When you have some torrent where there is a huge collection of files only some of which you want right now, but maybe you will come back to it later to get something else.

Example: This is a listing for torrents of audiobooks from The Eye. (Alphabetically by author, one torrent per letter.)

So I don't want to download every audiobook ever. I selectively choose which to download. Then the torrent is "completed" when those are done. But I want to keep them around because maybe later I want something else. I just leave them in the queue?

In the torrent apps I've used, they seem to get confused by these. If you move the downloaded file to a proper location in your filesystem, then it is having a "missing files" error, unable to seed, and the torrent is in error state. But if you leave the obtained files, it's still in the "not yet downloaded" directory forever.

Wondering if there is some smart way of managing this, or what?

No IPTV is not a crime (social.freetalklive.com)

Umm, no, IPTV is NOT a crime. It's a protocol. An IPTV provider may be committing copyright infringement IF they're sourcing materials without permission from copyright holders. That's NOT the same thing as a protocol being illegal. The argument an application is illegal would be better reserved to applications connected to services and/or companies like Napster or LimeWire, but even in those cases it was NOT illegal for FrostWire (a fork of LimeWire) to be distributed even after the court found the LimeWire entity to be violating the law. The criminality was something along the logic that they advertised content early on that that they knew or should have known was not legally available through the system (assuming I'm thinking of the right case here). Napster was centrally controlled, LimeWire was not. LimeWire had an interesting bootstraping protocol that didn't rely on a central server (from what I recall) which is also why FrostWire (and possibly other clients) continued working after the LimeWire entity shut down.

Hello, we were wondering if there's a place to either get more tracks for movies and television shows etc so that they are accessible, i.e. Audio Descriptions.

We know some people that find anything lacking an audio description track inaccessible and so were wondering if there was a place we could go to get them or if there is a place where they are already included in the file.

Thanks so much!

The system will train AI to recognize piracy websites by analyzing their layouts, advertisements, and content patterns. It will also utilize image recognition to detect unauthorized use of manga and anime materials provided by publishers.

How is this related to piracy? FCC regulates the pipes we use (some of us at least).

So as I look to build my first dedicated media server, I’m curious about what OS options I have which will check all the boxes. I’m interested in Unraid, and if there’s a Linux distro that works especially well I’d be willing to check that out as well. I just want to make sure that whatever I pick, I can use qbittorrent, Proton, and get the Arr suite working

I unpacked and sent my game containing online fix to a friend of mine on mac . I was wondering how can we play online together. So he set up Whiskey and ran steam on it and added me as (Steam needs to run to be able to play via online fix). He also added the game in question on whiskey. The game runs well and works on lan. But when i send an invitation to join my lobby online steam doesnt seem to detect the game (he gets my invitation tho). So we tried manually adding the game via steam but in vain.

Any tips on how to solve this? Or is it even possible to do such thing?? It worked with my friends running windows.

Hypothetically speaking, if one was looking for some, where would they look?

Has anyone seen any particularly good deals for NAS's, storage or memory, mini computers, things like that, for this Black Friday / Cyber Monday season?

Bonus points if you can guess:

  • from which tracker the torrent is and
  • the exact title of the file

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

Right now, it's a bit difficult to go through all of my movies. I know I can create and sort by collection, genre, etc., but it doesn't help when browsing for movies to watch. What I'd like to do is group, for example, all the Harry Potter movies together. Or all the Star Wars movies together. Right now, they take up an inordinate amount of space. Is there a way to configure Plex to have them in a sort of subfolder that expands when selected?

It also says "free of installer bundles" while (at least in past, don't know about now) their default windows installer was including ads (source)

P.S.: If you want to disable the in-app ads, here's how to: https://gist.github.com/yunooooo/87564a0293a1c7a53fb3e233a604c638

I'm just wondering what people's experience is like in cases where they mostly play pirated games

When I found out I had a V1 Switch, I homebrewed it as soon as I was able, and ripped all my games to put them onto an emulator. After looking further into it, I found that homebrewing could improve the console experience as well. I'm eager to use it, but I'd rather not manually inject a payload every time through Tegra. Are there any ways to make the Switch boot into a payload like Hekate?

I'm starting to collect some documentaries for my server but having a hard time finding torrents on the public sites. Is there a torrent site that specializes in documentaries?
