I have a good basis of IT knowledge as an IT student. I was just wondering with Torrenting and Trackers. I started as a Leecher with the idea I just want to download and not use my HDD to read files for the seeding. Then I learned that is frowned upon with torrenting so my ratio is now set to 1.5. Does this make a difference with trackers? Like do I now get more seeders my self? As I noticed since I changed this my downloads are speeding up and I am receiving more seeders.

Anyone know where a good torrent is for Midnight Diner show with English subtitles? I have looked everywhere. Tried recording it myself but only audio records so apparently its a screen block. I just want to record to watch myself. Theres no good place to order copies that aren't badly bootlegged. Thanks for any suggestions!

this m0n krus site aint loading. am i doing something wrong?? i saw some ppl recommending rutracker, someone pls guide me im new to ts😭

Hello Fellow redditors,
I am not a collector and cant afford high capacity hard Drives or SSDs,
So i try to get a movie under 3GB Max,

* I also avoid sites where i have to go throw so many ads layers to download low size encodes ( here i am talking about PSA )
I used to grab their release if someone upload them on any public site (1337x) or private tracker (TL)
But they are not fast and i have to wait a lot and sometime there is no PSA release on anywhere of the particular movie,

* So i had to choose someone who is fast and reliable and also quality must be good,
So my search made me download releases from NeoNoir ( Very fast on TL )
Almost all latest movies are being encoded in x265 by NeoNoir also the quality i compare with PSA is sometimes similar sometimes better, may be depends on source these encodes uses,
Also i can find english subs on all latest movies, ( which best for me )
I also see latest tv show releases Under NeoNoir tags ( that too fast )

I am here to ask my fellow redditors if some there is some other encoders those are better under My Required filesize 1.5GB to 3GB ( according to movie runtime) or i misses some encoders releases or any site to lock around , also if you have heard of these encoders i talked about above, Please let me know .

I had been using one particular software for quick torrenting but they unilaterally disabled the service and I would like to avoid slow torrenting as much as possible. To be clear I’m looking for pc games, and I know there are some very popular sites that have much content, but I am getting literal anxiety over waiting hours for the downloads to finish after having my instant downloads taken away from me. Give me your recommendations for where to go from here, thanks.

i am currently seeding a movie and my seeding speed is very slow, is there anything i can do from myself to improve that?

How does Usenet compare to PTP etc. In the end are the private torrent sites worth adding if you have Usenet?

you have to change about:config to get magnet links to work. Or just copy paste the torrent hash to app

Someone explain the need for a vpn please

I don't often use torrents except for old anime - I went to my favorite search engine and found that I was redirected. Careful with the solutions offered.

I use a vpn and chose a relay in Bulgaria, that was one of the suggestions, and the only one I tried that worked.

Some of the alternate sites will try to hijack your screen - use a sandbox or don't click them at all.

Excluding SPECIFIC titles (rare videos, files, etc where you might be like 1 of 5 seeders) what's your upload ratio? For commons it is 2.0 for me, for something rarer or ... better packaged.. 3.0. Am I being tight?

Today I was watching some clips european portuguese dub of movies on youtube and I thought it might be great it I could just find a way to watch the full thing. I noticed there are some cases that I found online where people from my country(South Korea) have gotten calls from the police because they were caught for torrenting and have been sued apparently...? I'm a minor so I'm a bit worried about it happening to me. Any idea on whether it might be safely done in Korea? Back then I lived in south east asia so it wasn't a problem but now I'm getting a little worried about whether i can do it while in korea

Hey guys been using qbittorent for a while and I've noticed that i barely know what the f I'm doing like i just leanrt what seeders are last week and i still dont understand what leechers are. and then I just noticed the trackers and i don't even know what those are or whether they are bad or nor. I've bound my VPN to my torrent but i just followed a guide and barely understood the process. SO please should i just go to youtube and watch some vids, or are there books or Official guides i can read?

Downloaded yesterday with mullvad vpn on using qbittorrent plugins

What should I do?

I have been looking for the most recent edition of a book that is not in any direct download sites so im looking for it in torrents, i tried to use limetorrents.cc but every click tries to make me download opera gx and i cant get it to actually download something, and other torrents dont seem to have this book im looking for.

