MODERATORS
Just show them how to use searching on qbittorrent lol
Wait, there is a search? But isn't it would be like full of viruses? Its better to use good torrent site and even it sometimes can have viruses
But isn't it would be like full of viruses?
Not any more than the websites the search plugins use. Its basically searching the same way you do, on the sites you specify.
The search lists are community compiled and maintained and use dozens of those sites. Of course don't completely trust it... but it works really really well...
The biggest benefit is you can search everything so you don't have to trawl multiple sites. You can also add private trackers to it as well.
Your friend must have tried piracy like 15 years ago.
Ah, so you've heard of me?
Yesterday I've 15 minutes trying to download ISO from https://www.haiku-os.org/
I simply didn't see that big, bright, and very obvious "Download it now!" button.
Poorly designed button. Wrong colour and too much information. Green and "Download Here" would have been better.
this is 90% of what being a professional marketer is.
Me constantly fucking myself out of sales by trying to offer customers informed options lol
There is a link to the download mirrors inside the installation guides.
But you have heard of me...? 🫠
Lawyers of media companies certainly have.
Is that so? Well, they've got nothing on me, since I have a jar of dirt! Eat that, sleazy lawyers!
But it's for LLM training, I promise.
I've seen a vlc site without adblocker on windows yesterday, it was experience
Whats a vlc site? vlc as in the media player?
Yes, videolan.org.
Couldn't replicate it in mobile by turning off ublock on fennec, probably because of the cache. But I am assuming it's just as obnoxious as lot of news and pirate sites.
I was lost for a few seconds before download started automatically. There were 20 download buttons, popups, everything.
You guys use the internet to download torrents?
I personally get my torrent files delivered via postal mail.
It's on an SD card attached to a pigeon for me.
Hawks can seriously mess with my download speed.
Package loss and whatnot
Mine come with the floods, like in the olden days.
I get them on DVD from a guy selling them out of his car by the pub.
With jackett installed, I haven’t seen a button to download anything in ages
That's the secret handshake to get to the real dark web goods...
We shan't discuss the reliable methods
Anyone using torrents is a bad pirate 😂
Edit: after Kazaa etc torrents became big, but the true way to pirate is usenet.
Good pirate = Gets the stuff with minimum effort and acceptable risk
How come?
Insane amount of malware and viruses, plus you're constantly uploading which is what cops are looking for. Usenet is the way to go. With Sonarr en Radarr for automation for downloading movies and series. Paying for usenet means paying for privacy. No uploading, infinite availability, even of rare to find stuff. There are many communities. Sure, usenet is best if you pay for it, but often you get free VPN with it. So basically you get usenet and VPN for the same price as what you would pay for VPN alone.
Which indexers are you subscribed to? Using Geek and Ninja currently and have not run into many issues outside music availability being quite sparse
I see, thanks I'll look into that
