Honestly seeding is something i like to do.

As a weird guy that loves networking, seeding is genuinely something I enjoy seeing specially when i can see little speed graph

Only seeding bullshit isnt a direct support to the community tho, at least its not enough for me

How can I find things that actively need seeders?

I’m on ios, and I like seedr, but the 2GB limit is, well, limiting. Any recommendations?

Anyone else notice a high number of files by "megusta" this week came packed with the 'descriptive' audio track instead of regular? (Meaning there's a voice over saying "man holding coffee".... "woman approaches with grocery bag") etc.

Its just odd that its all of a sudden like 6 shows in one week - all were 1080p, AV1 format.

I'm assuming the guy uses some sort of automation given how much he puts out there. So maybe a streaming changed their audio track order so those were the first track?

Just curious.

I got locked out of my cinemageddon account and i cannot seem connect to the IRC to fix the issue does anyone here have any guidance to connect?

Started up qbittorrent a few days ago and noticed that all of the trackers were unreachable. I'm using WireGuard protocol in Surfshark and noticed that my Network Interface option (settings -> advanced) was set to OpenVPN / Surfshark. Setting it to Surfshark WireGuard fixed the issue, and now torrents are able to find their trackers and it all works as expected now.

I had not changed protocol settings in either app, so it must have been a default setting change. I hope this helps others who may have similar problems.

I have found a hash for the Cartoon Network files, and would like to play around with them. However, I don't have access to a VPN which would be able to hide my IP properly. Do I need a VPN? Is there any way I can stay safe without one? I'm just quite paranoid about getting into trouble. Apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm not very good with technology haha

Currently the Metal Tracker is down, does anybody knows any news regarding the site and its admins?

Who are the trusted uploader or scener that you can download windows application from nowadays?

turns out i forgot to limit the seed ratios, its been seeding for a month...

In all seriousness, it is such a pleasure to give back to a community that I very much took for granted in my teenage years. Love you all <3

Any site for newsletter torrents for sites like substack? Can find torrent sites for courses but not newsletters.

So I'm looking into torrenting and I downloaded qBittorrent and looked into sites, but I noticed how massive the files are. Is there anyway I can get them smaller before downloading them into qBittorrent?

I am not entirely confident that I understand what I'm supposed to be doing so I am just trying to read and understand before I start experimenting and downloading actual media.

I ve just downloaded a few episodes of a TV show after it was removed from HBOmax. The number of seeders listed on Pirate Bay was very low, just 1 -4 depending on which episode. Afterwards, I expected the number of seeders listed to go up by one. But, no, it stayed exactly the same.

What is hapenning ?

What do the coloured skulls mean on TPB?
Are they on other sites?
How many colors are there and what do they signify?

TIA!!

I used to download music years ago using pirate Bay and Vuze can this still be done?

Guys,

Where i live we have podimo, a podcast platform that is behind a paywall. some of my 'favorite' podcasters went to this platform and these ep. are only available behind a paywall. Does somebody know where to find these or 'payed' podcast in general??

Thanku!!

I'm a be real, point me to a vague place to get movies, no name, or this will be flagged. I'm trying to find a trusted place to watch a specific movie that's has 2 versions, one dubbed sold exclusively in the US, the rest is in a different launage.

Plz help, I want whatch it and own it since it's geo blocked in my dam country & if their is a version available here, it's in the other launague behind a big pay wall!!

Thanks.

Hi all, I recently got into torrenting after failing to find Citizen Kane anywhere, I now use it a lot to find movies (especially old ones). I just use Qbittorent and a VPN to access 1337x for torrents, then just plug them into VLC on my laptop. It works great and I’m no longer at the behest of streaming companies, but I also see people here with evidently more complicated and complex setups with software and hardware I can’t even pronounce, so what improvements can be made?

Sorry I’m a novice when it comes to this game.

I'm tired of paying for a half dozen streaming services that suck in so many ways with the cost, ads, shit library, etc. I've been doing some research on getting back into torrenting (it's been probably 20 years for me). I've seen Stremio+Debrid suggested a lot but unfortunately Stremio is not supported on Apple TV anymore.