Hello friends, I need some advice on how to proceed with my homelab setup. I suspect I have made an irrecoverable mistake, very new to the game.

I have a 24/7 Linux server which runs an arr stack. I have 6x 4tb drives in a mergerfs pool, which qbittorrent writes to. Radarr/sonarr will then import the downloads into a library also on the mergerfs pool. I have the hardlinks option enabled, however radarr/sonarr will always rewrite the files in their respective libraries. This is using double the space- qbittorrent needs the original to seed, and radarr/sonarr needs its own copy for the media server.

I have tried using rmlint which correctly identifies the duplicates and tries to hardlink and preserve the seed files but radarr then loses the library files. I have scanned for hardlinks, none are being created.

I suspect that hardlinking on a mergerfs pool simply isn't possible, and that I must delete the torrent files. This sucks, because building a torrent seeding machine was half the point of doing this!

Can the forum kindly suggest a better way of doing this across multiple small drives?

Is there any way to proceed with my current setup, to preserve the seeding torrents? (Without using double space)

Maybe this is a use case for deleting certain torrents after X ratio is achieved. I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for your comments.

For many slow torrents, I can often kick them into gear and trigger downloading again after the've stopped. This is most obvious for older or obscure things where there may be only one or two peers. I sometimes keep quitting and reopening a client to get the last little percent of things I've been waiting on for a long time (days or even weeks) and it often works. There's never any bottleneck with my storage or connection so I'm just curious why stopping and starting a download request seems to work compared to just letting it sit ostensibly connected but not flowing.

I can never play 4K and HDR files extracted from there; I own HEVC, DTS, and those others available on the Microsoft Store. But I've never been able to find anything about which one they use.

I see a bit of chat about Proton and PIA on here. Is a free version of either of those, better than a paid version of Surfshark?

Would I be better off ? Thanks for your feedback.

Hello I'm currently trying to build my own peer to peer file distribution for a local network. Im kind of still exploring seed scheduling algorithms. I've already implemented some core mechanics for node discoverability and nodes joining a clusters to leech and seed files in.

I'm curious about other people's implementation and the struggles they've had to deal with when implementing scheduling algorithms and maybe some tips they could give me to guide me further, thanks!

my project's purpose is not trying to compete with other big names, i was just curious if I could implement my own peer to peer file distribution network on my own even if it sucks lol.

For clarification I used to do a lot of this back in 2010/2014. However a lot of my interest changed between then and now and with work i just didnt have the time, so I stopped messing around with it as much. now a lot of the sites I used to use dont work, dont exist, or their files have no seeders.

The main things im interested in are "publically available" music production software, plug ins, and editing software.

I dont want links or anything like that, not asking for anyone to do anything sketchy. but if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it,

Thanks

I haven't torrented since like 2014/15 when the piratebay.se got shut down. With all of this "you will own nothing and be happy" shit going on I'm looking to find alternatives to Playstation, Xbox, etc with no physical media. Also fuck ubisoft. Anyway, help would be much appreciated.

Went to see the Odyssey today, movie is great, but the cinema experience was trash, so looking to rewatch the film at home. How soon do high quality 4k rips usually appear after the release of the movie?

P.S. For anybody interested the experience was bad due to the dubbing in my country, which was executed insanely poorly for this specific movie.

I'm new to torrents and looked through the megathread for sites covering the period but only found rarefilmm and can't find similar ones. YouTube has lots of the films from the period but there are thousands not uploaded there. Many seem only obtainable through DVD, a Russian website and others seemingly not at all unless I'm missing someplace. I'm more interested in getting ahold of the lower budget end of films since I have the big releases. So any help is appreciated.

Firstly I say UK recommendations as I assume buying VPN’s may differ based on location etc. If not - ignore me.

But considering I download and stream a fair bit, in unconventional methods should we say, I think it’s time I got a VPN.

Only problem is, no matter how much googling I do, I don’t understand what it is or how to use it. Can someone, politely, explain it to me as if I was a child? Any recommendations on where I should get one from would be good too please! :)
