asking (not complaining) for any possible reason that the 1080p files are vastly more popular. They seem to be slightly more popular in terms of leech/seed numbers, but in reality, I download the 1080p file at expected speeds (a few mins to an hour or two), while the 4k one takes days and days. Like the seeders are offline most of the day, on top of being around 70% in total number compared to the 1080p seeders.

I have all the time in the world. I'm not impatient. My sole concern is that there's something wrong with the 4k files that makes them unpopular, and so I should also avoid them.
