    Try Transmission, it looks more akin to other mac apps as well

    Idk what the issue is on macs as QT should work on macs just fine, maybe issues with libtorrent?

    I use grab-site (unmaintained) for full site archival and wget -p -k for simple non-javascript single pages

    I've heard good things about HTTrack, SingleFile and Archivebox but don't have any experience with them.

    Archivebox looks the most modern and intuitive but is hosted on docker

    I don't understand whst are they accomplishing here? Tachiyomi doesn't host any of the comics themself and making an app to get images off of websites can't be illegal, right?

    Are they gonna use the same arguments here that were used for The Pirate Bay?

    FearNoPeer (A private tracker) is open for signups fearnopeer.com

    I decided to share this here too since sailors don't seem to visit !opensignups@lemmy.ml and the murky waters of the orange sea should be seldom visited anymore. ![Site stats as of 2024-01-06](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/0562db3e-081e-491b-a5e3-0e3639613868.png) Links to more info about private trackers here: - https://opentrackers.org/ - https://hdvinnie.github.io/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet/ - https://inviteroute.github.io/sheet/ - https://ripped.guide/Scene/PTs/ - https://ripped.guide/Scene/Scene-Glossary/ ::: spoiler for the brave if you dare a journey that might lead you to the Davy Jones’ locker, the once locked down waters of r/OpenSignups and a newcomer r/trackersignups are places for the brave to check out ::: Taken from the orange seas wiki which we don't seem to have here? >► What is a private tracker? > >Private trackers are loosely defined as private torrent sites where a membership is required in order to download their torrents. An accurate description would separate private trackers into 2 parts: the tracker itself and the website that accompanies it. A torrent tracker is a server that tracks peers in a torrent swarm and assigns/connects peers to each other based on its own internal criteria. The tracker then reports to the website which, on top of providing a download link to the torrent file, will display all relevant info for that torrent, including peer/seed counts and optionally a peer list if the website operator chooses to include it. > >Unlike public trackers, these are not a free-for-all buffet. You need to contribute back (by uploading) a certain amount proportional to the amount you have "taken" from the tracker. This arrangement can vary a lot from tracker to tracker. Private trackers track this balance of contribution by a "ratio", which is simply a ratio of uploaded data, divided by your downloaded data. If you downloaded a total of 2GB and uploaded a total of 4GB, that would make your ratio a 2.0. Trackers will sometimes have different methods of maintaining an acceptable ratio, either by offering bonuses the longer you keep your torrents seeding, to providing "half-leech" or "freeleech" content. Freelech content is the most commonly used method, which means the torrent that is marked as freeleech is free to download, meaning it does not count against your Download stats, giving you an opportunity to gain upload from it without sacrificing any "download buffer". Some torrent trackers are "ratioless", meaning they don't require you to maintain any sort of ratio in order to keep using the site, they just require a minimum seed-time on all downloaded torrents (which is usually also a requirement on ratio pure trackers, but typically the seed-time isn't as lengthy as on ratioless trackers).

    nyaa.si has some officially translated Japanese light novels but for some the non-mtl fan translations are better than the official like for Overlord.

    This is very technical but if your ISP has unmetered Netflix or Spotify you could have a VPN on a server that spoofs the hostname (easier) or IP (harder) which only works for downloading and i imagine using >50GB of data to Spotify might make the ISP ask some questions. Netflix would be easier since 4k movies are a thing

    Wayland does not work properly on Nvidia Hardware: It keeps on getting closer but is not there yet, or so I've heard. Apparently, the issue is with the proprietary drivers, as noveau works well. But I use AMD, so I'm only working off rumours and opinions here.

    Posting this from Hyprland on NVIDIA, arch (btw) and the nvidia-open-dkms driver, but yes, NVIDIA isn't fully there yet.

    Look into Jellyfin and the *arr suite for automating downloads. If this seems too complicated for now, just get a cheap 1 TB external SSD, a VPN (check out mullvad), a torrent client (i suggest qBittorrent or Transmission), bind the torrent client to the VPN to prevent leaks and off you go!

    The simpler method has some drawbacks, not all TV's support all codecs and formats, you have to move the external drive from your computer to your TV for example. Getting Jellyfin setup will give you a more streaming service type of experience and if someone else than you might want to watch something, start with Jellyfin.

    If the Jellyfin experience is horrible and you just really wanna watch a movie to relax on a saturday, maybe take a look at Plex.

    If you already have the MiniPC just lying around then great, just use that! If you don't have it, you can also host Jellyfin + the *arr suite on your PC (unsure about Windows compatibility) and start them when needed or have them run in the background when your computer starts.

    What type of piracy do you use the most? strawpoll.com

    Personally I use public trackers the most and only recently private trackers for stuff in my native language. I did setup [i2p](https://geti2p.net) a few days ago and currently have only downloaded around ~1GB. Most of my bandwith (143 GB in / 135.5 GB out) has come from just having it in the background 24/7. The advantages of usenet don't really apply to me (longer retention, faster speeds, no vpn) Streaming i find useful for checking if something is worth downloading

    I hope that POSSE is the future but the layperson will not host their own site that serves as their "identity" which makes me feel that at some point we will have "identity management" services which will again centralize part of the web (in a less worse way)

    The releases with ads are often CAM or TS releases which are recorded at the movie theater with a camera

    At least torrentgalaxy marks ad-ridden releases with a small red "ad" label which i filter out with a ublock origin filter torrentgalaxy.to##.fa-adversal:upward(3)

    On other sites releases with ads might have the advertisement in the name like XBET

    How do you find media to watch?

    I've seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS' with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don't understand at all. I have a 1 tb drive from 2013 of which I'm using ~850GB and most of the space is used by series i have already watched and haven't bothered to delete. What are you storing to need so much space and how are you finding so much good content that you actually want to save?
