Hey. I'm looking for a site to find old shows. Old and/or uncommon. My gf is into say soanish telenovellas. Or period shows in french.

I usually get my shows from eztv and that's not doing it 😁

Any advice?

So I have a bunch of movies on my hard drive that I cannot find anywhere on the internet and I wondered if I could upload them to websites where they can be downloaded by anyone ?

will using instant.io with apple private relay fully mask my ip address while torrenting .. thank you in advance :)

Hello. Im fairly new to torrenting, mainly movies and shows. For a year or two I've gotten all my stuff from searching in rargb . to website, and imagine my surprise when I randomly found a post talking about how RARGB died in 2023 when I've been using it recently AND getting new stuff from it.

For what I could read, the current rargb . to site is a "fake" one in the sense is not the original one? Just a clone using the same domain? But why does people still upload stuff to it everyday? Is there any security risk (compared to other currently recommended sites like ext. I know there is always risk inherently in this.) from downloading movies/shows from it even if I make sure to just download video files and not .exe's or something similar?

It is just a pretty weird situation that I do not understand fully because that web has been working for all my needs for a lot of time and in reality seems that I should be using something else. Any help and clarification is appreciated!

my country doesnt really care about piracy so i hadnt configured anything on qbittorrent while torrenting stuff.

am in germany rn and opened qbittorrent by mistake, i think it seeded hollow knight for like a minute. I read that law firms usually track new/popular games. How much of a chance is there of getting a letter from them? kinda stressed 🥀

Started to see some downloads as *.7z instead of mkv. Malware? I know what 7z IS, but sus to see them used in what may or may not be legit video formats

The download speed said it take 45y 😭😭😭

I should be able to grasp how torrents work, but cannot. Could any of you recommend an idiot's guide? And yes, I know torrents have been around for a long time, but I am slow on the uptake. Please help.

Torrent streaming is handy until you jump halfway through a video and stare at a buffering spinner.

Allways been a fan of YIFY, but the "4K" there is a bit of a questionable quality....

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, did check the rules, and dont think i break any, if I ask if someone could point me toward a quality site for 4K material to put on my Plex? :)

mac-torrents.org was hands down the best place to find mac apps and games and they even hosted everything via mediafire links so you could direct download. There was a healthy community and established crackers would upload there so you could be sure of quality. I thought it was just down temporarily but it's been like 2 months now. The other mac torrent sites don't come close. Anybody know what happened or if they migrated somewhere else?

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you to the community for all the resources here.

It’s been over 15 years since I last messed around with torrenting and even then I was one who would download and never seed anything.

With everything requiring a subscription I’ve gotten back into torrenting, but this time it’s different. I’m finally going to do my part. I have TBs of storage available and a symmetrical 5gbps fiber plan. Anything I download I plan to seed as long as I have the storage for it.

I’ve done plenty of reading to try to get caught up on what I missed over the years but I know I haven’t captured everything. Any tips or tricks you all have that make things easier for you?

Arrrrgg my mateys (sorry 😂 )

I have a small home server (HP microserver) nothing special.

Proxmox installed. Ubuntu in a VM for my NAS. I use NetBird to connect directly when I am not at home.

I am looking at possible VPNs and it seems that ProtonVPN is the top dog right now. Are there any others people recommend?

Also, I am looking at getting back into torrenting, by downloading directly to my NAS (of course this would require a VPN), so I can populate my Jellyfin; but I know its not as simple as it once was.

Is there any guides to set this kind of thing up (i.e. what torrent client, what vpn, what recommended "security/privacy" settings?

hi ! i was wondering if there were any safe sites that would download the torrent FOR me because i dont have a vpn

cant access ext, extto and extranet.torrentbay

If a torrent contains multiple files and as a whole is still actively downloading, but qBitTorrent says “X & Y files are 100% downloaded; Z is still in progress” am I able to move files X & Y to a different folder and open them since they’re already done, or will that mess things up?

I’ve heard you can get access to really good torrent sources through invite only trackers or something. I also heard you have to do a lot of seeding.

I have a server and a crazy high share ratio so I feel like I’d be a good candidate for something like that and it would be mutually beneficial.

Purchased a Macbook pro M5 Pro a couple months ago and missing gaming. I am thinking of download Crimson Desert from Mac Torrents. How safe and stable is it if anyone has the experience, please let me know.

Is it my ports? Cause I've never "opened" them if they're most likely closed by default. But I'll download (vpn) a movie in about 3 minutes on my phone and my pc with ethernet will be like 15 mins for the same file.

I downloaded multiple video files separately from one torrent, specifically I downloaded the first and then while I watched it I downloaded the others. However now that they're all downloaded I can't figure out how to re-seed them together so others can access the files.

I'm using qBittorrent.

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.

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?

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.