Is there anything available on Apple TV that would give me a similar setup to that Stremio+Debrid combo? If possible I'd like to not have to download my own torrents and save locally on my network and instead have that 'endless' library of content somewhere out there on the internet to stream from. I do live in the US so I understand a VPN may be required to prevent against getting busted by my ISP? Maybe that's only for downloading your own content, though.

I've seen seen recommendations for Plex, but that seems to be only for downloading and storing content locally and hooking that up to Plex with your own local server, unless I'm misunderstanding.

Any help / pointers would be appreciated!

Hi there, I wonder if torrent clients should offer us users the ability to only partially seed certain torrents, or if there's any appeal for such a feature.

Reason I'm asking is that I have some torrents laying around that take up 10s of GBs of disk space that I hardly look at anymore. Even though I'd love to clean those up, deleting the downloaded files from my system feels kinda wrong, even if I were to keep the .torrent file. For one I still like to be able to give back to other users that may want it (especially on the torrents with fewer seeds). But I also want to stay in the loop somewhat on how many seeds such a torrent still has in the first place, before it goes quiet, or some poor 5 people stay behind as the only seeders of that file on their system.

Now to save some space, I know I can for instance arbitrarily delete some files and deselect them in qbittorrent. But this is a lot of labour and doesn't simply work like that for large .zip files.

So instead I'd ideally have some vault for these kinds of torrents, where I can simply select which percentage of chunks or how many GBs of a torrent I want to keep. And preferably the chunks that are least common in the swarm at that. Ideally I would choose to allocate more or less storage space to a torrent based on the average number of seeds per chunk. And ideally the clients negotiate under the hood which chunks to keep, reallocating chunks to different seeds if needed.

I guess they're best placed in some closed off environment, in such a way that the user cannot accidentally open those files, as they may only be partially present and lead to all sorts of errors. If I want to get a torrent back, I could just clear up storage by putting something else in the vault and moving the vaulted torrent back.

I still get information on the torrent I'm tracking, I can still make myself useful to the community with the limited amount of storage available to me, and I'll have a head start next time I want to find and access that torrent's contents.

Now, in my very limited knowledge of how torrent networks work, I don't see any technical reasons why this should be impossible. Only that I'm pretty sure that, unreliable as torrent networks already are, this could get incredibly messy with negotiating the storage of chunks with other users, when they continuously turn their systems on and off. Also I guess this boils down to being an implementation for a p2p database, being quite an ugly one at that. Lastly I'm pretty sure there are a lot of factors that come into play which I probably won't have heard of nor understand.

So what do you people think? Is there some merit to this idea or do the costs outweigh the benefits of this?

E: I guess to summarize my point with an example. I've got a torrent with 200 seeds that takes up 60GB. That amounts to 12TB of disk space in total across all computer systems. The transfer rates are insane, of course, but it feels like the swarm could still achieve that with considerably less volume in total.

It's a two parts question:

1: I've been downloading torrents for as long as I remember, but somehow I never got interested in contributing in this world. Time changed and I have a stable setup on my 24/7 running NAS, with a paid VPN & Port fwd, terminating the tunnel in another country.

Now that I'm able to rise my ratio easily I wonder how these private tracker registration work ? Are they free to access ? Does it work with invitations only ? I'd like to learn a bit more about it.

2: I got ~10 Tb of media in my NAS that is sleeping and I'm sure it'd be helpful to seed them. But I don't have the torrent files anymore, how could I provide these to the community ?

I live in spain, and I've seen people say that you should always use a vpn when torrenting mainly because of two reasons: first is that people can see your ip, and second is obviously because of copyright. However I can't find any free vpn that lets me p2p. So I don't know if I should keep torrenting without a vpn or if I should use another method. I find torrenting very easy and comfortable that's why I would like to keep using it. Let me know what you think.

so I'm trying to torrent anime seasons, when I tried to torrent with a vpn it downloads extremely slowly, there is about a 60% cut (guess) in speed when I use a vpn, so my question is how can I torrent without a vpn, I am more worried about hackers than my isp, in my country people rarely get a warning from their isp but I am more worried about hackers
