Edit: It seems that it may be 40MB and that the other 629 MB is from the Texturino plugin that generally gets bundled with it. I believe it is just two separated direct downloads. Not sure why there would be inconsistencies in the file size though (669MB vs 678MB)

Note: I am not requesting for a link nor a source, but rather I just want to know if I am direct downloading the correct file. Specifically, is the bundle supposed to be 40MB or 678MB?

I found torrented versions are 678MB, but direct downloaded versions are only 40MB. motka (dot) net (from the megathread) had one for 678MB, but the download is a 404 sadly.

Also, is the latest version 3.9.1? I see direct download ones showing up as 4.1.0, and 4.2.0 (which doesn't seem right to me)

Thank you.

Hi, let me know if this is obviously stupid and won't work. I'm an old pirate but obviously still pretty uneducated. I've got a dead torrent that's a collection of roms. 4 seeders, 800 abandoned peers (ungrateful basterds). Seeders are rarely online or can't provide more than 8% after a week. The roms are pretty mainstream and it's strange for this torrent to have been abandoned.

If I can find find the exact releases of as many roms as possible in the collection from other singular sources, can I resurrect this torrent by just copy+overwrite into the unfinished folder? is it that simple or is this hubris? am I too old to be this stupid?

As the title says, I have my own instance of OpenVPN running in a vps (default settings). Is that "safe" enough for p2p? Any settings I should change? Anything I should watch out for? I guess it would show that the IP address of my vps will be going to these p2p sites and connecting to the IP address of whoever I'm transferring from, but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?

Note: I am not requesting a link, source, nor a how-to, but rather I am curious if it is possible to use plugins if I have Illustrator from M0nkrus or Genp, because then I will know that continuing to search for one won’t be in vain, and that I am not just being foolishly optimistic.

Thank you.

I finally acquired the last episode of a USA hard-to-find tv show, but it has a Polish voice-over. I can still hear the English audio, but is there a way to remove the voice-over?

I use Dab to rip wav files, but I want to reencode them to 320 kb/s MP3s on android. I can't seem to find a good program to do that. Any suggestions? (I can already do it on desktop, I specifically need mobile)

Hey guys, I’ve got an issue where it’s driving me absolutely bonkers. I got a fitgirl Sims 4 repack, and it crashes without showing anything in the logs by itself. I install the game using wine, and launch it via Steam using all sorts of proton. Now I’ve downloaded the latest version, and the installer won’t even budge past 0.0%. Questions:

  1. Any way to get a detailed log, in order to understand what is going wrong?

  2. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hardware: NVIDIA 2060, Ryzen 5600x. I tried it on PopOS first, and then tried it on nobara just in case the issue was because of an old kernel. It didn’t help.

Thank you!

What makes y'all torrent instead of DDL? I read in the megathread that DDL is less likely to get you caught, but a lot of people on here seem to really enjoy torrenting and I must be completely clueless as to why. I'd like to have your insights

I know about Aim Labs existing, but my laptop is far too weak to use it, I'm afraid. I want this because: 1: I want to improve my aim 2: I'm currently trying to add scenarios to a conveniently named Libre aim trainer, LibreAim.

A splash screen for the internet portal at a Hampton Inn. The text says:

"We are pleased to provide you with internet service during your stay. By clicking below, you agree not to download, share or otherwise use others' copyrighted content, such as movies, music, computer games or television shows without proper authorization."

Is it enough to stop sharing a movie in response to a copyright complaint given to a seedbox or does the file have to be deleted as well? I removed the movie from the bittorent client, and the seedbox automated system says I'm compliant, but does the movie file also have to be deleted as well?

Edit: For further clarification, the seedbox explicitly states that the file has to be removed as well. But their automated system says I'm compliant by removing the torrent from the p2p client?

I'm so tired of battlepasses but some games have such cool skins that I do not want to pay for. Is there a way to pirate stuff like that?

Hi I just joined my first private tracker (torrentleech). I found something in the wish list which I have. I'd like to seed it to start out on a good foot. Are there any good guides on that? I've tried in the past and utterly failed, I'm hoping it's easier to start a seed on a private tracker?

I posted a link to an archive of most of this stuff in an earlier post but this url is much more convenient.

I would like to know how you have organized your jellyfin/streaming service content.

Especially if you have somethin other than simply "Movies - Series - Anime".

I'm struggling with discoverability, and was wondering if it could be solved by changing the structure.

Hello all, recently signed up for yoinked.org, but stupidly only saved my email in my password manager, instead of my username. The site allows you to to reset your password, but you're still on the hook to remember your username. From my searching, there is no support email for this site, and tickets must be made internally.

Sorry if this is a rookie question, but most of what I've downloaded over the last decade was nowhere near this obscure. I'd like to think this community could benefit from a corpus of Q and A, if this breaks rule 4, I'll gracefully accept if this post is removed.

I am downloading through Mullvad, which I know doesn't let you forward your ports. So I can appreciate that that seeder's settings and mine might not be super compatible.

Is there any flag or anything I can do to let the seeder connect at all, besides finding some other way to exit with port forwarding. Seedbox is on my horizon, but it is far out there.

My friend is looking for a resource to become fluent in French, he is forced to work with it. Asked to find a certain book, but it is not yet pirated on the resources of the wiki. My guess is that pirates have better alternatives for such a thing, so I'm launching a discussion.

I only ever heard about the book "Minna no Nihongo" in the context of learning Japanese.

EDIT: Thanks everybody.

Hey,

Anyone found a way to download full matchs from plus.fifa.com ?

No stream detector and downloader extension worked fine to download a match.

Piracy in Germany often uses direct downloads via one click hosters(you get an url and download from there, people use services like rapidgator.net). These often get hit with copy right strikes and are slow to unusable for free users. Would downloading for example a TV show via this route and then creating a public torrent "good piracy"? (If anyone has a guide on how to create a torrent, pls share)

Reasons why I think it might be not so good:
  • the groups/people need a motivation to provide the content. Distributing it without their consent might reduce their motivation. They also probably paid for some subscription to get the content
  • in german context direct download links are often considered safer for people who just want to download, torrenting done wrong can get you pretty high legal fees (500+ €)
  • it feels like stealing somebody elses effort
Why I think about doing it:
  • this gives people another way to get the content
  • torrents are free to use and way faster than those one click hosters (which often give you less than 100kB/s)
  • the uploader usually profits via affiliate programs, so when someone buys a premium subscription of a one click hoster, they get a share. I think piracy shouldnt be done for profit
  • people (especially outside germany) might have it easier to access torrents instead oneclick hoster solutions
  • torrents have no captchas lol
